Milky Ways is a revelation—an electric dream, and a succulent curse. It is the shared artistic vision of two Vancouver hip-hoppers questing to realize the dark spirit of space-lust, also known as nazza, in sound form. Celebrated producer & musician—AstroLogical, and emcee & published poet—Slippery Elm, have ventured deep into the black waters of their unconscious and emerged with a new jazz & poetry that is at once otherworldly, insurgent, and uniquely their own. Unlike previous creative endeavours as members of Vancouver hip-hop super-group Elekwent Folk, for this project Astro and Slippery have navigated away from their usual eclectic and carefree sound in favour of a highly stylized, focused, and specific vibe that permeates the entire album—start to finish. Twisting psychedelic word-images wrap nimbly around cosmic cushiony beats oozing with space-lust and the milk of all worlds, in a dazzling display of musicianship and lyricism. Here are two masters of their art who shaped and polished the rough coal of these songs till they glowed like a supernatural diamond. And they’re not alone; the album features collaborations with Vancouver vocalist Claire Mortifee, and saxophone player/editor of White Hot Magazine of Contemporary Art—Noah Becker.
If what they’re saying is true, and Astro really did produce this album in a two day beat-making binge, and Slippery really did get kidnapped from out his window by a giant black bird while enjoying a morning wake and bake, and if lightning really did breakout in Vancouver during the recording of this album—mid take, the result is a musical masterpiece designed to be enjoyed while on mushrooms, in a dark forest, or while sipping absinthe from a silver goblet in a leather chair by fireside. Regardless, whatever your listening preference, play this album at night.
Praise for Milky Ways:
“Style!” ~ Moka Only
“Sounds like you sendin peeps on a journey…I like this shit” – Self Jupiter of Freestyle Fellowship
“…a Slick Rick story in the twilight zone” ~ Scott Ramsay, CBC Literary Award Finalist 2009
“Moka Only Informed me of AstroLogicals exceptional powers in music…a man most worthy of high praise…” Noah Becker, Founder and Editor in Chief of White hot Magazine of Contemporary Art.

With recorded media ever present in our world today it becomes easier and easier to glance to the past for inspiration when in the creative mode. Where one hundred years ago one had to take advantage of oral tradition and first hand experience when accessing older styles of musical expression, today history is at our fingertips through exponentially advancing computer technology.
On “Living Fossils” AstroLogical brings the future and the past together to form a shining example of present day musicianship.Vancouver multi-instrumentalist and producer/emcee AstroLogical has woven together a collection of instrumentals that illustrate a sense of fine tuned composition unrivaled in the vancouver hip hop production scene today. Complex and deeply layered instrumentation transition seamlessly from track to track while staying virtually free of repetitive hip hop production cliches and predictable rhythm elements. Old dusty samples have been brushed off and presented in their shiny new glory along side live bass lines and software to create a past/future hybrid worthy of praise.

Jellyfish recordings is proud to present “Regularly Scheduled Program” the latest effort from Vancouver based lyricist and beatmaker EDGE. With this EP EDGE has entirely written and produced one of this years best canadian hip hop offerings yet.
A message from EDGE :
“Finally finished what I started and planned to have out a month and a half ago…..
Feels good. Along with the life changing experience of my Mia’s birth, I have finally finished a project that is 100% me. I wrote, produced, recorded and even mixed (learning from my big bro Religion, of course!) most of this project. Kevin Nottingham.com has fully supported my music since the beginning of the year, and I appreciate the exposure they are helping me achieve in the U.S. market through their popular blog. I hope you enjoy these songs, this EP is first in a series of 8….Thank you for the support!!”
