A native of the Pacific Northwest, Manatee Commune (Grant Eadie) has built a sound, vibe and presence in his music that oozes the surroundings he grew up with as a child. Inspired by his fondest lifelong memories, as well as the beautiful sights, sounds and smells of some of the most breathtaking landscapes America has to offer, Manatee Commune has released his first single of 2019. “My Dearest Friend” is out everywhere on Friday, January 18th on Bastard Jazz Recordings. 

“Nostalgia drives a lot of my music making and this track is kind of the culmination of my dearest childhood memories. Those flashbacks of sparkly, sun soaked afternoons spent running through sprinklers in my neighbors front yard, and the whole weekends taken up by exploring my grandparents’ densely forested property with my best friend. This is one of the few tracks I’ve made that actually captures those moments and I’m pumped to share it with the world.” - Manatee Commune

2019 is poised to be the year Manatee Commune joins the ranks as a major electronic breakout act. Having already received the stamp of approval from fellow Pacific Northwesterners ODESZA and Emancipator on their respective tours and performing alongside others including Slow Magic and Blockhead, Manatee Commune is gearing up for the release of his Sophomore LP to reach a much larger audience. Currently, Manatee Commune is back in his newly renovated studio in Portland, Oregon, working on material for the upcoming album, and is more motivated than ever to raise the bar for what fans can expect from his music and live show.

“I’m excited to be back in the studio and exploring new sounds, getting messy with some new audio samples and field recordings. I’m looking to capture the emotions & feelings I want to feel all the time; sunlight, the smell of rain, dewey grass and untouched snow. Hopefully, everything will translate with the aid of some new interactive visuals, fresh instrumentation and some straight, groovy dance moments.” - Manatee Commune

05.  My Dearest Friend

Margino ''Happy People'' LP is now available. 
Release date: April, 19 of 2019

I'm really happy to reissue this masterpiece. Thanks to the following people for their ears, inspiration and good vibes: Margino aka Kim Kallie, Attie Van Wyk, Phil Hollis, Pikes Cronje, Byron, Louis Hlophe and Pat Shange🙏.

Thanks to my mother for teaching me pop art when I was a teenager. It gave me the idea to transform Margino into famous ''Marilyn Diptych'' by Andy Warhol 🤪. Thanks to Florian Weigel for your patience doing this crazy artwork.

Recorded at RPM Recording Studios (Johannesburg, South Africa) in 1985, ''Happy People '' is a flawless album with dancefloor hits such as ''Happy People'', ''I'm Getting Out'' and ''One Hot Night'' and downtempo tunes such as ''You Turn Me On'', ''You Need A Woman'' and ''You''. All rhythm tracks were played by Attie Van Wyk (Keyboards, Synthesizer, Drum Machine) and Danny Bridgens (Guitar). The full album is a cream of boogie funk, disco and pop. For this reissue, Jamwax took the pleasure to remaster the sound from the original tape. The artwork was also remake with Andy Warhol ''Marilyn Monroe'' pop art style, for your eyes pleasure.

Eddie Chacon experienced proper, peak-nineties acclaim in the soul duo Charles and Eddie: they scored a global No. 1 in 1992 with “Would I Lie To You,” appeared three times on Top of the Pops, and featured on soundtracks from True Romance to Super Mario Bros.. Their crooning style was clearly pop-ready, but undeniably reverent: the pair first met when Eddie noticed Charles carrying a vinyl copy of Marvin Gaye’s "Trouble Man” on a New York subway train.

By that time, Chacon had already been navigating music in interesting ways, all the way back to his teen garage rock band with the late Cliff Burton (Metallica) and Mike Bordin (Faith No More). In the late ’80s, he released a full-length on Uncle Luke from 2 Live Crew’s label and signed to Columbia as a solo act. He was a working artist, always popping up in unexpected places: through the course of his career, Chacon would write, sing, or produce ten Top 40 hits around the globe.

In the words of Mac DeMarco: “Eddie Chacon is planet earth’s number one musician. Yesterday, today, and forever.”

Years ago, Chacon retired from music for a second calling as a fashion photographer and creative director. In an interview at the time, he said, “I was fortunate to have a 35-year music career and felt that there wasn’t that much more for me to say or achieve.” Very thankfully, that’s no longer the case. Private experiments, far from the major-label center he once frequented, began to feel urgent and new. “There’s nothing more exciting for me than getting to start from the beginning again,” he says today.

“Pleasure, Joy and Happiness” will be available July of 2020 on the boutique Los Angeles-based label Day End Records. This is a thoughtfully considered album of quiet, confident R&B: it doesn’t jump out at you, but rather gets in you. Produced by John Carroll Kirby, the like-minded artist and collaborator with Frank Ocean and Solange Knowles, it features restrained percussion from Kanye West’s Sunday Service drummer Lamar Carter. Celestial soul as a break from chaos, these are quietly challenging songs as timeless as they are contemporary.

“What a rare and cool challenge it was for me to help Eddie re-emerge after a long hiatus,” says John Carroll Kirby. “I was excited to produce a record for him that captured the chill, laid-back wisdom and easy vocal mastery he has that you don’t see that much these days.”

Lead single “My Mind Is Out of Its Mind” finds a deep groove to try and contain spiraling heartbreak, while the sweet and wobbly “Trouble” balances the delightful near whisper of the title track “Pleasure, Joy and Happiness.” But even the project’s lightest moments feel sincere and mature. Altogether: a truly unifying release, coming from a man who’s earned the right to share such a regal, romantic sound.

“I used to think to myself,” Chacon says, “if I ever make a record again, I’d want it to be a record you’d have to be my age to make.”
