July's first recap is a summary of the artists we've showcased here during this month. Klaus Layer, Tajima Hal, Concept Of Thought, Okvsho, Swarvy, Hubert Daviz. A lot of hip hop, golden instrumentals. But there’s more…
Read MoreLike a summer night breeze, Traphouse Jazz plays softly in a room with dim lights. A brilliant 6-track EP produced by the Zurich-based brothers, Okvsho. It is a groovy blend of hip hop beats and modern jazz.
Read MoreIn June we constructed, brick by brick, an eclectic playlist of more than 70 tracks. Different paces, moods and rhythms. Plenty of hip hop and jazz, plenty of dancefloor bangers and lonely melodies.
Read MoreOn flute & synthesisers Tenderlonious commands the 22archestra, a dream team of top talent. Harmony all over this one. The Shakedown is his debut album, with a groove of its own, subtly meandering jazz, to hip hop, afrobeat, latin and exhilarating free forms.
Read MoreArguably the biggest name currently in the jazz scene, Kamasi Washington has a long odyssey that plays long and beautifully into a summer night. Heaven and Earth is his second full-length album, unfolding over two halves that each run over an hour.
Read MoreThe second recap of June summarizes the best sounds that cruised around here during this month. For now, 61 tracks that can please different moods and tastes.
Read MoreWhile on working on his latest album - the magnificent Mind Games -, Ol' Burger Beats left behind some golden beats, songs and remixes. They deserve to be listened after all. Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind is, like Mind Games, a work of art.
Read MoreFollowing his debut - and acclaimed - album Kickinit Alone on Leaving Records last year, Kiefer is back with a new full length album. Happysad is a masterful piece of thirteen tracks that, again, blends instrumental hip hop beats with magnificent piano chords.

Read MoreIn May o sótão was influenced by different paces, moods and rhythms. A 60-track selection sums up the best we've heard and talked about during this month. We hope you enjoy. It was carefully built - sometimes accompanied with wine, others with coffee.
Read MoreNuova Napoli is the result of a long musical research on the sound that shaped Napoli during the ‘70s and ‘80s, mixing the prevailing genres (disco, jazz-funk, African rhythms), which ended up in Nu Guinea’s DNA.
Read MoreKamaal Williams (a.k.a. Henry Wu) is back with The Return, a vast ten-track recording of ‘70s-inspired funk-fusion, electronic bounce, straight-ahead jazz, and atmospheric keyboard solos.
Read MoreGreen is a 10-track LP of smooth, ambient jazz by Robohands (a.k.a. Andy Baxter), and is the newest release by Village Live Records - the first album of the genre to drop on this label. In charge of drums, guitar, bass, piano, and synths, Andy Baxter experiments with hip hop and jazz to deliver something completely original.
Read MoreThis month's new entries come from some of the best new releases - Bluestaeb, Yadava, Fitz Ambro$e & Submerse -, others are simply memories that we saved to revisit - from the east to the west with Gang Starr's "Jazz Thing" and Naughty by Nature's "Mourn You 'Til I Join You".
Read MoreHavana Cultura is back with another release scheduled for June. "¡Súbelo, Cuba!" showcases an extended network of like-minded, forward-thinking musicians driving Cuba’s music forward.
Read MoreMay just started and already we stop time to recap on what has been playing around here. The voice of Billie Holiday is subject of reinterpretations by master Wun Two - the mesmerizing samples of "Gone With The Wind" in "Noite". Some world-jazzy vibes come with Kamasi Washignton…
Read MoreThis week Gilles Peterson's Brownswood Recordings drops the first full release coming out through the keys of Joe Armon-Jones. "Starting Today" follows the acclaimed "Idiom" EP released with Maxwell Owin in 2017 and Ezra Collective's (of which he’s a co-founder) "Juan Pablo" EP.
