Revolution … it’s Friday Calling.
I’m beginning my weekend late at night on Wedenesday, but I have an strong feeling the weekend is near.
I’m listening to Herbie Hancock as I write another article and thinking about a song to play here now. This is the first one supported only by our disclaimer: Herbie Hancock, funky. Here are the first [...]
Dorian Concept: When Music Moves Forward
Today Dorian Concept guided a master class to show the technique he uses to create his music. The meeting was interesting and he certainly created expectations for the gig organized by Free the Wax tonight at The Shelter. One thing that I admire about electronic musicians is the freedom they feel from the technique of instrumental music
Irresistable Jazz from Norway: Helge Lien Trio’s New Album
Helge Lien Trio released their new album Hello Troll at the end of January. Helge Lien is on piano, Knut Aalefjær on drums, and Frode Berg on bass.

“Exotic Wall Burger” Delivered Right to Your Door by Alec Haavik Friction Five
阿雷克磨擦乐队亲自送上“神秘的墙壁汉堡”
“夜上海”是阿雷克磨擦乐队０８年出的专辑。我们在此播放其中的第三首曲，名为“神秘的墙壁汉堡”，为庆祝Layabozi新成立的专栏。有关于这首曲目阿雷克这样解释道： “想象一家提供所有你理想食物的餐厅，从食物加工到放入你的盘中，都是来自于墙壁。在舞台上，一位饥饿的年轻管乐器表演者把一张声音“神奇墙纸”贴在墙上。 他像是在等待墙壁给他制作的汉堡吗？或许这首曲子的意境根本就没法描述！”
Ye Shanghai is the 2008 album by Alec Haavik Friction Five and we are playing the third song, “Exotic Wall Burger”, for the inauguration of this new section of Layabozi.
In the liner notes Alec explains the track like this: “Imagine a restaurant where any food you dream of will materialize, from the walls, [...]
Chick Corea & Hiromi “Duet” One Day Freebie

Originally released in Japan back in 2007, it became the top selling record of that year. Today only you can hear the first half of the double album. It includes originals from both Corea and [...]
Soil & “Pimp” Sessions Pimping at the BBC
These six guys from Japan are crazy fun jazz/funk cats. The BBC just reviewed their last album Planet Pimp, which is a “full on death jazz attack,” as Soil & Pimp accurately described it themselves. It’s not a very new release (it has been out there since August 2008), but we are betting it’s new [...]
