10 JUL 2026 - Back up to full speed! Let's be honest: for the last few months, TorrentFunk was painfully slow. Pages crawled, searches dragged, and just loading the site tested everyone's patience. We hunted the problem down to our network and rebuilt it from the ground up — smarter caching, a much bigger and faster connection, and a lot of fine-tuning under the hood. The difference is night and day: the site now loads in a fraction of a second. No more waiting around. Thanks for sticking with us through the slow spell. Now go discover your funk!
Recorded by Gabriele Conti at Stone Recording Studio, Roma, Lazio, Italy, on September 2019.

When jazz musicians put bop in the rearview and branched out into avant-garde and free jazz, they didn’t turn their backs on the blues. The inside-out movement, in particular, is beguiling in the way it stretches jazz to its limits, while also remaining tightly tethered to the blues. That mix of tradition and experimentation has a rich history, marked by trailblazing musicians who helped forge the early years of inside-out jazz. The quartet Roots Magic honors some of those composers on their 2020 release. But Take Root Among the Stars isn’t a historical reference book—it screams of today and bursts with life. The music wears its heart on its sleeve. Clean Feed Records is a haven for modern inside-out musicians, and there’s a credible argument to be made that Roots Magic is currently carrying the torch for the future of jazz.
