Title:	India In Me
Label:	WAGON REPAIR (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	WAG 018EP

"Cobblestone Jazz has been performing live electronic music for five years together. The three members of the group are programmer Tyger Dhula, keyboardists Danuel Tate and Mathew Jonson. The nature of their music balances electronic composition with a live and moving element that results in the exploration of many different styles. Cobblestone is a bit of an anomaly in this day and age of studio refinement, opting to approach music from a performance perspective first, as opposed to recreating studio pieces for their live shows. A large part of this is due to the involvement of Tate, whose background as a jazz musician has led to a large emphasis on playing live. The group's influences range from jazz and dub to breakbeats and minimal techno, and many points in between. Likened by some to electronic whales singing to each other, the groove undulates and develops constantly over the course of each session. Both tracks are recorded and mixed in a live outboard setting. No pre-arrangement was done; the tracks are just improvised and mixed straight to tape. Both build and destroy dancefloors, capturing minds and feet, waking us up to the unique and unmistakable sound of Cobblestone Jazz."

Title:	DMT
Label:	WAGON REPAIR (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	WAG 025EP

Limited one-sided release. "After the overwhelming success of last year's singles 'India In Me' and 'Dump Truck,' the irrepressible Cobblestone Jazz present DMT as a taster in anticipation of their debut album. DMT was recorded while making the upcoming full length, however will not feature when the album drops later this year. It is a white label teaser, and the track's pulsing and imminent progression mimics the very purpose of its release. Cobblestone Jazz produce their tracks live, with a strong emphasis on improvisation, and the trio of programmer Tyger Dhula, keyboardists Danuel Tate and Mathew Jonson, make full use of their formative jazz training to transform the musical outfit into a pragmatic and responsive unit, a living and breathing creation, free of formulaic sequence. 'DMT' is a particularly good example of this, progressing with a confidence and purposefulness that borders on sensual mastery. Samples and trace sounds are revealed into the mix, weaving a hypnotic and infectious reverie that calculatingly refrains from climax. A display of power that is anything but vulgar, Cobblestone aren't showing us all their cards just yet. Magic."

Title:	Lime In Da Coconut
Label:	WAGON REPAIR (CANADA)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	WAG 029EP

"The irrepressible Cobblestone Jazz present the first single from their debut album 23 Seconds, forthcoming on Wagon Repair. Cobblestone Jazz produce their tracks live, with a strong emphasis on improvisation, and the trio of programmer Tyger Dhula, keyboardists Danuel Tate and Mathew Jonson, make full use of their formative jazz training to transform the musical outfit into a pragmatic and responsive unit, a living and breathing creation, free of formulaic sequence. 'Lime In Da Coconut' is a potion brimming with transformation. Cobblestone approach a simple key melody from every angle imaginable, with the harmonies, disharmonies, bubbling accents and rhythmic permutations exposing the otherworldly potential of the simplest of tunes. A sinister whispered vocal conducts affairs, seemingly flustered at its inability to contain the unruly elements in this wonderful experiment. On 'Saturday Night' a deep synth line and ghostly vocoded moans progress through a jungle of percussion and falling echoed tones, steadily approaching a beat that enlivens like water on a desert journey, or rather, like vodka on a Saturday night. The dizzy finale spins around your ears, a bit like the ceiling after a particularly heavy weekend adventure... be sure to be well rested before tackling this sensory safari."

Title:	23 Seconds
Label:	WAGON REPAIR (CANADA)
Format:	3LP
Price:	$26.00
Catalog #:	WAG 031LP

Wagon Repair's exciting improvised techno trio consisting of Mathew Jonson, Tyger Dhula and Danuel Tate. Cobblestone Jazz presents their first stunning longplayer further pressing their unique approach of fusing loose jazz and funk inflicted improv with techno tightness. 23 Seconds is much different from the CD version and includes 3 complete new and exclusive tracks that are not on the CD: 'W' is currently riding roughshod across the world's finest dancefloors thanks to its appearance on the latest Cocoon compilation and here edited for the album. It's perhaps the most uncharacteristic of the tunes on the album, drawing its influences from early trance. 'What You Want' is a new track, recorded exclusively for the vinyl album. It was improvised and recorded live at the UAF festival in Wiesen, Austria and ably demonstrates what this trio can create on the fly. Finally 'Waiting Room' paints a vast and unfamiliar landscape, sparsely populated with nebulous synth chords, beckoning vocoder traces and Twin-Peaked lounge tones. This LP version is also exclusive to the vinyl release."
