Wicked Jazz Connection is a project of the Amsterdam-based platform Wicked Jazz Sounds.
The project really is about just that: connections. Traveling between many musical styles, countries and influences, the band takes you on a journey that spans funk, soul, jazz, afrobeat, house and hiphop. Fronted by the gorgeous and charismatic Berenice van Leer and backed by unstoppable forces Baraka G on keys, Norman Kapoyos on guitar & vocals and Leroy Rey on beats and electronica.

Their selftitled debut album was released on CD in April 2014.
We will release it on vinyl for the first time as a 12" with 4 tracks plus a previously unreleased remix and DJ-edit.
It features collaborations such as: Bootie Brown (The Pharcyde) and Ursula Rucker (The Roots, 4hero and King Britt).

Hypothesis EP

 
Following their Bossa Nova infused Dilla tribute on 7-inch vinyl, Les Cooles de Ville
returns with their first EP on wax and digital formats. Collecting their songs from 2015 and 2016 the Amsterdam based outfit, showcases their travel and explorations into their own unique euro-centric sound. Based on the principles of the Native Tongues and the Soulquarians they craft soulful, laidback and jazzy hip-hop  evoking feelings of summer sunsets, small gatherings of people, Soul-food and inner-city living. It’s easy to hear the influences of early De la Soul and Common on some of their songs,  while others would fit in the LA Beat scene of Flying Lotus or in the more introspective landscape of Nujabes . Overall a pleasant listening experience for the moments you need a more subtle but still energetic soundtrack to your life.
