Thinking About You (Prod. Tom Misch)

'Various Assets - Not For Sale 2013' is a collection of some of the music that was made during the Red Bull Music Academy during four early summer weeks in New York City last year. The double CD contains 30 tracks composed, improvised and discovered by the 62 international participants and a cast of high-profile studio team members, who all got their fingers dirty on synths, Mellotrons, vibraphones, drum machines and anything else they could lay their hands on. Enjoy!

Known as Los Angeles' "Ambassador of Boogie Funk," Damon Riddick represents the citizens of the Funkmosphere to the fullest. Anyone who grooves to the likes of Slave, Aurra, early Prince and Prelude Records, will knoe what to do when they hear "No More Love."

Written by Damon Riddick (US). Produced by Dâm-Funk.

Dâm-Funk - No More Love

As a thank you to my fans, I thought that it would be a good time to put up a track that a few have been asking for. Good things come to those who wait! 

Enjoy,

Music's Autobiography

New Zealand’s Myele Manzanza, who took part in the Red Bull Music Academy 2010 in London, first gained recognition as the drummer of the celebrated Electric Wire Hustle outfit. Since leaving the band in 2013, Myele has had some impressive solo work to show on ‘One,’ released via BBE, and collaborated with luminaries such as Theo Parrish, Amp Fiddler, Mark de Clive-Lowe and fellow Academy alumnus and First Word Records label-mate Ross McHenry.

We’re proud to present this exclusive stream of Myele’s excellent new ‘OnePointOne’ album, recorded live at Los Angeles jazz institution Blue Whale. Besides live versions of ‘One’ cuts, the album also features covers of Theo Parrish, Jill Scott and Bobby Hutcherson, and was recorded with Mark de Clive-Lowe, Ben Shepherd, Nia Andrews, Charlie K and the Quartetto Fantastico string quartet under the lead of Miguel Atwood-Ferguson.

Pick up the album via First Word Records on November 11th, 2016 and catch Myele Manzanza and Ross McHenry on their double album release tour through New Zealand later this month:

Brooklyn-based Bastard Jazz Recordings is proud to present The Kosmichemusik EP by Montreal/Vancouver duo Potatohead People (aka producers Nick Wisdom & AstroLogical) who had previously created internet buzz through their digital-only releases on netlabel Jellyfish Recordings. Their debut for Bastard Jazz is a trip through the mellow synth-jazz hip-hop style they’ve become known for. 

The EP kicks off with “Kosmichemusik”, a chugging joint with humming bass, gritty drums and well polished glimmering synths setting the mood proper. Next up, “It Gets Good” features Vancouver mainstay MC and renaissance man Moka Only spitting mellow Sunday-morning style rhymes over Potatoheads deep and moody hip-hop vibes, while “Blossoms” features Canadian vocalist and frequent collaborator Claire Mortifee providing gorgeous, quirky vocals over a bubbling, bouncy track with subdued bass, guitar and Rhodes weaving themselves in.  Next up, “Love Hz” is an instrumental cut with crispy drums, ghostly vocal stabs, a catchy bubbling bassline and pulsing keyboards, while “Back To My Shit" is a lovelorn tale of breakup and redemption featuring the rhymes of Detroit's Frank Nitt (Frank'n'Dank, J. Dilla) with very catchy yet deep synth-heavy production from the Potatohead People. The EP rounds off with “Journey”, an expedition the deeper realms of beat music with subaqueous synths, lifting strings, and neck-snapping drums.  

Bastard Jazz will also be releasing a limited edition 7” from this project featuring “Love Hz” and “Back To My Shit” on Valentine’s Day for all the heart-breakers and/or broken hearted.
