Aaron “Ab” Abernathy – Prologue Vol II (EP)
Stream, tracklist and download link below.
Last July, Aaron “Ab” Abernathy’s release “Prologue Vol. I,” a contemporary love story of courtship told through nostalgic records. A year has passed and with time we find that love has changed on Ab’s second installment of the series: “Prologue Vol. II.” A lover has been courted but that doesn’t mean she can be kept….
Mixed and engineered by long time partner Black Milk, the EP takes listeners on a escapade through classic records that lay out the story of Ab questioning his relationship with the woman he fell for last summer. Forced to face different emotions, the funk artist creatively drives home the ups and downs of relationships by reinventing the Debarge’s staple “All This Love,” as well as Faith’s mid-nineties hit “You Used To Love Me.”
The coupling of Ab’s soulful keyboard playing and vocals is refreshing and reminiscent of funk musicians of generations past. Backed by Nat Turner affiliate Malik Hunter on bass, and Black Milk on percussion, Prologue Vol. II captures the feeling of vulnerability from a man’s perspective that’s been absent for some time now.

Ta-ku & Raashan Ahmad – Low Fidelity, High Quality (Album)
This album was apparently thought to be lost until it was brought up in conversation. Great stories make better music, no?
Raashan Ahmad was on a euro tour some weeks ago and during his stop in Berlin we were talking music over dinner. I told Raashan that we are about to release an album with Ta-ku (which has happened in the meantime, check out the “DOWHATYOULOVE” album) and he asked me whether I knew that he recorded a full album with him some time ago during his last australian tour. No, I didn’t know that and getting my hand on the album turned out to be not too easy as it couldn’t be located for quite a while. In the end Raashan found it on an old hard drive and I was a fan of the album instantly. It’s raw hip hop in the truest sense. None of the songs are longer then 3 minutes, quite some are around the 2 minute mark. Nothing but dope beats and raps with some unreleased Ta-ku instrumentals sprinkled in between.
In celebration of both artists releases on Jakarta Records this year we figured it would be nice to give it away for free digitally and even better we decided that pressing it on wax would be nice too. Only 250 copies, numbered, no repress, the first 80 copies on clear wax.
Nylo (@HateNylo) – Breakfast At Tiffany’s
Produced by Boogie Wizzard.
Inspired by the most beautiful woman ever to grace the silver screen, Audrey Hepburn.
“People, even more than things, need to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed… never throw anyone out.”
Ta-Ku – I Miss You
Willow and MVSIC’s ‘Summer Fling‘ hadn’t had that much time to breathe, and Australian producer Ta-Ku has already given his take on the music (which is dope, by the way).
JABB (@OneTakeJABB) – Versace Freestyle
