Jazzbois – Still Blunted
Budapest resident trio Jazzbois specializes in hip-hop inspired jazz fusion. “Still Blunted”, their latest release is filled with a plethora of funky beats and sun drenched synth arrangements. “Chrome”, a bumpin’ mid-tempo tune is ignited by the thumping bass of Viktor Sagi. Dom Beats adds funky sax flurries on top of the groove. Bencze Molnar’s smoothing keys are the final touch. “Darker Than Disco” is high octane fusion with funky synths and infectious beats. “TooHi” is a funk jazz infused rework to the Stevie Wonder classic. If you enjoy jazz inspired beat makers like Kiefer you’ll no doubt enjoy this one. Their instrumentation combined with hip-hop sensibilities add up to definite satisfaction.

Allysha Joy – The Making of Silk [First Word Records]
With “The Making of Silk” singer/songwriter/keyboardist Allysha Joy is in the mood for love. The eleven track release is a marvelous collection of dreamy emotive compositions as only Allysha can interpet them. The opener “Nothing To Prove” is a sublime recording where Joy confesses her unabashed pure love for someone. Finn Rees chips in with warm synth and rhodes arrangements. “Hold On” is augmented by Oscar Jerome’s hypnotic guitar. Joy states that her love is strong enough to allow someone the freedom to be the best version of themselves. The recordings are lifted by some of her long time friends from Melbourne who also happen to be superb musicians. Drummer Ziggy Zeitgeist appears on several tracks. Jace Xl provides backing vocals throughout the album. The result is engaging live instrumentation and string arrangements that linger in your soul. Add Joy’s blissful vocals and songwriting and you have a recording that will stir your heartstrings.
Paul White – Peace in Chaos [R&S Records]
“Peace in Chaos” is the third lp on R & S records from multi-instrumentalist Paul White.

The aptly titled “Surreal” is a dreamy mid-tempo tune that is filled with joyful euphoric vibes. White has solidified himself as a premier producer who has worked with an array of musicians from Sudan Archives to Danny Brown. This release finds him front and center, crafting a record in his own personal vision. The result is a blissful journey that will brighten your mood.

Glenn Echo & Daniel Meinecke – What Happened To Yesterday Vol. 2 [MotorCity Wine]
“What Happened To Yesterday Vol 2”, the third lp from Glenn Echo and Daniel Meinecke picks up from where Vol 1 left off. That means a heavy dose of dub rhythms and wobbly synth tunes. Meinecke displays his command of the moog and the rhodes while Echo’s production keeps the listener heavily engaged. “Three Season Crank” is filled with infectious reggae rhythms. Electric guitarist Raja Kassis pushes the rhythm forward with his hypnotic chords. “Pull My String” is another mellow tune punctuated by outer world synths. “Off The Rails” differs from the rest of the tunes in tempo only and could easily be found in club roation. The combination of ear popping percussion and psychadelic synths adds up to a certified banger. Echo and Meinecke deliver another dubbed out gem that hits the mark.
