Red Astaire

Ear Candy: Instrumentals

Homegrown

Fredrik Lager / Freddie Cruger (Red Astaire) sadly passed away last year in June.. This 10 track LP of unreleased instrumentals in a full color jacket pays tribute to Freddie's musical legacy, and reminds us why this beatsmith was a favorite of Giles Peterson, Erykah Badu, Jazzy Jeff and so many more. It's a totally delicious selection of jazzy beatdown, moody head-nodders, smoked out car park jams and the odd bit of dub engineering for good measure. Gorgeous sleeve artwork designed by JJ Marley from Homegrown. Highly recommended!

Just Chillin' In The Spot

Homegrown

Repress of this amazing Freddie Cruger (AKA Red Astaire) album on his Homegrown Records imprint. As we mentioned last week, there's a slew of reissues coming from the recently deceased artist's estate; reminding us just how skilled a producer Red Astaire was, and what a hole he's left in the musical landscape...

As you would expect from a man who's released a plethora of tunes taking in a vast array of styles, "Just Chillin'" is a heady mix of hip hop, jazz, soul, funk, disco and just about everywhere else in-between. Yet, most importantly, it's all about the beats - which are infectious and upfront on every track. In total there are thirteen tracks, perfect for your back room, main room, front room or BBQ.
