Stereo Deluxe is proud to present Mr. David Kakon aka Jaffa. Discovered by Nude Recordings (Canada) we will take care of this unique artist exclusively for europe…and if you check out his material…you know why! David was born in Montreal 1976, has an honours degreee in Pure Mathematics, 15 years of classical piano training behind him and besides that became a complete organ maniac, collecting vintage keyboards and producing his own music on such instruments and machines as the Fender Rhodes, Moog MultiMoog, Roland Alpha-Juno2, Waldorf Pulse, Hammond B3, Hohner Clavinet and Wurlitzer EP. Tracks that embody layers of sexy, sleazy chords and riffs over chunky beats and basslines. Laid back rhythms along side screaming Hammond organs, Jaffa’s tracks are inspired by gifted artists as Taj Mahal, Ramsey Lewis, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Mose Allison, John Coltrane, Bill Evans and BookerT.Jones. David himself describes his sound as “a sort of Fat Albert meets Emmanuelle on a beach in a Tahiti type thing”…

So watch out for Jaffa’s stunning debut, which goes far beyond lounge or any trends in today’s electronic music. A record to stand the test of time, a sexy and melodic journey through the musical imagination of a truly genius.
