You can hear, in the songs of No Regular Play, hints at the sounds that inspired the duo to make music in the first place, and sonic whispers of the vast musical lexicon they share. Friends since the age of eight, Greg Paulus and Nick DeBruyn grew up listening to Native Tongues and underground hip-hop and jazz. That love of music never waned: the two traveled to Cuba together to study Afro-Cuban music and Paulus formally studied classical and jazz and toured with the band Beirut. That explains, then, why their output since they began releasing music in 2008 – mostly as part of the Wolf+Lamb collective – has so effectively married diverse sonic influences with smooth house. Nothing Less, their debut release on the HAKT label, very nearly glides through its four songs, bringing along elements and instruments give this release depth, richness and texture. 

On “Nothing Less,” the opener, Paulus plays trumpet against a backbeat that’s suddenly surrounded by cosmic synths and his own Prince-reminiscent vocals. Track two, “Night Ranger,” feels like an ‘80s summer night, with keys forming elegant patterns beneath Paulus’s vocals and sparse, mournful horns. “Ice Cold Bottle” toys with synthy funk, and fills out with murky keys, thumping beats and lyrics that are smirkily, playfully sleazy (And includes maybe the best lyric of late: “Don't bother with the bathing suit/’Cause that suit will drop.”) And “Indigo,” which starts off with stacks of handclaps and big bottomed bass, unexpectedly weaves in swooning cello and string swells that feel hopelessly romantic.

Love Finds A Way

ふと思ったのです。
「自分が若い頃の日本のHIP HOPのMIX作った事ない。」って。
さんピンCAMPの頃の、あの時代の独特の雰囲気。
これからなにか動いていきそうな、そんな時代の日本のHIP HOP。

僕は名古屋というローカルで胸張ってDJやってるから、
ILLMARIACHIで始めてILLMARIACHIで締めるMIXにした。
そしてクラシックと呼ばれる曲も多数入れながら、
自分らしさもでてる選曲で。

オールヴァイナルの1発録り。
特に2枚使いをやるでもなく、凝ってるわけでもないけど、
今の時代でも、なにか響くものがあればいいな〜。
