Producer Nitram Zeus and vocalist Drina J join forces to bring you two slabs of sophisticated modern funk in all of its glowing neon glory. "All Night Long" makes no attempt to conceal its obvious dance floor appeal. Quantized synth-drenched grooves reminiscent of The System combine with an intensity to evoke thoughts of peak hour movement at Paradise Garage. Drina J's performance shines through beautifully and balances the retro-future production of the song with more contemporary vocal stylings. On "Love Language," the duo is joined by Temu who contributes his own vocal alongside Drina over a more midtempo track that glistens with icy DX7 chords, and should be well-received by anyone following the current resurgence of the UK street soul subgenre.

As always, we're bringing these two gems into physical form with a limited blue vinyl 7" plus picture cover, limited to just 150 copies!

After two critically acclaimed volumes of their producer-driven compilation series Tempo Dreams, Brooklyn’s Bastard Jazz Recordings is back with Volume 3 of the beat-centric, forward looking concept. For this edition, the label has tapped Soul Clap, the Boston bred international ambassadors of all things funky. Piloting their cosmic mothership all over the globe, Soul Clap have built a cult following worldwide both through their solo endevaors and via their Crew Love brand formed with Brooklyn’s Wolf+Lamb. Staying with the Tempo Dreams theme of showcasing new styles, emerging artists and the best of their beatmaking peers, Soul Clap has compiled a showcase of entirely unreleased modern funk, electro soul, and leftfield house music on this compilation, sure to make their spiritual guide Dr. Funkenstein aka George Clinton proud.

As in with previous volumes, the featured artists all come from different places, spaces and times but are tied together by the musical connection running concurrent on the record. Soul Clap’s unmistakable vibe is powerfully represented through their own original track “So Sedated”, a heavy chugging synth ode to the transformational powers of the dancefloor, featuring understated vocals by Dayonne Rollins. Crew Love & Dirtybird artist Tanner Ross teams up with Jules Born for “No 1 Else But You”, a late night off-kilter piece of nasty funk, while fellow teammate Navid Izadhi brings a Cali swagger with the smoothed out G-Funk vibes of “Cadillack”. The left coast is further represented by Pasadena’s XL Middleton whose “AntiSlumper” kicks off the album with a throwback boogie excursion, while the George Clinton-approved production team FSQ delivers the irresistible down & dirty “Break The Funk”. Amsterdam artist Tom Trago comes in tough with the electro porn of “Hard Cash” while NYC is represented fully with disco hero Tom Noble’s “Tanked”, Analog Player’s Society’s wavey “Enter City”, and Greg Paulus’s late night soul vibes on “Everything (Love Down)”.

Soul Clap Presents: Tempo Dreams Volume 3 arrives March 30 on 2xLP, CD and digital worldwide via Bastard Jazz Recordings, prefaced with a limited edition 7-inch double single in stores February 24th.

XL Middleton - Antislumper

Straight back to 1982 on this one. Beautiful chords and synths revolve around the EP’s title track and centerpiece. Diamond channels the sound of artists like Evelyn King and Howard Johnson as he tells his lover: “girl, you know I love your candy.”

Buscrates - You Got Me (Feat. Laura Benack)

Stand up

Brian teams up with modern funk heavy hitter Orlando Marshall (AKA BusCrates) on this killer remix of one of his seminal tracks! Maintaining the upbeat and heartfelt spirit of the original song, Brian and Orlando give the production a major modern funk revamp with slapping drums, bouncy bass, and heavy synthesizers. A sureshot in every sense of the word!

Brian K. Morgan is a prolific and seasoned musician from Englewood, New Jersey. His sound is timeless; reflective of the 80’s era during which he flourished and undeniable today. Brian’s collaborators over the years could form a Mount Rushmore of Funk and include George Benson, Kashif, Melba Moore, and Gwen Guthrie, among others. 

When his roller disco hit “A Good Time” dropped on UK-based label Super Disco Edits two years ago, Brian gained instant notoriety in the current modern funk scene. We are proud to present a new 45 from Brian’s group B & The Family (featuring his actual family) that will have every dance floor, pool party, and cookout rockin!
