Modern Vintage is the new collaboration album from veteran emcee John Robinson (aka Lil Sci of world renown Hip-Hop group Scienz Of Life) and prolific drummer, composer, producer and band-leader Pat Van Dkye (aka PVD). John Robinson and PVD originally met at a show in 2008 and since then their chemistry has grown organically and has developed into the duo performing many formal shows together at venues like SOB’s, Blue Note NYC, LPR and others around the NY-NJ Tristate area. 

Modern Vintage spells out the approach in which this album was made from front to back: The music was composed with a combination of modern technology software mixed with vintage synths and outboard gear, all blended seamlessly with live instrumentation being the foundation. The lyrics and concepts were all spontaneously crafted in the studio, session by session, by letting the soundscapes speak to the lyricist similar to how vintage recordings of the 60’s & 70’s were created. 

“I took a much more structured songwriting approach to the lyrics on this album; my goal from the beginning of making this record was to take advantage of the fact that I am working with PVD- a composer/musician and not just a beat maker/producer, which definitely makes this record different from my other releases. This one is for all the true music lovers worldwide” says John Robinson. 

PVD states “making this record was a dream come true. From the very first session, we set out to craft quality songs that capture a cohesive vibe and feel good. In many cases, JR was writing to merely a sketch of what actually ended up on the record. It felt great to work with an artist who trusted me enough to lend his talents to the music not knowing where I would take it sonically. Live drums, keys, guitars, horns, and synths give this record a distinctly human feel that is present in all of my favorite records, old and new. A modern-day true Hip-Hop record, grounded firmly in the traditions of jazz, funk, and soul music.”

John Robinson & PVD’s Modern Vintage is now transmitting live to the world; catch the vibes on June 17th, 2014 via Brick Records.

"Unreleased Ja$$ 2012-2013” is the continuation of the 2012 released Ja$$ album on Feelin Music. Because of the great resonance and the request of another Ja$$ tape by many of his fans we decided to finally put out these gems. Counting 42 tracks this is probably the most extensive beat tape of quality this year. The tracks were created in the period from 2012 to 2013 and describe an era in which the Zurich beat-wizard Melodiesinfonie was not only very active, but also developed his clear, uplifting and straightforward signature Ja$$ sound.

Another week, another single from Life Sketches Vol.3! 

Honestly i've been a Grap Luva fan since my teenage years. Ever since Pete Rock introduced the world to INI via 'Fakin Jax' i've been devouring every beats & rhyme the younger soul brother has provided. I never imagined that 20 years later i'd have the opportunity to work with him and be a part of his musical history. I'm still soaking it in. Honestly, I can't say much more about this track other than LISTEN! 

Infinite love to Jabba Tha Kut for firing up his turntablism, Donald Malloy for his horn work and Joel VDK for keeping the visual fresh.

JuJu Rogers - Psalm 137 (Produced By Bluestaeb)

One of the underground's hardest-working young producers, Oddisee has built a thorough body of work with a steady stream of albums, mixtapes, collaborations, and instrumental projects. On Rock Creek Park, he breaks us off with 10 joints that are universally chill, loaded with jazz-drenched loops offering wispy flutes, funked-out bass lines, breezy guitar licks, soft horns, and earthy pianos. “Closed After Dark," "Beach Dr.," and the vibraphone-and-ride-cymbal-laced "Mattered Much" are standouts, though the ‘80s-influenced "Uptown Cabaret" and yU collabo "Still Doing It" are also impressive. Though many of the tracks are similar on the low-BPM head-nod tip, they all sound great and make an ideal soundtrack for just keeping it mellow.
