DJ Sotofett
Jazpuu JAZZPUU12

Jazzpuu presents two DJ Sotofett edits & dubs of previously released Finnish recordings from the mid-70's. A-side hails towards the classic fusion sound of B-Boy culture with uplifting organ grooves & big-city-night horns. The B-side Dub Mix turns the original horns into ghost sounds and favours the Drum & Bass elements – with a full instrument release after a frenetic break towards the end.

Duke Hugh
Rhythm Section International RS016

Bradley from RS met Duke Hugh in Amsterdam, when he handed him a green USB stick after a show. He played the promos in the empty club and the first track immediately grabbed his attention - he knew it was something special. When he remembered the hook to Green Leaf the next morning he signed the release almost instantly. Flirting with aspects of broken beat, Jazz, hip hop and dreamy electronica - Duke Hugh winds together a most idiosyncratic release equally at home on the peak time dancefloor as it would be for a long road trip. This flows really nicely , all joints!
