Ćmy “Frozen Memories”

Hip-hop/Soul, Jazz/acid/nu, ,

Ćmy is a Polish project created by Milton Waukee, better known as Yaro, and DJ George a.k.a. Jorge Saxon (Yaro’s long time music friend and co-worker). If You like Skalpel, You might also like them. Their music is a journey to a nu-jazz domain, with a cut’n paste chic. Full of nice details with a great sense of sound and rythm. Some of their music has a nice “Ninja Tune like vibe”, which I like a lot.
I recommend to visit the website of the project, where You can listen to all 3 of their albums.

 

Gus Gus “Over”

Electronica, Techno/Trance, ,

It is hard to say, that there is one Gus Gus. After “This is Normal” and big personal changes within the group, this seems to be  just another band. But I must say that, while first albums were definiely more sophistecated in terms of music and just…better, the electronic, more cold, trance edition of that band still has it’s charm. The synths, beats, lyrics are so simple, but somehow it’s so engaging, that I like it a lot.

This is a really nice track from their new album “Arabic Horse”.

 

Nujabes “Imaginary Folklore”

Hip-hop/Soul, ,

Recently I came across Nujabes – japanese hip-hop musician and producer. Propably for many hip-hop fans he is well known, but for me it is a great discovery. You defineitely should take a look on his works full of deep, slow beat, great samples and a proper flow. Lots of jazz inluences are also there.
Unfortunetely he died last year in a car accident in Tokyo. DJ Premiere was his fan. This means something ;-)

Here are his MySpace profile, Last.fm profile and label links.
