    FOLLARTE

    Hyperjazz Records unveils “Follarte”, the second offering from Tera Tera – the compelling collaboration between Jacopo Battaglia and Adriano Viterbini. Following “Your New Babe”, this new single reveals a different facet of the duo’s sonic palette, showcasing their ability to craft immersive sound experiences that defy categorization.

    SINGLE DIGITAL

    “Follarte” creates a kaleidoscopic environment where fractured percussion supports an intricate web of sound. Saxophone lines weave through trumpet flourishes and ethereal vocals, while the low end rumbles with primordial intensity – a seismic current running beneath the surface like subterranean thunder.

    The track’s electronic heartbeat pulses as liquid synthesizers and serpentine guitar lines navigate the rhythmic architecture, casting prismatic reflections across an imagined nocturnal cityscape pulsing with digital life.
    This creation arises from the duo’s unique approach: capturing live improvisation before subjecting it to careful deconstruction, transforming raw musical dialogue into orchestrated chaos.

    “Follarte” is the second single from Tera Tera’s forthcoming debut album, expected soon on Hyperjazz Records, providing another glimpse into the rich sonic world Battaglia and Viterbini are creating together.

    REWORKS AND REMIXES

    ALBUM AGOSTA BY SPACE ECHO

    One year after his striking debut, Agosta—the “musician-non-musician” from Catania—returns with Reworks and Remixes, released via Space Echo Records.
    This new album steps confidently away from his first, spotlighting the dynamic electronic scene that pulses around Mount Etna.

    For this project, Agosta brought together key artists from Catania’s vibrant underground. Each one reimagines tracks from his debut, adding their unique sonic fingerprint. From the meditative house grooves of Apple 65 and Lady G (Butterfly Agosta’s Rework), to AN-AN’s dub-heavy take on Varanni—inspired by Grace Jones and Adrian Sherwood—to Galathea’s trippy, twilight-toned remix of Three Chestnuts, every track brings fresh perspective.

    Other standout contributions include Salvo Borrelli and Reverend James with their Shaft-style swagger, Go.Soul.Map.’s smooth downtempo pop twist on Cellars, and Invisible Session’s rainy-day reinterpretation of Lady G, merging spoken word with nu-jazz sensibilities.

    What emerges is a sonic mosaic—diverse in personality, yet unified by a shared vision: music that’s both visceral and soulful, with a distinctly Mediterranean soul running through it all.

    These remixes aren’t just creative exercises—they’re deeply personal reinterpretations, shaped by each producer’s journey and rooted in a specific cultural backdrop. That backdrop? Catania, with its rich clubbing legacy: legendary venues like Mercati Generali, iconic events like Piatto Forte and Ritetroit, and connections to global tastemakers such as Osunlade, Gilles Peterson, and Rainer Trüby.

    Reworks and Remixes is more than just a record—it’s a sonic snapshot of a city and its scene. A cultural landmark that bridges past, present, and future. At the center of it all is Roberto Agosta, directing this collective vision with quiet intensity.

    Don’t miss this essential chapter in the evolution of Catania’s sound.

  • VIVID COLOURS

    ALBUM JACK BLOOM SPACE ECHO

    “Vivid Colours” is his new musical project in collaboration with Milan-based label Space Echo (a rib of the well-known Schema Records).
    A hymn to love understood as a cosmic and spiritual force that transcends all physical, cultural and temporal barriers, celebrating the union between people in a universal concept, but despite its greatness, this universal love is not without contradictions and difficulties.

    Youthful couple issues emerge as an inevitable part of this quest for love: misunderstandings, betrayals, fears of not being enough or of being judged, the difficulty of finding a balance between individuality and complicity. But it is also these experiences that forge love, making it grow, enriching it, leading it to new forms of awareness.

    The album skilfully weaves elements of electronic dance music with enveloping pop-flavoured vocal lines and beats that reveal a wide range of influences.

    Starting with the rhythmic, enveloping sounds of house music, he pushes into the sophisticated “groove” of British R&B, touching on the refined harmonies of jazz and the raw energy of alternative rock.

    Jack demonstrates an extraordinary ability to blend electronic sounds with acoustic instruments, including drums played with an organic touch, which gives the album a fluid sense of swing, making it both intriguing and mature.

