https://woodworkrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/majestik-func

The first outing for Woodwork's 'func' series traverses 31 cuts from several artists; some familiar faces already on the roster, some new additions, and some esteemed guests who have provided crucial influence on Woodwork both past and present.

AFT Lounge Tech has purposefully selected a specific range of sounds, compiling a continuous mix designed to weave an essential storyline... one which traces the overlapping sonic footprints of classic electro, breakbeat house, chillout & jazz electronica, idm, and electro funk. The collective sound induces the perfect vibe for an upbeat lounge setting... the 'back room' party atmosphere... suitable for intricate moves on a more spacious floor... simultaneously that warm lit space to relax and soak in some deep, soulful sounds. The beats in here are uptempo, fractured and funky, catering to the bboy and house dance cypher... an uplifted flow guided by engaging melodies and soulful progressions.

The chosen tracks and continuous mix together complete an expansive set of tools and blueprints for recreating an elusive atmosphere that happens only when things are going off in the back lounge... with grooving and chilling locked in peak effect. For context, enjoy the 'Majestik Func' continuous mix, and then get intimate with its constituent parts, a stunning set of emotive original tracks contributed by diverse range of inspiring artists... more of this to come...

Majestik Func - continuous mix [by AFT Lounge Tech] (wood099 preview)

https://etheraudiorecords.bandcamp.com/music 
“Transcendence” is the next chapter of the collaborative musical explorations of electronic producer Ivan Shopov and jazz pianist and composer Dimitar Bodurov. Consisting of six long-form and deeply immersive pieces, inhabiting the realms of neoclassical music, ambient, experimental jazz, and downtempo electronica, the sequel to 2020's "Coalescence" is a daring, playful, and rhythmic musical offering. The flame of this collaboration was seemingly sparked by the spontaneity and energy of free improvisation but of precision and musical mastership as well. “Transcendence” is highly atmospheric but always remains focused and direct. Carrying the traits of contemporary composition and advanced sound design, it's a challenging but captivating and intriguing listen. Most importantly, Shopov & Bodurov manage to paint a coherent musical landscape. Their signature approaches and styles remain recognizable but are also heavily intertwined thus creating something of their own.

Music video dropping sometime later this week. I will add the link here when it's out, so keep listening.

I've been dipping into my vault. I made this couple months ago. I just flipped a cool acapella. Nothin fancy.

Anderson .Paak - Jewelz Flip

I spent 4 months on this track and it's still imperfect, but I'm tired of keeping it to myself.

Thomas and Julien are Dutch brothers from South of France. They propose either Hybrid DJ or live acts cutting from Jazz, House & Techno  mixing several genres while keeping this uplifting, dirty and groovy feel. 

Passionates in authentic sounds, they produce their music through field recordings. Their video concept "A Day In” translates cultures through field recordings and collaborations with local and traditional musicians. They already have concluded first collaborations with Gnawa musicians in Morocco, Huichol tribe musicians in Mexico, Icelandic choir, and musicians from Osaka, Bengalor, Fiji Island, Bangkok and more. 

With releases on Crosstown Rebels, DGTL, Sapiens, Bar 25 and their own imprint, Klassified Records, the two brothers also run the Klassified Studios, a co-creative space in Amsterdam.

Developing her artistic capacities, Mariana Barrier studies at first at Prague Conservatory, where she discovers Jazz vocal, mixed with electro - house music. Lately she is moving to Paris, where more possibilities are opening to her, particularly in field that she is interested in: electro - house - jazz. She continues to work on her voice, which becomes with time more and more sensual and alters to undeniable proof of her personality.

Mariana Barrier découvre le jazz vocal mélangé à de la musique electro - house au Conservatoire de Prague. Dans un deuxième temps son choix se porte sur Paris où plus de possibilités s'offrent à elle en particulier dans le domaine qui l'intéresse: l'electro-house-jazz. Elle continue de travailler sa voix qui au cours du temps devient de plus en plus sensuelle et devenant ainsi une preuve indéniable de sa personnalité.

Woodwork Recordings is a Canadian record label that fuses multiple styles of electronic music, with branches in techno, electro, house, drum n bass, ambient, dub, hip hop and synthwave... Woodwork emerged in the late 1990s, releasing techno on 12” vinyl EPs with full-length live performance mixes on cassette... after vanishing for a 15 year hiatus, the label rekindled its past and began a second run, branching off into wider sonic territory... deliberately free of any singular definable sound, Woodwork is committed simply to craft, substance, and diversity...
