    YOUR NEW BABE

    Hyperjazz Records is proud to announce the release of “Your New Babe”, the debut single from the innovative duo Tera Tera. This unexpected collaboration brings together two of Italy’s most dynamic musical forces: drummer Jacopo Battaglia and guitarist Adriano Viterbini.

    The single showcases the innate chemistry between Battaglia, founder of cult Italian trio Zu and collaborator with Mike Patton and The Bloody Beetroots, and Viterbini, founder of rising sensation I Hate My Village and collaborator with Rokia Traorè and Bombino.

    “Your New Babe” is a sonic exploration that defies genre boundaries. It perfectly embodies Hyperjazz Records’ commitment to musical evolution and experimentation. The label is an ideal playground for the artists, a space where their artistic vision can run wild, unrestricted by conventional limitations.

    Tera Tera’s debut album – which will be launched later in 2025 and from which this first single is taken – was born from two intense jam sessions, meticulously fragmented, chopped, and reassembled. The result is a testament to the duo’s shared vision of pushing sound to new heights and rituals, creating pathways towards musical transcendence.

  • BACK

    BACK

    The ANAN project, which will see the release of an album on 03/21/2025 titled ROOM, came about almost unintentionally as a result of an artistic exchange between Galathea and Agosta while both were working on their respective albums.

    “Back” is a tribute to tradition and a step into the future. Imagine listening to Totò La Momposina or Billo’s Caracas Boys meets innovative artists such as Nicola Cruz, Quantic, Umoja or Rodrigo Gallardo It is a song that invites dancing, but also reflection.

    “Back” represents an elegant fusion of traditional sounds and electronic innovations, evoking the essence of contemporary cumbia through a fresh and vibrant lens.
    The richly textured production opens with a hypnotic downbeat rhythm that immediately captures the attention.

    Ancestral rhythms from Latin American cultures are recalled in an interplay of overlaps, while the synthetic piano adds a futuristic touch. A distinctive element of ‘Back’ is the ability to maintain a pressing groove without ever being monotonous. The result is enveloping, with a crescendo of sounds that weave together in a collective dance, perfect for a dance floor or simply daydreaming.

    KHALAB FEATURING KASAI ALLSTARS – BY HYPERJAZZ

    Khalab and Kasai Allstars already collaborated in 2021 when they asked the Italian producer to remix ‘The Large Bird, the Woman and the Baby’, a track included in their last album with a powerful video clip in support.

    BUY

    Digital

    The Kinshasa DRC-based collective consists of fifteen musicians from five ensembles, all originating from the Kasai region (a Congolese province of the size of France) and belonging to very different musical traditions – such as that of Luba and Lulua – which were thought to be incompatible till this ‘supergroup’ has arrived on the scene.

    Khalab’s tight and dark rhythms meet sweetened melodies and strings by Kasai Allstars blending with congotronics distortions in the original version.
    The remix is entrusted to another amazing Crammed Discs project: Nihiloxica (represented here by Spooky-J & pq), a group of Ugandan percussionists and two UK producers who sound like Aphex Twin on a study trip in Kampala. Their rework is a rhythmic vortex typical of their style and promises to turn dance floors worldwide upside down.

    If you are keen on Khalab’s sound, Crammed catalogue, Nyege Nyege vibes, and those sound syntheses representing the now of music and society in which we live, you cannot miss this!

    Speaking of contemporaneity, the release’s artwork is developed by the young Milan-based artist Viola Masella applying advanced A.I. techniques to visual creativity.

    These are presented by Space Echo Records in a 12″ vinyl release titled Ancestral EP.

    Ancestral and Karimabao create mystical, hypnotic atmospheres through an irresistible blend of African rhythmic elements and contemporary, pulsating electronic sounds—a unique fusion tailor-made for the most refined dancefloors.

    Africa Carnival delivers an Afrobeat groove that captures the vibrant essence of Brazilian spirit, subtly infused with touches of jazz and funk. Mario Pappalardo’s masterful performance on keyboards evokes the iconic Jazz Carnival by José Roberto Bertrami of Azymuth.

    Closing the EP is Sacred Club—a compelling invitation to dance and clap along. Geared toward more intimate dancefloors, it weaves micro-elements of African mysticism and sacredness into its sonic fabric.

    Enjoy the journey!

    OSA 2.3 Reliving Lucania

    ALBUM OSA SESSION BY HYPERJAZZ

    OSA 2.3 Reliving Lucania is an original Open Sound production, published by Hyperjazz Records. This performance was recorded live surrounded by the rock walls of Casa Cava in Matera on July 6, 2023, as the inaugural event of the 2023 edition of the Open Sound Festival.

    DIGITAL

    The first issue of a series, it transports the listener into a sonic kaleidoscope smelling of roots, landscapes, rituals, unknown.

    On side A, Maxwell Simons – selected with the international call OSA 2023 Reliving Lucania – and Rocco Rampino as guest producer, worked together during the artistic residency in Basilicata under the supervision of the Artistic Director Alioscia Bisceglia.

    The performance is also featured by the Lucanian musician Daniela Ippolito with the harp, moving between Arbëreshë voices, percussions, drum ‘n’ bass echoes, relaxed and obsessive moments which envelop the listener in a flow of movement and imagination.

