Theo Parrish – What You Gonna Ask For

I’ve been a little obsessed with this song, without actually knowing what it is, for something like 18 months now.  Theo played it a long time ago on a guest mix he did for NTS without actually mentioning what it was.  I spent alot of time trying to find out who was behind it, Shazam, asking random people on facebook, scouring endless soulful house releases, hoping to stumble across it.  I think it was the Dego mix he played, as it didn’t sound quite so obviously a Theo production as it does when I listen now.  I’m very happy to see this finally coming out, so I can play it on loop to my hearts content, and I will.  It’s great to also learn that it’s a collaboration with a number of members of the currently super hot Melbourne jazz soul scene.  Featured on the track are as follows…

Lori (Laura Christoforidis) – Vocals
Silentjay (Alejandro Abapo) – Saxophone
Simon Mavin – Keys
Perrin Moss – Drums
Paul Bender – Bass

Snail’s Pace

An album of downtempo treats from the Futurepastzine family, err yes please.  The label has been consistently putting out great and interesting music from like minded friends for some years now.  The output is mostly in a club ready, bass heavy kind of vein so this release is something of a curveball.  I played a couple of highlights on the latest show which you might have heard, but the whole package is worthy of your attention.  All for three and a half quid too, can’t go wrong in my opinion.

DayKoda – All Of Me

If you listened to our latest show you must have noticed a totally out there piece of future jazz business from DayKoda.  The whole album is absolutely nuts, in a good way of course.  There’s a sweet Reginald Omas Mamode IV remix on there as well if it all gets a bit too much for you.  Check the whole thing at the link above👆

 

The latest show for NOODS is up for streaming

The latest show is now up on the Mixcloud, featuring these ace tunes.  I was definitely on a mellow one, barely getting past the headnod zone.  However, there was so much great new music in that mode, that I just had to dedicate the whole hour to that vibe.  Particular mentions to the great new Snailpace comp on Futurepastzine of which we played a couple; the sick new release from DayKoda and that wicked emanative dub.  Full tracklist below as mixcloud is a bit weird on that tip these days?!

Ben Tankard – Eden Celebration

I came across this track thanks to an ace Spotify playlist put together by Steven Julien aka Funkineven. I assumed I was listening to something recent, maybe an Apron related artist. Turns out I was completely wrong, the track turns out to be from the 90s by a musician usually known for Gospel music. The track is the final tune on his mostly instrumental All Keyed Up album. The rest of the album is a little bit too much of a smooth elevator vibe for my ears, but this cut is something else.