    The result is a work perfect both for the dancefloor, with its dynamic and pulsating charge, and for more immersive listening during daily activities, thanks to its evocative and hypnotic nature.

    LYRICS

    Beyond The Wall:

    The dialogue Beyond The Wall wants to establish is one that encourages young people to reflect on the need to face, even if only one small step at a time, their fears. It is not about taking the big leap, but about starting to look at life from a new perspective, seeking new motivation to step outside one’s “comfort zone.”

    Beyond The Wall

    If you got no one to talk to

    ‘Bout the traffic in your mind

    Put yourself in my position

    Where you got nowhere to hide

    Walk, walk the other way

    The walls outside your usual ways

    If you got no one to talk to

    ‘Bout the troubles of your life

    *******

    Vivid Colors:

    Is this what you call love?

    Is this what you call love?

    The scars of your past

    Don’t you let them scare you path

    I see vivid colours when you move

    I see vivid colours when you’re in the room

    Is this what you call love?

    (What you call… what you call… what you call…)

    ******

    What They Want

    You don’t know what she wants

    She doesn’t give you clues

    You Don’t know what she needs

    Maybe some brand new shoes

    So, she can walk all over you

    ********

    DLYPK imagine it’s a night like any other, with the freedom of being young and enjoying a night without worries. Parents aren’t around, or at least they think you’re home sleeping peacefully. You have made sure that no one notices that you are preparing something different….

    DLYPK

    I’m on the wrong side of the bed, Again

    Where do I find someone like yourself, Again

    Oh baby, tell me how lucky did I get, In the end

    The night is young and so are we

    Can’t be tired for the weekend

    Let’s get drunk

    Let’s get high

    Will be fine

    Can’t let your parents know

    Don’t let your parents know

    The night is ours

    We’ve got no ties

    Can’t be stopped when we’re this alive

    Lose control

    Take the ride

    We’ll be fine

    Can’t let your parents know

    Don’t let your parents know

    Party’s Over addresses a sensitive but important issue: excessive drinking and drug use as a mechanism for seeking enjoyment, often as an escape from dissatisfaction or emotional difficulties. The message is aimed at those who try to “splurge” on these behaviours without realizing the devastating effects they can have, not only on physical health, but also on relationships and mental well-being.

    Party’s Over

    It’s cold

    On the bathroom floor

    This is not your home,

    Yeah, I’m sure you know

    This ain’t fun no more

    I think it’s time to go

    Who was there last night?

    You went past your usual bedtime (don’t you remember?)

    The blur the fight the fading light

    I think you might need

    To close your eyes

    you need some sleep

    close your eyes

    the cycle of the week

    Absolutely bores you…

    Shut your mouth and go home!

    I think you’ve done enough

    you’ve knocked yourself out

    so, pack your things and go home

    X2

    Your phone’s

    on the counter cracked

    guess the screen took one for you

    someone cried you laughed

    but you can’t recall who’s who

    These days feel stretched so thin

    like you’re barely holding in

    the weight of what you hide

    I think you need to breath tonight…

    Shut your mouth and go home!

    I think you’ve done enough

    you’ve knocked yourself out

    so, pack your things and go home

    I Know You Will is a state of well-being, therefore, it becomes a moment of inner harmony that not only allows us to live at peace with ourselves, but also to share it with others. The eyes, as the mirror of the soul, become the medium for conveying kindness, empathy and love. Well-being is reflected in the looks, in the ability to connect with others without the need for words, communicating a calmness and positivity that can be felt by those around us.

    I Know You Will

    Those eyes can give you a million reasons

    To give it all up for love

    You don’t know how happy you make me

    You don’t know how happy you make me

    But I know you will

    ‘cause i know you well

    I know you well

    Sweet Sweet Dreams compares a troubled couple’s relationship to a bumpy road, where two people, although bound by similar feelings and desires, are constantly coming up against their differences. “Sweet Dreams,” in this context, becomes a metaphor for something that seems like a distant dream, an ideal of happiness and serenity that is desired but seems difficult to grasp. It is a vision of a perfect love, but one that never fully materializes, remaining an unfulfilled promise, an unfulfilled desire.

