The What Factor (ft. Nigel Price & Tony Remy)

With the release of their 7th album, The Motet once again showcase their commitment to pushing the sonic envelope, while remaining dedicated to the musical traditions that have defined their sound. The new album, which is self-titled, boldly states that this is the band The Motet has strived to become. The whole has become greater than the sum of it’s parts with each member of the band contributing to the writing and arranging of the songs, telling a unified story through syncopated rhythms and melodies. If you've loved The Motet for years or are just tuning in, listen up, you haven’t heard The Motet like this and you won't be disappointed.

A sublime expedition from Brazil to the sky, “Modo Avião” (Airplane Mode) sees São Paulo based trio Caixa Cubo jet further forth from the lineage of Brazilian instrumental music.

Following in the footsteps of heroes like Azymuth, Antonio Adolfo, Cesar Mariano and Marcos Resende, with the tried and tested trifecta of synthesizers, bass and drums, Caixa Cubo have carved out their own idiosyncratic ideal of golden-era Brazilian jazz-funk and samba-jazz.

Encapsulating the vitality and experimentalism synonymous with Sao Paulo’s musical history, Caixa Cubo playfully straddle the elegant and the surreal, with masterful songwriting and the consummate musicianship of longtime friends and bandmates Henrique Gomide (keyboards) Noa Stroeter (bass) João Fideles (drums).

Caixa Cubo have been playing together for over 14 years - and that’s ‘playing’ in the truest sense of the word. As bassist Noa Stroeter explains: 

“A story, a joke, images, invented words, people we met on tour, places, fictitious or not, have always been part of our creative process. And they are precious materials beyond the musical work itself. This dynamic has stayed with us to this day, and for me it is the characteristic that guarantees that no matter what, we will have fun working.”

Presenting a contemporary reimagining of Brazilian grooves from the 1970s, Modo Avião marks an evolution for Caixa Cubo’s music which delves deeper into the tradition of Brazilian instrumental music, while continuing to develop its rhythmic and harmonic possibilities. Utilising an extensive understanding of Brazilian music history and Brazilian rhythm in particular, the group explore the seemingly endless possibilities of fusing carnaval marches, frevo and Baião, with jazz, MPB and funk.

Recent Caixa Cubo releases include 2023’s “Agora”, which featured guest vocalists including Xênia França and Zé Leônidas; and 2020’s "Angela," which was hailed by BBC 6 Music, Gilles Peterson, and Bandcamp as one of the best albums of the year. 
Caixa Cubo have performed at Jazzahead! in 2022 (Germany), Jazz à Vienne (France), Riverboat Jazz Festival (Denmark), Breda Jazz Festival (Netherlands), Blue Note São Paulo (Brazil) and Jazzkeller Frankfurt (Germany) 

This November Caixa Cubo will tour Europe, with performances in the UK, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, The Netherlands and France. 

Modo Avião releases on Vinyl LP, CD and digitally on the 15th November 2024 via Far Out Recordings.

Heart of Gold - Single Version

"Dana Express"

Musik: White Shoes & The Couples Company. 
Lirik: Aprilia Apsari


Oh, dendam aku menanti
Waktu terulur lama terbuang percuma.

Sering kali ini terjadi, gaji jauh tertunda resah dibuatnya.

Chorus:
Pak Direktur Kami lelah kandas harapan berlibur, senja indah di akhir taun kami pun ingin bersuka

Besar harapanku menggunung, semoga tempo lembur tidak sia-sia.

Tiap hari, pagi berangkat kerja
manabung impian besar indah bersama.

Pak direktur lelah aku menunggu gajimu, tipis sudah harapan berlibur di akhir tahun.

Chorus :
Lampu kota kami lelah
kandas harapan berlibur
senja indah di puncak gunung
kami pun ingin bersuka

Langit cerah kami lelah
kandas harapan berlibur
senja indah di tepi laut
kami pun ingin bersuka.


Lagu ini ada di dalam album kompilasi Frekuensi Perangkap Tikus Vol.2 yang diproduksi oleh Indonesian Corruption Watch. 

Produser rekaman: White Shoes & The Couples Company dan Harlan Boer

Lyrics
You were the one I worked hardest on 
Spent time and money on you but now you're gone 
We were a 9 out of 10 coming through 
Standing by for 2 for 1 zen in the queue 
Punched a hole through my heart, can't find a picture of you 

Give me some credit where credit is due 
Don't try to tell me I can start up anew 
You kept me grounded, grounded it's true 

You kept me grounded, roasted me then picked me up 
I'd come around every day, you keep me regular 
I just need to expresso myself 
You give me palpitations, you're bad for my health 
I'm caught out because I left you at home on the shelf 

Give me some credit where credit is due 
Don't try to tell me I can start up anew 
You kept me grounded, grounded it's true 

You were the one I worked hardest on 
Spent time and money on you but now you're gone 
We were a 9 out of 10 coming through 
Standing by for 2 for 1 zen in the queue 
Punched a hole through my heart, can't find a picture of you 
Give me credit, you know that it's due, yeah 
Give me credit, you know that it's true, yeah 
Give me credit, that's what it's all about 
Give me credit, you know that it's due

Boy On Fire

The Jig is a 7-piece funk outfit from Amsterdam with heart-warming, gut-grinding, knee-bending, filthy instrumental originals.
Last year The Jig was a valued guest at several Dutch festivals and clubs. They played with tenorhero Hans Dulfer in Amsterdam's Bitterzoet and pumped up the afterparty of Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings in Paradiso. 
At the end of 2010 they gigged in some respected clubs in New York City (Nublu, Kenny's Castaways) and recorded an album in the studio of Ken Rich (David Byrne, Lou Reed, Tracy Bonham, Eli ‘Paperboy’ Reed). The album is mastered in Studio 150 by masterwizard Zlaya (Sonic Youth, New Cool Collective). 
Twelve cosmopolitan energetic tracks bring you the funkspirit the way you like it. Stylish and soulful, with contemporary urge.
The Jig consists of some of the most generous musicians Holland has to offer: bandmembers played for a.o. Caro Emerald, Speelman & Speelman, Boris van der Lek, De Hardheid, Clous van Mechelen...
Sweat in the buttcrack, sir!
