Featuring artists from London, Lisbon, Montreal, Brooklyn, Chicago, and beyond, the project focuses on collaborators and peers whose work exists in close orbit to the label, forming a loose but interconnected creative system. Moving fluidly between live instrumentation and forward-leaning production, the compilation brings these different approaches into a single frame.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAcross ten tracks, Ecology Division captures the diversity within that system, from the harp-led jazz of Rachel Kitchlew \u0026amp; DOUGH to the stripped-back Rhodes minimalism of Simon Mavin (Haitus Kaiyote). Lapgan brings a psychedelic, beat-driven approach, while Kartik leans into a choppy, sample-led hip-hop palette. Korovo explores synth-forward, new wave-adjacent electronic territory, and Birocratic and Danny Scott Lane each contribute groove-led, funk-informed productions built on analog textures and live instrumentation. Contributions from Nick Marks and Sholto \u0026amp; David Bardon further expand the field, illustrating how distinct voices can operate independently while remaining part of a shared musical environment.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eVisually, Ecology Division takes cues from vintage field guides and naturalist illustration, with each single paired to a distinct animal. The artwork mirrors the project’s underlying framework, suggesting a form of cataloging and interrelation. Together, the music and imagery position the compilation not as a traditional compilation, but as a snapshot of an active and evolving ecosystem around Bastard Jazz.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bastard Jazz Recordings","offers":[{"title":"1LP Edition","offer_id":46364180709420,"sku":"BJLP55","price":250.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0388\/0461\/9308\/files\/img81776_various-ecology-division.jpg?v=1791709790","url":"https:\/\/whitenoiserecords.org\/products\/various-ecology-division","provider":"WHITE NOISE RECORDS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
