Lofi heavyweights Phlocalyst and Mr.Käfer unite again for the second volume of their joint project “Now / Again” on Melting Pot Music. “On Or Two” is the first single.

But wait a minute…. is it really appropriate to label “Now / Again II” Lofi? If you follow one of the relevant playlists, you have heard some tracks by our two friends for sure and, yes, they are heavyweights within that scene (check their numbers). But what about the music? “Now / Again II” is a far cry from sad piano loops, fake vinyl crackles and played out SP-404 effects (or whatever the racoon in you associates with Lofi). 

Let's call “Now / Again II” contemporary smooth Jazz rooted in soulful Hip-Hop instead. Executed with a great ear for strong melodies, sophisticated arrangements, and an everlasting love for blue notes. You won't regret it. 

“Now / Again II” is available digital and on LP. 

Phlocalyst – Trumpet, Rhodes, Synths, Piano, Bass

Mr. Käfer & Phlocalyst - One Or Two

Welcome to Episode #122 of the Blue-in-Green:PODCAST which this week sees Imran connect with Raw Select's Sean Sophiea in Niigata, Japan.

In a typically freewheeling conversation, we discuss some of our favourite music releases of 2022 - yes, we're a little late(!) - we ponder the curious case of Egon, MF DOOM and the missing notebooks, and we ask the age-old question... Babyface or D'Angelo?

The Blue-in-Green:PODCAST runs in conjunction with the online radio station, Blue-in-Green:RADIO which celebrates 21st century soul, jazz, funk, Latin & hip-hop music. These shows are designed to give you some insight into the incredible range of talented presenters we're so lucky to host from all over the world and to geek out musically with us.

Mr. Käfer & Phlocalyst - Sunny Side Up

Welcome visitor to a brandnew edition of my Quiet Dawn mixtape series focusing on ...Folk Psych Funk.
As the 1960s melted into the ’70s in a colourful swirl of musical possibility, bands and singer-songwriters were experimenting with newfound freedoms. The psychedelic era had brought about many changes and much political upheaval in its wake. Discrete genres became fluid. Many acts fused different sounds together. Rock would meet jazz. Soul was mixed with psychedelia. In this fecund environment the nebulous yet highly prized form of folk funk emerged.

In what’s become a goldmine for crate-digging hip-hop and electronic music producers, keen to find an obscure and funky sample not yet rinsed out or carrying the threat of litigation, folk funk is a blend of acoustic guitars, looping repetitive grooves, jazz touches and full fat drum breaks.

You hear classics of the genre from Kenny Rankin or Terry Callier ,rare new discoveries by Quiet World or Kathi Smith and a killer new psychedelic take on the afro samba classic canto de lemanya. 
Turn on, tune in, drop out.
I wish you  a happy  festive season!  TW
