Diving head first into his lifelong love affair with jazz music (Toribio is a Berklee Graduate) , the \"Bring Dat Jazz EP\" is a direct result of the intersection of Jazz and Dance music, which can be seen time and time again in his DJ sets.\nThings kick off with \"Jazz Misconduct\", a mid tempo funk burner already in DJ Spinna \u0026amp; Danny Krivit's rotation with a bumping bassline, vibey piano chords and a soulful organ solo in Toribio's reformatting of a track from acclaimed Tenor sax player Joshua Redman. Next up is an official edit of Sam Gendel \u0026amp; Jacob Mann's \"Dr.T\" - maintaining the spirit of the original, Toribio beefs up the four on the floor, adds swung drums and accentuates the synth lines, while adding his own analog flourishes to the original. On the flip, \"Bumples\" draws from saxophonist Chris Potter with knockin jazz drums, syncopated claps, frantic horns and an acid line making it's way in towards the end. Rounding off the EP is an unexpected left turn in \"My Humps (So Real)\" - Toribio takes the completely overlooked acoustic piano and vocal chant ending of yes, that notorious track \u0026amp; brings in an understated drum break, twisting synth lines and his own voice to create a heavenly dancefloor stew out of ingredients no one had thought to use. Another direct show of the boundless creativity from the man affectionately known as 'Papi' throughout the NYC scene.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BDA Records","offers":[{"title":"Black 12\"","offer_id":50421659107659,"sku":"2223120","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_6193d512_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726759292"},{"product_id":"tongue-in-cheeks-ep","title":"Tongue In Cheeks EP","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf the name of this collection of traxxxoffends you, move on—there's no hope for you here. If,on the other hand, Toribio's salacious fun-pun cracked your cool exterior, here's an introductionto a set of bangers that helps exemplify New York's increasingly exuberant dancefloor, and what producer\/DJ Cesar Toribio brings to it. His is a ribald, rhythmic take on dance music,neither for the weak of musical character (purists need not apply) nor for the weak of ass (-shaking). In fact, the proof is right there, in Toribio's label's and monthly party's name: Bring DatAss (BDA). This command is not optional, but *the* key ingredient for a good time.The four tracks Toribio has created for \"Tongue In Cheeks,\" BDA's first release, comprise ahorny melting pot of tribal house and Linn-drum  plug-ins,minimalist synth textures and basslines, hi-hats reminiscent of electro and freestyle classics, some of which are infused with New York's Latin club history and futures.\nThe lead-off track, \"No Pare,\" is based on theproducer's 808-driven reinvention of the call-and-response hook from Proyecto Uno's 1993merengue-house smash \"El Tiburón,\" marking the first time the group has ever cleared asample of this Nuyodominican classic. We predict that \"No Pare\" will be a Fall 2023 monster.\"Cimarron Palace\" may embrace Peoria's Bacardi drums, while \"Anti Narcoleptic\" is a hyper-hectic patch-heavy take on Berlin minimalism. But they both re-emerge in New York's funk. Aguest vocal appearance by The Illustrious Blacks also shows the breadth of Toribio's regard forthelocal community, especially how the Neo-Afro-Futuristic-Psychedelic-Surrealistic-HippysMonstah Black and Manchildblack infuse a dollop of booty into \"Work Dat Shit.\" There's really no unifying formula, but if there was, it would be: Make it sexy. Make it(consensually) grindy.Make it funny to the point of ridiculous but so funky that the laughter becomes more fuel to thejoyous momentum propelling the movement. Then make it home—or try to.\n\nCesar Toribio's home is, originally Tampa—and the DR, wherehe'd spend summers withfamily. He was a drum-corps prodigy who went to Berklee to become a jazz drummer and more like Gil Evans. He idolized Miles' orchestral arranger's work as much as he did Dilla's beats, butthen Cesar discovered house music, so it was a wrap. The 2021 band album Toribio madeunder the name Conclave—which included his sister Sharin and musicians from such greatprojects as Standing On the Corner, No Regular Play and Irreversible Entanglements—unearthed the work of a singer-songwriter-arranger-producer of immeasurably nuanced, soulfuljazz-house music. But when Toribio started DJing more and more, he decided to listen to thedevil on his shoulder who told him to Bring Dat Ass. As Cesar damn-well knows, it's the devilwho has the better jokes and holds the better parties, so his ears perked up. \"Tongue in Cheeks\" is the music Toribio says he made to play at these parties, because he can't find it anywhere else. It's hard to disagree\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BDA Records","offers":[{"title":"12\"","offer_id":50432198410571,"sku":"2148625","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_52f7b073_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726865165"},{"product_id":"daylight-10","title":"Daylight","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter the worldwide success of Toribio's \"Bring Dat Jazz\" 12\", selling over 1K units worldwide - the mainstay NYC producer returns with another record on his own BDA Imprint (in collaboration with A-Trak and Chromeo's label Juliet) for a special 12\" with a Crackzat remix. \"Daylight\" is a warm, uplifting deep house jam with skippy beats, warm rhodes, bass and percussion. Vocals come from Toribio's sister Sharin with an uplifting message referencing classic 90s house lyricism. Originally released digitally in 2024, the raw humility of that song won the hearts of listeners the world over, with nods from Resident Advisor and Spotify's coveted Pollen playlist.\nComing in next on the 12\", the always on Crackazat rackazat turns up the musicality even further, with cascading pianos and strings that anchor the emotion of \"Daylight\", with a sly bassline nod to Speed Garage sounds. Another hit from Bristol's masterful jazz-house expert. Also included on the 12\" is Toribio's stripped down, deep-in the groove Alternate Mix.\nToribio is a warm and gregarious mainstay in New York's rich club scene. Through his own series of BDA (Bring Dat Ass) parties, his residency at The Lot, and regular appearances on lineups alongside Danny Krivit, Francois K, Love Injection, DJ Seinfeld, Eli Escobar \u0026amp; more, he's built a loyal following that shares his love for soulful, percussive house music. The jazz-trained multi-instrumentalist has a special treat for his inaugural release with Juliet Records: a collaboration with his actual sister Sharin on vocals. \"Daylight\" is a warm, uplifting jam whose skippy beats will lift you up and fill you with hope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BDA Records","offers":[{"title":"Black 12\"","offer_id":51003269939531,"sku":"2237062","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_6dcb8871_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1734954316"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/toribio.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
