For the past few years Jeff has been hosting 'Playlist Retreat' at his home and studio, extending personal invites to his favorite DJs, producers, artists and musicians to spend a week sharing their passion for music with likeminded music lovers.
Attendees at the retreat have included the likes of Eric Roberson, Z-Trip, Young Guru and DJ Spinna in addition to a legion of younger talent. This year Jeff is hosting a cast of music makers which includes Kaidi Tatham, Eric Lau, Tall Black Guy, Skratch Bastid, among many others. Earlier this week Jeff took to Facebook to announce that at this year's session the assembled crew would be making an album that fans will be able to get their hands on in just over a week's time, stating "we are, in seven days, going to write, produce, record, mix and release a total project that you will be able to get one to two days after we finish". Of the concept behind the release Jeff went on to say "people don't make music that gives you goosebumps anymore ... the idea of the project is we are chasing goosebumps".
Much of the writing and recording is being live streamed via Jazzy Jeff's Facebook page. - via whosampled
