KAMM - Let The Light In
LA's Elbow Grease label takes a sharp left turn from dance floor-finessing singles to their first full-length release via the elusive yet illustrious band KAMM, who return in extra fine form for their third and presumably final album offering, following the sudden tragic death of core member Alland Byallo last year. Surviving bandmates Marc Barrite aka Dave Aju, Kenneth Scott, and Marc Smith chose the inspirational higher ground, finishing off what they had begun with Byallo prior to his passing, resulting in this sublime musical love letter of an LP. In keeping with the band’s broad influence canon, we are treated to a blend of sonic flavors from across the genre spectrum with Barrite and Byallo’s jazz upbringings ringing true at the center, then branching out through golden era hip-hop feels, phased-out psych funk, warm smokey soul, and of course generous helpings of intricate electronic layers and innovative treatments, as all band members have become notorious for in their respective solo bodies of work. While highly personal by nature, including otherworldly cover art based on Byallo's last paintings, the musical content contained on the album is also widely universal - from opener “Crystalline Dreams” serpentine tones turned slo-mo funk bomb, to the triptych Bossa boom-bap of “No Deal”, the timely political calls of uptempo jazz burner “Your Honor”, the intimate upright-led tribute tales of “Angels Flight”, to the sleek electro rhythm changes of mid-set breather “How Long?”, a deeply felt take on our mobile-reliant fate in “S.I.M.”, the expansively expressive depth of “Coordinates”, then closing it out with the title track featuring a grand finale chorus of Byallo’s best friends and fam from around the world joining in the “Let The Light In” chant, with as much uplifting intention as possible to capture on record. A loving collective embrace and very welcome reminder to help lighten these darker days

Dave Aju & The Invisible Art Trio - B2: Next 2 You (Reprise)
Repress! Coming in blazing-hot off the heels of their very welcome reunion set for the recent Glossolalia LP, Dave Aju & The Invisible Art Trio are apparently out for no mercy here on their potent Elbow Grease debut for the label’s third offering. “Next 2 You” was a deep jam session-based composition started overseas some 8+ years back in an earlier incarnation, with the raw-edged flavors and voodoo feels of the OG underground era and has now been unearthed and blessed for pure dancefloor detonation by the everelusive LA-based musical squad. The A-side Original Mix is yet again an extended multi-layered sonic voyage of driving vibe-led hypnosis, loaded with rising modal chants, fiery free jazz horns, otherworldly percussion literally orbiting around a solid throbbing 909 framework, and grinding lowend funk pulsations via a sub-octave 303 acid line woven in at the core of the piece. The generous EG release recipe also gives us the lethally mixable, wetted-up, and straight to the percussive point B1 Stripped Dub version, as well as an endlessly unfolding beatless Reprise on the B2 primed for any DJ set moment in need of mesmerizing impactful bliss on the flip. The trio states this work was inspired by various concepts from the sci-fi futurism of VanderMeer’s Annhilation, field research on ancient Incan rituals, and of course the cosmic lineage of core spiritual jazz astral travelers such as our recently earth-departed Pharoah, along with respectful nods to the master teachers from the D. “Next 2 You” indeed.

Dave Aju - B2: Spacio Tempo (Domingo Dub)
Following the sublime smash debut "X17", LA-based label Elbow Grease head conductor Dave Aju continues on his righteous piece-by-piece journey toward a multi-genre multiverse, where deep musical roots come together in kaleidoscopic expression, and unfakeable funk reigns supreme. "Spacio Tempo" picks up where we last left off, though with a notable drop in bpm as the title implies, with a rolling 4/4 textural tapestry that combines pulsating layers of soulful synth work, effervescent live percussion, and heavenly strings into a dense yet open-as-the-night-sky extended gem yet again. Just as the machine patterns of near-equator rhythms bubble over and begin to lock into a hypnotic groove, a bold left turn into a dank latin jazz noir vibraphone solo and SH-101 duet tango ensues, before landing us safely back at home base - right on time, at its own spacial pace. As per the Elbow Grease release recipe so far, the B1 cut offers DJs a more driving flex, this time in the form of the "Acido Tempo Mix": a raw 303-driven take on the original which will undoubtedly stomp its way fiercely thru many bass bins in sweaty basements and warehouses worldwide. Finally the B2 blessing "Domingo Dub" closes things out, removing all but the highest vibes as an ambient drifting and uplifting take on the main theme, where the faintest of vocal tones, space echoes, and light percussive touches leave us elated in a West Coast, with subtle splashes from the D, sunset dream. Another solid single turned three-tracker sure-shot from EG.

Dave Aju - Viiibe
West Coast mainstay maverick Dave Aju launches his anticipated new label Elbow Grease with this timelessly sublime dance floor trip, dripping with outer space soul and deep ocean floor sonics. "X17", a reference to the hypothetical particle and Fifth Force discovery, is equal parts warm and cold, ruff and smooth, as a raw Detroit Electro-schooled rhythm base plows through various known musical barriers, adorned with worldly percussion hits, moving synth pads, and subtle jazz motifs. The generously unfolding "Main Mix" is accompanied by both a potent "Rhythm Dub" stripped back for maximum impact, and a beatless high "Viiibe" version offering a more immersive listen and alternative options for adventurous DJs to mix as they feel - a fine intro to the Elbow Grease credo.
