RELEASE DATE

Finnish drummer/producer
Teppo "Teddy Rok" Mäkynen
returns with his alias
The Stance Brothers
with
Sao Paolo/Timmy
, a new 7" release on We Jazz Records. Lauded by the likes of
DJ Koco
aka
Shimokita
,
Kenny Dope
, and
Gilles Peterson
, Mäkynen's studio creation released the new album
Duktus
in November 2023, the project's first full length in more than ten years. He is now back with a new version of album cut "Sao Paolo" plus an unreleased new track, "Timmy," the project a treasure-trove for everyone into crunchy jazz funk à la
Bob James
and
CTI
, but this is no retro exercise. Teddy Rok moves forward in all directions, constantly bringing new elements into his sound, which is more-layered and deep than ever before. At the same time, the crunch and the breaks are there when you need them. The Stance 7" sides are often dominated by crunchy drums and crystal-clear vibraphone melodies, and that's the overall vibe here, too. That being said, Mäkynen keeps things moving forward at all times, achieving moments of pure bliss with tracks that sound compact but expand far and wide both emotionally and musically. The Stance Brothers are active live as a four-piece band, appearing live over the summer in Finland at Odysseus Festival and Flow Festival in Helsinki, plus G Livelab Tampere. RIYL:
