UPCOMING: Colm K. - The Love EP (BASTARD JAZZ)
Due out June 2013 on 12", to pre-order please contact us at info@conch.co.nz
Bastard Jazz is proud to present The Love EP from Cork, Ireland based DJ and producer Colm K. Colm, a 2009 graduate of the Red Bull Music Academy, has been making waves for a few years now through after his debut Basics 12" for Bastard Jazz and a 7" and a 10" released on sublabel BSTRD Boots (the latter of which is sold out and regularly changes hands for upwards of $50 on eBay and Discogs), and recently shared billing with Mr. Scruff on a Hypnotic Brass Ensemble remix 12" on Choice Cuts.
Here on The Love EP, Colm's musical vision has truly matured on a fully realized 12" that draws on such disparate influences as Herbie Hancock, 80's boogie, J-Dilla, vintage House music, Floating Points and Q-Tip productions. Things kick off with "The Attic", paying homage to the classic " " by " " with it's immediate synths coupled with hard hitting boom-bap drums, rhythmic percussion, deep bass, and twinkling keys before transforming into a seriously bouncey boogie bounce midway through. Next up, "Nothing" works in a "Love Hangover" inspired vocal line sung by ______ with it's booming kicks, astrologically inspired synth leads and acoustic guitar stretches. On the flip, "Good Fridays" bumps nice and tough with it's neck-snapping drums, synth chords and plunging sub-bass before a midway changeup into a seriously deep piano driven monster - a perfect late night surprise. The EP rounds off with the 63 BPM cosmic jam that is "Spaced" with it's slap bass and delayed synths sitting perfectly in the pocket. Art for the EP comes from graphic artist Donal Thorton, notable for Onra's Long Distance cover, and many of the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble covers on Choice Cuts.
Getting upfront play from Lefto, Kev Beadle, Robert Luis (Tru Thoughts), Nickodemus, Garth Trinidad (KCRW), Bradley Zero (Boiler Room)

Bastard Jazz returns to the basics for a spring fling with a beautiful & soulful 12” by recent signing Colm K - chock full of remixes and vibes from some of our favorite producers! Hailing from the town of Cork, Colm is one of Ireland’s most respected DJs and garnered a whole host of international attention from his track “Dancing Skulls” , released last year on a BSTRD Boots 10”. On his debut single for Bastard Jazz, Colm offers up “Basics”, a heavy, bumping down tempo cut. The low squelching synths, delayed guitar licks, dusty pianos and boom-bap drums compliment the lovely vocals of Elaine Dowling perfectly. Up next, Colm reworks the tune for the dancefloor with his “Uptown Dub”, taking things into a sexier, cosmic boogie direction with just a swirl of the original vocals intact. Toronto’s Alister Johnson aka DJ Catalist gives up a stripped down, darker version of “Basics” with a sparse drum break, icy synth work and a pulsing bassline that somehow manages to sound warm and isolated simultaneously. On the flip, Ross Wakefield of the UK’s Part Time Heros teams up with Alex Stevenson of Patchwork Pirates for an absolutely gorgeous & atmospheric drum’n’bass re-working of the tune – a total standout & must-listen. Up next, Bastard Jazz’s own Jugoe heads into familiar territory with a dub mix, giving basics a signature rub of uptempo crushing drums, arpeggiating synths, vocal manipulations and deep deep bass. Finishing off the 12” is a bonus cut, “Love Loving You” – a perfectly pined piece of instrumental hip-hop originally released on the “Hear No Evil vol. 2” digi-compilation.
