VINYL RELEASE – Thylacinus & Da Funksta ‘A New Beginning’ [Cosmic Elements]

For fans of old school, LoFi and mainly instrumental hip hop and funky downtempo beats in the style of Pete Rock, MF Doom’s Special Herbs series, Mushroom Jazz and LTJ Bukem’s Cookin Records imprint, here is my first ever vinyl release which is under my ‘Thylacinus’ (pronounced ‘thigh-lah-sinus’) alias alongside the brilliant Da Funksta , comprising 10 tracks and entitled ‘A New Beginning’ 🙂

It’s a limited edition run of just 250 copies worldwide, with the artwork image from none other than the Mushroom Jazz legend himself Mark Farina. It’s exclusively available on Bandcamp or you can buy direct from me (which would be cheaper, as no fees from third parties – send me a direct message) and I’ll ship to anywhere in the world. I would really appreciate your support on this project which took a very long time and lots of effort to put together, so we’re hopeful this will certainly not disappoint!

SPIRIT OF HOUSE (REVIEWS)

Truth Committee return to Adaptation Music with their sixth single, this one a disco and rare groove inspired track entitled ‘What You Need Tonight’.

One for the Nu Disco/Disco House fans out there, ‘What You Need Tonight’ is a well crafted take on the late 70s and early 80s disco and rare groove sound, with beautiful keys and synth stabs alongside some infectious vocals and live bass. One not to miss!

With several releases forthcoming on Adaptation Music, Pina Colada and Funky Revival to add to releases already on Ginkgo Music and Hive, this is shaping up to be a great first year for Truth Committee, with much more on the way.

“Very nice keys here”
FINEST WEAR (LARGE MUSIC / NORDIC TRAX)

“Lovin the 90’s vibe. Very nice track!”
SEAN SMITH (SMOOTH AGENT / CLASSIC MUSIC COMPANY)

Adaptation Music’s 129th release is a deep, Detroit/Chicago inspired house track from Tom Conrad entitled ‘Memories Of You’.

The track begins with some deep Detroit chords leading into a Chicago inspired bass line leading into a beautiful early 90s piano solo layered with atmospheric synth sounds. Arguably one of Tom’s finest deep house tracks to date but we’ll let you be the judge.

This release is a follow up to both ‘Spirit Molecule’ and Tom’s remix of El Funkador & Lee Wilson’s ‘Give Me’ which is already his most played track ever on Spotify to date. Expect several more tracks and remixes from Tom over the coming months under his own name and his three current aliases.

NEW RELEASE – Thylacinus ‘Roll Another One’ [Cosmic Elements]

Available on all digital stores and streaming platforms.

“Good vibe on these”
DA FUNKSTA (CHEMARS / D.P.V / THE OLD SKOOL THE NEW CLASS)

“Sunset Strip is my pick”
HOT TODDY (CRAZY P)

“Stoney vibes!”
MATT PRUITT (JUICED MUSIC / 4PEACE / TRAXSOURCE)

“Very nice and laid back these jams..”
FINEST WEAR (LARGE MUSIC / NORDIC TRAX)

“Nice smooth grooves, both tracks are nice”
SEAN SMITH (SMOOTH AGENT / CLASSIC MUSIC)

“Both tracks are cool, but the standout jam ‘Sunset Strip’ (Original Mix) is a serious head nodder!”
MARCIA CARR (TALKING MUSIC / RINSE FM)

“Nice downtempo groove”
HIPPIE TORRALES (MOTOWN / UNIDISC / TURNTABLE ORCHESTRA)

The third EP from Thylacinus on Cosmic Elements is a beautiful lounge/chillhop/old school hip hop two tracker entitled ‘Roll Another One’. The artwork, titles and sound should explain what this release is all about.

The first track ‘Sunset Strip’ has that west coast feel but rather than being about the place of the same name, it is more to do with the feel of the track and the sexy bass line conjuring up thoughts of things happening as the sun goes down. Ethereal keys, funk infused guitar and beats as well as that sexy bass line make it all possible. The ‘B Side’ entitled ‘Portland Stoned’ is a multi-layered pun name, which is for the listener to work out as there is more than one Portland in the world, however, the track itself is a dreamy atmospheric beauty with a deep subby bass which shows exactly why the overall release has the title that it does.

The influence for this EP started for Thylacinus over 20 years ago and now it finally comes to fruition, adding to an already consistent and growing discography, with a vinyl album release on the way before the close of 2022.

“A glorious slice of late night bliss”
SPIRIT OF HOUSE (REVIEWS)

“Lovely 3 tracker”
VINNY DA VINCI (METRO FM / HOUSE AFRIKA)

“Superb 3 tracker, nice late 90’s deep house vibez..”
ORLANDO B (CONTEMPLATE RECORDINGS / EASTBOUND)

Adaptation Music welcomes back Caliorange with a new EP following on from March’s ‘Illuminated EP’, this time with another sublime deep three tracker entitled ‘Explorations EP’.

The EP opens with ‘Atlantean’, a classic old school deep house track that builds with captivating strings and chords into a lush jazzy piano lick with U.S Garage beats and a warm sub bass which makes the track both dancefloor friendly and dreamy at the same time. The second track ‘Desert Glow’ is a classic early 90s vibe with 909 beats, beautiful synth chords and a plethora of harmonies and melodies to take you right back to summer time in 1991. Closing the EP is ‘Spaced’, a Kerri Chandler/Detroit influenced deep tech number which is one for the late night sets.
