Alice Coltrane- Stopover Bombay (We Are The Horsemen Re-Edit)

After one year from the tribute to Yusef Lateef which has had a great feedback, the Beatfonics Crew is ready to release another tribute. 
This time the Crew is ready to challenge the great Lonnie Liston Smith and his unmistakable smooth jazz sound. 
After a long research through vinyls and records, The Beatfonics Crew give honor to Lonnie Liston Smith reinterpretating his sound with dope drums, fat bass lines and leads in a brand new key. Everything considering the essence, the trademark, the HipHop culture that connects the whole Crew. 
The beat's swing will bring you in a cosmic sound's world that just Smith's Fender Rhodes, piano and keyboards can communicate 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dopo un anno dall'omaggio a Yusef Lateef, che ha riscontrato un seguito positivo nella discografia della crew, i Beatfonics ci provano con un nuovo tribuito. 
Questa volta si mettono in gioco con Lonnie Liston Smith, che ha fatto dello smooth jazz la chiave di ogni singola produzione. 
Scelti i migliori samples, i Beatfonics rendono onore a Lonnie Liston Smith, reinterpretando il suo suono con batterie ecclettiche, giri di "fat bass" e leads in chiave moderna, senza tralasciare l’essenza, il marchio e la cultura HipHop che unisce i membri della Crew. 
Lo swing dei beats trasporta lentamente in un mondo fatto di suoni cosmici, che solo le note del Fender Rhodes, del piano e delle tastiere di L. L. Smith possono trasmettere.

“Southern agricultural penitentiaries were in many respects replicas of nineteenth-century plantations, where groups of slaves did arduous work by hand, supervised by white men with guns and constant threat of awful physical punishment. It is hardly surprising that the music of plantation culture — the work songs — went to the prisons as well.”

What would happen if you lock up a bunch of producers and musicians from different backgrounds into a studio complex for several days and give them complete creative freedom to record whatever they like? 

This is the question that music label INI Movement asked themselves. They decided to set up an experiment in their own studio complex in Haarlem. They invited a varied group of artists consisting of several members of brass band Gallowstreet, Rilan & The Bombardiers, Umoja & Pitch Controller Mitch. 

Guests that stopped by include Freshy Jazz and members of The Mauskovic Dance Band. The above mentioned contributors have helped each other with their personal projects but have never recorded in such a 'supergroup jam session type setting' where there was no directive style to the project. It could be seen as a collaboration in the style of supergroups like Soulquarians, Native Tongue or Odd Future. 

The result is a blend of different genres where the styles, tastes & speciality of each contributor meet. This is displayed in the tracks 'Berimbao' and 'Crappy Samba' where Umoja, best known for their tropical tracks and edits, is backed up with live recorded brass sections by members of Gallowstreet. Or Pitch Controller Mitch 
(formerly known as DJ for the group Pete Philly & Perquisite) not only contributing as producer, but also experimenting with his own vocals on 'Give It To Ya' & ‘A Star Is Born’. Also Rilan (lead singer of Rilan & The Bombardiers) can be heard on several songs including ‘Put Yo Feet Up Off The Wall’ where he complements the Disco & Funk drenched track with his raw vocal appearance. 

The young and talented multi-instrumentalist Lucas van Ee (Saxophonist in the group Gallowstreet) showcases himself as an established producer in many of the productions. 

The Collaboration 
Just like the collaboration between producers & musicians, collaborations have also taken place in the creation of the artwork (Photography by INDVDU edited in collages by visual artist Harm van Ee) and the creation of three music videos to be released along the way (one of which displays choreography by international dance phenomenon Roche Apinsa). The name Birdhouse is drawn from the nickname of INI's studio complex where this all went down. We dub this album 'Birdhouse Sessions Vol. 1' as an ode to this beautiful place that allows us to share our passion and experience complete creative freedom. One Love.
