contunuing from the last post, Another name that was thrown up in my facebook convo with Mr Nunes was...
#3 The UK duo Jazz Spastiks
...who released their compilation album 12 Bit Spit around August 2010. As a fan of jazz-sampled hip hop, their production style was right up my alley and filled the void my ears have been missing since A Tribe Called Quest split over a decade ago...
Fast forward to 2011 and I have to admin to being very late in discovering their music. From what I've read online in my quick 20mins research, besides these guys having talent, they also exhibit great work ethic - with collaborations with the recetly featured Junclassic, Penpusha, Selph Conscious and various other artists on their recent work...
If you don't already do, get to know Coconut Delight & Mr Manyana AKA Jazz Spastiks… in their words:
"Our influences are too many to mention but as far as hip hop is concerned our favourites would definitely include Dj Premier, J Dilla, Da Beatminerz, Pete Rock, Madlib, ATCQ, J-Swift and Godfather Don. We both listen to all types of music there’s dope music to be found in every genre and we are influenced by everything that we hear."
