'97

A 1 track acid jazz single (2m 21s) — released December 7th 2023 on Jazz re:freshed

Jazz re:freshed presents the second single '97' by enigmatic producer duo Giants Are Real. The essence of '97' harps back to an earlier era in Hip Hop's evolution, inspired by iconic releases, such as Common's 'One Day It'll All Make Sense', Biggie's totemic 'Life After Death' and Slum Village with heavyweight album 'Fan-tas-tic Vol.1. The emblematic flow of Dilla is ever present serving as the backbone of the track. Following on from debut single 'Form & Formless' released in 2022, their sophomore track '97' is available across all digital streaming platforms via Jazz re:freshed on December 7th 2023.

Giants Are Real is a project by producer/keyboardist Sam Crowe (Lianne La Havas, Goldie, Vula, Native Dancer, Fatima, Mark Guiliana's Beat Music). Drawing on inspiration from Joe Zawinul, Dilla, Madlib, Herbie Hancock, 80's cartoons, and ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian mythology, Giants Are Real fuses elements collected over a lifetime of dreaming and collecting of textures. At the core is producer Sam Crowe and drummer Alexis Nunez but expect features and collabs with some of the most exciting and interesting creators on the globe as the project seeks to break new ground in the current scene of beat, jazz-infused, production typified by the cross-pollination of styles that makes London still one of the greatest cities on earth to create music.
