BANDCAMP

Experimental Deephouse Afro-futurism album by Dub poetry free spirit Jasmine Tutum and OG Jahtari crew disrupt & Rootah as The Other Others, oscillating between spaced out soundscapes, floaty hoovers and heavy movers.

Tokyo-born, grown up in Jamaica and living in Germany (with various stops in-between) Jasmine’s wild biography translates into sonic territory with this LP, drawing inspiration from Grace Jones and Theo Parrish, newworldaquarium and Roger Robinson alike.

Coming on vinyl LP and as limited glow-in-the-dark tapes edition!

ROOTAH
“Strasse E – Vol. 1”

release date: 19.10.2023
(cassette tape)

ADD TAPE TO CART

Volume 1 of the Strasse E mixtape series by Rootah, who was a resident DJ at a local Leipzig techno club and obsessive record digger in the 1990s before starting Jahtari.

Lost & re-discovered, this first cassette was recorded in the early 2000s, mostly focusing on what was happening between Berlin, Detroit, Munich, Vienna and Chicago.

Great energy in this mix with lots of bangers that aged remarkably well, from a time before Discogs, Youtube or Shazam.

Comes with artwork by David Farris, with added hand-drawn Neon vibes. Limited copies!

BANDCAMP

Heavy hitting SNES-Funk album from Tapes, returning to Jahtari for his first full length LP with eight solid 16bit Slap Crackers!

Constructed with data rips from Super-Nintendo ROMs, a Sequential Circuits Drum Tracks and a heavy dose of Kawai K1, each of these gems unfold into epic compositional mastery reminiscent of 1980s Japanese kids TV, with sparkly sprinkles of synth wizardry thrown on top.

‘Funk Plates Vol. 1’ sees Tapes depart as a riddim driven Digi-Dub contributor with a sharp handbrake U-turn on the Neo high way to funky-town.

A perfect soundtrack for a spaced out Sunday morning and just as potent on the club hifi! (Quack!)

BANDCAMP

Six Black Hole jazz dubs by Cosmic Threat, coming together in one truely epic album straight from the astral echo chamber.

Jammed over various sessions in an empty Leipzig club during lockdown, Kiki Hitomi, disrupt and bass clarinet black belt Volker Hemken (from Gewandhausorchester Leipzig) are keeping the track structures in constant warp mode, psychically locking in with the machines and freely exploring all the sonic territory inbetween Sun Ra and Prince Jammy.

This highly hypnotic spiritual sequel to Kiki Hitomi’s ‘Karma No Kusari‘ (2016) comes on red vinyl and with hand-painted artwork by Ellen G.

‘Cosmic Threads’ was commissioned by Gewandhaus zu Leipzig as part of ‘Two Play To Play’. ‘Two Play To Play‘ was designed by Karen Laube and Matthias Krähenbiel and is produced and presented by Gewandhaus zu Leipzig. Vinyl funded by GvL Neustart.

Probably the very first proper Jahtari tracks ever made, those two raw gems from a Net-7″ from 2004 are finally appearing on vinyl through Turtle Isle Records.

Two really cool Rootah and disrupt lofi jams on some Wackies riddims (probably), with a cracked Ableton Live… Lots of love for this one.

Sonic Fiction tape by disrupt on Zonedog, giving nods to tales like Fallout, Wasteland or Mad Max.

Gritty loops and eroded synth-scapes tell the story of a trip across a world without water: a journey through parched and wind-swept lands, dried-out riverbeds, past vast garbage dumps, following the hydrogen fuel veins across the Big White, in search for that crucial part to fix your communities’ water pump: ‘The Water Chip’.

Each tape comes with hand-painted cover art by Ltd. Candy, each with a unique color scheme – photos can’t fully capture it.

Only 77 tapes for the world! Don’t sleep or you’ll weep!

‘…lost contact with scientist team looking into the energy signature on Psylos Prime. Just entered orbit, on my way to investig… SYSTEM ERROR—‘

Last words from seasoned psychonaut Disrupt, and the beginning of ‘Under Triple Suns’, a gripping SonicFiction paperback novel, cut to holo-disk for the very first time.

Dubbed-out loop clusters, foggy melody nebulas and hazy layers of alien field recordings are held together by otherworldly off-the-grid rhythms, shaping the experience into an highly immersive sonic tale of crash-landing on a mysterious planet.

Out on the Jahtari-sublabel Zonedog the album follows the trail of previous space exploration endaevours like ‘Omega Station‘ and ‘The Recreation Room‘. Coming with beautiful vintage-SciFi water color artwork by Ellen G.

ADD TAPE TO CART
DIGITAL (free download!)

Nerdcore Dub versions from ‘The Secret of Monkey Island I & II’ adventure game soundtracks (1990 / 91), the forgotten Voodoo-Reggae classics from the floppy disc age.

The original game soundtracks by Michael Z. Land, in all their uncanny 16bit-Soundblaster FM-synth glory, were a massive influence for Jahtari (weird computer game reggae!) – but could those soothing and somewhat wimpy tracks be translated into a Heavyweight Dub context, something that might work on a sound system?

Well, here are our attempts from around 2005 / 06: Meanwhile Deep Beneath the Island. Sixteen haunting tracks, optimized for guzzling grog, by Gamle Harlev Orchestra & Bo Marley, John Frum, Volfoniq and disrupt. Finished cuts, various dubs and plain demos, raised from the Undead, just for the torment of your ears!

OG artwork by Kristian Nordentoft. Available as FREE download on Bandcamp – and as limited tape run with alternate ‘Head of the Navigator’ cover!

release date: 02.11.2020
12″ vinyl, no digital

ADD VINYL TO CART

Super heavy keta-dub 12″ by Namahage, DJ ScotchEgg‘s mysterious little side project on Zonedog.

‘Waku Waku Doom’ on A is a true low end epic. Hazy vocal scraps are flying over vast fx landscapes and percussion loops, all moving in lava lamp speed – until the track properly twists into phase two…

The beatless ‘Bathyscaphe’ on side B goes on a deep sea dive, balancing awe and terror as the submersible slowly descends deeper and deeper into the silent world of immense pressure. Intense journey!

Hand stamped with glow in the dark ink! Strictly limited vinyls, no digital!

Two heavily dub-encrypted data packages by disrupt, retrieved from Jahtari deep storage and transferred to 7″ floppy disk for the very first time.

On side A ‘Chip on Fire’, a 2005 favourite, mutates through it’s dramtic arc with hypnotic bass pressure, exploding psycho-synths and CPU-straining mind bender moments until reaching an intense conclusion.

‘Jojo’s Skank‘, the desperate battle against a merciless metronome on side B, gives a nod to the immortal ‘Monkey Island’ adventure game soundtracks by Michael Z. Land (1990 / 91). For those who know…

Comes with floppy disk artwork and spinning fantascope magic by Ellen G – C:> ECHO not to be missed!