    A combination of tradition and future that re-emerges the power of an aesthetic rooted in the Lucanian territory.
    On the B side, Maxwell Simons reworked the sound material from the residency. Jazzy sounds blend with powerful bass groove and footwork, for an overall fresh and deeply engaging sound.

    BEIRUT BEATS 01

    ALBUM BEIRUT BEATS BY HYPERJAZZ

    With its ancient roots coming from the Mediterranean Sea as from the Middle East, Beirut is full of baffling contradictions and deep scars; its character blends the sophisticated and cosmopolitan with strong beliefs and sectarian divisions.

    BUY

    DIGITAL

    As one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, it can be an overwhelming place, almost trapped in an eternal cycle of destruction and rebirth. A city known nowadays for its intense nightlife, where you are likely to hear Middle Eastern classical or folk music and global avant-garde trends.

    Within this framework, Beirut Beats makes use of electronic synthesis as well as some acoustic instruments from the Mediterranean and Arabic folk traditions.

    The distinctive sound of the buzuq – an instrument used by nomadic peoples throughout the Middle East – is easy to identify. The non-Western tuning and tonal division are weaved into urban futurism.

    The result synthesises the emotional experience of living the Lebanese capital, where the traditional Middle Eastern and North African rhythms are stylized to address the cutting-edge demands of contemporary and future Club Culture.

    The album is the result of a serendipitous collaboration between Derane and Salvo—two artists brought together by chance, yet united by a shared artistic vision.

    Together, they committed themselves to creating a body of work that strikes a delicate balance between lyrics, melody, and production.

    This is music that goes beyond entertainment; it’s an experience meant to be remembered—something that stays with the listener long after the final note fades, touching both spirit and soul.
    This is, without a doubt, Music From the Heart.

    At the core of the album’s sonic identity is GO.SOUL.MAP., a pseudonym that conceals one of the most authentic and enduring talents from Catania’s vibrant music scene.

    While this may be his debut under the GO.SOUL.MAP. moniker, the artist behind it has been an influential figure in the city’s underground culture for over a decade, contributing under various names and in diverse roles.

    His artistry extends beyond technical skill—it’s rooted in a profound sensitivity and an intuitive grasp of music’s emotional power.

    His musical foundation is classical—starting with piano as a child—but from there, his path radiated outward like ripples on water. He was soon drawn to synthesizers, drum machines, and the tactile exploration of samples and studio equipment.

    His relationship with music has always been fluid, open-minded, and deeply personal.

    Peacefull Sound For Broken Minds is an ambitious and emotionally resonant debut. It carries a sound that is both sensual and introspective—a fusion of pop, soul, urban, and experimental influences. It comfortably straddles the line between underground grit and mainstream appeal, not by design, but by natural evolution. This is not music calculated to fit a mold—it’s music that emerges from emotional honesty, artistic curiosity, and an almost naïve fearlessness.

    The album is, at its core, about the pursuit of inner peace. But rather than offer easy answers or uplifting clichés, it focuses on the search—the fall, the struggle, the raw vulnerability. Its strength lies in its openness, its refusal to shy away from emotional complexity. And it does all this with both stylistic flair and technical control. Each track is sculpted with care, and every sonic choice contributes to a cohesive therapeutic experience.

    From the moment the first notes of “Fall Into The Flame” echo through the speakers, the tone is set: intimate, immersive, and quietly powerful. That same emotional gravity flows through tracks like “I Am Believe,”

    WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOUR MIND

    SPACE ECHO RETURNS WITH A DOUBLE FUNK-FUELED MESSAGE:
    ‘WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOUR MIND’ & AGOSTA’S REMIX OF ‘ECHOES OF AFRICA’

    As anticipation grows for The Invisible Session’s next album, they make a powerful comeback on Space Echo Records with the release of their new single “What’s Wrong with Your Mind,” a funk anthem addressing the warring forces that destabilize lives and communities.

    Merging infectious funk rhythms with downtempo grooves, “What’s Wrong With Your Mind” is both a sonic thrill and a call for introspection. The track’s pulsating energy is amplified by the legendary Gianluca Petrella, whose trombone performance channels raw, Fred Wesley-style funk. Bold choral arrangements in the spirit of 1970s funk collectives drive the message home, creating an immersive experience that moves both the body and the conscience. This is more than just music—it’s a protest in rhythm, a challenge to divisive ideologies, and an invitation to rethink our place in a fractured world.

    Paired with the single is a standout remix by Agosta of “Mother Forgive Us”, taken from The Invisible Session’s acclaimed previous album Echoes of Africa. In Agosta’s hands, the track is transformed into a futuristic afro-funk voyage—an electrifying blend of tribal percussion, deep electronic textures, and ancestral African influences. This remix pulses with energy, balancing hypnotic rhythms with soaring synths and driving basslines, bridging tradition and innovation with fearless creativity.

    The remix also delivers a powerful lyrical message: “Mother Earth, forgive us for what we have not done and are not doing.” It’s a moving appeal that speaks to the climate crisis and the alienation from nature in modern society. Part lament, part call to action, the track urges awareness, connection, and change.
