Audio: Diesler - Tie Breakers (Stream) + Deepest Cuba (free MP3) // Jus Like Music



Diesler - Deepest Cuba (free Download:


A month ago we sent out an email, waxing lyrical about (long time friend of Jus Like Music) Diesler's fantastic new album Tie Breakers. Well... it's out right now on Social Beats / Unique Records!

Tie Breakers encompasses elements of nu-jazz, funk, hip-hop and electronica. Imagine the wild offspring of the more recent Mr Scruff material and the infectious horn and rhythm stylings of Quantic - then you'd be getting closer. But, comparisons aside, the UK's Diesler (AKA: Jonathan Radford) has managed to strike a golden balance between amazing instrumentation and dancefloor rhythms. Incredibly well constructed tracks that would be just at home on your headphones as they would in a club.

With a blend of instrumental and accompanied tracks, Tie Breakers features vocal contributions from Laura Vane (The Streets, MJ Cole, Laura Vane & The Vipertones), Double Yellow, Stee Downes (Sonar Kollectiv), Linda Bloemhard (Kraak & Smaak, The Jazzinvaders) and Stockholm's Carloline Ekstrom.

You can stream the entire album via Diesler's Soundcloud page
