About Me


LAZYBATUSU might sound like a familiar name to the followers of the nu-jazz, future-lounge & downtempo scene, as well as their unique sound. The idea originated from the fertile minds of DJ Corrado Bay and keyboards player Simone Giuliani -better known in the biz as 4MuLA -after they met in an East London studio for a fateful recording session.
Tracks from their early CD under the alias Racoon (2001) appeared on 'Glücklich V’ (Compost Records), Hed Kandi's 'Serve Chilled 3', ‘Paradisiac 3’ (Universal Music) and MTV Lounge Vol.2 (Sony) along with more than 50 other compilations. LAZYBATUSU entered the Top 10 Chart for Electronic Music genre in iTunes Music Store just after one week since the MP3 release of their self-titled album. They were as well featured on ‘Café’ Del Mar Vol 9', one of the best-selling releases from the legendary series, that sold alone over 250,000 copies.
The need for artistic independence quickly commanded the decision of founding EMUNITY RECORDS. With this vessel, they gave life and started witnessing the growth of a DJ/musicians’ collective that marked the beginning of a solid and steady collaboration with DJ 2MuCH, Matias 'Urko' Iribarne on percussions and didjeridoos and welcomed more and more talented collaborators on board: Alejandro Santos (Al di Meola Band), Nancy Danino (Snooze, Llorca), Alma Horton (4Hero), Rose Max & Ramatis, Karen Jones; not to mention the incredibly gifted nu-jazz producers Keston & Westdal, recently working closely with the duo on a series of remixes.
LAZYBATUSU is now hitting the stores with a CD collection of their vinyl productions called ‘00.03’ and concluded their full length album ‘Otherview’ to be released on Emunity Records
