Nearly a year after the release of the album 'A Million Faces', Cayetano returns with the single 'To Be Your Friend'.
 
Electronica, fusion, blaxploitation... once again, he manages to blend many elements in less than four minutes.
 
Playful and bright within its own darkness, 'To Be Your Friend' seems to have come from a different era. Ironically, not from the past!
 
The cover was designed by Ioannis Varytimidis.`

**A LOVE LETTER TO BREAKBEATS: Final Chapter**  

Wrapping up the final chapter of my beloved breakbeat series—two years of concept mixes, pure passion, and endless groove. Simple truth? I’m a breakbeat junkie. The tempo (110-150 BPM) makes it the perfect bridge between genres—hip hop, jungle, drum & bass, hardcore, and beyond. You’ve heard it everywhere, from underground raves to TV ads. But for me, it’s more than music—it’s a movement.   

💥 One last ride. Let’s go. #BreakbeatLove #FinalChapter #BreaksForever

A LOVE LETTER TO BREAKBEATS: THE FINAL CHAPTER

Proud to announce the release of my project with the Afiara Quartet entitled "Spin Cycle". This project was produced over the last 8 months in collaboration with 4 Canadian composers (Laura Silberberg, Dinuk Wijeratne, Kevin Lau, Rob Teehan). Here's how it worked:

Phase 1: 4 composers wrote 4 original pieces for the Afiara String Quartet. Pieces were recorded.

Phase 2: Skratch Bastid remixed each of the pieces, using select parts that were replayed by the string quartet, sampled, and scratched. 

Phase 3: The 4 composers remixed the remixes by writing new pieces based on the remix. Skratch Bastid & Afiara Quartet performed these pieces live and recorded them. 

This track is Phase 3 of Laura Silberberg's piece, titled "Dirty Laundry - Heavy Load".

Check out our feature pieces and interview (30 mins) on CBC Radio's "Q": http://www.cbc.ca/radio/q/schedule-for-monday-may-11-2015-1.3066925/skratch-bastid-and-the-afiara-quartet-blend-scratch-and-strings-1.3068985

Available via purchase link below the above waveform.

We premiered the project May 23rd at the 21c Music Festival at Toronto's Royal Conservatory of Music in Koerner Hall.

Sometimes it takes a few bumps to find the right direction; often it involves experience, guts and self-belief to trust yourself and venture from one to find another. The Milk are a band that believe with utter conviction that they've now found their way.

Fuelled by a rediscovery of the music and artists that originally inspired their formation, the four walls of their studio were ablaze with a soundtrack of Bill Withers, Isaac Hayes and the Isley Brothers throughout the songwriting process for their new album.

Eager to share their new songs, Deliver Me was released as a limited 7” single in November 2014 - finding its way onto the playlists of BBC 6 Music’s Lauren Laverne, Huey Morgan and Gilles Peterson - while The Milk’s dedicated fans packed out Tufnell Park’s The Dome for the band’s triumphant live return. The band unveiled their new songs in full for the first time to an intimate sold out show at Hackney’s Oslo in July.

The Bees' Paul Butler, who proved his production mastery with Michael Kiwanuka's Mercury Prize nominated debut, invited the band to record at Chale Abbey, a medieval barn on the Isle of Wight. Guided by Butler, the sessions captured the genuine version of The Milk - the sounds and honesty of soul.

The Milk play a headline UK tour this autumn.

The first time we heard Bobby Oroza, it was his slow moody ballad “This Love”, that perked the world’s ears and made a name for the dapper crooner that calls Finland his home. Since it’s release, “This Love” has become somewhat of an underground hit, the soundtrack to car shows and swap meets in the West Coast, numerous movies and TV shows, and it even made it to Earl Sweatshirt’s most recent mixtape. This new single from Bobby Oroza picks up the tempo and show- cases another side of his range with a record sure to move bodies and nod heads.
The A side “Your Love Is Too Cold” is a stomper that blends the groovy soul drumming of early Motown records with guitar that could have been lifted from a James Bond soundtrack. Bobby pleads over the track of his decision to call it quits and keep it quits.
The B side “Deja Vu” finds Oroza leaning again into the B side ballad stylings that made him a name to check for. Heavy duty drums lay down the canvas on which Bobby’s vocals paint the picture of a relationship that has come to a fork in the road. The Cold Diamond & Mink production and backing band are tight as ever and this is sure to be another classic with the slowie fans.

Taken from the upcoming Bobby Oroza full length album "This Love" out on Big Crown Records.
