The first full album release ‘Life on The Street’ is a vibrant demonstration of how the band have played and worked closely together to create their own take on West African Highlife and Afrobeat, blending it with heavier funk, rock and jazz genres, enhancing the cross-cultural collaboration of members hailing from across Africa and Europe.

Today Is the Day (Linkwood Chop)

Meet Me On The Corner is taken from the album ‘Orange Whip’ which was BBC 6 Music’s Album of The Day on its release. A pounding beat beefed up by bass, guitar and brass, propels forward while ‘Ríoghnach Connolly’ (pronounced Rainer) sings lyrics that could be straight out of the playground, but suggest something a little deeper.

Here is a remix from the legends of funky house music, ‘Crazy P’ with both vocal and dub versions. Turning Honeyfeet’s latest opus into a straight up soulful disco monster by ‘Hot Toddy’ and ‘Ron Basejam’, with Rioghnach’s rasping vocals playfully meandering over crisp beats and trademark live bass.

Released on Record Store Day 2019, the 5th release on BBE offshoot ALIM Music comes courtesy of London-based multi-instrumentalist and bandleader Claudio Passavanti, aka Sunlightsquare.

This special ’45 features two incredible Sunlightsquare cover versions commissioned by BBE and Alim founder Peter Adarkwah. First up is ‘Hanging Tough’, an obscure Latin disco-jazz cut written by Vinnie Griffin and originally recorded by Board Of Directors back in 1987. Claudio’s stunning piano and synth work takes centre stage in this effervescent version, which also features backing vocals from London duo HanLei.

On the flip is a rendition of Rodney Franklin’s 1980 hit ‘The Groove’, a staple among jazz-funk aficionados to this day. Sunlightsquare’s take on the track also boasts original vocals from HanLei alongside virtuoso keys and flute, plus super-tight brass and rhythm sections.

The Pendletons return with a remix of the final single from their long awaited debut LP "2 Steps Away" . "Keep It Working" is a foot stomping disco bomb of a track with melodic keys, horns slap bass and guest vocals from UK Soul Queen Gizelle Smith.
"Keep It Working was written with a feeling of late 70's early 80's disco gospel vibe.  After lyrics were written I enlisted British songstress Gizelle Smith (Jalapeño Records) to join me on vocals to give it the disco diva touch.  It's our attempt to create a tune that Larry Levan would be proud to spin at the Loft!! " - Eric Boss (The Pendletons)
The track received further disco enhancement from NYC disco don Jacques Renault, resulting in almost 6min of scintillanting and garage-esque goodness.

It Ain't Working

Celebrating all styles of contemporary jazz from a myriad of fresh, exciting talents within the Lowlands, Super-Sonic Jazz Records is proud to announce its first label compilation featuring some of the finest, and diverse jazz, and jazz-influenced tracks from the scene’s very best. Super-Sonic Family Vol.1 directly follows up the sold-out Super-Sonic Jazz Festival that took place at Amsterdam’s Paradiso late last year, and is the culmination of years of dedicated work throwing events, and releasing records.

The thirteen-track compilation as compiled by KC The Funkaholic and brothers Vincent and Siemen Tenzers — the central figures behind Super-Sonic Jazz — is a snapshot of the rising jazz scene in the Netherlands, featuring a strong assortment of styles and practises, all built around a central jazz ethos. It’s a local breed of talent that has been fostered and championed by the Super-Sonic family for several years now, and with the compilation they’ve captured the Joie de vivre of the refreshed youthfulness that has been shaping the area’s musical direction. From housier beats, to fast tempos and smooth grooves with global sounds, the variety of styles and practises shows how the different communities and artists — whether they be established or fully recognised —have managed to build bridges between themselves through a strong connection the unorthodox rhythms and dark arts of soulful, and beat-driven jazz.

Featured on the record of the sounds of several producers, including local soulful beat-maker Planty Herbs, Rhythm Section producer Duke Hugh who brings a touch of cinematic percussion with an impassioned danceable gem, plus Rotterdam’s very own Ranie Ribeiro, aka. Ranie Ribeiro who channels energy from Cape Verde with some harp-heavy dancefloor sounds. Served up also is a smooth variety of extremely prodigious instrumentation; keys-man and Cinematic Orchestra alumni Dominic J Marshall splashes out with a blissful Rhodes jam, Super Sonic’s very own GreyHeads unleash their own re-interpretation of drum & bass, soul music, while Arp Frique’s Djosa lays down some instrumental, exotic jazz, boogie disco. In addition, renowned muso Trian Kayhatu is on board with some straight-up future soul, Son Swagga sets down some psychedelic jazz fusion, and Dominic J Marshall collaborator Glenn Gaddum Jr., aka, one of the Netherlands’ best bass players, bring a touch of class, with his effortless and dreamy music.

What started out as a series of events and shows at Paradiso has now gone on to become one of the most prolific hubs for jazz in the Netherlands. The label has gone on to bridge gaps between classic and modern scenes by re-releasing long lost gems alongside releases from the some of the scene’s newest, underground talents. Alongside the festival, the Super-Sonic Family compilation is just the latest step in the their development, and an important benchmark in the region’s jazz legacy.
