June

June delivers a masterclass in modern Polish soul, blending the organic warmth of live instrumentation with the sharp, rhythmic sensibilities of early 2000s R&B. Their sound is defined by a deep, locked-in pocket between the bass and drums, creating a foundation that feels both grounded and effortlessly cool. It is music that occupies the space between a smoky jazz club and a high-end studio session.

What sets them apart is the pedigree of the musicians involved. These are seasoned producers and session players who bring a level of technical sophistication rarely seen in standard pop. You can hear the influence of J Dilla's swing and Erykah Badu's vocal phrasing, but it is filtered through a European jazz lens that adds a layer of crystalline polish to the grit.

Start with 'That's What I Like' to hear them at their most infectious. It is the kind of music that makes a room feel more expensive the moment it starts playing, offering a perfect balance of intellectual musicality and pure, physical groove.
