Rocksteady Disco is extremely excited to release this multi-faceted EP from one of American dance music’s most prolific musical minds: JKriv. First up, is “Aguaxirê”— a deep Afro-Brazilian house cut in praise of the Yoruban orisha Oya. Full of moody Detroit-style pads, driving percussion, acid basslines, live trumpet (performed by Escort mainstay Nathan Warner), and an expertly plucked sample, this 9 minute odyssey is crafted for ecstatic dance floor use. Moving to the B side, we hear J rework the música popular brasileira classic “Ive Brussel” into a pool-side day party anthem, complete with a full overdub of the bassline by J with his Fender Jazz bass. Following that is a traditional deejay edit of “Deep Cove View”, a breezy and chilled out Brazilian jazz fusion cut with plenty of piano, slap bass, and vocal scatting. J flexes his production, performance, and arrangement prowess here, delivering 3 tracks ready for the party, the after hours, or the after-after hours.
"Now this is a match made in music heaven. Aguaxirê is a burner and when that acid comes in... oof. Can’t wait to see this work a dancefloor. Loving the smoothouts on the flip too." -Bamboozle aka Eli Soul Clap

Fantastically upbeat downtempo album. Afterlife uses the Let's Go Crazy samples expertly, yet the added instrumentation and composition lends the track life of its own. Pool is a killer electro track with a forward punching groove that always keeps you guessing where it's headed. A++ K Priest
