Review: The latest missive on Agogo Records' nu-jazz-focused offshoot, Oonops Drops, is a debut from Hanover-based jazz collective Bird Moves. There's much to admire across the two tracks, which combine memorable grooves with some stellar musicianship and a wealth of addictive melodic hooks. The pick for club plays is A-side 'Kakra Kakra', a subtly Afro-influenced nu-jazz workout rich in rubbery bass, loose-limbed drums, hazy horns and energy-packed electric piano solos. They simmer things down on the B-side, where 'Eastbound' joins the dots between the languid, sun-down jazz-funk of Roy Ayers' most laidback moments and the head-nodding shuffle of instrumental hip-hop.

Review: Andy Cooper is best known for being a part of the Californian hip hop group Ugly Duckling. But he recently stepped out on his own to put out his Hot Off The Chopping Block album. Now, his Oonops label picks out their favourite joints from it for this tasty little 7" pressed on recycled black wax. Out kicks off with the old school breaks and freewheeling Rhodes chords of 'Goin All Out' complete with retro verses. 'Blood, Sweat and Soul' is another classically inclined beat with snippets of James Brown's wordless noises and warm organs. 'Hot Pursuit' goes big on the basslines and 'Jerry's Goove' closes with some, well, country influences.

Review: 'Everytime' is the first single off the new album by Lisa Decker and Nautilus. It came about after the label head wondered how Lisa's songs would sound if Japanese jazz trio Nautilus arranged some of them. They have, and here are the results, a very personal new single off a great new album. 'Everytime' is tieless funk with a super sweet and innocent vocal over crisp drums. On the flip is a remix that takes it in new directions with Pat Van Dyke, a longtime known producer and multi-instrumentalist from New Jersey, at the helm. He brings good time horn led sounds with a guest appearance by Brooklyn based lyricist John Robinson.

Review: Lisa Decker makes a return with two new singles here that are taken from her upcoming album which is due in May of this year. It comes two years after her debut with the Japanese jazz trio Nautilus and marks something of a conceptual shift in her sound. 'Love & Hope' finds her turn in a stylish jazz vocal with funky bass loops and organic drums and percussion that straddle many different genres. 'Summer Child' then sinks into a nice smooth jazz-funk vibe with soft focus chords bringing a touch of class to her breezy vocals.

Review: Krafty Kuts and DJ Robert Smith team up to highlight what they do best. Krafty Kuts is known for his unique beats from hip-hop to ghetto funk, while DJ Robert Smith is more known for his scratches and turntable work. After Krafty passed on a few beats to DJRS in 2021, Smith quickly realized that he wanted to create an EP from said beats, and in doing so set about enlisting the help of his connections, fomented and cemented all over the world. The second of three vinyl records making up the overall six-tracker EP 'Krafty Smith', this one hears 'Don't Stop' and 'Hang On', both romantic forward-thrusts through G-funk and glitz, retold through three guest rapper-bullhorns: 1773, Katjuscha Grischkowski and Supastition.

Review: The first instalment of Krafty Kuts and DJ Robert Smith's latest six-tracker 'Krafty Smith' - which comes split into three collectable vinyl versions for you to obsessively froth at the mouth over and thus acquire - hears two of this turntablism-via-production master-duo's best works come to waxen light. With the instrumentals here completed before help was enlisted, the first to receive a rap contribution was 'Here I Come', featuring Wildelux, who on request delivered his bars in no time. This vision was strengthened as more feature requests followed: Slimkid3 thereafter took Moonbeam Kelly on board for 'This Fear'. Within an impressively short timeframe, a masterpiece of first-class artistry was conceived.

Review: Split across three vinyl records on the physical side, Krafty Kuts and Robert Smith deliver their latest EP 'Krafty Smith' as a kind of triangulation (whereas the digital version is beast all unto its own). While the first two instalments on wax hear rappers Supastition, 1773, and Moonbeam Kelly glide over a razzmatazz of G-funk, the pair throw a more serene, string-timbred curveball on part 3. Guest rapper BambuDeAsiatic delivering a compelling creative injuction in the form of 'Pen To The Paper', brushing off his haters with a strident plea for stridency itself; 'Don't Stop', meanwhile, is the EP's only instrumental track and nails the cross-section of hip-hop and jazz-funk, eagerly throwing together rambunctious brass bursts and lower-register licks on guitar.

Review: Japanese outfit Nautilus offer-up Hammond-rich jazz-funk and superb covers of the classics on a steady basis. They dropped their Revival album back in January and now return to a tasty 45 with some easy-going late-night jazz lunge sides on the A-side. 'Half A Minute (feat Mizuki Kamata)' comes with fresh and clean drums and a superlative bass line that's warm and funk while airy chords and a crystal clear soul vocal up top finishes it in style. 'Dirty Old Bossa Nova' has the signature Hammond sounds this band is known for with a noodling groove and curious melodies all offering whimsical escape over subtly shuffling samba rhythms.

