“Stoplight”, the second single from Telemakus’ forthcoming record “The New Heritage”, showcases the artist's more experimental side. Fusing mixed metered drum patterns with angular chord stabs, the track is a continuous journey where the melody continues throughout, but the repetition contrasts the improvisations throughout the song cyclically. Telemakus composed the track alongside producer & drummer bastrd, writing an arrangement that feels fresh and unique. After a childhood of listening to Dilla, Madlib, Glasper, and the modern hip hop/jazz greats, then starting his musical journey writing beats with an MPC, Telemakus seeks to further expand that off kilter beat focused sound by pairing it with the virtuosic sounds of the jazz funk greats like George Duke and Herbie Hancock. Fans of modern, beat focused jazz of artists like Kiefer, Rob Araujo and Anomalie will also find something they identify with in this track. Stoplight showcases Telemakus’s versatility as a producer and artist.

‘The New Heritage’ , out October 13th, represents Telemakus’ lineage growing up in the jazz scene, gigging locally in the Bay Area. Being a self-taught pianist, the artist has a unique gift for harmony which evidently translates into the LP’s tracks as a continuous flow of inspiration. Having found his own sound listening to the likes of Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, DJ Harrison, and Robert Glasper, Telemakus’ has developed a deeply personal style, as he likes to define it, “off-kilter and unique”. Having written and arranged all the album’s instrumental parts, Telemakus joins forces with a host of incredible musicians to paint a series of stunning soundscapes. This is a truly special body of work and we can't wait to unveil it over the coming months.

She Got A Gamecube

I thought I had control 
I did what I was told 
Are you done when you say you've won? 
With your finger on the trigger of your gun? 

Who speaks to you when you're alone 
I know you're sick of throwing stones all day 
Running through a dream, running out of steam 
Until you throw your precious hope away 

I know the end to which I have evolved 
Is not to topple over and dissolve 
But simple pleasures never are as simple as they sound 
There's always part of me that's on the ground

This is a mashup of various Pogo tracks. All of the sounds heard here are samples from his tracks. I did a Pogo mashup nearly three years ago (https://soundcloud.com/grooveboxermusic/pogomix) but I wanted to do a Mark 2. A track in my more refined, more plunderphonic and groove-centred sound. I'm also posting this to concide with Nick (Pogo)'s birthday.
