I’m very pleased to announce the latest Jellyfish release is a banger… Elekwent Folk producer/beat-maker AstroLogical has teamed up yet again with Nick Wisdom to drop some dreamy instrumental hip hop on your ass… This is just the beginning of a very strong year for Jellyfish Recordings… so… hold tight!

“Mellowtunes is the latest collection of instrumentals from the Vancouver production duo Potatohead People, known separately as Nick Wisdom and AstroLogical. The album is composed of laid back grooves, lush sampled textures, Fender rhodes, live guitar and synth lines, deftly mixed for an overall smoothed out vibe. Look out for full length albums from both these artists in the near future.” credits released 24 April 2012

Yasiin Bey, dead prez and Mike Flo have joined forces to record one hell of aTrayvon Martin tribute over NaS‘ “Made You Look” beat–titled “Made You Die.” What we get here is a sneak preview with some behind-the-scenes documentary footage of the in-studio recording process in New Orelans and interview with Yasiin and m1. To paraphrase m1?s statement, this powerful track–even when its on background–speaks for itself. Forcefully. But even so, some of the things they say I think are worth putting down here… (read more…)

Armando Hernandez — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 22:24:06 +0000

Today, BadBadNotGood Released their NEW full-length LP for all of you hungry jazz-fusion heads to listen to. Entitled “BBNG2″, this album is exactly as stated on the back-side of their art…

“Eleven Songs
Sixty-one minutes
Twenty-six seconds”

This is a real treat to listen to and although this Toronto band has been recently known for their covers of Odd Future, ATCQ, Doom, Flying Lotus and others, they still make it crystal clear that they stand completely on their own as one fucking amazing young canadian jazz-trio. Word is they may be collaborating with Earl & Frank Ocean during a set at Coachella… hush hush.

…and uhh… did we mention the album is free?

Go get it.
