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.

Mulatu Para Ti

Rivalling their legendary output from the 70’s onwards, Brazilian jazz-funk pioneers Azymuth’s latest album Fênix saw the band on top form, with their trademark samba doido (crazy samba) sounding as slick as ever. Since then, Far Out Recordings has comissioned a special one-off remix for the project, from Chicago deep-house legend Ron Trent, who has long cited Azymuth as musical heroes and one of his biggest influences. With a toughened groove and gorgeous swirls of synth and pad embelishments, Ron’s remix takes Azymuth’s futurist disco even deeper.

Fenix- Azymuth (Album Version)

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.

Iconic, innovative and internationally renowned force in avant-garde music The Art Ensemble of Chicago released their 50th anniversary celebratory album We Are On The Edge in April, and Erased Tapes is honoured to produce the vinyl edition of this exceptional body of work. Led by surviving founding members Roscoe Mitchell and drummer Famoudou Don Moye, these brand new recordings involve a staggering array of contemporary artists ranging from across the jazz, experimental and improvised music spheres; from the visionary poet and musician Moor Mother, trumpeters Fred Berry and Hugh Ragin, who have performed with Mitchell for over five and four decades, to bassist Jaribu Shahid, supreme cellist Tomeka Reid, celebrated flute virtuoso Nicole Mitchell and the extraordinary voice of Rodolfo Cordova-Lebron.

The vinyl edition, due for release on July 26, will be available as a double album featuring a meticulous studio session of the newly assembled group of musicians, combining re-recordings of works spanning the last 50 years, some never before recorded, as well as new compositions. The 4-LP special edition also includes their live set recorded at Edgefest, the annual experimental jazz and creative new music festival in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Having witnessed this exciting new formation around Roscoe and Don live at Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, Robert Raths was compelled to start a conversation with their US label Pi Recordings, based out of New York, and support this project in any way possible.

“Witnessing this music form in front of your eyes and ears is such a thrill; easily one of the most gripping live experiences I have ever had. The AEC have always had a firm place in my musical journey as they’ve kept reinventing and stretching the definition of not only jazz, but artistic expression itself. And I feel that with the addition of all these incredibly gifted and energetic next generation performers, Camae Ayewa in particular, they truly push current boundaries and raise new question marks; both in radical and beautiful ways. And they don’t do it as individuals, they do it as a collective that embraces diversity, which makes this project so urgent, strong and relevant, truly representative of our time.” — Robert Raths

The Art Ensemble will take their thrilling new live set around the world including Stockholm Jazz Festival on October 11 with more dates to be announced soon.

"50 years on, the Art Ensemble of Chicago is still transforming...the record is a triumph" — The New York Times

"Virtuosic, stylistically eclectic, politically and culturally radical, gloriously freaky and ultimately beyond genres" ★★★★ — MOJO

"Five decades in their existence, The Art Ensemble of Chicago still sounds cutting edge" ★★★★ — Uncut Magazine

"A graceful tribute and a testament to these musicians’ questing vision" 
— The Quietus
