TERRITORYBAD :: JAZZY SPORT

I love this collaboration - Tettory BLK (Grooveman Spot) and East London’s Simbad who together make up TettoryBad. Back to the Soulful Boom Bap flavor we all love from Jazzy Sport Camp. I smell a Winner folks. You should be familiar with both artist's and Label who've been around for long time and continue putting out great music. Google that shit!

AD BOURKE :: FUTURE FUNK

"Mirage" is the first Citinite EP from the Rome-based producer, AD Bourke. Combining soul chords, neon synths, hip hop beats and funk phrasing, he invites us on a trip full of light and expansion. This is some fresh FUTURE FUNK peeps, so pay attention!

Carrying the torch which was first lit by Dam Funk, and later carried by Onra, we currently have the pleasure of riding a wave of new producers using all the latest production techniques but with their heart firmly rooted in boogie and funk. The track which begins our journey, "Cosmic Connection", is the perfect introduction to Bourke’s cosmic style, with its relaxed rhythms overlaid by fizzing funk synthwork. It’s perhaps worth pointing out right from the start that Bourke’s music studio has only one window, and it looks straight up into the sky! "100" then drops with heavier, more club oriented beats. This was the track that first came to our attention via Benji B’s Deviation show. "Solar Commuter" with its fun acid bass is the newest track of the set, and along with the title track "Mirage" which opens side B, is more uptempo. "Diff Star" was recorded whilst Bourke was living in Brooklyn (and "One For Me" and "100" were recorded shortly after his return to Rome) and you can hear how that Brooklyn summer spirit left its mark. The last track is the incredible vocal version of "Cosmic Connection" featuring Stockholm based singer Amalia. With great attitude and a dynamic delivery she steals the track and makes it her own. An excellent debut, perhaps not with the all-encompassing anthology-like prowess of Dam-Funk's debut, but then I suspect this dude is a lot younger. Look out for more neon blushed vibes to come from this amazing new kid on the funk block!

HUDSON MOWHAWKE

The days of Live bands/Concert seems to been taking back stage to the young and rising stars of tomorrow. Live Drummers seem to be replaced by Midi Key Boards fully loaded with samples and a arsenal of synth patches with one singal mistro behind a laptop. I know its hard for most of MY readers to swallow, but that's the truth.

I must admit some the music is good, most bad but here's one kid that's making some noise. I recently posted "Rising 5" by Hudson Mohawke on my Podcast awhile back which had some people talking. This kid is already shooting for the starts.

OLIVERDAYSOUL

BOOM, BLAPS, AND SLAPS...

SLEEPER, from OliverDaySoul. I dont post much hip hop flavors, but when I do it's usually something funky. Synths, Boom Bap drums, with that Future Funk. Reminds me of some Dudley Perkins vibe.
