Everytime (3:26)
Everytime (feat John Robinson - Pat Van Dyke remix) (4:07)
Review: 'Everytime' is the first single off the new album by Lisa Decker and Nautilus. It came about after the label head wondered how Lisa's songs would sound if Japanese jazz trio Nautilus arranged some of them. They have, and here are the results, a very personal new single off a great new album. 'Everytime' is tieless funk with a super sweet and innocent vocal over crisp drums. On the flip is a remix that takes it in new directions with Pat Van Dyke, a longtime known producer and multi-instrumentalist from New Jersey, at the helm. He brings good time horn led sounds with a guest appearance by Brooklyn based lyricist John Robinson.

Lisa Decker & SaturnVybz - "Love & Hope" (4:42)
Lisa Decker & Nautilus - "Summer Child" (4:21)
Review: Lisa Decker makes a return with two new singles here that are taken from her upcoming album which is due in May of this year. It comes two years after her debut with the Japanese jazz trio Nautilus and marks something of a conceptual shift in her sound. 'Love & Hope' finds her turn in a stylish jazz vocal with funky bass loops and organic drums and percussion that straddle many different genres. 'Summer Child' then sinks into a nice smooth jazz-funk vibe with soft focus chords bringing a touch of class to her breezy vocals.

Part Time Lover
Cat: URDC 20. Rel: 12 Aug 21
Part Time Lover (feat Ayaca) (4:38)
Sweet Love Of Mine (4:19)
Review: Japanese jazz-funk revivalists Nautilus have been putting out loads of music this year. Some are reissues of their finest back catalogue moments but this one is a new one. It is, per their usual MO, a cover of a stone-cold classic. But in their hands 'Part Time Lover' - originally penned by Stevie Wonder - becomes more silky and seductive with its smooth flowing drums and chords. 'Sweet Love Of Mine' on the flip is a cover of a Woody Shaw tune and is a mid-tempo jazz-funk jam lead by its busy keys work. Keep your eyes peeled for a new full-length from the band that is due on To & On Music any time now.

Solitude (4:31)
Review: Here's something new from one of Japan's leading nu jazz outfits Nautilus. Already seriously accomplished across their back catalogue, on this occasion they chose to tackle some evergreen jazz standards and give them a crisp modern lick. From Herbie Hancock's 'The Eye Of The Hurricane' to Bobby Hutcherson's 'Little B's Poem' plus pieces from Billy Taylor, Duke Ellington and more, the band's signature sound is all over the renditions (check the super funky slap bass coursing through the Hutcherson cover) but you can hear the original material coming through in all the right ways.

Life
Life (7")
Cat: URDC 115. Rel: 21 Aug 24
Life (feat Emi Tawata) (3:58)
Master Blaster (Jammin') (4:35)
Review: New-gen rare groove band Nautilus, operating out of Japan, deliver their latest 7" record, 'Life'. Just two crisp, piquant, fresh, and bubbly uncorkings in sound - 'Life', featuring vocalist Emi Tawata, and the instrumental 'Master Blaster'- are here heard sprayed like buckshot across the stereo system. The former is a candid admission by Tawata of her fear of the dark and ghosts, one which compels the listener to ponder the song's spiritual metaphor - "I'd rather have a piece of toast, watch the evening news" being the lyric of note - while the latter is a comparatively muted four-to-the-floor funk inflammation, held together by a phat but tricksy drum line and overgirding Rhodes.

What You Won't Do For Love (feat Ryuto Kasahara - Muro re-edit) (4:44)
Love Theme From Sparticus (Kenichiro Nishihara remix) (3:07)
Review: Japanese jazz, funk and rare groove sensations Nautilus share their latest cover version, this time of Bobby Caldwell's 'What You Won't Do For Love'. This version stars Toshiyuki Saki on guest drums and vocalist Ruto Kasahara on vocals, bringing a digressional arc to Nautilus' usual sound. On the flip comes another rerub, this time of Nautilus' own 'Love Theme From Spartacus', from their latest album, remixed by producer Kenichiro Nishihara, which incorporates a light-hearted and feathery jazz-hop verve.

