More Info:
Italian jazz beat maestros Koralle & Yawuh team up for their first collab album, Primo Quarto. The record is full of late-night tales about beats and jazz, and a musical friendship that manifested itself in an apartment building in Bologna after dark. Thirteen tracks were produced and mixed on the first floor (where Yawuh lives) and on the fourth floor (where Koralle's studio is located). With the help of an A-list of local musicians (Matteo Magnaterra, Piergiorgio Perrella, Giovanni Tamburini, Gianluca Arcesilai), three MCs from the US (Anti Lilly, Tiff The Gift, Physical Graffiti), and producer friends Saib (Berlin), Phlocalyst (Luz), and Lorenzo Morresi (Milan). It features artwork by Japanese illustrator Tomo Oriyama. "Primo Quarto is an Italian expression that refers to the first quarter of the moon," Koralle and Yawuh explain. "The lunar phase when the moon is half illuminated and half in shadow. For us, this moment captures the emotional core of the album: a balance between light and dark, the seen and the hidden, clarity and mystery." Artwork by Japanese illustrator Tomo Oriyama.
