The Producer invites you to explore a realm where the past and present merge, creating a soundscape that is both nostalgic and refreshingly unique. It's a richly textured journey that combines jazz's improvisational spirit with house and deep-house influences.

Dusty is back with As Above So Below, a new vinyl EP on Jazz & Milk that delves into vibrant deep house grooves crafted through his beloved MPC, fusing soulful warmth with boundary-pushing sounds. This release is a heady blend, featuring the raw vocal power and percussive rhythms of Ghanaian artist King Owusu (Jembaa Groove), who has shared stages with legends like Ebo Taylor and Pat Thomas. Henrique Gomide, from Brazil's Caixa Cubo, brings a touch of jazz finesse on the Rhodes piano, adding to the EP's eclectic flavor. Rooted in the ancient wisdom of "As Above So Below," Dusty unites genres in ways that feel natural, as though these disparate sounds have always spoken the same language. It's an EP that blurs the lines - where jazz, dub, West African rhythms, and house intertwine, creating a sound that's as introspective as it is designed to make you move.

New London label Natural Element kicks things off with the debut release from Fremantle based producer Jon E. These 3 tracks showcase the producer’s innate flair for slick, sophisticated grooves that evoke the rawness of Detroit as well as the funk of London’s broken beat pioneers. The A side offering ‘New Ventures’ is a beautifully crafted piece of jazzed-up house with an infectious bassline and synths that subtly weave in and out to create a warm and uplifting energy, whilst ‘Sunflowers’ on the flip side is a no-nonsense jam with wonky drums, vibrant strings and a soaring synth solo reminiscent of Kaidi Tatham. ‘Where & When’ rounds off the EP with a bouncy, feel good groove featuring jazzy piano stabs and some vocal work from Aeasheiaa. Be sure to keep an eye out for more from this understated cat.
