SHINY OBJECTS - INTERMITTENT SOUL

THE JAZZUAL SUSPECTS DEBUT ALBUM IS HERE

The Jazzual Suspects is a labor of love of musician/producer Charlie Tate, a man responsible for well-known Om-Records stalwarts King Kooba and Colossus. The love of the old school golden era of funky breaks, jazz and soul influenced hip-hop is obvious.

“In some respects, Mark Farina’s Mushroom Jazz series was the catalyst for this project” says Charlie. TJS have had at least one track featured on every MJ release since volume 5.

So sit back.. make yourself comfortable.. and get a load of this..

17 cuts inspired by bebop jazz, funk and rare groove...you’ll not be disappointed!

THE JAZZUAL SUSPECTS - POPPING KERNS

SINGLE #3 FROM THE JAZZUAL SUSPECTS

A dope combination of a classic be-bop era chord sequence, spaced out horn comps, sinister but lush string swells, pushed along by a break you wish you found on the flip side of an unknown release discovered on your best crate digging day ever! Popping Kerns is a tribute to the classic golden era of hip hop. It's an instrumental for headphone relief from the the daily grind. Perfect for instrumental mellow beats playlists, and anywhere classic jazz and soul mixes with hip hop.

The Jazzual Suspects, representing a back in the day Bay Area .. hard.
