One of the most electrifying acts to have emerged in recent years, New Regency Orchestra announce their highly anticipated debut album on Mr Bongo with their first single, ‘Labasta Llego’. A reimagining of Rafael Labasta’s 1972 original, the group have delivered a contemporary take on this sublime serving of Afro-Cuban jazz energy.

Harnessing the fusion of ideas that exploded out of New York’s melding of jazz and Latin during the ‘50s to the ‘70s, New Regency Orchestra are an 18-piece big band that has been setting the scene alight on stage. Led by artistic director Lex Blondin, the group are a hand-picked line-up of some of London’s finest Latin and jazz musicians. Providing a fresh spin on a selection of the seminal songs that emanated out of that golden era, they bring a contemporary radiance to their recordings.

Originally written in 1972 by Dominican trumpeter and orchestra leader Rafael Labasta, who played with greats such as Kako, Cortijo y Su Combo and even The Big 3: Machito, Tito Rodriguez and Tito Puente, ‘Labasta Llego’ is a salsa-infused track bursting with colour and creativity.  Congas, cowbells and timbales dance around bandleader Eliane Correa’s joyous keys providing an infectious rhythm on New Regency Orchestra’s version. With the rhythm locked, a wall of horns blasts you straight to the shores of the Dominican Republic. One of two vocal tracks from the album, Jose Cesar’s expressive vocal tones, backed by Flavio Correa add to the Latin spice, as Nick Walters steps forward for a spirited and spellbinding trumpet solo.

Lex sums up the single perfectly, “It’s one of our live anthems and it always goes down a storm. The music speaks for itself. It’s impossible to keep your hips still with this one!”

New Regency Orchestra - Labasta Llego

Ever since they shot on our radar last year we’ve got excited about London duo @lesonmusic, who deliver a fusion of soul, R&B, trip-hop, and jazz all wrapped up in crisp and detailed electronic production.

The duo comprising Liam Fergus and Emily Ady jumped back into view in August with a swirling piece of electronica called Without A Sound. Having created a credible buzz with their earlier work, forward-thinking experimental label squareglass recently signed the pair to their eclectic roster.

Being big fans we’re delighted to have LE SON curate this mix for us and here’s what they had to say about their musical selection:

“The mix reflects a range of our combined influences. A mixture of artists across different genres who have inspired us and helped us find our own sound. As well as a cheeky little glimpse of some new unheard LE SON material.”

Sit back and relax as Liam and Emily glide from big band swing disco to contemporary jazz via tropical house and more. Happy listening!
