The next installment of our "Parallel Voices" series is out today! “Distal Phalanx”, a blazing new tune by Manchester multi-instrumentalist Sivey, is a polyrhythmic piece of jazz-beats fusion for the groove heads. Sivey blends a potent brew of 70s jazz fusion with West-London style broken beat, resulting in a timeless sound that’s both fresh and vintage. This track marks Sivey’s broadening horizons , reflecting a new direction for his music - one that’s faster and more syncopated than before, with an emphasis on groove and rhythmic complexity alongside the familiar deep keys and synths of his previous productions. His unique drum programming, grooving bass licks and tasteful synthesizer runs propel this track into the listeners psyche, encouraging repeat listens. Available now on all platforms, streaming link in bio! "Parallel Voices" is an ongoing singles curated by https://soundcloud.com/slowya_roll to spotlight forward thinking fusion, broken beat, and experimental jazz - really, anything that grooves.

As we kick off 2022, we're excited to drop this single by aprovoli, NUMERO13 and zodivk.
“555” represents what it means to collaborate with people who might speak a different language than you, and is a testament to the power of music as a method of communication. It is also a middle ground for 3 producers that have very different styles and music backgrounds. Ending up into a superb track combining the worlds of each artist involved.

Here's the second single out of the upcoming album "Endless Era" by Chino Corvalán! Vuelve is a melodic and intense passage inspired by Meloza, an old composition by the same duo. It is one of the pillars of the upcoming Album by Chino Corvalán "Endless Era". The textures and deepness of Telemakus keys combined with the melodic fretless bass and drums by Chino will make your soul fly into the sky!
What is even more exciting is that you can now pre-order the vinyl exclusively on Bandcamp and you'll receive this one early as we can ship it before the release for once! So if you pre-order you'll get the copy a bit before the digital release as a premiere!

Urban Waves present “A Klinkvort Orange” the second single taken out of the upcoming album release by Shatter Hands. The track was made in Oslo with Oddbjørn during dark winter times and is meant as an upbeat escape from snow and cold weather to a warm place where you can let loose and dance. Oddbjørn is a drummer and producer so there is a lot of percussive elements to the track which is also a progression from Shatter Hands older slower works. This single includes a bonus second track! “A Klinkvort Orange” remix by Shield is a highly addictive and contagious instrumental hip hop track that brings back to the roots of the genre. With highly detailed textures the sound brings up a dramatic and epic atmosphere. Almost feels like the soundtrack for a super hero movie. The two tracks sum up nicely the promised vibes to come in the coming album “Alive on Arrival '' by Shatter Hands!

On this new flip the three musicians got together and recorded a track reminiscent of 70’s funk. Groovy guitar riffs and lush keys paired with tastefully executed drums are driving the track forward and immerse the listener into a sunny and relaxed atmosphere. A perfect track for positive introspection or enjoying a nice sunset.

Looking at the world from a different perspective, Let's Fly In Paper Planes is a song filled with joy, wander and curiosity, and is about resembling positive energy as an antidote to a world full of endless disposable clutter. It is about appreciating the simple things in life and finding your way while staying honest and true to yourself.

With his upcoming EP Let's Fly In Paper Planes (same title), Stan Forebee offers something different to the popular dreamy / sad emotional feelings - trend found in so many songs in the lofi space and beyond. Stan Forebee went back to the basics and started simplifying his songs by looking through the lens of a child. Curious about the project? Let's Fly In Paper Planes first and see what happens.

Blue was created while remembering the night scene of Tokyo during the artist’s student life. Back then he used to play in a club called “Blue” which was a cool Jazz venue in Minami Aoyama that hosted great live events and parties in the late 90s and early 2000s. This era of the artist’s life is very nostalgic and he translated this feeling through this new track as an homage.

Bacon Lettuce & Tmrw is a jazz album that reflects Ted Taforo’s musical journey and vision.

The album showcases his improvisational skills, which are rooted in his study of American music or “jazz” language. He also demonstrates his ability to connect different harmonic zones, creating a rich and diverse vocabulary that adds nuance, depth, emotion, and clarity to his musical communication. The album features tracks such as Dog Dad, Cloud Feelings, and Pizza Dreams, which capture Taforo’s personality and creativity. He invited many musician friends to collaborate on this album, such as Efajemue, Zephyr Avalon, George Silva, Chino Corvalán & Telemakus.

To celebrate and thank all of you who supported us all this time, we decided to put a free compilation for our milestone of 10 thousand followers on Soundcloud! All tracks are new and exclusive.

You can expect new releases from everyone on the track list in the near future, if not in 2016 surely 2017.
