Back catalogue: Broken Beat/Nu Jazz/Nu Soul

Review: .In celebration of Tomaga's tenth anniversary, the 'Sleepy Jazz for Tired Cats' EP shows Tomaga's avant-garde sonic world in a refined, remastered format by Marta Salogni. Valentina Magaletti and Tom Relleen crafted Tomaga as a creative lab and this EP brims with the duo's raw, genre-defying ethos. The title track, 'Sleepy Jazz for Tired Cats', explores a droning, minimalist aesthetic with metallic instrumentation, inspired by the raw spontaneity of Congolese street music. Its slow, hypnotic rhythms evoke dark, psychedelic atmospheres, immersing listeners in its abstract yet entrancing flow. 'Sunday Ticket' captures an ancient, almost ritualistic essence with experimental collages that echo aboriginal sounds. Lastly, 'Platform Shoe' melds tribal and nu-jazz influences, forging a distinctly "spaced-out" sound that defies easy categorisation. Tomaga's relentless exploration and impact will have you on a journey that is both introspective and otherworldly.

Review:  Founded in 2013 by Valentina Magaletti and Tom Relleen, Tomaga was a creative experiment that pushed beyond conventional musical boundaries. Their sound, an intriguing fusion of industrial, jazz, psychedelia and minimalism, is characterised by its multi-instrumental approach. Rather than opting for complex abstractions, the duo's minimalist compositions evoke darkly psychedelic and surreal imagery, capturing the essence of unsettled dreams and subconscious thoughts. Futura Grotesk elevates their exploration further, yielding compositions that are hauntingly evocative and richly layered. This reissue celebrates a decade of innovation and artistic expression.
