“Wandering Constellations” is basically a trip throughout the music of the seventies. Jacek Furtak has skillfully mixed broadly-defined Polish jazz and funk music along with different sounds coming from various places on the map of Europe. The mix is also enriched with some new tracks from labels such as Strut or Now-Again. Let us take a look at the author himself: Joteff is a promoter, record collector and a DJ, previously co-responsible for Basmentalism Poland project. He’s been publishing in magazines such as Klan Magazyn, Hiro, Hip Hop Magazyn, Polska The Times. Once having his broadcast in Warsaw’s Jazz Radio, now he’s engaged in a sociomusical project called Jazzmentalism. Here’s a short manual from Jacek: “I suggest taking a seat in a comfy armchair, along with a bottle of red wine, and listen…” The mix was recorded with the use of analogue records exclusively. Moreover, it is available in a form of a nicely packed, 50 copies limited CD. The cover art was created by Radek Drutis known for his cooperation with Stones Throw Records. footprints-jazz.blogspot.com Footprints on GNs.

This is a collection of songs that were written before, during and after the making of Along Came The Devil One Night... and just never fitted any release. Some are tracks where the files were lost and couldn't be retrieved and so I gave up on them. Either way, they are tracks I loved and wanted to share even if they didn't make it onto a full release. I hope you will enjoy them and check out some of my other music. scrimshire.bandcamp.com Scrimshire's website.

In time, for the last days of summer, we give you our third EP in the Polish Edits Series. The man behind the release is Invent, a young polish producer and dj who has his roots in the polish hip hop scene but lately made a turn to 4×4 electronic music. He made two short edits of two classic polish cut’s by the one and only Czesław Niemen & jazz/funk composer Witold Szczurek. Definetly proper dj tools to keep the crowd dancing.
