After a hiatus from Jellyfish Recordings e.d.g.e returns with the first single “Chapter VI : The Chase” from the upcoming Hashbrown collaboration The Edgar Penwork Agenda.
Expect detailed story lines from the assignments of a secret agent. Stay tuned for more…..
“Shots fired in a high-speed, trying to peel back
AMG E-Class the color of Wheeljack
Phone ringing off the hook, blip on the radar
Rear view, see him load a clip in his AR
Both cars bulletproof, roof to fender
I heard he had a link to McManus and Fenster
Firearms dealer with a hidden agenda
Bugatti Veyron money hidden in a Sentra
Forgot that I’m a secret agent…
Edgar Penwork, I never knock when I enter
Trained by the Dark Blue Agents
Arts are Asian, guns German, the car swerving
One-way U-turn, shells burning nicks in the paint job
Igniting the paint chips
Reason for the chase? I took his connect down
Now I’m on the highway trying to deflect rounds
Shit, behind him, light flash…cops
First instinct I reached for the stash box
Twin 4-5s and a quarter of kush
Hidden by a laser where the transporter wouldn’t look
Tried to book me on manslaughter by the book
So I threw the book at the judge and then he was shook
8 passport work, flirting with the famous
Dangerous, cops trying to shoot at my assailant
Think they got a file from the Feds, no statement
You only find rats face down in the basement
Pulled a hard left on the exit
Followed by a hail of gunfire that could ricochet reckless
End it, car came with jet conversion
Slight levitation, now the rockets burning
Last thing I saw he crashed into a wall
Blood spilling from his jaw, handcuffed by the law
Gone with his files in a black briefcase
Pulp Fiction gold glow on my new clean slate
Found a hotel in the South of France
I put a satellite up and sent my Agent the plans…
Penwork over and out, I repeat, over and out.”

Polynesian Dream is a mix of lush layered samples and live instruments that marks the third instrumental release from the talented Canadian producer AstroLogical, while illustrating his advancement from his preceding albums Living Fossils and Far Far Away.
Unlike many current cut and paste styles common in the hip hop inspired instrumental landscape, AstroLogical uses his formal training to show a musical sense of melody and progression.
Elements of hip hop, jazz and ambient styles meet in dreamy grooves creating a loungy feel. Tracks are filled with Rhodes, thick bass lines and the use of his own vocals resulting in a distinct polished sound that AstroLogical can call his own.
Continuing with a steady pace of releases Polynesian Dream is the first of 2 EPs with the second, Flux EP due out November 2011.

GET “NAZZA” NOW
Slippery Elm, the emcee in cahoots with AstroLogical, has just released his first book with Swamp Lantern Books and it is available here at Jellyfish Recordings. The book includes the lyrics to “Milky Ways (And Other Galactic Phenomenon)”. You can get the book alone or grab the book and limited edition CD together for 15 bucks!
Published in 2011 on the Summer Solstice, Nazza is Slippery Elm’s first book of poetry. With a deep sense for rhythm and the musicality of words, Slippery builds upon the inspirited, extemporaneous poetry of oral traditions, delivering outpourings of desire, magic, and passion, that make stars spin and flowers bloom. Floating under the Snake of Time, disappearing into otherworldly puddles, pan-piping in thunderstorms, facilitating weddings in old growth forests, blockading oil-tankers with guardians of the sea, feeling the Itch of poison industry canal-side in Amsterdam, voicing tree-house desire, inking your soul with a love tattoo, summoning the trees, singing the Songs of Crocus & song-of-songs passion outbursts through lion eyes, meditating on the seasons, canoeing across the stars, hurling messages beyond the ninth wave to far-off Love, natural Death, and years to come, it is Slippery Elm’s call for social change, and his energetic offering to the creative forces of the Universe. Included inside are the lyrics to his acclaimed jazz hip-hop album Milky Ways & Other Slippery Galactic Phenomena.
“Nazza is a collection filled with poems of sensuality and wildness cut with a sharp, urban edge. Primal, pagan, and ecstatic, they express a sense of place and the energy of youth. Here are poems to chant by firesides and read under cedars in the rain.”
— Erynn Rowan Laurie, author of Ogam: Weaving Word Wisdom

The latest EP from the Vancouver duo Slippery Elm & AstroLogical, “Concrete Honey”, has finally arrived here on Jellyfish Recordings for free download. As with their previous musical endeavor, “Milky Ways“, AstroLogical provides the musical backdrop for Slippery Elms’ poetic lyricism.
The title “Concrete Honey” balances two starkly contrasting images. This juxtaposition reflects the vibe that the two achieve with the album — urban, hard-hitting, raw, yet still smooth and organic. These beats are thick, syrupy, and golden. Their last project, Milky Ways, was a night time album. This album is about the Sun, plants blooming, vines snaking up brick walls, block parties, and summer time in Vancouver. Concrete Honey is the Nectar of the Metropolis.
Check out the video for the song "Then" from the album

Jellyfish Recordings is proud to present AstroLogical’s newest instrumental offering, “Far Far Away”.
“Far Far Away” is the sophomore album by Vancouver beatmaker and multi-instrumentalist AstroLogical, AKA Nate Drobner. Using samples, live instruments, and hiphop-based drum programming, AstroLogical has created a sonic psychedelic world. ‘Far Far Away’ is a melting pot of bouncy colourful grooves and dreamy soundscapes that pair nicely with afternoon smoke sessions and/or midnight ponderings.
Originally released on Bubblectro records, it is now being released here on Jellyfish Recordings on a pay what you like basis. Get it for free or donate to the artist to keep the music flowing.
