Fred P - Resonant Connection

Resonant Connection

A Journey In Modern Electronic Music

This project was created somewhere between sunlight and memory… between the ocean breeze, late-night reflections, and the invisible emotional frequencies that connect us all.

Resonant Connection explores warmth as vibration — deep rhythmic communication designed for movement, intimacy, healing, and elevation. These recordings lean into sensual textures, glowing atmospheres, hypnotic percussion, and emotionally rich harmonics inspired by tropical nights, open skies, salt air, and human connection.

There is a romantic spirit throughout this work. Not romance in the obvious sense, but the kind found in energy exchange… eye contact across a dance floor, heat rising from concrete after sunset, conversations without words, bodies moving in rhythm under moonlight.

The music exists somewhere between deep house, ambient soul, late-night electronic jazz, and spiritual dance music. Built carefully with texture and space in mind, each piece unfolds slowly — allowing emotion, groove, and tone to breathe naturally.

This is music for warm evenings.

For long walks near water.
For driving through cities after midnight.
For moments of reflection and release.
For lovers.
For dreamers.

For those searching for deeper feeling within sound.
Written, produced, and arranged by Fred P.
Created with intention, soul, and love.

Brian Jackson - Now More Than Ever

'Collaboration is stimulating, it's in my blood.' Thus speaks Brian Jackson and his philosophy for making music and it's indeed collaboration that runs through this amazing album of reimagined and revisited songs from his artistic past. Featuring artists such as Black Thought, Rahsaan Patterson, Josh Milan, Moodymann, Omar, J. Ivy and others and being produced by Masters At Work, ‘Now More Than Ever’ takes the enduring classic tracks that Brian Jackson made with Gil Scott-Heron and places them in the now over nineteen tracks and across a triple vinyl LP, Double CD and digital release.

Songs such as Lady Day & John Coltrane, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, Home Is Where The Hatred Is, Winter In America, The Bottle and more soundtracked a generational movement of Black Consciousness in the 70s and 80s. As Brian says, 'This album is one way to connect to what we were about in the 70s; we were about change and this is part of the lineage of resistance. These tracks mark a period of time when resistance was essential and now a younger generation has picked them up.'

'As young men in their twenties, we (Brian and Gil) just wrote about what we saw and were feeling and people interpreted these songs in ways we never thought about but as Sly stone said the song comes from me but it's for you.' This statement from Brian perfectly sums up the collaborative nature of Now More Than Ever and the relevance of these songs in a contemporary perspective can be perfectly summed up by the songs themselves.

The formidable stable of artists contributing to each track and the excellent production from Louie Vega and Kenny 'Dope' Gonzalez make this album an event in itself. However, these songs are there to be enjoyed as a canon or as individual masterpieces, whether on the dancefloor or on a home system.

Available as a high res. digital release, Double CD and a Triple Vinyl LP ‘Now More Than Ever’ just has to be in everybody's music collection.

Valtteri Laurell & Ricky-Tick Big Band - Visions of Dilla

Finnish jazz producer Valtteri Laurell reworks some of J Dilla’s most iconic beats into adventurous big band versions.

With drummer/producer Teddy Rok (Teppo Mäkynen of Five Corners Quintet, Stance Bros. etc.), flutist extraordinaire Elena Pinderhughes and Laurell’s own 17-piece Ricky-Tick Big Band, he creates a big band album that you never thought you would hear.

Using the sparse and visionary beats of J Dilla as a starting point, Laurell has composed and arranged material on top of the original versions, performed by Ricky-Tick Big Band. ”My original idea was to write very abstract big band moments, that would be like samples Dilla might have used in his work. During the process though, on some of the tracks I started to feel more of a Bob James or Henry Mancini vibe in the arrangements, so the end result is a hybrid of those worlds. Naturally, the spirit of Gil Evans and the later work of Duke Ellington is also floating in the air".

To create a strong connection with the original material, Laurell asked Dilla-aficionado and drummer/producer Teppo ”Teddy Rok” Mäkynen to work with him on the rhythmic side of the pieces. Teddy Rok also mixed the album. As a special guest star, flutist Elena Pinderhughes is featured on Won’t Do and Rico Suave Bossa Nova. Ricky-Tick Big Band, which Laurell founded in 2010 is also well on display here, with rising baritone sax star Linda Fredriksson featured on Beej-n-Dem and trumpetist Jukka Eskola featured on Y’All Ain’t Ready.

Tracklist:
1. Y'All Ain't Ready
2. Won’t Do
3. Beej-n-Dem
4. Rico Suave Bossa Nova

Jalen Ngonda - Doctrine of Love

Since the release of his critically acclaimed debut full length, 2023’s Come Around and Love Me, Jalen’s career has undergone a meteoric trajectory.  Now, in 2026, with the embers of his debut still burning brightly, Jalen prepares to drop his eagerly awaited sophomore album, Doctrine of Love. His message: "The doctrine of love holds that every thought and action should be guided first by compassion for others, because love is the highest measure of human worth." The tracks on the forthcoming album are born from this creed.

Oliver Night - Between The Lines (Remixes, Vol. 2)

Following the first instalment of reworks from his acclaimed album Between The Lines, London-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Oliver Night returns with Between The Lines (Remixes), Vol. 2 - a fresh set of reinterpretations that deepen the album’s connection to the global broken beat and soulful club community.

Bringing together a cross-generational cast of producers, Vol. 2 features remixes from IG Culture, Matica, Inkswel and Marcel Vogel, each offering a distinct perspective while staying rooted in the rhythmic richness and musicality of the original record.

