A Moment of Unfinished Jazz

The cold air blew coarsely through the winter night. She could feel it in her bones as she walked beneath the glow of the office blocks and the dim glow of streetlights. As she looked around people came and went, faceless and blurry they were but mere reflections which moved in between the dark and shadowy spaces. The concrete upon which she tread was glazed in water from the rain which had poured all day long. She could almost catch a glimpse of herself when looking at her feet in the shine of the damp. She kept on walking through the night until she saw the light again once more. It was safer that way. 

Books is the next artist to release music on XVI. He delivers three tracks of elegant, enchanting house music which accompany the dark nights of winter very well.

You Know What

One of our favourite producers on one of our favourite labels?! Ja Bitte!
Man of mystery @joecleen has this sublime slice of lo-slung disco on the new V.A EP via @jazzzcabbage. The whole EP is great but we're here to talk about this cut, with its fun filtering,  cheeky castanets, crispy yet bouncy drums and soaring 70's disco strings.

SB PREMIERE: Joe Cleen - Cosmic Sandwich [Jazz Cabbage]

Available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/7HURahJJriw
Support it: https://kuronekomedia.lnk.to/OndaInvernale

Label: De La Groove Records
Artist: Various (Carlo)
Format: Digital
Cat Number: DLG008
EP Title: Onda Invernale
Release Date: February 2nd, 2019

Onda Invernale comes as the 2nd Digital VA and an answer to Blazing Waves release April 2018.
This one is a 5-tracks gathering : Carlo, lelù, Tom Jarmey and MarBlu, M.ono hits back on DLG and Le Hutin comes as the local boy.

This 5 tracks drive you amidst winterly feeling. Not saying cold, it is more something very cosy. 

Introducing on the organ-roller 'Niji No Hashikake' is delivered with tons of love and layers-growing-crazy by M.ono. Second named 'Jazz A Night', some carribean jazz bar piano inspiration and a large dose of evolution towards garageable beats from Le Hutin. Third is Carlo man hitting with a smooth groover well balanced between deepness and organic presence coated in charming vocals, 'starting tomorrow'. Forth comes lelù from outer-atlantic for a 90's beat alike, 'Pimp Talk' is just a fine exploration of house referring to hip-hop influences. Last comes Tom Jarmey with a very personnal softener, featuring MarBlu, where vocals and multiple key layers madly melt into each others.

Marking a departure with Jacuzzi Boys (2019), Fades and Rice offer us an insight into the process and landscape of their upcoming LP.  Through an unadulterated Remix EP, a bridge is built between the tight packed aesthetics of their previous LP, to the more emotional minimalism of «Luv Neva Fades»  (June 2020). Bridge builders include Deep88, Hugo LX and Chmmr. Also, it contains an exclusive demo version of some upcoming heat.
