Scallymatic
Orchestra is an 8-strong jazz group, founded in 2000. They play a fresh
mix of groove jazz and funky fusion. Their sound sometimes hints at the
70s, the decade in which the band members grew up, but it is at the same
time very modern. With catchy grooves, cool themes, enough room for improvisation
and a good dose of suspense, the band is able to convince both a club
crowd as the discerning listener. Scallymatic Orchestra plays original
composition by guitarist/bandleader Mathijs Duringhof. This is their first
official release. An accelerating, soothin’n groovin’ jazz-tune
that will please musical ears over and over again.
Buruman is
a new name to watch out for. Although this is his first release, it is
not his first accomplishment in the field. He’s been working with
Mocky and the Zephon’s Mom label, and he was also the man behind
the mixing desk of Rednose Distrikt clubhit ‘Make a Move’
featuring Alma Horton. Watch out for this little guy on Flyin’ High…
MFPCollective
started as a DJ collective some time ago and just founded Flyin’
High Records. This is their first release as remixers. More will follow
soon (for Cosmic Sounds a.o.).
Rednose Distrikt
hardly needs introduction, as their releases on Humhum, Zephons Mom and
Rushhour have been praised and played by the likes of Jazzanova, Michael
Rutten, Kyoto Jazz Massive, DJ Spinna, Domu and others. This remix of
Scallymatic Orchestra is in their typical jazz not jazz hiphop style,
conceived after listening to the original for ten times in a row. Lo-fi
beats for the future.