Wonderwall

Wonderwall (feat Ray Yamada) (4:39)
Through The Night (4:14)
Review: Hey everybody, here's... Nautilus! This prolific contemporary jazz trio are at the top of their game. Regular contributors to their patrons Urban Discos and Oonops Drops, their repertoire extends to everything from full-length EPs' and albums' worths of original material to one-off guilty pleasure covers. This new rendition of Oasis' 'Wonderwall' definitely falls into the latter category. This slick new version abounds in gut-grasping major chords and spine-tingling drum brush caresses, and features passionately candid yet no less elegant vocals by Ray Yamaoda. On the B comes the comparatively funky knockout and jazz original, 'Through The Night'.

Why I Came To California (feat Eki Shola & Denise M'Baye) (4:05)
What You Won't Do For Love (feat Ryuto Kasahara - Soul Supreme remix) (4:04)
Review: Nautilus brings smooth grooves with 'Why I Came To California' on Oonops Drops. Side-1's title track features Eki Shola and Denise M'Baye, blending classy funk, soul, and pop into a sophisticated jam. The song shines with its elegant piano and seamless jam section, offering a timeless vibe. On Side-2, Ryuto Kasahara's Soul Supreme remix of 'What You Won't Do For Love' revitalises the classic funk tune. The remix retains the original's charm while injecting a fresh, soulful energy. Nautilus delivers a stylish and heartfelt homage to funk, making this a hot 7" for fans of the genre.

Georgy Porgy (feat John Turrell & Toni-L) (4:06)
Let's Stay Together (feat Keyco) (4:49)
Review: Japanese jazz masters Nautilus strike back again with their first release of 2024, 'Georgy Porgy', a special label collaboration between Oonops Drops and their Japanese label Urban Discos (Diskunion). The title number is a cover version of the yacht rock classic 'Georgy Porgy', with Nautilus' version heard performed alongside UK-based vocalist songwriter and vocalist John Turrell, one half of Smoove & Turrell, and German legend Toni-L. Theirs is a slick and maximised rendition. On the flipside is a similar classic versioning; a sweet cover version of Al Green's 'Let's Stay Together', albeit this time coming with the vocal talents of Japanese singer Keyco and brought with it a crisp, headroomy neo-soulful bent.

What You Won't Do For Love (feat Ryuto Kasahara - Soul Supreme remix) (4:05)
Review: Nautilus' second European tour is just kicking off and now, ahead of their new album Pacific Voyage, a special 7" single has emerged. This gem features a track that didn't make the album cut due to time constraints but now shines and has you wondering just how good the album. The A-side has a jazzy rendition of Leon Ware's soulful classic 'Why I Came To California,' sung by Californian vocalist Eki Shola and supported by Denise M'Baye. Their fresh vocals, combined with Nautilus' vibrant instrumentation, create a contemporary take on the original. The B-side features a funky remix of Bobby Caldwell's 'What You Won't Do For Love' by Soul Supreme that showcases rising Japanese star Ryuto Kasahara.

Captain Future Theme (4:26)
Captain Future Theme (Delfonic remix) (4:55)
Review: Broken beat legends Nautilus return with a futuristic teaser for their upcoming 2026 studio album, and on this evidence, it's going to be superb. The first single reimagines a legendary anime soundtrack with their signature groove and features Japanese singer and sanshin virtuoso Anna Sato, whose vocals elevate the track to a new dimension. The release is completed by Berlin-based DJ and producer Delfonic, a well-known disco and house don and label head, renowned for his deep club remixes and praised by Gilles Peterson. Delfonic adds a magical touch with heavy beats that come with plenty of lavish synth work.

Caught Up (4:23)
Caught Up (Grooveman Spot remix) (4:08)
Review: We've become accustomed to hearing Nautilus offer-up authentic, Hammond-rich jazz-funk of the sort associated with such 1970s titans of the genre as Lonnie Liston Smith, Jimmy McGriff, Jimmy Smith and Herbie Hancock. On 'Caught Up', the flip the script, recruiting vocalist Emi Tawata to help conjure up a wonderfully starry, warming, organic and mood-enhancing slab of R&B-influenced modern soul. Their Rhodes-laden (and genuinely inspired) original mix comes accompanied by an alternative take from Jazzy Sport regular Grooveman Spot, who brilliantly re-imagines the song as a squelchy, synth-laden slab of slipped soul rich in colourful electronics, bold electronic bass and crunchy machine beats.

