Tony & the Kings - Son Con Soul / Jibaro
Tony & the Kings - Son Con Soul / Jibaro
Miami Latin Soul band, Tony & the Kings, release their second record on Tiki Tumbao featuring two original compositions, "Son Con Soul / Jibaro".
“Son Con Soul” is a cinematic experience transporting your ears to Havana Cuba. Tony & the Kings honor their Cuban and Puerto Rican roots with this modern tropical arrangement. “Son Con Soul” says it all in its name.
"Jibaro" refers to the original settlers of Puerto Rico, self-reliant farmers and mountain men who worked to sustain the land. In this song Tony reconnects with his ancestural roots and thus regaining his identity as man of the land, Boricua.
The Glades - The Glades LP
The Glades - The Glades
Guitarist Addison Rifkind and drummer Michael Duffy, hailing from California via Studio City, LA and NYC’s Adam Scone on the Hammond organ, have come together to create something special. This is modern jazz. Reverential without nostalgia, tropical without appropriation, groovy and swinging without sounding forced. I never figured out where the jazz went in Miami, but I’m glad to know that with The Glades, it is here now and is some of the best I’ve heard in a long time.

The Glades - Cash Only / Cool Out
The Glades is a Soul Jazz Organ Trio consisting of Guitarist Addison Rifkind, Organist Adam Scone, and Michael Duffy on Drums and Percussion.
The group started collaborating shortly after Addison and Duffy moved to Miami from Los Angeles. Scone had been active in the South Florida music scene for a few years before Addison and Duffy arrived.What began as a monthly hangout and music workshop at Adam Scone’s home studio quickly turned into an entire album of songs.
The A side became “Cash Only,” a song inspired by a late night at Mac’s Club Deuce in Miami’s South Beach neighborhood. If you know, you know. The B side, “Cool Out,” is a chill swinging guitar riff that Addison brought into a session. Once Scone blessed the song with Organ and Duffy laid down some solid Drums and Percussion, a solid slow jam classic was created. Now streaming on all major platforms. Please spin it on your turntable or stream it on your phone to show your support.

tiny.blips - blame the ghost / NOW TIME (ft. Digo)
blame the ghost / NOW TIME is the A / B side single release by tiny.blips on Tiki Tumbao Records. blips' dreamy lo-fi r&b sound on, blame the ghost is so smooth it lays down like butter on warm toast. Airy like the open sky but warm and comfy like a summer breeze off the ocean; you will immediately see anyone is ears length start to slow churns, engaging the hips to drop down into a grind.
While the satisfying grooves of NOW TIME play like summertime in the city. Like a 90s boombox blasting at the park on top of a full cooler engulfed in the smoke from the grill. On this track, tiny.blips is joined by Digo on the bass and guitar, whose smooth and melodic lines iron out the groove enhancing the good feeling. Once heard, these tracks stays on repeat.

Soul Vaccinators - What's Good / Gator Bait
The Miami-based Soul Vaccinators present their own take on soul-jazz and groove records. Their gritty-analog sound continues the colorful tradition of South Florida soul music with a modern flair and sensibility. Led by guitarist Addison Rifkind and drummer Eddie Garcia Jr., the group originally formed at a monthly residency at The Anderson in North Miami. Addison and Eddie connected instantly on the bandstand with a similar concept for soulful playing. These weekly performances on the club scene created a determination to bring authentic soul music back to Miami. They partnered with Tiki Tumbao to bring it in the form of these vinyl records.

Tony & the Kings - Piropo / Son Del Barrio
Tony & the Kings' debut single, “Piropo” is a playful latin soul, boogaloo song that features Tony calling out his love for his girl. This is sure to be a dance floor favorite at your local funk and soul party. The b side, “Son Del Barrio” is a latin psych-funk keeper with driving horns and a steady beat. This song is a good reminder why you always need to check the b sides.
