Blueprint
First ever compilation bringing together all the biggest names in the thriving
Helsinki club jazz & soul scene, all the way from established acts like Five
Corners Quintet, Quintessence and Teddy Rok Seven to celebrated producers like
Dharma One (of ôBelongö fame), Jori Hulkkonen and Infekto.
The album also introduces vocal talents of Nicole Willis and Katriina. The vinyl
EP features 3 exclusive new tracks, and out of the 12 tracks featured on the CD,
all but four are new to digital formats.
HOT AS HEL! is nine2five's CD compilation of Helsinki's dancefloor jazz and
nu-soul circles' brightest names. This EP release features three tracks from the
compilation.
Present Sense feat. Tuomo: "Nature Girl" - After releases for Italy's Archive
records among others, Present Sense have been building up their production
catalogue and have also evolved into a 6 piece live band going places at the
moment! On "Nature Girl" broken beats and sweet harmonies meet vocalist Tuomo
who's a producer and musician in his own right û being the leading force behind
the Gilles Peterson favourites The Quintessence.
Katriina: "Spared Your Kiss" (DharmaOne Production) - A great voice, a great
track and classic soul/r&b production courtesy of DharmaOne...what else could
you need? Following in the footsteps of her mother, the modelûturnedûsinger
Katriina writes her own lyrics and is heavily involved in the songwriting
process as well. Dharma One doesn't need introduction - after the runaway
success of ôBelongö heÆs now sharing his time between Manchester's Phuture
Lounge collective and homebase Helsinki. Look out for more material from the
Katriina & Dharmaone collaboration in near future !
J-City: "All You Give" - Juha Tuukkanen and Terhi Koivisto met in Helsinki and
gathered their experiences, influences
and musical ideas for quite some time. Juha discovered electronic music at the
age of 12, collaborating and networking with the northern electronic scene and
has since been releasing records throughout Europe. Sessions with Terhi started
to bear fruit last year, with a diversity of moods and styles merged by
brilliant acoustic jazz, sweet electronics and an amazing voice. Now ready to
launch 2 projects, the deep down Spyritual has been signed to Kitty Yo with an
album forthcoming this fall, while nine2five has the privilidge to present the
more dancefloor friendly J-City output.