Why I Came To California (yellow vinyl 7" limited to 100 copies)
Cat: ODO 1545 YELLOW. Rel: 25 Sep 24
Broken Beat/Nu Jazz
Review: Nautilus' second European tour is just kicking off and now, ahead of their new album Pacific Voyage, a special 7" single has emerged. This gem features a track that didn't make the album cut due to time constraints but now shines and has you wondering just how good the album. The A-side has a jazzy rendition of Leon Ware's soulful classic 'Why I Came To California,' sung by Californian vocalist Eki Shola and supported by Denise M'Baye. Their fresh vocals, combined with Nautilus' vibrant instrumentation, create a contemporary take on the original. The B-side features a funky remix of Bobby Caldwell's 'What You Won't Do For Love' by Soul Supreme that showcases rising Japanese star Ryuto Kasahara.

Review: Nautilus brings smooth grooves with 'Why I Came To California' on Oonops Drops. Side-1's title track features Eki Shola and Denise M'Baye, blending classy funk, soul, and pop into a sophisticated jam. The song shines with its elegant piano and seamless jam section, offering a timeless vibe. On Side-2, Ryuto Kasahara's Soul Supreme remix of 'What You Won't Do For Love' revitalises the classic funk tune. The remix retains the original's charm while injecting a fresh, soulful energy. Nautilus delivers a stylish and heartfelt homage to funk, making this a hot 7" for fans of the genre.

Review: Japanese jazz masters Nautilus strike back again with their first release of 2024, 'Georgy Porgy', a special label collaboration between Oonops Drops and their Japanese label Urban Discos (Diskunion). The title number is a cover version of the yacht rock classic 'Georgy Porgy', with Nautilus' version heard performed alongside UK-based vocalist songwriter and vocalist John Turrell, one half of Smoove & Turrell, and German legend Toni-L. Theirs is a slick and maximised rendition. On the flipside is a similar classic versioning; a sweet cover version of Al Green's 'Let's Stay Together', albeit this time coming with the vocal talents of Japanese singer Keyco and brought with it a crisp, headroomy neo-soulful bent.

Review: Broken beat legends Nautilus return with a futuristic teaser for their upcoming 2026 studio album, and on this evidence, it's going to be superb. The first single reimagines a legendary anime soundtrack with their signature groove and features Japanese singer and sanshin virtuoso Anna Sato, whose vocals elevate the track to a new dimension. The release is completed by Berlin-based DJ and producer Delfonic, a well-known disco and house don and label head, renowned for his deep club remixes and praised by Gilles Peterson. Delfonic adds a magical touch with heavy beats that come with plenty of lavish synth work.

Review: Japanese Jazz Trio Nautilus do what they do best here with another fantastic flipping of a much loved classic. It arrives on German label Oonops Drops and finds them link with pals in the form of Japan's Luvit, Austria's Flip, Germany's Spax and Greece's Yink who all spit bars over opener 'Jump Around' to make it into a slick and seductive joint. Nautilus members Anna Sato and drummer Toshiyuki Sasaki lead out the original version of 'Rokucho' which then, on the flip, has a fine rework from Slick Walk that pays tribute to the original while adding something fresh.

Review: Fresh from making his first appearance on the party-starting Resense series, Shin-Ski (real name Shinsuke Taoka) delivers a rare, four-track "45" featuring a bunch of previously unheard productions from his jam-packed hard drive. He starts as he means to go on with 'On & On', a head-nodding hip-hop club cut crafted from bits of an old soul floor-filler, before smothering another toe-tapping beat with mazy electric piano solos on 'Classic'. Over on the flip, 'Beach' sees the Japanese veteran wrap a boom-bap beat and funky bassline in flanged guitar licks, while closing cut 'That Jazz' more than lives up to its descriptive title. Loose, groovy and musically rich, it should please anyone who loved Guru's classic Jazzamatazz productions.

Review: To mark the 150th episode of Oonops's Brooklyn Radio Show he invited some artists to record some tracks for his for Oonops Drops label. Slick Walk (Merse & DJ Robert Smith) and Fingathing's Sneaky steppe dup first with 'Bird's Lament', a nice cut up beat with twanging double bass and dark cello vibes. South Korean producer Avantgarde Vak says 'Keep Ya Eyes Up' and does so with a sparse beat and moody bass. Last of all is the tight drum funk of Toshiyuki Sasaki's 'Toshi Bonus Breaks.'

Review: German label Oonops Drops is ever more essential if you ask us and tidy 7"s like this prove why (as does their mission to focus is on "sustainability, climate protection and socio-cultural values".) 'Bird's Lament' is a top tier tune from Slick Walk x Sneaky with live drum breaks and serene strings making for a reflective late night vibe. On the flip of this limited edition and clear slice of wax is Avantgarde Vak with the sweet hip hop sounds of 'Keep Ya Eyes Up' then Toshiyuki Sasaki with his sublime 'Toshi's Bonus Breaks.'

Review: German hardcore band Urge drops their fiery single 'Brainwashed'. After one year of work on this remix, Canadian rapper Abdominal, known for his work with DJ Format, is heard rhyming over a heavy Mo'Wax-esque beat produced by Smoove, including skilled cuts by Berlin-based turntablist and DJ Robert Smith. Together, they've built a deep-sounding monster of a tune. The 7", which sits in a Japanese Katta round inner sleeve, includes the original song, as well as bonus beats n' breaks for all the DJs.
