Official Artwork – Telemakus The New Heritage

Northern Californian composer/pianist Telemakus’ long awaited LP ‘The New Heritage’ has finally arrived, and with it the artist takes a step into a new artistic beginning. Telemakus’ work has stemmed to highly creative composition and arrangement, generating a spirited album tackling the themes of exploration, wonder, and innocence. This album’s foundation lies at the intersection of jazz and hip hop, playing into the heritage of jazz-sampling artists who turned their hands to instruments, and discovered new musical dimensions and complexities. Fruiting from the year-long COVID-19 lockdown, the album was created virtually with musicians from 11 countries, with a focus on maintaining a live sound while exploring ideas the producer normally wouldn’t have considered.

‘The New Heritage’ represents Telemakus’ lineage growing up in the jazz scene, gigging locally in the Bay Area. Being a self-taught pianist, the artist has a unique gift for harmony which evidently translates into the LP’s tracks as a continuous flow of inspiration. Having found his own sound listening to the likes of Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, DJ Harrison, and Robert Glasper, Telemakus’ has developed a deeply personal style, as he likes to define it, “off-kilter and unique”.

Having written all the album’s instrumental parts, Telemakus joins forces with a host of incredible musicians to paint a series of stunning soundscapes. ‘Mars Blues’ (Released on 21st July) is the first single lifted from the LP witnessing the contribution of Chino Corvalán, Ted Taforo and Corydrums. This track documents the strong connection developed between the musicians, who the producer sees as “incredible people who sometimes mentored me and taught me a lot about how my music can sound”. The track explores an expressive sci-fi-esque sound palette, referencing Telemakus’ fascination for outer space and astronomy.

“Stoplight”, the second single from “The New Heritage”, showcases the artist’s more experimental side. Fusing mixed metered drum patterns with angular chord stabs, the track is a continuous journey where the melody continues throughout, but the repetition contrasts the improvisations throughout the song cyclically. Telemakus composed the track alongside producer & drummer bastrd, writing an arrangement that feels fresh and unique. After a childhood of listening to Dilla, Madlib, Glasper, and the modern hip hop/jazz greats, then starting his musical journey writing beats with an MPC, Telemakus seeks to further expand that off kilter beat focused sound by pairing it with the virtuosic sounds of the jazz funk greats like George Duke and Herbie Hancock. Fans of modern, beat focused jazz of artists like Kiefer, Rob Araujo and Anomalie will also find something they identify with in this track. Stoplight showcases Telemakus’s versatility as a producer and artist.

  • 🍊 @tendasenda provides a beautiful and stunning EP titled CALMA perfect for the start of the summer warmness that we’re all going through. The approach is pure calmness and a positive atmosphere. This release is the debut from Tenda Senda on the catalogue in collaboration with the homies over at @stzzyasfvck 

We’re seeing two songs being presented, which goes together very well but has their differences. He is truly talented in shaping different melodies in both CALMA and the previous projects that he’s been putting out. Sunday Ride starts out with this beautiful acoustic guitars that takes you away into a drift for a moment. Then the second approach titled Korali is just puring through with positive vibes from the melodic touch he’s added.

  • Always heat from @_waahiid_ - we recently put out his Gram Blends Vol. 1 with a ton of unreleased gems he has made during the year. 

In the article it is also mentioned about his upcoming works that
  • I have the great honor of presenting the new single made by the two producers & creators 🇫🇷 @odyssee_lc and @florent.gar . We have seen their collaborations in the past reach great success on the catalog and now we have the great pleasure of experiencing it again. The song is a blissful track made with such deep & atmospheric tones. It has the ability of taking you into an cinematic scene in both uplifting ways but also with a deeper thoughtfulness. ⁣
⁣
I am happy to see both of them trying out different styles & experimenting with their talents in this one and i am so greatful for you all showing love & support. Make sure to press the link in biography and stream the new song.
  • The first official NINETOFIVE® compilation titled House Blends with @kreatev @cupidonmusic @greyboxmusic and @gustav_gustav_gustav_ with photos by @notoriousfusick now available on all services. 

Read the full article about this gem on the website. We are super excited for this & hope you will vibe to it. 💯🔥
  • 📟 This Friday, got a bit of a surprise project being released. An amazing lineup of uptempo beats on the catalog branded under the Ninetofive® which is the first time we are doing this. 

The project is in collaboration with the talented photographer @notoriousfusick 🇺🇸 from Los Angeles to bring the best vibes possible on this. I truly hope you
  • It is now two years since we saw @_waahiid_ project ‘Waahiids Deli‘ come to life and being released. The very talented producer originally from Spain but located in the states (Los Angeles) has decided to share some of his work process and his inspiration through the years.

The project is a glimse of what he’s been working on and we are seeing his official project come to life during the end of this year. Waahiid is one of the few producers with such unique sound and in his own lane. The moods he can create in these are just stunning, blending happy notes with grimey ones to total perfection. His love for small addition of rap & RnB doesn’t go unnoticed as well.

I spoke a bit with Waahiid about the approach and his vision – This is what he had to say himself about the Gram Blends – Here is the first of a series of compilations I’m putting together before my new album is out. “Waahiid Gram Blends” is a collection of tracks and visuals that I have shared and removed from instagram over the years. Our art deserves a longer lifespan than what is provided by the instant consumption of content going on these days

I do personally agree with Waahiid in terms of how much work people are putting in towards social media (when it comes to art) and music. For stories and such then it just disappears into a pool of “expired” material that noone looks at more. It’s a good observation to now re-use his material and giving it new life for listeners that has not seen his creations. 

Make sure to follow him on his journey and swipe left to hear the preview of the Gram Blends mix or visit the website for the official video on youtube. Photo by @monsrock
  • We are seeing three absolute gems produced and made by the very talented @n.kmusic - We start of with the song Okythoos which takes you away for a smooth ride & journey which sets the note for his project 1998. Slow but still very uplifting tones with jazzy influences which brings your mood up instantly after you press play. 

Second track titled Neph has that iconic lo-fi feel to it but he still manages to take elements from the first track to involve the jazzy vibe. NK Music successfully takes us for a journey and it’s the same for the third and last song in this beautiful EP – Laestry. He truly has an ear how to wrap up songs together in a great release and they don’t drift away into any other approach than what he had in mind. 

The release can now be found on all streaming services. In collaboration with @stzzyasfvck 💯👑
  • 🔥 We are back with another beautiful set and video made possible by the great @vince_navv & @divinesun_ A full 35 minute set carefully selected for your chill listening sessions.
