  • DJ Octopus – OWA & WAMI – Atjazz Record Company

    I don’t quite know whether the sound effects of speech running throughout the arrangement cloud the impact of this production or enhance it but either this is a very piece of music. Soulfully charged via its rich horns alongside deep chords and punctuating percussion this tastefully hits the spot. Release: March 25https://atjazzrecordcompany.bandcamp.com/

  • LaTique featuring Kali Mija – Shake Shake – Atjazz Record Company

    Something else which has very definitely caught my attention today is the new single from LaTique. Featuring a rather wonderful vocal delivery from Kali Mija which drips with emotion despite being almost understated, its set to a background of smouldering keys plus unfussy drums seamlessly following a time-honoured tradition in House Music while proving to…

  • COLORJAXX – DISTANT LOVE EP – Atjazz Record Company

    It is the simple, fluid flow of rhythm that speaks directly to your heart here. In as much as this is about a gritty bassline and the forward motion of drums, while the occassional introduction of voices on Your Love serves to colour the atmosphere, it all then gets straight back to the essential essence…

  • MPESHNYK – THE LIES EP – Atjazz Record Company

    The harshness of the EP’s title doesn’t equate to the beautiful music you discover inside. Infinite Consciousness begins proceedings free from drums as pads and sounds unfold in blissful ways that sequence the joy of bliss into moments. The contrasting, Levitation then adds the punch of percussion to a more uplifting, funky shuffle that is…

  • SGVO – DUB WAREHOUSE EP – ATJAZZ RECORD COMPANY

    It’s perhaps down to the breezy, loose intensity of Lullaby (Dub) which makes it so tempting. Though the thrills seeping from the low-slung rhythm section as it winds down into a delicious combination of mood, atmosphere plus a bit of bump and grind are pure magic. This combines a sense of ambience defining a deeper…

  • BODDHI SATVA – Deeply Essential – Atjazz Record Company

    Shouldn’t music seek to reach beyond what is easily accessible? Whether that is the cause of la-de-da melodies or the over-used words that shape them. In which case you will find as much pleasure in Deeply Essential as I do. Two tracks adorn this latest release from the ever excellent Atjazz and while House Dancer…

  • Abel – Tornado – ATJAZZ RECORD COMPANY

    On a more positive note come these hot reworking of Abel’s wonderful album cut featuring Marcel & Elliott, although don’t let the opportunity to soak up all that gorgeous soul-tripping intensity of the original first – an outstanding piece of contemporary music. Firstly is the Rocco Warrior Mix which breaks down the elements, then adds…

  • Atjazz – Track 9 (Mix 1) – Atjazz Record Company

    Before I go releasing lots of hot words it is music just like this that I’ve been talking about at Magazine Sixty. Richly resonate, atmospherically tempting, reaching into your soul pulling out emotions to display across your face. Thoughtful, perhaps even politically suggestive. And yes you can deride all that from a piece of good…

  • Atjazz – Track 1 (Mix 1) – Atjazz Record Company

    I love the uncomplicated intent demonstrated via the stripped back title of both the track and its accompanying mix. The music plays just as directly espousing repeating motifs generated by heart capturing synth stabs spun around sensitive analogue reproducing drums. Number one captures a remote sense of time and space, then plays with that for…