Opening the release, IG Culture - a pioneering force in West London’s broken beat movement - reworks “Friends” featuring KAYA FYAH. Known for his role in shaping the bruk sound through projects like New Sector Movements, IG Culture leans into the track’s percussive core, expanding its rhythmic complexity while preserving the warmth and spirit of the original.

Elsewhere, Liverpool-based producer Matica steps up with a remix of “Boss” featuring Roots Manuva. Built on the original’s broken beat backbone, Matica’s version pushes the track further into club territory, layering heavyweight drums and textured synth work around Roots’ unmistakable vocal. The original marked a significant moment for Oliver, reconnecting with one of his long-time heroes - a collaboration years in the making that serves as a reminder to stay true to oneself.

Elsewhere, Australian producer and DJ Inkswel delivers a vibrant rework of “Undefeated” featuring Goldbar. Bringing his signature blend of soulful house, hip-hop and boogie influences, Inkswel injects a new energy into the album’s opening statement, transforming it into a deep, groove-led club cut while retaining its uplifting essence.

Closing the collection, Marcel Vogel - the Amsterdam-based DJ, producer and founder of Lumberjacks in Hell - turns his attention to “We Are Love” featuring Megatronic. His remix amplifies the track’s future-disco sensibilities, reshaping it into a shimmering, dancefloor-ready anthem that builds on the original’s call to unity and release.

Instrumental versions round out the package, offering DJs and listeners further space to explore the project’s rhythmic detail.

VA - Kaiso Power: Sound Revolution in Trinidad 1970-1980

Kaiso Power is a collection of rare jazz, calypso and percussive gems from Trinidad and Tobago from the revolutionary generation of the 1970s, bringing radical new political vision and reclaiming ancient spiritual consciousness through music. At the dawn of the 70s a shift was taking place all around the world. The streets of Port of Spain thronged with Black Power marches, trade union demonstrations and Carnival protest bands - one epicentre in a growing global exchange of ideologies and strategies among Pan Africanist circles in Jamaica, Guyana, London, New York, Montreal, Lagos, Accra and beyond. And when the meetings were over, the revolution moved to the cramped secret dance halls, the Carnival fetes, the steelband yards. The music always had a sharp edge. Searing commentary has always been part of the various types of music in Trinidad, and in the absence of lyrics, the defiant use of the drum maintains the resistance, as well as the re-framing of the playing of European instruments to the needs of the message. Lancelot Layne, Delano Abdul Malik De Coteau, Andre Tanker, Clive Zanda, Mansa Musa were more than artists, they were teachers, community workers and advocates for justice. These recordings are as raw as an all-night Carnival jam, the horns loud, the percussion ringing out, the bass dripping with joy and rebellion. Under the modern influences is a solid rhythm, an unbroken connection to Africa, the songs and keys and cadences brought across the middle passage. These songs are a peep into the untapped treasures of a revolutionary generation, looking at the world with fresh eyes and believing that music was a central part of the mission to build consciousness and regain confidence.

Tracklist:
1. Clive Zanda - Ogun
2. Michael Boothman's Family Tree - Tabu
3. Lancelot Layne - Umbawa
4. Andre Tanker - River Come Down
5. Black Truth Rhythm Band - Save D Musician (2024 Remastered Edition)
6. Art de Coteau - Kerieka Woman
7. Mansa Musa - Beat The Drum
8. Sensational Roots - Calypso Zest
9. Frends - Mystery Music
10. Abdul Malik de Coteau - More Weight

VA - Soul Jazz Records Presents LONDON JAZZ CLASSICS

First time in print in over 30 years for this seminal jazz dance collection.

One-off limited edition orange coloured vinyl edition.

London Jazz Classics was the first album collection ever to be released on Soul Jazz Records back in 1993. The album brought together rare and obscure dance tracks in a unique mix of jazz dance and fusion, funk, Brazilian and Latin grooves.

The album was ironically titled - none of the music was from London, none of the music was traditionally classified as jazz, and all of the tracks were at the time practically unknown to most people. Instead these were tracks that were filling dancefloors in a nascent jazz dance scene in London being created by a small group of DJs – Paul Murphy, Gilles Peterson, Sylvester, Patrick Forge and a few others.

As demand for these rare groove jazz tracks grew, previously unknown records such as Alive’s ‘Skindo Le Le’, Doug Richardson’s ‘Salsa Mama’, Carlos Franzetti’s ‘Cocoa Funk’ and Emilio Santiago’s ‘Bananeira’ became sort after and even-harder-to-find items with original copies going for £100s of pounds.

These tracks became part of the soundtrack to this jazz dance scene which has now spread across the world. This music paved the way for the arrival of many of the UK’s new wave of current artists such Shabaka Hutchings, Nubya Garcia and Ezra Collective who today offer a uniquely London sensibility of fusing jazz with wide-ranging cultural influences – everything from afrobeat to soul.

London Jazz Classics was the first album to bring this jazz dance music featured here to a wider audience. More than 30 years since its initial release Soul Jazz Records are releasing this new 2026 edition, bringing the music once more to a new generation of listeners.

This album brings together tracks from across the 3 original London Jazz Classics albums.

Tracklist:
1. Alive! - Skindo Le Le
2. Emilio Santiago - Bananeira
3. Carlos Franzetti - Cocoa Funk
4. The Robin Jones Seven - Atlas
5. Airto Moreira - Jump
6. Antonio Adolfo - Cascavel
7. Hannibal - Mother’s Land
8. Doug Richardson - Salsa Mama
