Preview Black Jazz Consortium’s Upcoming RECODED EP
The longstanding NYC producer's latest effort collects a handful of reshapes and outtakes.
Longstanding NYC producer/DJ and head of the Soul People Music imprint, Black Jazz Consortium (a.k.a. Fred P) will soon release the first volume of his RECODED EP series, which will focus on “outtakes, alternate versions, and embellishments” of tracks from his Codes and Metaphors LP. Released in 2013, the Codes and Metaphors album began as a three-part EP series before eventually being compiled into a full-length effort; it appears the artist’s RECODED series may be on a similar path, with Part 1 set to drop soon, to be followed by a number of additional volumes, though Black Jazz Consortium is yet to share the exact details of those.
In the meantime, the respected East Coast selector—and former XLR8R podcast contributor—has shared a preview of RECODED‘s first installment; featuring four hypnotically soulful house constructions, the EP can be previewed below. At this point, no exact release date has been set for the record, but it is expected to land sometime in the coming weeks.