    Sweet Sweet Dreams

    I fall into pieces

    When we kiss

    Why don’t you believe me

    When I speak

    Just give me a reason

    To forgive…

    My sweet sweet dreams

    My sweet sweet dreams

    My sweet sweet dreams

    Your lies leave me broken

    When we talk

    I’m lost in the silence

    Of your thoughts

    Just give me the courage

    To move on

    From my sweet sweet dreams

    You have me doubting

    what I know

    It took me so long to let it go

    Now i want back what I lost

    Oh my sweet sweet dreams

    *******

    Take It Easy:

    Take it easy,

    Why do you call my name?

    When I need more space

    Don’t you pull me down

    *******

    Let Me Be

    Are you sure

    that it’s me that you need?

    I won’t be there to pick up the pieces

    Of the mess you made

    I couldn’t be there

    I don’t know what you mean yeah

    FABIO NOBILE BY SPACE ECHO

    A Journey Through the Roots of Sound – A Tribute to Africa!
    A drummer and multi-instrumentalist active in the music scene for over 25 years. His musical research today draws from the deep roots of Afro tradition and the expressive freedom of jazz, two musical cultures that are integral to his identity.

    Sankofa Soul is a musical project born from the fusion of jazz, Afro traditions, and the search for a deep connection between the past and the present.

    The term “Sankofa” comes from the Akan language (spoken in Ghana) and means “to go back and fetch what is good” – an invitation to look to our past in order to better understand our future.

    SINGLES OUT NOW SOON

    In an era where music continues to evolve rapidly, Sankofa Soul is a project that draws from a rich and multifaceted cultural heritage, while also embracing modernity and offering a universal call to awareness of our European roots. Each track of Sankofa Soul reflects Fabio Nobile’s experiences, studies, and roots, in a dialogue between past and present, the sacred and the profane, individuality and collectively.

    Kalakuta Republic is a track that embodies the essence of Afro-jazz, characterized by a hypnotic 12/8 rhythm, typical of African musical traditions.

    Its enveloping rhythmic structure blends with the expressive freedom of jazz, creating a dynamic and captivating mix through a contemporary lens. With Zuma Rock, Landed in Lagos, and I Read the Stars, we immerse ourselves in the Nigerian and Cameroonian music scene, where the influences of Fela Kuti’s Afrobeat and Manu Dibango’s distinctive sound intertwine. Meanwhile, Say Your Prayer Now highlights how the evolution of Jamaican reggae and its cultural and musical roots are deeply connected to Africa.

  • THE VERY END OF JUMBO PIRATES

    THE VERY END OF JUMBO PIRATES

    ALBUM PHRESOUL – HYPER JAZZ

    Phresoul returns to Hyperjazz Records with ‘The Very End Of Jumbo Pirates’! A brand new album that marks a transformative chapter in the Italian duo’s sonic evolution, distilling 14 hours of experimental sessions into 40 minutes of meticulously crafted musical narration.

    BUY

    DIGITAL

    The band that inaugurated Hyperjazz’s catalogue in 2019 with ‘The World Was Made Phresh’ has transformed into a more refined entity. David Paulis and Enrico Truzzi have crafted a work that embodies their philosophical transition – a passing of the torch from one era to another, metaphorically represented by the evocative title that references the absurdist, circus-like journey that has led to this moment.


    ‘The Very End Of Jumbo Pirates’ is both a farewell and a rebirth, conjuring the image of a colossal figure from a bygone era – like the famed circus elephant Jumbo – while charting new territories. Each track functions as a self-contained narrative, together forming what the band describes as “a meta-semantic tale” or “a news feed from a nostalgic email provider”.


    Their sound – where noise-rock improvisations meet neo-psychedelia, abstract hip-hop, and space-jazz – has been refined through a patient process of reduction and meticulous curation.
    What emerges from these meticulously curated sessions is a testament to the duo’s artistic maturity – a refined distillation of their sonic identity that pushes boundaries while remaining true to the experimental ethos that has defined Hyperjazz Records from its inception.

    ‘The Very End of the Jumbo Pirates’ stands as a singular document chronicling the duo’s journey through the musical wilderness and their arrival at a new frontier.

