See-I - The King 10" out now!

Bastard Jazz's first release of 2008 is a wikkid dubplate from Washington DC's See-I with a funked up Magic Fly remix on the flip strictly for dancefloor bizness. Hear sound clips and pick it up at Turntablelab HERE.

"The King" is See-I's first release on Bastard Jazz, fits exactly into the extrasensory dub sound that the label has had since its inception. The original "King" tune is a seriously heavy dub tune with its conscious lyrics and deep delayed out horn lines. On the flip, Bastard Jazz artist The Magic Fly flips "The King" on its head for an incredibly funky reggae workout with big bouncy drums and upfront guitar that sounds like it could've come straight out of the Randy's studio in the early 70s! Another dubwise Bastard Jazz platter inna that eclectic Brooklyn style!

Also out now: The Magic Fly - Champion Mushroom EP

The Champion Mushroom EP” is a romp of a record that truly captures what The Magic Fly sound is all about. Starting off things is Champion Mushroom, a monster dub-disco-breakbeat track that manages to source out original Jamaican deejay vocals and mash them into a hilarious Bill Hicks sample, all while keeping the dancefloor burning with it’s infectious bassline and driving beat. Following that up is Thinking Toy, a downtempo dub reggae cut that sounds like something the Upsetters could have cut in the early 70’s, with a retro futuristic vocal from a British documentary laid ontop of it....more...
