surprise chef - education & recreation

Education & Recreation builds on Surprise Chef’s signature instrumental funk, adding bolder textures and a looser, more improvisational energy. It's cinematic yet earthy, fusing jazz, soul, psych, and rare groove into something deeply immersive.

Tracks like “Money Music” and “Velodrome” glide through rich, rhythmic landscapes that feel like both a film score and a jam session. There’s a quiet confidence to the record—less polished, more exploratory. It’s music for thinking, moving, and staying cool under pressure.
