Nitai Hershkovits - "Robin"

So as I understand it, Wah Wah 45 is releasing Time Grove Roots as sort of a teaser for a forthcoming album from Time Grove. Roots gathers older material from the composite parts of Time Grove to give you a taste of what each member is capable of on their own in advance of hearing what they accomplish as a group. This all caught my eye because Amir Bresler and Sefi Zisling are included and the pair have been featured on RR and on my radio show in the past. Plus the details make mention of Rejoicer, a recent addition to the Stones Throw coterie and that's a label I always keep an ear on. The name I didn't know is pianist Nitai Hershkovits, who is credited as guiding Time Grove. Needless to say I was glad that the preview track is Hershkovits' "Robin" so I could get a sense of what their style is and it definitely fits the description of "forward thinking, melodic jazz meets electronic wizardry." Looking forward to hearing what all the players accomplish together.

Gabriel Garzón-Montano - "Crawl (Karriem Riggins Remix)"

I've been jonesing on Garzón-Montano's Jardin  and Riggins' Headnod Suite records separately, so it's no surprise that a remix of the former by the latter would resonate. There's more snap to the bounce of Riggins' percussion on this remix, which pairs nicely with the inherent syncopation of Garzón-Montano's vocals.

Play. Bounce. Repeat.

Mndsgn - "Camelblues" (Dungeon Sessions)

If you're not subscribed to Stones Throw on Youtube, the Dungeon Sessions featuring performances in their warehouse are something hype you're missing out on.

Homeboy Sandman - "Wade In The Water"

Wade on into this new Homeboy Sandman cut. Great, sparse production on this one.

Boardwalk - "Crying"

Loving the renaissance of dream-pop featuring women with beautiful voices. Self-titled record out on Stones Throw next week

Myron & E - "Cold Game" and "On Broadway

With any luck, I'm going to be interviewing these guys next week for TGIFR, but regardless of my luck, you're in luck if you haven't heard Myron & E before. These live takes are fantastic.

Myron & E - "Clap Sing"

Tell the world about it.

Jonwayne - "Passing Fancies"

Love me some Jonwayne, and it ain't no passing fancy. But his song is.

Krista - "Space Tom Test"

I have no idea why a collab between Vex Ruffin and James Pants ends up with the moniker "Krista" but whatevs valley girl, this jam is tight.

Chrome Canyon - "Memories of a Scientist (Matthewdavid rmx)"

This could either be on the soundtrack to Blade Runner or Miami Vice. Chrome Canyon - Memories of a Scientist (Matthewdavid Remix) by Stones Throw Records

Vex Ruffin - "Same Thing Tomorrow"

Halloween treat. Vex Ruffin - Same Thing Tomorrow by Stones Throw Records

Chrome Canyon - Elemental Themes

 Get it while it's hot.

Chrome Canyon - "Generations"

This feels like it could have been on the soundtrack to the original Tron, or maybe on one of those PBS science programs in the early 80s.

Bruce Haack - "National Anthem to the Moon (Stepkids Remix)"

No surprise that a song about the moon would be some spacey shit.

Mayer Hawthorne - Impressions (Covers EP)

Obscure covers + white boy soul = pre-Rapture dance party.
