TIRON & AYOMARI – A SUCKER FOR PUMPS

For those of you guys who remember TiRon’s MSTRD or Ayomari’s The PB&J Solution, their new project ‘A Sucker For Pumps’ is a clear example of how good these guys actually are – with more time and more work put into their product they’ve matured their sound in a way that I feel like some of their west coast associates have failed to do. Furthermore, with features from the likes of BJ The Chicago Kid, Thundercat, D.R.U.G.S., Yummy Bingham and more, this project is soon to be in rotation in a bunch of new spots where Tiron & Ayomari’s name haven’t rang out yet….mark my words!

I can’t believe I have done 13 of these compilations already! 13 is actually my lucky number, so it makes sense that this one is one of my favorites among the recent volumes I’ve put together.  Let’s get lucky together. All you have to do is give it a gander and let me know what you think! P.S., whenever I check the download count for these and see hundreds and hundreds, it really makes me smile. I’m glad you appreciate my musical aesthetic.  Tracks and links next door. Enjoy. Give me a shout and let me know what you think!

VIDEO: KARRIEM RIGGINS & THUNDERCAT “PROTO-COSMOS” IMPROV

At last year’s Suite For Ma Dukes, K. Riggins and Thundercat combine out of space & opportunity to cover legendary jazz drummer Tony Williams’ “Proto-Cosmos“. Spontaneous genius.

SHAFIQ HUSAYN EPKS 1+2: VIDEO

The first video hit the blogs some time ago but the latest  is now making its rounds.
