More than a quintet, PYJÆN is the unified expression of the emotions, journeys and influences that comprise its diverse members. The group seamlessly melds funk, afro-beat and contemporary sounds with nods to hip-hop and disco, whilst acknowledging the heady days of 1920’s era jazz.

Their first offering since their self titled 2019 debut (which was championed by the likes of Gilles Peterson, Huey Morgan & many more) the EP sees the outfit join forces with the incredible Blue Lab Beats for title track ‘Sage Secrets’ - creating a joyous, head-nod inducing jam - full of punchy drums and dreamlike keys, perfectly punctuated by the watertight brass section. PYJÆN are also joined by the incredibly gifted and soulful Odette Peters for ‘Gold Plated’ who's smoky-vocals grace the track and marking the first time the band have featured vocals across any of their music.
