Bastard Jazz was founded by two friends and likeminded individuals, Aaron Schultz (DJ DRM) of Brooklyn, NY and Jay Marley of Orlando, Florida in 2001.
Always striving for change and looking towards the next horizon, Bastard Jazz has made it's mark by not only developing it's roster of artists, but also culminating remixes to round out our 12"s from a broad array of producers whose music we love - Q-Burn's Abstract Message, Protassov, Hint, Jon Kennedy, Adventure Time (Frosty + Daedelus), Apeanaut, Dr. Rubberfunk, Ed Royal + Enne, Zeb, Nickodemus, and the Dub Nomads have all shared in our musical vision alongside our core artists.
Sometimes downtempo, sometimes organic breakbeats with both feet firmly on the dancefloor, generally dub influenced, and always fresh..that's pretty much what we do.
Bastard Jazz is always open to receiving demos from artists who are on the same wavelength we are. If you'd like to hit us off with something, please go to the contact page and drop us a line. We strongly believe in open communication and constructive criticism between artists struggling to make something happen, therefore, all submissions will receive a response.
