With seven releases - including this one - on Schema Records and three - considering also the Cosmorama project - on Milano 2000, Stefano Tirone has tightened his collaboration with the Edizioni Ishtar group. He is today one of the label’s most popular artists, with more than 300.000 monthly listeners and millions of plays of his acclaimed hits on Spotify – more than 3 million overall for his recent digital singles “Blow My Mind” and “No Meio Do Samba”.

His previous full-length Body & Soul shows influences from the early ’90s British acid jazz scene and his deep love for the ’70s soul, Brazilian and jazz music that constitute the basic foundations of S-Tone Inc. Here, instead of asking other artists to remix his tracks, Stefano has decided to do that himself, reworking in a nu-disco key the entire “Body & Soul” record, herein named “The Disco Experience”.

The title and the graphic layout take us to a period in time between late ’70s and early ’80s when the artist as a teenager, completely absorbed by the sound of disco music, used to go to clubs and discotheques to listen and dance to those unmistakable sonic frequencies. In those years the American DJ Larry Levan and the Italian Mozart and Baldelli used to play their music in front of crowded disco halls, while record labels such as Prelude and Solar set the standards with artists such as D-Train, Sharon Redd, Whispers, Shalamar and their soulful vocals combined to strong basslines, funky guitars and uptempo rhythms.

This is how “Body & Soul - The Disco Experience” was born, as a homage to the music that Stefano used to immerse in during those adventurous years, with a few exceptions: “No Meio Do Samba”, a tribute to the house sound of Frankie Knuckles in the early ’90s, and the two downbeat tracks “Flying Away”, with its essential R&B arrangement, and “Midnight Sun”, that keeps its cinematic mood but with a more funky attitude. “Odoya” is the only track remixed by The Invisible Session in a minimal spacey disco arrangement that fits perfectly with the overall sound of the album.

So What U Want will also come with a Lord Funk remix which sound a bit more electro funk to blast the dancefloor.This track is a radio killer and should be loved by many musiclovers including DJs, producers or simply people who like to listen to mainstream vocal house as French touch production. A bunch of samples and played instruments make it efficient and support the sweet voice of the singer Djemaïli.

Transversales Disques is very glad to announce the release of Nuits Blanches au Studio 116, unreleased rarities from Ariel Kalma’s personal archives recorded in the legendary GRM’s Studio 116 during the 70’s. Born and raised in Paris, Ariel Kalma started playing the recorder and saxophone as a youth. After successive studies of Computer Science, Music and Art in Paris he performed in various concerts from middle-age music to free jazz duo. Ariel performed and recorded with several bands (J. Higelin, R. Pinhas, NYL, G. Scornic, Baden Powell…). After learning circular breathing on soprano sax, Ariel could include those endless notes into his own long-delay-effect system, dual Revox set-up and two tape machines “chained” together to form a long delay system.In France during the mid-1970s, Kalma was staffed as a recording assistant at legendary Groupe de Recherches Musicales (INA GRM) studios, where Ariel recorded some of his compositions in the Studio 116; the same music “concrete” laboratory that spawned masterpieces by members Luc Ferrari, Bernard Parmegiani…
Run by two Tokyo based Frenchmen, Jazzy Couscous is a new label rooted in a love for Jazz and the urban movements it spawned, from House to Hip-Hop and everything in-between.House music nerd with a Hip-Hop background, Alixkun is the DJ of the crew. You can catch him playing numerous clubs around Tokyo and writing for Japanese house encyclopedia House Definitive. His journalism and highly regarded sets led him and the team to be invited on stage for Dommune, Japan's Boiler Room equivalent. Klodio, on the other hand, is an upcoming producer to keep an eye on in 2015. Soon to drop his debut release “Toktroit”, he pays tribute to some of his biggest musical influences, Detroit and Tokyo; combining a clear love and appreciation for the early UR House sound, with a fresh Tokyoite vibe that will take you on a full speed night drive through the neon highways. A versatile soul head, equally at home with House, Techno, Hip-Hop, and even Drum’n’Bass, Klodio knows no boundaries when it comes to expressing his deep Jazz infused roots.This year will see various projects in which Alixkun will express his soft spot for Japanese rare-grooves and Japanese House music. Also planned for release is a second EP of fine House music by another French producer, so stay tuned for more by Jazzy Couscous!
For some, it takes years to find their true calling...… It took Dal-Gren ten years to find his. Even if his first beats came flying out of his Playstation, he already knew exactly what direction he was moving in.MC and beatmaker extraordinaire, his musical culture bounces from jazz to rock, soul, funk, hip hop and electro. Passionate about his craft, he lives in tune with his machines, forgoing clichés and fashions to create his very own staple of moody and timeless hip hop… seemingly stemming from another planet, he's anything but an earthling.A word from the artist about Cut Basic…: "To me, Cut Basic marks a new era in which an unexplored side of the brain is slammed into, hence a strong sense of déjà vu… The music brings back hazy memories from a childhood that hasn't been completely deserted yet, it brings the basics flooding back … but where do those basics come from ?"
