Groove Terrierism- Deep Beats at The City Cafe

The wonderfully excellent Red Dog Music is throwing what is sure to be a wonderfully excellent night of tunes at the equally wonderfully excellent City Cafe in Edinburgh, from 7pm on Thursday 18th April. Full line up TBC, but I’ll be there spinning some deep grooves.

Get this one in your diary folks!

Where- The City Cafe, 19 Blair Street, Edinburgh

When- 7pm-12.30am, Thursday 18th April

Entry- Free

More details will undoubtedly follow!

Four Nights of Late Night Sounds

The plan:

“They say that deadlines focus the mind; foster creativity. Well, let’s see. I get home from work after 7, eat, do the chores that need doing, then it’s time for music. At 6.00 am the next morning, the alarm goes off and we start again.

For four nights in March 2013, I will try to start and finish a song each night and compile it as an EP. I might use this opportunity to head out of my usual style a bit, but there are sure to be some deeper grooves in there somewhere.

So, a few nights of little sleep, but hopefully four completed tracks, but expect some rough edges; let’s say that those are caused by all the soul. Catch you on the flip side…”

Two days into things so far, and two tracks up on Amazing Tunes, two more to go and still just about awake…

Looking for singer/poet/MC/chanteuse

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…

Grassmarket Jazz Release: Preview Stream

Release on Deep Nota exclusively on Traxsource on the 11th January, general release on the 25th.

Grassmarket Jazz- New Deep House EP Release on Deep Nota

Image

“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.

Deep is the New Sh*t

So, after a thought-provoking tweet from Edinburgh’s wonderful Cabaret Voltaire, I think this might be my tune of the year: Evren Ulusoy‘s ‘Deep is the New Sh*t‘.
