The Jade’s debut single (taken from their forthcoming album “Love Harder”) is a radiant burst of sunshine. It’s also a breezy, two-fingered salute to convention. This is coyote funk, smuggled across borders with nothing more than a passport to freedom. A riotous cross-pollination of sounds, brandishing musical impunity with a firm policy of soulful cooperation. Authentic? It’s the gospel truth! Nebraska’s Josh Hoyer delivers a powerhouse vocal performance, soaring over riotous rhythms and fluid grooves that feel right at home in sweat-filled basement clubs or an open-air set as the sun dips low over the horizon. Behind The Jade is the artist better known as Casbah 73, leading a transatlantic ensemble of top-tier players equipped with heart and heat, bridging worlds while remaining firmly centered around home base Madrid. An essential spin for fans of the real deal, this is not just a very fine debut single – it’s a call to action. About The Jade: Having carved out a place in the contemporary club scene with releases on Glitterbox/Defected, Boogie Angst & Lovemonk Records amongst others, Madrid’s Casbah 73 recently shed his skin and is now ready to introduce The Jade, a live ensemble that prioritises emotion, excitement and the art of the song.!! Led by Oli Stewart (Casbah 73), the project brings together a remarkable group of players. At its core, The Jade is about people: musicians in dialogue, shaping rhythms and melody, singing songs from the heart. It’s that shared pulse based on a timeless musical vocabulary. The Jade’s sound is post-pout and grid-free. Raw soul, free from modern dancefloor tyranny. Intimate disco, dead selfie, jazz dance freedom and Iberican funk all rolled into one, rooted in emotion and shot through with a dose of funky afro-latin jazz rhythms. Genres that blend and bleed into each other, sharing a common thread, one stupidly simple idea: songs and the expressive power of live instrumentation.!! Comin’ atcha from behind the Tortilla Curtain (Madrid!) and spearheading the resistance, you will find Chavi Ontoria on keys and David Salvador on bass, forming the rhythmic foundation. They’re joined by the rousing horns of Josué García and Dani Herrera and the vibrant voices of Deborah Ayo and Nia Martin. All the way from Montevideo, guitarist Nico Ibarburu weaves beautiful textures, while top notch artists such as Josh Hoyer, Angela Gooden, Ale Gutiérrez, Malcolm Strachan and others broaden and enrich the project’s emotional and musical range. The Jade is a celebration of the human touch. It’s a whole lotta love!