    The track opens with a pulsating rhythm, driven by traditional African percussion and instrumentation, and elevated by the powerful voice of Kadi Coulibaly, a standout artist from Burkina Faso. Her vocal performance radiates joy and vitality, painting vivid sonic landscapes filled with color and movement.

    What sets Naif apart is its seamless fusion of organic and electronic: earthy, traditional sounds meet jazz-infused electronica, creating a rich, textured listening experience that’s as elegant as it is danceable.

    This is the perfect track for lovers of sophisticated dance music—music that moves both the body and the soul.

    A story of laboratories, sound workshops where the fascination for new technologies and the infinite possibilities they offered, is often mixed with the rigour for classical scores, the result of academic studies at the Conservatory.

    A story that is then intertwined with that of the balere, the places for dancing and socialising, where dance was not only an opportunity to stage a whirlwind pursuit of hedonism, but was born out of the desire to make a community, to meet, to discover a new family, that of the night, often more welcoming than the original one.

    It is also the concretisation of a dream, that of being able to ‘reconstruct’ an identity that did not taste of belonging, but of exoticism, of gazes turned towards the Afro-American culture, the one that derived from funk, soul, r’n’b, lived at times with the Salgarian spirit of ‘travelling without moving’.

    • The album draws from jazz, funk, abstract hip-hop, house, and global influences, enriched by collaborations with Salvo Dub and The Invisible Session.

    • Tracks like ‘Back’ and ‘Naif’ evoke vibrant cross-cultural connections, while pieces like ‘Lola’ and ‘Anan’ offer psychedelic jazz and cinematic soundscapes.

    • A predominantly nocturnal listening experience, ‘Room’ combines intricate textures and emotional depth, capturing the essence of the Mediterranean landscape.

    Space Echo Records present ‘Room’, the debut LP from ANAN, the musical brainchild of DJs Roberto Agosta and Massimo Napoli (Galathea).

    Room was born almost unintentionally, emerging from an exchange of ideas while both Napoli and Agosta were working on their respective albums. The result highlights the distinct personalities of both artists. In this album, Napoli’s sunny side intertwines with Agosta’s darker tones, forming a unique and compelling combination.

    The album draws heavily from a wide range of musical traditions, with a strong sense of groove and emotional depth. ANAN’s sound transports listeners on a dreamlike journey, infused with the fragrances of jazz, the rhythms of funk, and various global influences.

    Elements of abstract hip-hop and house are woven together with psychedelic flourishes, evoking imaginary soundtracks for unseen films projected into the cosmos.

    Room also incorporates contemporary sounds from the past two decades, reimagined with a deeply personal touch.

    The contrasting landscapes of Etna’s rugged mountains and the gentle embrace of the Mediterranean Sea are palpable throughout the record. Collaborations with Salvo Dub (aka GO.SOUL.MAP, another Space Echo artist and a leading name in Catania’s music scene) and The Invisible Session further enrich the album’s sonic tapestry.

    This record captivates with its aesthetic sensitivity and expressive maturity. Every musical idea—whether it stems from a sample, a single note, or a passing suggestion—is layered and interwoven to create complex yet accessible textures. While intricate at times, the melodies possess a depth and richness that latch onto the listener, inviting them into its world.

    A predominantly nocturnal listening experience, Room still offers moments of dancefloor energy. It evokes vivid imagery and sensations: in “Back,” the ethio-jazz influences of Mulatu Astatke meet the spirit of Ravi Shankar’s India; “Naif” conjures a refined yet carnal dancefloor resonance reminiscent of Frédéric Galliano’s Frikyiwa; and “Call” sends cumbia into orbit, oscillating through dub echo chambers and delicate piano refrains.

    Tracks like “Anan” deliver a minimal jazz aesthetic, while “Lola” embraces a psychedelic and funky jazz sound, evoking the spirit of vintage Italian film scores—a treat for fans of Crippled Dick Hot Wax.

    The organic soundscapes of “Zoom” and the percussive fervour of “Etna” build further upon the album’s immersive nature, while “Eden” and “Noir” provide a fittingly introspective conclusion to this captivating sonic voyage.

    Room is a dimly lit space with its door left slightly ajar—an invitation to step inside and explore the endless emotions and worlds it evokes.
