Dutchy & oriJanus - EerieNght! (AstralBasement Vol. 1.5 Pre-Explorations now available)

Started a decade ago in 2011 with vol.1 Shuko and F. Of Audiotreats are now back with their final instrumental album "Cookies & Cream vol.5". Both producers teamed up again to bring nothing else than smooth jazzy hip hop jams with some little bouncy touches here and there.  A long journey comes to an end with a decade creating beats, writing songs and working with artists such as anderson paak "Jewelz", B-real, talib kweli, Nipsey Hussle, Ludacris or Chance The Rapper. Cookies and Cream vol. 5 is an album inspired by the grandmasters of beatmaking pete rock, j-dilla, q-tip or hi-tek. The limited vinyl is a special edition with some tracks that are not even available on streaming platforms.

PARTYNEXTDOOR ~ Things & Such

A luxurious sonic sanctuary where deep house sophistication embraces the ethereal beauty of South Indian classical music. Sarod and veena textures shimmer over liquid tabla programming and warm Rhodes piano chords, while sub-bass frequencies provide meditative grounding.

Canada's music has always been robust, but in recent years it has leapt to the forefront with different artists making their mark in respective circles and setting certain standards. We hit Toronto this time, and cast the spotlight on 2nd Son, an electronic music producer and multi-instrumentalist. His debut EP entitled First Light (2015) highlights a unique future-gazing, science-fiction infused pedigree of electronic soul, pushing the sonics of beat music into the cosmic landscape. Since producing the Strange Creature EP in 2014, and subsequent singles with longtime collaborator and fellow RBMA Bass Camp alumni  a l l i e , the two were nominated for the SOCAN Songwriting Prize and made debut performances at NXNE, Manifesto, CMJ and M for Montreal. 

2nd Son's home studio has always been a meeting place for like-minded musicians, and 'Me and my homies' was a track that was conceived together with Emdee, a long time music collector and gifted musician. The two recorded the first two sections with a palette of funky synth sounds, wah wah guitars, and percussion overdubs. Months later, another musician Rennie B. Williams (from Antigua)dropped in the studio, and started to lay his rhodes magic in the end section, and with 2nd Son finally piecing it all together, the result is a super groovy treat, infused with elements of hip-hop, soul, and jazz funk - the perfect soundtrack to the start of your day.

Evil Needle - Soft Touch

Timeless

On their third full-length release, Potatohead People widen the frame of their progressive musical vision and deliver a far-reaching yet approachable set of moods and grooves.

Mellow Fantasy continues to showcase the trademark instrumental prowess of the duo and their ease with the loose but hard-hitting drum style brought to the fore by Jay Dee’s influential productions, but goes well beyond basic boom bap bread and butter, with singer-centered R&B and uptempo bumps sharing the stage. 

Beginning in 2008 as a Vancouver-based hip-hop production team, Potatohead People (Nick Wisdom and AstroLogical) have collaborated with a fantasy league of MCs, including Frank Nitt of Frank’n’Dank (the 2013 breakout jam “Back To My Shit”), Illa J (producing an entire album for J. Dilla’s younger brother) and the late Phife Dawg (the beloved A Tribe Called Quest co-founder’s last recorded verse was over one of their beats).  

Setting them apart from other Dilla-influenced beatmakers is the way they push the scope of the style, working the corners with their own unique touch. At its most basic, “the goal has always been making really dope loops,” they explain. By using slices of their own rough instrumental ideas, finding “a chord progression or texture that you can hear again and again and never question it,” they’ve taken this fundamental concept and elevated it to new levels of melodic, harmonically complex music.

A jazz-like responsiveness to the input of collaborators is a key component of how the team works. “We like to get the artist involved when the beat is an early idea, and build the beat around the vocals, getting inspired by what they do.” 

On Mellow Fantasy, they had some impressive inspiration. Pos from De La Soul immediately connected with “Baby Got Work,” a sophisticated slap that went through several iterations before settling into its ultimate form. Appropriately, the song’s diligent construction echoes the ethic of the grind in the clear-eyed, precisely dovetailed lyrics fans have come to expect from the Daisy Age don. “Baby Got Work” is the album’s lead single, hitting on 9/25/20.

Befitting Potatohead People’s origins as a hip-hop group, cameos from Illa J and Slum Village’s T3 on the summertime teaser “What It Feels Like” and Vancouver veteran Moka Only (the sassy, vanity take-down “Ungodly”) add to the unimpeachable rap bonafides. 

The hometown connections continue with Lotusland local Kapok slinging verses on a couple tracks and rising stars Kendra Dias and Clear Mortifee, who stake serious claims as names to watch with standout vocal turns on the low-slung neo-soul “Break Even” and the upcoming second single “Hidden Levels,” a high-flying house/future boogie hybrid. Following up their successful 2019 collabo “Single Life,” Bunnie makes her return to action with the group on “Kettle Boiling.” Ranging further, Reggie B, who broke on the scene with his lead on Onra’s “High Hopes,” shines on the optimistic bounce of “Bring The World A Little Closer.”

Threaded throughout are interlude instrumentals that comfortably manage the neat trick of being musically intriguing while retaining an accessible, gut-level thump. Look no further than the statement-making, Yussef Kamaal-like funk fusion album opener “1st Light” and their nod to overlooked Vancity synth pioneer Dale Jacobs (“Ode To Mr. Jacobs”) for clues to where Nick and Astro’s hearts are at.

Mellow Fantasy, released 10/30/20 on Bastard Jazz and available on vinyl and all digital platforms, is Potatohead People’s most evolved collection yet, rooted in earthy low end but elevated, expansive and reaching new musical heights.
