Mixtape of Canopy releases, CNPY001-CNPY009, 2021-2024.

Part 1

CNPY MXTP 2021-2024 Pt 1

After releasing SOUL FICTION in May 2023! Cosmo Klein & The Campers will release a Soul Fiction Remix album with remix-management by Berlin based DJ Daniel W. Best of Best's Friends Music. The Moods remix of “Head” is the first release of the remix-package.

In the past the Cosmo Klein from Berlin has dedicated himself to different genres of music such as Pop, House Music, Soul, Jazz & Funk. Numerous hits like "Beautiful Lie", "Feel Alive", "All I ever need" or the Duet with German singer Maya Saban have made Cosmo Klein one of the few internationally successful music exports from Germany.

​Being a huge fan of camping vans, Cosmo recorded some of the best Jazz musicians in the game like Cory Wong from Vulfpeck, Benny Greb, Hanno Busch, Claus Fischer, Peter Weniger, Jakob Manz, Felix Lehrmann, Jost Nickel and yes, many more in his 1988 Hymer Camper Studio.

​„I just don´t like studios. As a child I always wanted to play outside and I guess it´s still the same way. I just can´t stand to sit in front of a computer and go to the same workspace everyday. I can´t see anything inspirational about that. Recording musicians in different sceneries all around Germany was beautiful and the fact that I stick to the same instrumentation on every track glues the pieces together. It was a great journey and I learned so much, working with these great cats.“ Cosmo Klein.

Reel People Music expanded the fizzing dynamic between highly accomplished label associates Opolopo (AKA Peter Major) and Angela Johnson with the release of their brand new album Best of Both Worlds in October 2024. The nine-track record is a sublime meeting of soulful musical minds, building on the pair’s previous ‘track-by-track’ collaboration, as well as influences ranging from Quincy Jones and The Gap Band to Ohio Players and The Isley Brothers, with purpose, poise and punch. Opolopo’s vibrant live-sounding studio craft meets Johnson’s rich and deliciously textured vocals – nuff said!

We are now excited to present some classily tailored DJ edits by Opolopo with the focus very much for the floor. Part 1 features the 4tothefloor mixes of Somebody, a song of selfish love and redemption performed with Johnson’s suitable sass over an Opolopo production beautifully primed by peacocking b-lines and guitar riffs.

A new extended version of Buffalo is next. Infectious percussion and scat play chopping between deep down synth-bass and cosmic jazz-funk solos before firing euphorically into full-on 4-4 groove. 

Lastly and with similar energy pulsing through, the extended mix of The Ones You Love, with its struttin’ disco mix of bass guitar and piano.

 “Angie and I didn’t have any agenda when making this record other than just living in the feeling. The vibe between us was easy, as always, so the grooves and songs flowed organically,” Major explains. “The quality and range of Angie’s vocals blow me away. They add so much soul and feel-good energy to the tracks we create. More than that they pull everything together and take you on a journey. Best of Both Worlds is funky, driving, danceable… but it also has honesty and depth.”

“We didn’t want to make anything obvious,” Johnson adds. “This album looks to connect with the themes that concern and inspire people around the world right now. Peter challenged me. His musical ideas are really wide-ranging, which was a breath of fresh air in terms of pushing me to perform in different ways – from soul beats to uptempo to my gospel roots. We’re from different parts of the musical spectrum but fit together perfectly. It really is the best of both worlds, hence the album title.”

Based in Stockholm, Sweden, DJ-producer Opolopo continues to fruitfully explore the frontiers of funkiness after some two decades of productions right across the soulful dancefloor spectrum for labels such as Local Talk, Z Records and Defected. His remix discography includes Gregory Porter, Jungle, Leroy Burgess and Mother’s Favorite Child. New York native Angela Johnson was a member of acid jazz group Cooly’s Hot Box before enjoying solo success via a string of acclaimed R&B albums including They Don’t Know, It’s Personal and Naturally Me. During the Noughties, Johnson featured on Reel People singles Can’t Stop, In The Sun and You Used To Hold Me So Tight. Most recently, she has collaborated with Opolopo on hit Reel People Music singles Stay This Way, Good Lover and Sunshine.

Reel People Music is a label borne out of the success of acclaimed collective Reel People but representing so much more. Launched in late 2009, the imprint has built a fiercely loyal international fanbase through its passion for artist development, musicianship, song-craft and soulful groove.

Produced in Sweden and the US last year, Best Of Both Worlds marks the latest shining output from a renowned record label and talented studio partnership with so much soulfully to say. It’s a joy to listen.

1. Rachel Duns - Make Up My Mind

Catalogue Number: #VCR014
Release Date: 6th December

Rachel Duns on ‘Make Up My Mind’:
"It's jazzy. It's psychedelic. It's a reflection of my confusion about where I fit into the world as an artist.
It features some of my favourite musicians in the world, Kyle Hood (Guitar), Kenny Lyons (Drums), Chris Quinn (Bass), and Sean Morrison (Drums)."


“I’ve loved seeing Rachel develop her individual sound over the past few years, and ‘Make Up My Mind’ demonstrates a more mature, sassy voice combined with dreamy flute playing.” - Seonaid Aitken ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


Rachel Duns Bio:

The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland’s jazz course graduate Rachel Duns formed her eponymous quintet in 2021 for a debut gig at Edinburgh’s Traverse Theatre. Since then, Duns has taken her band across Scotland playing various venues and jazz festivals. 

Duns quickly made a name for herself after being named 2021’s ‘Rising Star’ at the Scottish Jazz Awards; supporting Buster Williams in Glasgow and being included in The List Magazine’s 2022 ‘Hot 100’. Joined by her bandmates, she has amassed an album's worth of her original compositions, pulling together influences from jazz, neo-soul, blues and psychedelic rock.
