Maylee Todd is an eclectic Toronto-based vocalist with a penchant for genre-bending arrangements rooted in jazz, funk, disco and soul. While members of my generation will always associate the "neo-soul" movement primarily with funny-hatted 90s icon Jamiroquai, Maylee is one of a number of current artists doing exciting, non-cheesy things with the genre (love you, Jamiroquai). The talented young singer first caught our attention with her excellent single "Hieroglyphics," a buoyant, expansive discofunk odyssey that heralded good things to come from her forthcoming sophomore LP, Escapology . Now Maylee's back with single [...]
Two of our favorite nu-balearic producers join forces on this magical Greeen Linez remix of Sorcerer’s “Cobra Coven”. Sorcerer is Daniel Saxon Judd, a San Francisco-based guitarist and drum machine maestro who also plays in the excellent bands Windsurf and Shock . The “Cobra Coven” remix merges Judd’s dubby, cosmic vibes with the otherworldly funkiness of Greeen Linez , a binational production duo made up of Cambridge’s Christopher Greenberg and Tokyo dweller Matt Lyne. When we featured Greeen Linez’s track “Hibiscus Pacific” back in July , I half-jokingly described their music as “yacht [...]
Os :PAPERCUTZ em Portugal têm um problema: são portugueses. Senão vejamos: o seu novo disco, "The Blur Between Us" foi produzido por Chris Coady (Beach House, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV On The Radio) e pelo pai da banda, Bruno Miguel, no estúdio "The Carriage House", onde os Pixies criaram "Doolittle", o disco tem a colaboração de José Luis Peixoto... Ainda assim, quem passa os :PAPERCUTZ na nossa rádio, para além do sempre incontornável "Portugália", de Henrique Amaro? Contam-se pelos dedos e talvez se encha uma mão, e parte da segunda, por uma [...]

Yacht funk meets balearica in Greeen Linez ’ swanky daytime disco production “Hibiscus Pacific”. Greeen Linez is a collaboration between Christopher Greenberg (a member of Hong Kong in the 60s ) and Matt Lyne ( A Taut Line ), residents of Cambridge and Tokyo respectively. If you aren’t well-versed in the “yacht funk” genre, that may be because there only seem to be a handful of artists recording in it right now, most notably Binary favorite Hemingway . It’s basically what it sounds like: groovy, funky high-class elevator music with roots in '70s soft rock [...]

I recently discovered A Taut Line & Hong Kong In The 60s and since then I've been digging their EP Unwoken. The 8 track release includes lovely remixes by veterans and newbies like The Dominatrix and Royalty . Being the insatiable music collector that I am I had to dig a little deeper and find more of their stuff... or anything related. A few clicks later I discovered Green Linez , which is "a new collaboration between Chris and Matt Lyne (aka A Taut Line )" and one click after that I landed on [...]
