Catalog Number: JMEP026 Color: Black Format: 12" UPC: 5050580832558 Dusty is back with As Above So Below, a new vinyl EP on Jazz & Milk that delves into vibrant deep house grooves crafted through his beloved MPC, fusing soulful warmth with boundary-pushing sounds. This release is a heady blend, featuring the raw vocal power and percussive rhythms of Ghanaian artist King Owusu (Jembaa Groove), who has shared stages with legends like Ebo Taylor and Pat Thomas. Henrique Gomide, from Brazil's Caixa Cubo, brings a touch of jazz finesse on the Rhodes piano, adding to the EP's eclectic flavor. Rooted in the ancient wisdom of "As Above So Below," Dusty unites genres in ways that feel natural, as though these disparate sounds have always spoken the same language. It's an EP that blurs the lines - where jazz, dub, West African rhythms, and house intertwine, creating a sound that's as introspective as it is designed to make you move. This release also comes at a significant moment for Jazz & Milk, as the label gears up to celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2025 - a testament to its enduring impact on the global music scene. In recent years, Dusty has been quietly shaping the scene, whether through curating the standout Community compilation, dropping the Twelve Inch Jams series, or producing Caixa Cubo's album Agora. As a passionate DJ on the global circuit, he brings his sound to audiences around the world - from Johannesburg to Istanbul, Manila to London - while also running the Jazz & Milk label nights in Munich and Cologne, collaborating with Sam Irl, and hosting a radio show on dublab.de. Now, with As Above So Below, he steps forward with a project that's a deep nod to his love for sample-driven production, enriched with live instrumentation and sounds that feel rooted yet forward-thinking.
