Based in Vienna (‘The City of Music’), Jazzsticks Recordings is Paul SG’s liquid drum and bass label that smoothly merges soul and jazz elements ‘to paint a liquid funk canvas like no other’. Emerging in 2008, the Austrian label has so far rolled out jazzy releases from the likes of: DJ Marky, Flowrian, Decon, Soulstructure, The Jazzassins, MC Conrad, and Mr SG himself.
Review: Paul SG's Jazzsticks get us hot under the collars, trousers and dancing shoes all at once with these two stunning soul missives from long time fam Flowers. 'Dust And Noise' takes the lead with its dreamy hazy bedding and familiar reggae vocal while 'Close' takes us down even sultrier pathways. Subdued, minor key, introspective, sensual... Think North Quarter but with its own Austrian 'das gewisse etwas'. Go with the Flowrian.
Review: It's Vienna thing, it's a jazz thing, it's a vibes thing... Zero Gravity continues to build up a beautiful armoury of cuts on Jazzsticks as he begins to move to the forefront of Paul SG's inspiring collective. Two more to add to the collection: 'Jazzthetics' takes a big old sample and makes it its own with a pant-swinging flavour that will catch everyone off guard. 'Live At The Memory In' takes thing deeper with more of a dreamier touch and full focus on those loose floaty breaks and bubbling subs. Get your jazz on.
Review: One of the stickiest of Jazzsticks stickmen, collective OG Flowrian shows us how it's done with these two dusty ditties. 'Bittersweet' is all about the off-beat piano hook that gently wraps and unwraps around the persistent breaks and soft focus vocal. 'Jill' follows suit on an instrumental flavour. Dreamy, hazy, sexier than a sunny day in Swansea, but peppered with some very sweet rave elements to give it that special edge - nobody does it like Flowrian.
