Title: Music Makers
Album: Start from scratch (LP)
Mastering: Lfe Blanka (Kasablanka)
Artwork: Julie 0
Year: 2013

"Music Makers" is an abstract hip hop odyssey of endless imagination between dreams and reality.
The Gap Between Dreams and Reality is called Hard Work, we are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams ;-)

Music Maker was inspired by Arthur O'Shaughnessy poem's called Ode (1874)
"We are the music-makers,	 
And we are the dreamers of dreams,	 
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,	 
And sitting by desolate streams;	 
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:	 
Yet we are the movers and shakers	 
Of the world for ever, it seems."

The Fritz, beat maker extraordinaire and all round sample-based music enthusiast from Cornwall, returns to Ragtime Records with a Jazz Hop double A side, Lemonade, and Back in '89. 

Packed with vintage samples from London's 1920s swing scene and iconic Film Noir vocals, Lemonade is a glitchy lo-fi beat that's filled with rare Big Band loops that are blended with authentic Boom-Bap drums, MPC style. 

Next up is Back in '89, a swingy nod to the Golden Era of Hip Hop that's as atmospheric as it is catchy, with a stuttered sample, neck-breaking head-nod rhythm, and a warm low-end that's just right.

The Kitchen of Tomorrow is an infectiously fun Jazz beat from The Fritz that features a rolling piano loop, crisp percussion, and silky-smooth scratch cuts.

Inspired by Mark Farina's Mushroom Jazz series, The Kitchen of Tomorrow is similar in style to DJ Food, Paul Nice, or early Mr Scruff. This latest release from Fritz, who hails from Devon, is the perfect addition to a Jazzy hip-hop mixtape, a cafe Jazz playlist, or a chilled-out festival opening set. 

On the b-side is I'm Going Crazy, a country and western inspired Jazz beat featuring some iconic vocals, clever sample chops, and Fritz's iconic golden-era soundscape.

Baby Is Back

Stuck Up There is the latest instalment in The Fritz's exploration through  obscure jazz records and 1960s sci-fi. With a melancholy sample, the tune tells the story of a group of astronauts who are unable to get home after their  spaceship breaks down on the Moon.  
As the vocal sings 'misery, you've got to go', the astronauts look back at Earth  and lament that they'll never be able to describe the beauty of the view to  anyone back home.  
Coupled with Fritz's unique drum sound and crisp production, this latest  release form Ragtime Records is surely destined to get Stuck Up There after  you've played it through your headphones. 

The Fritz 
Hailing from Falmouth, UK, The Fritz is known for his jazzy sample-based lo-fi  glitchy bangers. Always digging deep, his works give a nod to the Golden Era  of Hip Hop with a boom bap style and blend of vintage film noir samples.

result is a track that feels like an intimate waltz between eras.
“For me, music is the ultimate time machine,” says Duke Skellington. “When I discovered this song,
it felt like a treasure from a different world. I wanted to bring it back into the modern times—not just
as nostalgia, but as something alive and electric for today’s listeners. And what better way to
celebrate that timeless romance than so close to Valentine’s Day?”
Duke’s remix transforms the haunting melody into an irresistible anthem for lovers and dancers alike.
Swing-inspired brass and string elements weave through deep house grooves, creating a lush
soundscape that’s perfect for everything from candlelit evenings to packed dancefloors.

It Means A Thing If You Swing

We're very pleased to welcome Odd Chap back to the label with his remix of Thrill Ride.  The original 'Thrill Ride' produced by Tom ESC & featuring the beautiful vocals of Emma Lea switches between tasty guitar hooks, fun swing beats, brass licks, and what can only be described as lush monkey island vibes.  

In his remix, Odd Chap pays homage to the original, keeping to the same vibe, but with phatter chunkier beats and a heavier electronic bassline.  In the breakdown Odd Chap builds a lush soundscape with Emma's vocals, double bass and keys all beautifully tied together with a precise Hip Hop beat.  Once the drop hits however, it's time to get moving with phat double time drums, beefy electronic bass and big brass licks.

Stick this track in your road trip playlist, it's time for a Thrill Ride!

Whether you're catching rays at the beach, catching up with friends at a BBQ, or chilling with some drinks down the park, Emma Lea, Tom ESC & C@ In The H@ have the perfect soundtrack to Summer 2025.

Get ready to bask in the nostalgic glow of summers gone by with 'Summer Sun', sung by the rising star Emma Lea, and produced by Ragtime stalwarts Tom ESC & C@ In The H@.

Summer Sun is an ode to the carefree days, sunshine-soaked memories, and the simple joys of summer.  Produced by Tom ESC (of Electric Swing Circus) and C@ In The H@, the song plays to both of their talents, with the moving analogue brass arrangements and instrumentation, and tight modern electronic production combined.  
Summer Sun has a full brass section to give off the summer feel-good vibes, which switches between organic sections and chopped up sections, giving a juxtoposition of new and old, in a smart seamless way that sometimes makes it hard to tell what is electronic and what is analogue.  All the while Emma's vocals bring you back in time with nostalgic sun-drenched lines that everyone can relate to.

LYRICS:

VERSE 1
Wenn die Bürger schlafen geh'n in der Zipfelmütze,
und zu ihrem König fleh'n dass er sie beschütze,
zieh'n wir festlich angetan hin zu den Tavernen.
Schlendrian, Schlendrian, unter den Laternen.

VERSE 2
Wenn im Glase perlt der Sekt unter roten Ampeln,
und die Mädchen süß erschreckt auf dem Schoß uns strampeln,
küssen wir die Prüderie von den roten Mündern.
Amnestie, Amnestie allen braven Sündern!

VERSE 3
Wenn der Morgen endlich graut durch die dunst'gen Scheiben,
und die Männer ohne Braut beieinander bleiben,
schmieden sie im Flüsterton aus Gesprächen Bomben.
Rebellion, Rebellion in den Katakomben!

CHORUS
Die Nacht ist nicht allein zum Schlafen da
die Nacht ist da, dass was geschieht
Ein Schiff ist nicht nur für den Hafen da
es muss hinaus, hinaus auf hohe See

BRIDGE
Berauscht euch Freunde, trinkt und liebt und lacht
und lebt dem schönsten Augenblick
Die Nacht die man in einem Rausch verbracht
bedeutet Seligkeit und Glück
