TUXEDO (MAYER HAWTHORNE & JAKE ONE) - Tuxedo - VINYL LP

Tuxedo, Los Angeles-based recording artist Mayer Hawthorne and Seattle-based producer Jake One, has been steadily making a name for themselves over the past five years, standing at the forefront of a new wave of gangster boogie - one that owes as much to G-funk as P-funk. This is the territory of pre- and post-hydraulic low riders a mélange of Cali boom-bap, analog synth bass and elegant disco that resonates truth and authenticity in an era where so many are faking the funk. Their third album, Tuxedo III, will be released on 7/19/19.

Milda and Nijola, forgotten works by Stanislaw Moniuszko, whose content is based on Lithuanian mythological motifs, are a unique continuation of the cantata style and form in the Polish music. They are extremely successful pieces, and the shortness of their popularity can be probably explained only with the words of the author of the libretto of Milda, Józef Ignacy Kraszewski. If our critics were able to recognise Mr. Moniuszko's talent, we would not envy Germans songs by Schubert and Mendelssohn Bartholdy (...), better than Mr. Moniuszko only because they were lucky to be born and gain fame abroad. It seems unbelievable that these cantatas have not yet been available on album. In this context, the double- album of the Poznan Philharmonic is an invaluable contribution to restoring Moniuszko to his rightful place in the forefront of 19th-century European composers, not only operatic.

Double vinyl LP pressing including . After releasing their self-titled debut in 2015, Tuxedo (the joint project between Jake One and Mayer Hawthorne) has returned with their second full length. II is an eleven song offering that mixes elements of funk, soul, and dance music to deeply infections effect. Across the entire album, Jake and Mayer demonstrate their prowess as veterans of the aforementioned genres.
