OLDr's first instrumental release after supplying vibes for the tracks made with Lance Ellington and Pete Pritchard this is a slice of Bluesy LoFi Jazz Hop hovering between the electronic and the analogue and organic Jazz with Vibe Shiftr. OLDr likes playing with genres and twisting expectations without playing all the rules and Vibe Shiftr obliges in the sonics of Hip Hop. This could have been penned in the fifties but is ultimately a modern twist on brassy blues. More to come.

It's the twilight zone of the SoundTrack's sonic sculpting digging up bells and haunting pianos and acoustic guitars in a rotating refrain accompanied by trappist ahhs and further haunting drones. Difficult to say whether this might be scary or indeed calm and relaxing. Context my dear boy, context. For us it's calm and relaxing and perfectly fits in a relaxation playlist to add textural variety. SoundTrack SoundSystem moulding aural images no matter how you wish to interpret them.

Its midnight. The tempo is down. Jazzy Vibes and sexy Sax combine to set the tone poem of mystery and suspense. A nagging Lofi Hip Hop beat underpins the bed of jazzed up sonics to add to the uncertainty of the music and yet in the end you need to breathe. Breathe. KooLr mash up sounds and beats to yet again push the boundaries of instrumental jazzy beats.

Dope vibe with a bit of frivolity and groovy fun. The tenor sax leads the melodic riffing with the old skool synth taking over ultimately leading to a harmonised solo featuring both. Underpinning this light hearted but uplifting melange is a tight and funky bass and drum loop with the occasional drop to sparse pad and synths. Dope can do a fine groove and layer with harmonies and melodies to suit.

Bounce

GBBRQ2200052 Kind Of Dope Bounce

Modern production referencing classic soul and 70s Jazzy fusion with fat beats.A nod to Deodato the 70s electronic jazz fusion maestro from Brazil. Lance’s silky smooth vocals gliding over the jazzy chord changes and pulsating riffs and orchestration while the chunky hip hop inspired beats hold the whole vibe together. Timeless or like a coocoo chick from the past dropping in a modern nest of groove. Pop, Soul, R&B, Jazz and Hip Hop all laying claim to the defining genre but all giving away shoe gaze nods to the competitors. Either you’ll get it or it will pass you by.

Smokin'. SoundTrack SoundSystem return with a slice of Big Band smoocherie evoking noirish soundtrack styles with the coupe cruising the LA streets and the Private Dick scanning the illicit activities of the ne'er do wells. Led by an evocative Trombone melody supported by the sax section. Proper old school moods.
