No Dejo Caer surpassed 1k streams on Spotify yesterday, and I'm over the moon with all the love our music is receiving. This track, a fusion of Afro-Cuban jazz with hip-hop and modern beats, blends Spanish canción and guitar with African rhythms, a significant influence on Latin American music. Creating this track with and was one of the most satisfying experiences in my music-making endeavors. A huge thank you to everyone who has listened, shared, and connected with the message of our music!

With decades of experience in the music scene, Silvério Pontes ( ) has collaborated with numerous prestigious artists and has been a key figure in bringing Brazilian trumpet sounds to the world. I'm deeply proud and grateful to have Indee and Silvério Pontes on board and couldn't be happier with the track we made together!

In addition to my work as a sample-based music producer, I also play the guitar. This skill plays an important role in my creative process. The blend of live instrumentation and sampling truly drives my passion for creating my beats. There's a therapeutic sense to playing an instrument, and I highly recommend this to anyone.

In today's music pick, I'm holding the iconic album "New York - Addis - London: The Story of Ethiojazz 1965 - 1975" by Mulatu Astatke ( ), with the song "Yègellé Tezeta" setting the scene. This album, a cornerstone in the Ethio-jazz genre, draws a beautiful parallel to my latest release "Back to Ethiopia," reflecting a shared journey through the rich landscapes of Ethiopian music. Both works celebrate the fusion of traditional Ethiopian sounds with modern influences, showcasing the timeless allure of Ethio-jazz.

In this series, I recreate visuals linked to artists who've piqued my interest, and this time, it's Bruxas ( ). I've chosen to reimagine their album cover of "Más Profundo," accompanied by their hypnotic track "Plantas Falsas." The artwork reflects a step beyond the present, fusing the organic and the digital — a futuristic interpretation of their '70s funk and modern electronica blend.

Hi my friends, have you listened to my new single, Back to Ethiopia? This is my second release, and plenty more are on the horizon. Enjoy!

Mulatu Astatke ( ), often described as the father of Ethio-jazz, is a hero of mine, whose powers span over half a century, shaping not just Ethiopian music but influencing sounds across the globe. His journey, from the classrooms of London's Trinity College to the jazz-filled nights of New York City, has been nothing short of heroic. There he fused jazz with traditional Ethiopian melodies, and helped shape one of the most unique fusions of all times (in my humble opinion). Fast forward to today, and he is still flying high, his wisdom guiding new generations, reminding us that heroes age, but their legacies are immortal.

I'm lucky to have talented friends participate in my music, and Yuri Villar ( ) is one of the most active contributors to my project. We're longtime friends, and he recorded a baritone saxophone solo in my latest release, Back to Ethiopia. Yuri is a multi-talented saxophonist, flautist, composer, and music arranger with over 20 years of rich experience in the music industry. His career has seen him perform in acclaimed musical groups and arrange music for award-winning films, highlighting his wide range of skills. I cannot express enough gratitude for having him share his creativity with me, and I can't wait to have him on board again for other pieces. More to come!

I'm back from Korea, and it feels like I've returned from more than just a vacation. This trip was a bridge to deeper connections with the love of my life, born in that vibrant land. As I resume my daily life, I'm constantly reminded of this experience that's changed me in ways I'm still discovering. I'll definitely miss this place.

Heading off to Korea for the first time, where my soul mate is from. As I sit on this plane, every mile brings me closer to the person who transforms and continues to transform my life. Seoul and Busan are on my itinerary, giving me the chance to explore the culture, history, and landscapes of a place that holds a special spot in my life. I can't wait!

In this series of posts, I seek out images tied to artists like and then use AI to recreate these visuals. The first image is my recreation, and the second is an original album cover by Cut Chemist. "The Garden," from the album The Audience Is Listening, blends hip-hop and Brazilian sounds, underscored by a deep lyrical narrative about living a life of integrity and love. In this piece, Cut Chemist masterfully samples Astrud Gilberto's () performance of "Berimbau," a true classic in Brazilian culture. Released in 2006, Cut Chemist's track stands out for its innovative mix of genres.

The Afro-rock movement, a genre that emerged in the late 1960s and 1970s, particularly in Nigeria and Ghana, is definitely one of the best fusions with rock I've heard. In the active scene of Nigeria's 70s rock revolution, The Hygrades stood out with their electrifying guitar riffs and undeniable energy. The track "In the Jungle" from the album "Keep on Moving" is a favorite of mine.

With a voice that moved mountains and a resolve that broke barriers, Nina Simone ( ) was more than a legendary singer. She embodied the strength of a superwoman. Her songs paved the way for justice, her melodies uplifted souls, and her legacy continues to inspire action. Celebrating the queen whose rhythm knew no bounds and whose spirit knew no defeat.

Today, we're diving into the unique flair of Charlie Parker's "My Little Suede Shoes," a standout track in the Verve Records collection. Straying from his iconic bebop style, Parker brings in a playful calypso rhythm, offering a melodious contrast to his usual fast-paced tunes. Ideal for jazz enthusiasts and producers alike, it showcases his versatility and adds a rhythm-rich twist to the Verve legacy.

It's Carnival time in Brazil, the world's most breathtaking festival of music, dance, and vibrant colors, where the entire country comes alive in a spectacle of joy. Amidst this grand celebration stands a timeless tune, "Ô Abre Alas" by Chiquinha Gonzaga, which has been the heartbeat of the festivities since 1899. Gonzaga, a trailblazing composer and social revolutionary, gifted us this marchinha, pioneering a genre that epitomizes the essence of Carnival. As we embrace the festivities, let's honor her legacy and let "Ô Abre Alas" guide us through the streets in this unparalleled celebration.

Today, I'm combining AI art with the world of music by transforming a photo of Pit Baumgartner, the founder of De-Phazz, into a unique AI-generated visual. The first image is my reimagination of Pit's bio photo (which is the second image). Baumgartner is a trailblazer in the fusion of jazz, soul, and electronic music, giving us iconic sounds like "Cut the Jazz," a personal favorite of mine. The first image has been rendered in a painterly style, boasting a textured look akin to canvas, complemented by a background exuding an impressionistic vibe. This artistic choice reflects Baumgartner's innovative blend of diverse musical elements to forge the unexpected. Much like a painter employing broad strokes and contrasting textures to realize a vision, Baumgartner's mix of jazz rhythms, soulful harmonies, and electronic beats defies the boundaries of genre, capturing the very spirit of musical innovation and creativity.

Today, we're spotlighting Donald Byrd , especially his groove-laden tune "Change (Makes You Want To Hustle)" from the album Places and Spaces. Byrd's genius in fusing funk with jazz not only influenced a generation but directly inspired my track, "The Groove." Byrd's mastery over the trumpet pushed me to weave trumpet solos into my work, aiming for that same blend of funk and jazz. "Change (Makes You Want To Hustle)" is one of the many influences behind "The Groove." This track is a celebration of the artists who've shaped the soundscape of funk and jazz, a collective homage to the legends.

The guy holding me is Guilherme Gautreaux ( ), the sound engineer who mixed and mastered "The Groove." It's amazing how old friends can come together to create something special. I make the beats, and Guilherme is the pro that polishes them with his sound engineering mastery. But his talent doesn't stop there. Guilherme is also a musician, weaving his magic into the duo Claxy. A big thank you to him for elevating "The Groove" with his expertise. If you're into exploring new sounds, give Claxy a listen on Spotify. Their fusion of electronic and Brazilian vibes is uniquely captivating. I'm grateful for Guilherme's touch on this project and excited for you to discover everything that Claxy is about.
