Ten unreleased deadly digi riddims from the myspace era by Copenhagen’s Maffi crew, dubbed out into 3D space by disrupt in 2024.

Taking its name from a crucial Firehouse mixtape series, “Mastermind Computer Style” is full of raw nuggets of simplistic beauty, all made in trusty Propellerhead Reason between 2006 and 2009. Some of these riddims were a firm part of early Jahtari live shows, played out on sound systems all over the globe, but never have been cut to vinyl until now.

Watch out for heavy synth driven 8-bit floaters like “Morkt Igen” or “Another Lara”, a Disco Dub version of the Kashif bomb “I’m in Love” by Evelyn King. And check oddities like “Skudduel” or “Jon Jovi”, an alien mutation of the Jon Bon riddim which became Solo Banton’s classic “Talk To Me“.

Raw, primitive CyberDancehall at its best, nostalgic and oddly futuristic at the same time, this album is quickly becoming RoboCop’s favourite playlist when going to work.

…………………………………………………………………

Maffi Promotions a.k.a. Maffi Boys come straight outta 1773 Kbh V, Copenhagen, Denmark. Originally founded in 1990 by the two homeboys, lazy body Moog and Junior the Rat, Maffi Promotions have been a steady producer of simple digital riddims for years. Hanging out in the streets of Hummel City Junior & Moog used to entertain their friends with the primitve riddims of the Maffi sound. Not knowing that they would do the exact same thing fifteen years later, they continued to believe that one day they would move up the ladder, break out of the underground and reach for the stars.

Now, after finally adopting a little sense of realism, the two homeboys have realised that stardom is nothing compared to spamming people on myspace. So the two stoners decided to get a couple of friends together and turn up the bass online. Together with their sound crew FIREHOUSE, Maffi deal nuff weed and gyals!

Maffi Boys are very dedicated to the art of playing Sensible World of Soccer, rolling weed joints with Manitou tobacco and keeping it real in a Vesterbro-style. So watch out! And don’t test! We’ll be putting up new riddims on a weekly basis. We have nuff things brewing – including a delicious chicken!
………………………………………………………………

Growing up in the streets of Hummel City, Vesterbro, MOOG learned the pleasures of sleeping late, playing Sensible World Of Soccer and picking up hot gyals at an early age. He has spent most of his life trying to master these crucial skills. Taking a break from the dog race, Moog is currently focused on reaching a higher understanding of reggae-science and weedology.

JUNIOR experienced the necessity of rolling well-made spliffs at an early age. Incorporating the aestethic heritage of Scandinavian design, he has spent most of his life perfectionizing this old and traditional art form. Junior is currently taking his ph.d. in digital reggae by buying crates of 80’s 7″ and selecting for his sound system Firehouse.

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!

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!)

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.

‘…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.

Twelve cosmic library dubs by disrupt, full of synth loops messing with your time perception and sonic textures that feel like passing out on a fluffy carpet, all baked together into one intense couch listening experience.

Thematically this VR-ready sequel to “Omega Station” (2018) is exploring the mechanics behind modern computer game design, and how even things like Karma are being translated into code – but who cares, “The Recreation Room” is made for kicking back while your mind can go into space ship mode.

Highly immersive SciFi adventure album about the oscillating wonder and terror of unknown space, as you follow the drama of doomed outpost Omega Station to it’s heart stopping conclusion.

With his first full length broadcast from Deep Space in eight (light)years veteran cosmonaut disrupt is setting out towards a new era of space exploration for the Jahtari label:

A mind-boggling journey through 23rd century library music, imaginary soundtrack as much as hommage to worn-out SciFi paperback novels, this beautifully textured interstellar experience comes highly recommended for all space cadets.

After his highly acclaimed album “Dis Side Ah TownRoger Robinson returns with a reel full of new tales about survival in a Dog Heart City. These stories, delivered in Robinson’s full vocal spectrum between low-end dub poetry tremors and haunting falsetto singing, are trying to make the invisible lives visible: giving people affected by gentrification, racism, unemployment and low wage work a sense of authority and aesthetic nobility.

Each song on this tape became a story in that city, while the tape itself is like the city holding these stories. “Nightshifttells about the workers who clean the buildings where power is held, and the contrast between their lives and where they clean. “Flowers” comments on the rate of young black men getting killed, where another victim dies even before the last mourning flowers have dried. There are stories about tower block life, the claiming of a postcode or how the city wears a Swastika like a proud badge in Post-Brexit UK.

This beautiful cassette collects a pile of special riddim cuts from the Jahtari vaults, from re-edited classics by Bo Marley, unreleased gems by John Frum, to completely new experiments, all lovingly dubbed live and soaked in analogue goodness.

Stunning hand-painted cover art by Kiki Hitomi.
