BRAZILIAN SOUL-JAZZ TRIO CAIXA CUBO ENLIST A CAST OF GLOBAL VOICES ON NEW ALBUM "AGÔRA"

CAIXA CUBO - "DREAMS" FEAT. XÊNIA FRANÇA & ZÉ LEÔNIDAS

Pre-save 2nd single "Dreams" (out Feb 28)

taken from the upcoming album "Agôra"!

Funk fuelled and global pointing Brazilian jazz trio Caixa Cubo are set to release their latest single Dreams on Feb 28. It is the group's first foray into R'n'B melding the simple and sporadic instrumentation of drums, keys and bass into a Jill Scott inspired song that could have been born in Brooklyn yet sung by Brazilian singer and Grammy nominated Xênia França and Zé Leônidas, sung in both English and Portuguese. 

With shoots to black music culture, from Brazil to Ghana and South Africa, new album Agôra is sparkling with electric funk and Herbie Hancock eclecticism. It shines not only for its virtuosity but also for its minimalism, it's depth of space, and for the first time, it's ability to figure outside the jazz fold, as the trio from São Paulo decided to bring in singers and add a new aesthetic to their sound. Guests include Brazilians Xênia França and Zé Leônidas, Jembaa Groove's Ghanaian singer Eric Owusu and South African artists Bongani Givethanks & Mpho Nkuzo. It follows on from their 2020 hit album Angela released on Heavenly Recordings.

SAM IRL - DONAU EP OUT NOW!

Sam Irl delivers a jazz-tinged House EP via Cologne’s Jazz & Milk, entitled ‘Donau’ and comprising three originals from the Vienna, Austria based producer and DJ. 

The past decade has seen Bavaria born Vienna based artist Sam Irl deliver his signature soul infused twist on contemporary house via the likes of Jimpster’s Freerange, S3A’s Sampling As An Art, SlothBoogie, Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood and of course Jazz & Milk which has become a staple home for his productions since debuting on the label in 2012. Here Sam offers up the ‘Donau’ EP, the title of which references his growing up in rural Lower Bavaria as well living in Vienna for almost two decades, both of which are located on the Danube River. 

Opening the EP is ‘Music About Talking’, a five-minute dynamic house workout employing intricately intertwined keys, sweeping guitar chops, vocal cuts and air synth chords running atop jazzy, organic drums and a gritty bass hook. 

Title-cut ‘Donau’ follows and dives deeper into snaking bass licks, stuttering guitar plucks, ethereal piano lines and shuffled, low-slung drums. ‘Magic Hat’ then rounds out the release, deftly weaving together twinkling synth chimes, a playful, bouncy bass line and ethereal atmospherics while jazzy keys ebb and flow amongst a raw, crisp drum groove.