I Want You (4:49)
It's A Shame (4:28)
Review: Japanese rare groove and jazz-funk revivalists Nautilus rarely put a foot wrong, especially when delivering covers of classic cuts. It's that mode they're in on this alluring seven-inch single, which features fellow Japanese artist Hanah Spring on lead vocals. She's in prime form on A-side Marvin Gaye cover 'We Want You', a much-loved song that the trio has turned into a spacey, seductive slab of jazz-funk/soul fusion. Spring's vocals are arguably even better on the flipside cover of the Spinners' 'It's a Shame', which is successfully re-imagined as a glassy-eyed fusion of languid jazz-funk and neo-soul.

Nautilus - "Move On Up" (feat Mizuki Kamata) (4:22)
Mizuki Kamata - "Track 2" (feat Nautilus) (4:18)
Review: Nautilus are a Japanese band named after the iconic Bob James song, which also tells you a lot about their style - which is a mix of modern rare groove that also embodies elements of jazz, funk, disco, soul and hip hop. In just five years they have built up a solid global fan base and this new single explains why. 'Move On Up' (feat Mizuki Kamata) is both filled with golden era acid jazz goodness, but also slick modern jazz tinged grooves that fit right in with the contemporary landscape. ON the flip, 'Track 2' is more slow and late night, a tender basement jam for cuddly dancing.

Review: Japanese jazz trio Nautilus (named of course after Bob James' 1974 fusion classic) are also high-quality rare groove merchants and super sweet and smooth fusion sounds. They have been prolific again this year with somewhere around six new releases and now this welcome Revival album. It comes on both CD and vinyl and is a fine showcase of their sounds which manages to be both timeless and classic as well as contemporary in execution. Many of this year's singles feature here alongside some other treats.

Review: Nautilus are one of the most prominent outfits out right now to embody the rare groove scene. Here the three-piece demonstrate their lesser-spotted musical spectacularity with a sun-soaked, serotonin-packed new record. A perfect introduction to the band's craft, which spans both covers and originals, we've first Oasis with a version of 'Wonderwall', followed by honourable takes on Thelonious Monk and Yusef Lateef, and then the Nautilus originals 'Overflowing' and 'Cosmic Maze'. All tracks feature the spangling voices of Emi Tawata and Rayamada, each of whom compliment the keyed, vocoder-steeped, and abundant playing of Toshiyuki Sasaki, Shigeki Umezawa and Daisuke Takeuchi.

It's a breezy summertime soundtrack that blends sunny Yacht Rock with a hint of cool 80s City Pop as the trio reinterprets classic hits from this era and add fresh spins to songs like Bobby Caldwell's 'What You Won't Do For Love' and Toto's 'Georgy Porgy.' The album also features tracks from artists like Donald Fagen, Michael McDonald, Shuggie Otis, Nohelani Cypriano, and Toshiki Kadomatsu, all given the special Nautilus treatment.

Review: Japanese jazz fusion trio Nautilus present one of seemingly many new full-length records, Pacific Voyage: a starry, late-summer opus touching on yacht rock and 80s city pop. Breaking from their sublimely variable EP-craft (instrumental four-trackers, one-off covers of pop songs, etc.) Pacific Voyage follows a long thread of inspirations, reinterpreting many of the classics of the city pop era that decisively informed on their nonetheless jazz sound. Songs like the heavily sampled Bobby Caldwell song, 'What You Won't Do For Love', as well as Toto's 'Georgy Porgy', hear a completely new coat of paint and fresh interpretation translated into now and tomorrow.

Highlights include shimmering originals and inventive reinterpretations that once again cement Nautilus as a cornerstone of contemporary jazz-funk innovation.
