Potatohead People – Eat Your Heart Out [Bastard Jazz Recordings]
“Eat Your Heart Out” is Potatohead People’s first release since 2020’s “Mellow Fantasy”. Despite the long wait the duo from Vancouver pick up where they off. That means plenty of laid back soulful hip-hop beats that would make Dilla blush. Of course there’s an array of vocalists and rappers to take these tracks to the next level. “Keepin It Kool” has the perfect melding of flavors – lush vocals, jazz infused hip-hop beats – that sets the table for the entire album. Kendra Dias is a frequent contributor who also appears on the equally sublime “Everything U Need”. Other highlights include “Last Nite” featuring legendary rapper Redman. “Secret Mission” features Detroit rapper Frank Niti and funk vocalist Reggie B. “Follow Your Heart” is a blissful instrumental with warm chords. When it’s not broken, there’s no need to tinker. Simply continued dopeness from Nick Wisdom and AstroLogical.

The Selenites – Live From The Moon [Stereophonk]
“Live From The Moon” is the third release from the Parisian group The Selenites. The band specializes in Ethiopian music rooted in 60’s spiritual Jazz. The disc is filled with melancholic melodies and spirited rhythms. “Apollo IX” is a haunting yet fiery tune taken from their debut lp “Ethio Jazz Groove Project”. The nine minute plus tune is highlighted by bandleader Antoine “Obi Riddim” Laloux’s hypnotic flurries on flute and Marco’s warm tone on Baritone sax. “Crush Bottom Fruit”, heard first on their second lp “Behind The Mask” is a mediataive tune fueled by Fab “Fondamental Big Daddy’s” electric bass. Fab sets the stage for Marco and Riddim’s warm harmonic melodies. The live recording finds the band in their element. weaving through an array of psychadelic compositions that will keep the audience in the palm of their hands. Well worth checking out.

The laidback tune combines soothing vocals and warm chord progressions. “Rising Up” is another funked out track that features funk disciple Amalia. “Unconditional” is another head nodder with warped out synth arrangements and lush vocals. “Snapped” is tailor made for rappers Jakka Blades & Manny Marko. If you listen further you’ll appreciate the way Clyde pushes the envelope beyond boom bap. The arrangements are engaging and creative. This isn’t the type of record you would expect to find from the Atjazz label but it’s definitely worth checking out.

er composer as well as a master of the rhodes.
