From the streets of Birmingham, via collaborations with names such as Jose James, Dizzee Rascal and ARCo supporter Gilles Peterson, to the studios of Derbyshire, Atjazz Record Company is proud to present our debut release from talented artist and remixer Ben Marc: Wait.

Giving us a taste of the style that fans have come to know from Ben we start with “Wait”, a tranquillising vocal note that resounds and reverberates over a layered and counterpointed percussive beat, dotted with elegant notes and snaps of melody.

Stepping further into Ben’s background as a fan of reggae & dub with “Safe Sounds”, a pressing hook slowly builds and we develop a deeper understanding of the intricate levels of production as the track unfolds in our ears and works it way through our senses.

We couldn’t let this release go by without giving it the full remix treatment and Atjazz duly obliges with the first effort which, in true style, pays homage to the original whilst putting a classic, rhythmic jazz-infused tint on proceedings.

Finally, prolific artist Si Tew arrives with his interpretation of the cut. In typical Si Tew style his dub is more pensive and deeper than the usual fare and it’s all the more impressive for it. With its light melodic notes and bursts of bass this is a perfect note on which to complete an exciting debut.

Yota One…

The first compilation from the Years Of The Abstract series features ten wonderful peices of music made by five very talented producers, Mizgir, Atjazz, Jonatan Backelie, Si Tew & Sygaire. Years Of The Abstract is a project based on modern music production with total respect of freedom for the writers involved.

A little about the artists & their creations on Yota One.

Beamed to us from another planet, Mizgir’s sound is more than a galactic space journey, as it is also very organic to the ear. With a nod to traditional Indian instruments seamlessly melding with amazing technical production accuracy “Surya” & “Ya-Rus” offer up layers of distant haunting vocal bites which breathe fresh air into what is becoming a claustrophobic musical scene.

Swerving to the side of his normal output, Atjazz has made up a musical soup of non-genre specific sound. Emptying his mind and letting the sound flow, “Khora” and “Khora Rhythm” set sail with analogue sequences utilising the amazing Korg Monopoly keyboard for a majority of the musical elements. Distant echoes of what has just been create a sound-scape that backs up some very interesting rhythm programming.

The multi talented instrumentalist, singer and beat-smith Jonatan Backelie takes a healthy side step from the centre with his amazing offerings, “Rave To The Bottom” & “StepTo The Bottom” immediately setting out their intentions of lighting up any well-seasoned dance-floor. These songs are really not for the faint hearted as Jonatan peppers the production with 8 bit synth swatches that are not afraid to sit right out front. The intense work put into these songs is obvious.

Strong and perfectly produced powerful downbeat music from Si Tew. “Cut” & “Run” have a very serious tone and while still glitchy in their build they never once loose control. These two songs are born from emotional difficulties and are very vibrant pieces of work. Si’s typically heavy music is of course backed up by some of his trademark sturdy beat-bones.

Roskow Kretschmann, or otherwise known as Sygaire, Intega and Kosma was one of the founding members and main producers of the world famous “Jazzanova“. His work on their “In-Between” album is something of a world wonder. This man is an amazing studio workman and incredibly humble to boot. “Dschumm” & “Dschumm (Enzo Elia Neukölln Boulevard Remix) are a testament to how much work studio producers put into their work, the detail and thought behind these 2 wonders is inspiring.

“A very talented young man from middle England with an unquenchable thirst for Electronic music!” Martin Iveson (Atjazz)

Following the success of the incredible ‘When The Clouds Ran Away” & “Need To Grow” we bring you this mashed bag of dirty street heavy remixes of the sultry album opener ‘Silhouette feat. Shanade’.

Featured remixers on this package bring some real damage, we’re ecstatic to announce the one and only ‘Zed Bias’ who has taken us back in time and re-introduced the “Smiley” as he shows no boundaries and drops us what is best described as a crossover electro-rave remix. Real old school breaks & bumpy basslines show no fear here! We are also very proud to bring you a wonderful speaker bursting dubstep drop by newcomer “Pruga P” a young producer from the midlands who is set to fy high. Mr Si Tew himself has revisited Silhouette and with a modern twist,your mind wanders as it follows this rolling remix. Full to the brim with emotion and depth, this single is a must for the heads.
