Timo Lassy & Teppo Makynen

Helsinki-based duo Timo Lassy & Teppo Mäkynen present a new two-tracker on We Jazz Records and dive deep into different moods on this 7'' / digital single release. Lassy plays sax, Mäkynen (who is also known as ''Teddy Rok'' and via his Stance Brothers alias) plays drums and handles production duties. First up, we have ''Zomp'', a deliciously slow funk piece with enough groove to move mountains. On the flipside, ''Dark Magenta'' takes things leftfield with its tech-like rhythmic approach applied here onto an acoustic jazz quartet and hinting at Mäkynen's interest in electronic music.
