BON006 OUT NOW ON 12" VINYL AND DIGITAL

The Creative Swing Alliance consist of the 2 producers Pablo Valentino and Steven-J. Pablo is responsible for the Faces Records label & his recent subdivision called Motor City Drum Ensemble. Steven-J released records on Compost Records, Soultronik & Jazzmin and played double bass for the japanese jazz band “Sleepwalker”. They both come from the city of Strasbourg FR, shared turntables & droped parties for more than 10 years together.

The concept for the CSA Project was very simple: They locked themselves for one week in Pablo's attic to work 7 days on 7 tracks all named after the days of the week. Bonzzaj Records selected for this 12" their 3 favourite tracks:

On “Monday” Pablo and Steven-J created a heavy opener for their project. Bumpy they riding their MPC with a deep diving bass and wonderful synths. Simbad turned the original “Monday” into a heavyweight soulful dancefloor filler mashed with good old West-London Broken Beats. An essential DJ weapon!

Naturally within the week you can hear some different moods while other friends/artists where passing in the studio...for example on "Thursday", when Kira Neris joined the Alliance to create a spaced-out and captivating disco journey with a wonderful soul sample.

Last but not least, “Saturday”: dusty old jazz records and beat generation hip hop for the b-boys and b-girls! RAW! Strong stuff for fans of Bullion, Onra, the Linkwood Family, etc!

Limited edition...so you better watch out!

Jagged - Chicago by bonzzaj recordings

BON005 out now!

Aftertheir great debut “Motzbaz/Indeed” on AFAO Recordings and the following12inches “hello kool nice” and “Langenthal EP” on QuintessentialsRecordings, which found its way into the bags and charts of DJs likeQuarion, Laurent Garnier, Jimpster and many more, JAGGED strikes backwith a 12” on Bonzzaj Recordings. This single also contains a hot remixby the dutch multi-talented man Aardvarck, one half of the RednoseDistrict. Jagged’s productions are restrained and minimal in the rightway - they doesn’t let things get overloaded. They focuses mainly onstraight beats and functional house music but always with the rightingredient of soul and rawness. The title track “Ten to twelve” is aheavy cut with a lot of disco influences, funky basslines, coolhouse-grooves and surprising changes all over the track. The Remix of“Ten to Twelve” comes from Aardvarck, who releases on Rushhour, KindredSpirits and Delsin. He transformed the original in an broken beatstomper, which sounds like it emerged straight out of Londons Co-Op.The B-Side contains “Chicago", a deep house number with forward goingpercussions, warm strings, oldscool-house-vocals and a slight acidflavour and last but not least the track “An orange drippin”, whichtakes you with it’s deep synth, percussions, basslines, bells andthings in the deeper Shades of…Jagged Nation. Hot shit – Gesundheit!

BON004 out in the stores!

Bonzzaj Recordings & A Few Among Others Records started off with their first 7” a few months ago and kept the formula also this time pretty simple....quality music and limited edition.
SIDE HUSTLE is a Hip-Hop project that started via the "virtual" meeting of producer „Ianeq“ and rapper „Thaddeus Clark“ through e-mail. Working solely via the internet, the two pro musicians
exchanged files, mp3's and waves over the Atlantic for two years. „Second Intro“ has a definite flavor of their own, thanks to modern production techniques inherited from Ianeq's House and Techno alter ego, Quarion. The result is fresh and exciting, although one could notice a certain melancholy in the music. This is probably what inspired Thaddeus Clark to focus his lyrics on childhood and teenage memories: the Oakland region (which he originates from), School, first love emotions, the discovery and passion for Old-School Hip-Hop…all these themes are the cornerstones of SIDE HUSTLE and give a very strong identity to the project.
The B-Side which could be definitely also an A-Side features once again Bonzzaj’s warhorse and multi-instrumentalist André Seiler aka NEMOY. Even though „Flywheel“ is a combination of danceable beats with a rich african musical content. Made with the dancefloor in mind, Nemoy's horn section and percussion blaze into gear after a noisy short intro and the track never lets up. This nasty B-side from this one-man-afrobeat-band sounds amazing on either iPod or in the club.
