Glenn Underground needs little introduction. Raised on disco classics and freeform jazz on Chicago’s southside and taking cues from deep house pioneers Larry Heard, Ron Hardy and Lil’ Louis, Glenn Underground has built a formidable catalogue of soulful, deep house records for labels such as Casual, Prescription, Peacefrog and his own Strictly Jaz Unit. He turns in a deeply musical rework of Nobody Like U — the Dancer’s Cielo mix — that steadily evolves over its six minute runtime. It takes several harmonic twists and turns, showcasing both Glenn’s skill as a keyboard and bass player and his ear for Mizell-inspired arrangements.

Surprise Chef’s music is based on evoking mood; their vivid arrangements utilize time and space to build soundscapes that invite the listener into their world. The quintet’s distinct sound pulls from 70s film scores, the funkier side of jazz, and the samples that form the foundation of hip hop. 


Hailing from just outside of Melbourne, Australia, their first two albums, All News Is Good News and Daylight Savings amassed a die-hard fanbase and brought their sound from their home studio to every corner of the globe. The band is now signed to Big Crown Records, joining a lineage of contemporary and classic sounds that have influenced Surprise Chef’s music since their formation in 2017.


Surprise Chef’s self proclaimed “moody shades of instrumental jazz-funk” encompass punchy drums, infectious keys, rhythm guitar you might hear on a Studio One record, and flute lines that could be from a Blue Note session; but when you step back and take in the entirety of their sound and approach, you’ll hear and see a group greater than the sum of its parts.
