We have been trying to combine our roots from jazz orientated sample based hip hop with our approach working without samples over the last year and combine these different styles to a jazzy, soulful and funky EP.
B-Side & Tesk
THE RELEASE
Nov 23rd, 2023 - "Fume" ft FLKS
Dec 14th, 2023 - Lush Blend EP
German beatmaking veterans B-Side & Tesk make a comeback to Stereofox Records after their acclaimed take me to nowhere EP in 2022.
The new 5-song installment is called Lush Blend and, true to its name, it consists of warm compositions fusing jazz melodies, raw beatwork & groovy basslines that will surely captivate your senses.
The visual identity of the release is done in a ’90s magazine aesthetic, with poems/quotes about our relationship to nature. Lush Blend EP is about people speedrunning life without seeing the beauty – and hence, these 5 songs offer a temporary escape, a place for your head to rest.
The EP features 2 more talents, NYC producer pnkcitè on the 1st single “Light Air” & Berlin-based bassplayer & producer FLKS on the 2nd single “Fume”.

TESK
TESK's musical journey traces its roots back to the early days of graffiti, where they and their close-knit group of friends embarked on a creative adventure. Through countless spray-painted nights and shared experiences, their bond grew stronger, and so did their artistic talents. As their graffiti artistry flourished, the idea to form a rap crew began to take shape, marking the inception of TESK's path in the world of music.
