Virtual Crate Digging: Latin Jazz
One sub-genre of jazz that brings an undeniable energy that makes any environment feel alive. Latin Jazz (ACPM-007) delivers that energy with live performances in the studio and sits the listener square in a dimly lit booth of a smoky mid-century club.
Lo-Fi Beats
More present than ambient, more free than chill-hop, more jazzy than funky, taking elements of each to find the distinctly warm, floating sound of Lo-Fi Beats.
Artist Watch: Kase + Klassik
Live at The Opera House is an intimate record that feels less like you’re in a gorgeous auditorium and more like this collaboration of top talent from Milwaukee’s robust jazz and hip-hop scenes are playing live in your living room.
Sidecar Noir
Featuring live improvised sonic explorations that push the boundaries of jazz and hip hop, Sidecar Noir (3ING-075) is a potent cocktail that’s good for what ails you.
Vinyl Vibes
The newest release from Analog Champion takes a trip back in time to revive some seriously smooth vibraphone jazz.
