Release Notes:
On January 14th, 2009, Bastard Jazz Records and
BrooklynRadio.Net will release a joint venture
compilation of eclectic grooves from Brooklyn
recording artists. Put together by Aaron Schultz,
a.k.a. DJ DRM (Bastard Jazz Recordings founder),
and Dan Martino, a.k.a. DJ Soulstatic
(BrooklynRadio.Net founder and program director),
the CD and digital download concentrates on the
many tasty sounding flavors soaked into the fabric
of small clubs around the BoroughÆs nightlife:
Latin, jazz, dub reggae, hip-hop, disco, Afro-beat,
house and funk.
Some of the sceneÆs most visible names have
contributed to the contents of the CD û including
popular soul outfit Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings
whose single ôHow Long Do I Have To Waitö is dipped
in dub by studio magician Victor ôTicklahö Axelrod,
alongside the retro-future funk of Menahan Street
BandÆs ôMake The Road By Walkingö (notably sampled
by Jay-Z for his hit single ôRoc Boysö).
Unaio Black, a new incarnation of the treasured
Brazilian Soul group that lay dormant for 25 years
returns with ôYeah Yeah Yeahö û worked out and re-
united by Brooklyn producers Daniel Collas and Sean
Marquand (the man behind the 10 years running
Brazilian Beat Brooklyn party and Mr. Bongo
compilation of the same name).
Wonderwheel Recordings, an offshoot label from the
legendary NYC party Turntables On the Hudson,
contribute two tracks: The groovy Latin hip-hop jam
ôBonitaö by New Orleans-cum-Brooklyn revivalists
The Pimps of Joytime and uptempo island funk of
Nickodemus on ôConmigoö with celebrated Puerto
Rican vocalist Sammy Ayala.
Brooklyn collides with funky Nigeria in the form of
Akoya Afrobeat Ensemble, a 13-piece dancefloor
orchestra who contribute the 13-minute long stomper
that is ôJeje LÆAiyeö, featuring the revered Cedric
ôIMö Brooks on sax, while relative newcomers The
Midnight Lab Band offer up ôRun Riotö û a heavy,
nearly psychedelic piece of Afro-Breaks previously
only available on 12ö vinyl.
Additional tracks and artists on the compilation
include the Puerto RicoÆ Captain Planet ûöSpeakinÆ
Nuyoricanö, DJ DRM û ôVidambana (Chico Mann
Remix)ö, Apenaut û ôWar Gamesö, Subatomic Sound
System û ôOur Father, Our Kingö and Chimp Beams û
ôLovely Chimpsö.
