New Grooves — Recently Added  

The amazing second album from Deep Jazz – and every bit as spiritual and soulful as the first! These guys really blew us away with their debut, and we're loving them even more this time around – and can honestly say that they're one of the few contemporary combos to ever get our ...

One of the best of the later volumes of the Totally Wired series, and a great mix of UK acid jazz tracks from the early 90s' and classic soul and funk from the 70's. Tracks include "Couldn't Take The Missing You" by Jessica Lauren, "In Deep" by Red Snapper, "Indian Rope ...

Killer jazzy grooves from the bourgeoning French jazz house scene! St Germain take a Blue Note 70s sound as their base – with lots of sweet Hammond riffs, mellow Fender Rhodes licks, funky flute lines, and spacey percussion – then they add in some tight soulful house rhythms, with a ...

While Rae & Christian have generally steered towards the hip hop end of Grand Central's releases, they've always reached a little further,and this effort is a fine modern fusion of hip hop beats, modern soul and some nice jazzy touches. A few numbers have a laidback downtempo vibe,but there's ...

The start of a legend – and a key compilation to document the rich reworkings of Brazilian sounds in the 90s global scene! The collection is the first in the legendary series – and has a wider range than some of the others – as Schema moves past just their own recordings, and ...

A really banging little debut from this up-and-coming producer – a set that bristles with all the raw roots we loved in the early days of the Chicago house scene, with a nice dose of the darkness that often crept into the Windy City via the world of import singles! The feel here is somewhere ...

Diverse post-dubstep sprawl from Zed Bias – stuttering, furiously-paced beatcraft that covers dubstep, broken beat, clubby funk, disco and all kinds of modern, floorshaking inspirations – albeit with Zed's unique feel and personal stamp. Guests include Serocee, Dynamite MC, Jenna G, ...

A timeless hip hop soul ode to the Civil Rights struggle from Marc Mac of 4 Hero! Extend The Knowledge is a 2CD set that serves a beautiful tribute to the movement – with spoken bits pulled from a range of classic records of the 60s and 70s, all set to beats and keys by the mighty Marc Mac! ...

A great project from Josh Milan of the legendary combo Blaze – a group that so perfectly brought a genuine depth of soulful songwriting integrity to the dancefloor scene from the mid 80s house era onward – and Milan carries on that tradition with the debut of his Honeycomb Music project! ...

A wonderful project from Adrian Quesada of Grupo Fantasma, Ocote Sound System and Brownout – joined by Argentinean singer Natalia Clavier and Brazil's Tita Lima – a blending of hazy funk and psych and soul tinged groovers with Latin and Brazilian atmosphere! There's a laidback, head-nod ...

A compelling new project from Nobody – quite different from his previous work, and very much in tuneful territory – thanks to help from vocalist Niki Randa! The style here is somewhat subtle – well-crafted tunes that shimmer in shadows of soundshapes – almost atmospheric, ...

World famous record collectors Mr. Supreme and DJ Sureshot deliver one of the best American acid jazz releases to come out. Nice deep feeling, with mellow moody grooves laid down in a real CTI sort of way. There's a bunch of nice tracks on here, many with a real sort of hip hop meets jazz feeling ...

One of the best new projects we've heard in years from Ubiquity Records – a seriously jazzy outing from Sweden's Andreas Saag (aka Swell Session), done in a style that recalls some of the best recent work by groups like Koop and Nuspirit Helsinki! The album's got a really strong vocal feel ...

The debut release from Cuica – a group that features Simon Serrietella, aka Big Bang! Cuica take their name from a Brazilian percussion instrument that has a very unusual sound – and while this record has very little to do with Brazilian music, it does have a highly percussive sound ...

A return to slightly funky work for MMW – lots of organ, Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer, and other groovy keyboards from John Medeski driving the set, backed by some excellent rhythm work by Billy Martin and Chris Wood. This is probably their most compelling album in years – at least to our ...

Splintering, echoing beatcraft from Juliene Dyne – spacey hip hop-indebted, but limitless and genre-skirting sounds – his second solid set for BBE! It's great headphones music – insistently grooving and instrumental for the most part, with a handful of guest vocalists. ...

Leave it to these guys to make a great track even greater! Thievery Corporation do an excellent job with Nicola Conte's jazzy "Bossa Per Due" – adding in some sweeping strings, cool Fender Rhodes licks, and tasty beats aplenty! "The In Samba" is equally great – as ...

Genius work from one of our favorite artists! Both tracks sparkle with the kind of retro-jazzy intensity that we've come to expect after Conte's brilliant Jet Sounds LP – a perfect blend of classic bossa grooves and modern dancefloor production, in a mode that blows away all the competition! ...

Incredible! Although the first album by Balanco had a definite Italian bossa sound (which was very popular in their acid jazz scene a few years ago), this great second album by the group breaks into whole new territory – like French and Italian soundtrack grooves, particularly in the vein of ...

Overlooked genius from the early years of Schema Records – done by a group who maybe came a few years to soon to share in the fame of artists like Nicola Conte or Gerardo Frisina – but whose sound here is equally great! Neos are a pair of jazz musicians – Luigi Bonafede on Fender ...

Fab second volume in this great series that takes older Brazilian rhythms and musical ideas, and filters them through the talents of some of the best modern producers and remixers! This volume features 11 great tracks – many of which were only issued as expensive import singles, and all of ...

The best work so far from Rosalia De Souza – a session that features production and guitar from bossa legend Roberto Menescal, and a sound that's deeper and even more classic than any of Rosalia's other work! Most of the instrumentation here is in an older acoustic mode – piano, ...

Another great achievement from this groovy Italian group – an album that's head and shoulders above anything they were doing just a few short years ago! The Dining Rooms deep to deepen their sound more and more with each new record – hitting a range of tones and colors that take them ...

Great grooves from S-Tone – the best album so far from Stefano Tirone, thanks to a range of great singers and musicians on the set! There's a warmly acoustic vibe here – one that's rooted in bossa, but which also has some of the club jazz elements you'd expect from Schema Records ...

Get ready to fall in love with a new bossa singer! The lovely Rosalia De Souza is a sweet-voiced vocalist with a sound that's very much in keeping with classic 60s work from Brazil – and she's got the added benefit of working here with new arrangements from the great Nicola Conte, the ...

A reworked version of one of our favorite albums on Schema Records – a set that has the initial pair revisiting their tunes and twisting them around nicely – in a style that's not really remix, but more re-imagination! The approach is one we can really appreciate – as Paolo and ...

Breezy bossa by Stefano Tirone – aka S-Tone – done in the best style of recent work on the Schema label! Stefano's really grown a lot in his work since his first album – and Luz Y Sombra really delivers on the promise of a host of recent singles, and serves up some beautiful ...

Beautiful bossa groovers galore – and one of the greatest entries so far in a series that never lets us down! Years back when Break N Bossa first started, the concept of older Brazilian modes and contemporary dancefloor rhythms was something of a new idea – but over the years, with the ...
