I've been doing this song at shows since last spring. Thought I'd throw it up here, while I finish this new batch of tunes.

p.s. If the music touches you in any way, please feel free to share..

After two critically acclaimed volumes of their producer-driven compilation series Tempo Dreams, Brooklyn’s Bastard Jazz Recordings is back with Volume 3 of the beat-centric, forward looking concept. For this edition, the label has tapped Soul Clap, the Boston bred international ambassadors of all things funky.  Piloting their cosmic mothership all over the globe, Soul Clap have built a cult following worldwide both through their solo endevaors and via their Crew Love brand formed with Brooklyn’s Wolf+Lamb. Staying with the Tempo Dreams theme of showcasing new styles,  emerging artists and the best of their beatmaking  peers, Soul Clap has compiled a showcase of entirely unreleased modern funk, electro soul, and leftfield house music on this compilation, sure to make their spiritual guide Dr. Funkenstein aka George Clinton proud. 

As in with previous volumes, the featured artists all come from different places, spaces and times but are tied together by the musical connection running concurrent on the record. Soul Clap’s unmistakable vibe is powerfully  represented through their own original track “So Sedated”, a heavy chugging synth ode to the transformational powers of the dancefloor, featuring understated vocals by Dayonne Rollins.  Crew Love & Dirtybird artist Tanner Ross teams up with Jules Born for “No 1 Else But You”, a late night off-kilter piece of nasty funk, while fellow teammate Navid Izadhi brings a Cali swagger with the smoothed out G-Funk vibes of “Cadillack”.  The left coast is further represented by Pasadena’s XL Middleton whose “AntiSlumper” kicks off the album with a throwback boogie excursion, while the George Clinton-approved production team FSQ delivers the irresistible down & dirty “Break The Funk”. Amsterdam artist Tom Trago comes in tough with the electro porn of “Hard Cash” while NYC is represented fully with disco hero Tom Noble’s “Tanked”,  Analog Player’s Society’s wavey “Enter City”, and Greg Paulus’s late night soul vibes on “Everything (Love Down)”. 

Soul Clap Presents: Tempo Dreams Volume 3 arrives March 30 on 2xLP, CD and digital worldwide via Bastard Jazz Recordings, prefaced with a limited edition 7-inch double single in stores February 24th.

FSQ - Break The Funk

Uh! Don’t ring me twice (uh-uh)
Swipe, swipe, lies on the line.
Static buzzin’ in my spine (whoo!)
Yeah, I feel it every time.

I’m not your plan, not your weekend game,
Middle-finger storm with a funky name.
Wanna message? Wanna drop that line?
Actin’ like I said “come spend my time.”

See-through, see-through (hah!)
Fake moves, fake groove (yeah!)

Who brings the snacks when the party drops? (uh!)
Who leaves the chat when the tension pops? (yeah!)
Who cleans the mess when the mood runs dry? (funk!)
Who hits the mute when the small talk dies? (woo!)

You beg like a script that you never learn,
“No big deal” but you crash and burn.
Every line you spin, every hint you send,
See-through, see-through—funk don’t pretend!

(One, two, three, four!)

Bought a mattress the week we matched (hah!)
Should’ve unmatched, should’ve ghosted fast.
I was bored, would’ve kissed the wall,
Now I’m layin’ flat in a stranger’s hall.

Ghost it quick! (Ghost it quick!)
Ghost it one, two (Ghost it one, two!)
I don’t play (I don’t play!)
I don’t call you! (Nah nah nah!)

Who brings the snacks when the party drops? (say what?)
Who leaves the chat when the tension pops? (uh!)
Who brings the snacks when the party drops? (ooh yeah)
Who leaves the chat when the tension pops? (uh-huh, uh-huh!)

See-through, fake groove,
See-through, fake groove…
Ghost it quick, ghost it quick, ghost it one, two…

Rojai (pronounced “ROW-JUH” -- real name Jairo Vargas) is a San Francisco born singer emerging as a leading voice in the modern funk scene. 

As a frontman for groups like R&B duo Kool Customer and Latin-funk outfit Bayonics, Rojai has proven himself adept crooning on any groove in his raspy, soulful timbre.

"Strut Down," his solo LP debut on Austin Boogie Crew Records produced primarily by E. Live, is one of the strongest modern funk records to date!

Strut Down

Rojai - Just A Lil Bit (feat. B. Bravo)

XL Middleton’s rework of the title track from Libretto & Buscrates' collaborative LP transforms the song into an instant G-Funk & Hip-Hop anthem. The intersection of Libretto’s commanding lyrical presence atop the finest in Modern Funk production showcases an undeniable Los Angeles chemistry between the emcee & producer. With additional help from Moniquea on the chorus, XL’s Eternal Ridin' Remix sounds like it was tailor made for resurrecting summer, regardless of how cold it gets.
