Official single taken off the forthcoming summer banger LP "HEAT" dropping July 1st.

Grab ya drinks, fuel up ya Muscle Cars & Choppers, call the homies & get ready to party. Detroits Jay Sounds club infused LP "HEAT" is finally here & ready for take off.

Filled with loads of riffs of sharp, bright Leads, Lush DX EPS chords, heavy Detroit Bass lines, versatile rhythms & palettes on top of Jays signature polyrhythms. Coming off his last LP "Horizon" which was focused on society and internal reflection of 2020's pandemic lockdown, "HEAT" is as Jay puts it, is "Slappin MFs Awake!".

"I've been waiting for a couple years now to drop this onto the world, i'v felt I'm too much of a musical genius for people to still be JUST now finding out about me. SO i wanted to make a hell of a statement with this LP and wake MFs up who's been sleepin on me."

"This LP is by far my fav work i'v done to date, which says a lot given my catalog iv dropped so far. This is truly for the Summer, hence the title & the particular composition throughout this body of work which is essentially a Soundtrack for the Summer ventures. Some tracks purely for the Sunset drives, some for Sunrise drives & others for the night life. It plays a lot off my upbringing in the 90s & how i see the Summer & the memories i have that went into making this project of greatness. Pulling from both my lived experience from the Midwest back home to living on the West Coast is what curated HEAT."

"HEAT" is drenched with head bangers and body sweaters, filled with emotion that will carry from the Nostalgic & back to the Modern without skipping a beat. Rather it's Detroit's "Woodward Phunk" which Jay calls upon the genre "D Funk" that combines Detroit House & Funk, or it's "Keys 2 The City" that will put you in the mind of New Jack City vibes of the NYC 90s or maybe it's Jays "Dreamer" which is a Lush smooth ride of RollerSkate bliss of the late 90s R&B & Jazz Fusion."

Jay once again showing his range and bringing heavy amounts of storytelling to his music and back to Musicianship, so best believe which ever track pulls you in, it'll take you for a ride for this..is...HEAT.

Leeds' experimental hip-hop and nu-jazz producer apltn is a mainstay of exciting label start-up 'Well Overdue', and is a long-term collaborator of B-ahwe, TAMBALA and LAUSSE THE CAT. 

His signature, glitched-out, experimental hip-hop provides a fresh take on 'Fall Into', with shades of Flying Lotus by way of Hiatus Kaiyote.

Loyal To The Soil Vol.1

Brintex Collective - 'Anthem (Live at Flowriders Studio)'

It’s been a steady process of growth and a long time coming to arrive at this sophomore full-length for the man known in his native Steel City and beyond as producer/keyboardist/DJ Buscrates, and every minute of it can be heard and felt on these ten funky and highly evocative tracks.

The finely-honed balancing act between vintage-80s-synth goodness and neck-snapping 90s boom bap, all coated with just the right amount of soulful melodic sensibility never falters at any point on the album. For a more specific comparison, think Manzel's Midnight Theme LP updated for these strange times we're in seems to fit the bill, especially on tracks like "Prisms," "Floating In The Wind" and "Early Morning." This is the funky instrumental mood music you desperately need right now whether you realize it or not, and Buscrates is here to serve it up. "Buckin'" is prominent among the many highlights of the Pittsburgh producer’s album, strongly evoking the likes of Paul Hardcastle, Atmosfear and the Art Of Noise while simultaneously paying homage to the funk/R&B roots of Detroit techno pioneers like Juan Atkins and Derrick May. The album's sonic journey culminates in "On My Way," the only vocal track on the album and which features Soraya Watti's lovely vocals. One can easily imagine this track on the playlist of NY's WBLS in the early 80s. Soraya's smooth and soulful tones prove to be the perfect addition and act as a kind of sexy ghost in the Buscrates machine. The album as a whole feels like nothing so much as an updated, postmodern version of the kinds of sleek, funky grooves oozing through your Cadillac's 8-track deck circa 1972. 

It's music that's "smooth" in all the best possible connotations of the term: music that's smooth on the streets and also smooth between the sheets. It's sleek, sexy and very, very funky, which will come as no surprise to Bus' 12,000 Twitch followers accumulated over the course of his weekly Friday stream. Notable fans and supporters of his include Jazzy Jeff, Francois K, Dâm Funk, Rich Medina, and Spinna. Even more believers in his funky gospel have come as a result of his increasing road gigs in cities like Berlin, NYC, Detroit and Washington DC.

This new album is both a culmination and the beginning of a glorious new phase. Buscrates' time is right now.
