Jules Brennan - Sound dream collage (ep) (2023)

“A little night music by your music maker JPB. This compact ep selection will animate the mood when the night is young or create sonic dreams before your winding journey home ”.

UK/Yorkshire born multi-instrumentalist Jules Brennan has been creating original funk, jazz and psychedelic soundscapes for most of his life, cutting his teeth in the fertile ground of the acid jazz and hip-hop scene of 1990s Nottingham. He then took a left turn and planted himself in Kyoto, Japan, where he has lived for 20 years. This eastern influence and his obsessive jazz vinyl collecting has inevitably filtered into his productions and lately his kaleidoscopic, Japanese-flavoured instrumental grooves have been finding their way onto the airwaves.

"The keyboard gymnast and multi-instrumentalist with his unique koto stylings and visionary soundtracks is now seriously in danger of creating his very own genre. Variously known as 'sushi fusion', 'ponzu funk' 'Wamono meets Brit-funk' or 'Oriental spy-jazz'. Jules' funky-jazz breakbeats, groovy basslines, and quirky guitar riffs knitted together with textured instrumental skits & impressionistic vignettes create organically flowing sound collages that really take you on that journey through the Worldwide sound where west truly does go east!"
