London Jazz & Neo-Soul Riser Monerey J Shines On ‘South Side Fantasy’

Monerey J – South Side Fantasy: Jazz and neo-soul South London-based Monterey J releases the vibrant new single ‘South Side Fantasy’ featuring Southsidefinn (May 16th). The track serves as the first taste of his upcoming sophomore album Welcome 2 South London, an immersive project that aims to capture the creative heartbeat of the city’s vibrant southern quarters.

Blending elements of jazz, neo-soul and hip-hop, the single highlights both Monterey J’s keen ear for songwriting, soundscaping with soaring saxophone, twinkling keys and warming bass creating a compelling groove under his elegant lead vocal. 

Produced by Grammy-nominated Teo Marangon (best known for his work on Keyon Harrold’s Foreverland) the single ‘South Side Fantasy’ is a layered and atmospheric track that mirrors the rhythm of the city it pays homage to. Recorded across Cable Street Studios and Lightship 95, the track features an ensemble of some of South London’s brightest local talent alongside Monterey J himself, including: Joey Robbins (drums), Tay Harvey (bass), Dan McConkey (tenor sax), and a hypnotic verse from rapper Southsidefinn.

Speaking about the single, Monterey J explains: “South Side Fantasy” paints the colours of South London on a rich musical canvas. I was trying to capture the sounds, cultures, and experiences of living in this part of the city and turn them into music; to me, this song is what plays in my head as I’m walking along the Thames heading to a local Jam session: it captures the excitement, the passion, and the struggles of living the so-called “art life”. 

Musically, I experimented with glueing different sections together which is kind of like travelling through different neighbourhoods in London: you get the more chaotic free-jazz intro, the hip-hop grooves of the verses, and the more contemplative tones of the outro. I recorded this piece at Cable Street Studios and Lightship 95 employing some of my favourite musicians and friends of the local scene while also trying to replicate some of the tones of some of my favourite records (such as “Bitches Brew” by Miles Davis).”

With his distinctive approach to genre-fusing and his roots in both Italy and London, Monterey J continues to carve a lane all his own. His previous work, including his 2023 debut The Root, earned media coverage from outlets such as Illustrate Magazine and Hoxton Radio, while his live shows have seen him headline renowned venues including 91 Living Room, Two Palms, CLF Art Lounge, and The Cavendish Arms. Notably, he’s also performed at a showcase hosted by Greentea Peng.

‘South Side Fantasy’ is due May 16th via Minds Aye Music and distributed by AWAL.


Upcoming Live Dates:
91 Living Room, London – April 19th
CLF Art Lounge – May 15th
