After really enjoying my -albeit brief- live set of more jazzy, downtempo, beat-poetry electronica this week, I’d like to spend some more time with this style and get a project underway. If you are or know anyone in the Edinburgh area who has something to say and can say it in a cool and hip-cat way and you think Monday’s sound has potential, get in touch through Facebook or Twitter. It would be nice to get a few regular gigs going…

Live downtempo set at The Skylark
Published January 9, 2013 Audio Technology , Chillout , Downtempo , Live Music , Live Set , Live sound , Music Leave a CommentI’ve missed playing live live. I love playing dj sets, but sometimes I’ve missed playing a bit more free and easy. So, I chanced a recent open mic night at The Skylark, a fantastic cafe/bar, recently and played (almost, there has been a bit of editing and a new intro- forgot to record the real one) this downtempo, trip hop-inspired set with some great beat poetry from the masters over the top of it.
Stick it on in the background late one night get your feet up with your drink of choice and I hope you enjoy. I think I might spend a bit more time on this style of music in the future and try and structure the next set with a few more actual ‘songs’. We’ll see how it goes…

Grassmarket Jazz- New Deep House EP Release on Deep Nota

“Fynn Callum’s latest release on Deep Nota maintains his reputation for jazz-infused deep house grooves. These two tracks are at that perfect foot-tapping and head-nodding tempo that fits that late-night bar vibe, keeping the hipsters and the jazzers happy.
In the opening track, Grassmarket Jazz, floating electric piano chords provide the foundation for the jazz guitar and horn section, with that old-school jazz sound remembered with those familiar upright bass sounds. The second track, Decision Waiting, takes things a little bit more late-night, driven by a growling house-organ bass and a heavier groove, tempered by a delicious soulful vocal and smooth trumpet line.
This latest release from Edinburgh’s Fynn Callum takes us back to the soulful, jazzy roots of deep house.”
Grassmarket Jazz is released exclusively on Traxsource on 11th January 2013 and is on general release on your outlet of choice from January the 25th.
