In Dirk Serries' April newsletter, he wrote: Time to unleash the news: we are proud to form a new alliance with Tonefloat in the form of a new label that will focus onto the current and future explorations in the freejazz and avantgarde. Tonefloat's A New Wave Of Jazz launches itself with their first 2 releases, more on this further down this newsletter. Secondly mark your agenda for the upcoming performances [of ...] the highly-anticipated Yodok III tour in June.

Tonefloat presents A New Wave Of Jazz: a contemporary approach to the DIY philosophy that grew Sun Ra's Saturn label and the underground cassette scene. Under the wings of Tonefloat, this little label will focus itself upon a series of limited vinyl editions on 240 copies, black vinyl, 180grams, in customized sleeves, numbered stickers, download code, insert booklet with extensive sleeve notes by (free)jazz connaisseur and critic Guy Peters. Featuring music that originates from a fascination for free jazz and all related and extracted. We're proudly launching the label with a pair of albums: Yodok III's debut album and The Void Of Expansion's Ashes And Blues.

Yodok III - Yodok III (LP) - was performed & recorded at the Athletic Studio, Halden - Norway 2012. Yodok III is Tomas Järmyr - drums, Kristoffer Lo - amplified tuba, flugabone, Dirk Serries - electric guitar, effects.




The Void Of Expansion - Ashes And Blues (LP) - was performed & recorded at the Sunny Side Inc. studio, Anderlecht - Belgium 2014. The Void Of Expansion is Tomas Järmyr - drums, Dirk Serries - electric guitar, effects.



You can now pre-order, incl. instant download, both albums at our bandcamp site: newwaveofjazz.bandcamp.com - support DIY! Shipping out June 16th.

While all events and projects are equal, we can't express our euphoria enough for the upcoming Yodok III European tour. Yodok III is Tomas Järmyr on drums, Kristoffer Lo on amplified tuba and Dirk Serries on electric guitar. Yodok III is an unique beast of pure melancholia, power and improvised interaction.

The full-length LP release show (album out on Tonefloat prior to tour) will take place at the fantastic Belgian jazzclub De Singer in Rijkevorsel. Limited seats, close and intimate to the stage, excellent acoustics and a close-to-the-heart philosophy of passionate promoters and volunteers screams for your support. Let us all make this evening memorable and pre-order your tickets now!

Saturday June 7th - Kinkystar Club, Ghent - Belgium
Sunday June 8th - Magasin4, Brussels - Belgium (w/Mugstar & Tysmfyh)
Thursday June 12th - Worm, Rotterdam - The Netherlands (w/Chessex)
Friday June 13th - De Singer, Rijkevorsel - Belgium
