‘Sabah Al Noor’ is the first solo single by Berlin-based vocalist and writer douniah. A follow-up to her 2019 album ‘Dream Baby’, douniah releases her debut solo EP ‘A Lot, Not Too Much’ in November, digitally and on LP. The EP will be accompanied by a short film, directed by Elena Cremona and Nils Hansen.

Agadir-born and Hamburg-raised, douniah engages in the practice of interpreting her spirit, impressively, in German, Darija, and English. Her distinct yet genre-fluid expression is well-honed, with the ability to execute various roles in the creative process with a number of collaborators – notably her omnipresence on the electronic Lost Papers EP with Yoofee, and single ‘Space for the kidd’ from Move78’s forthcoming album Grains. The interdisciplinary songstress warmly credits her sonic inspirations from hubs such as the pioneering Black communities across America, all the way to North Africa - where Gnaoua and Raï music gave something tangible to a young douniah listening to her mother's collection.

douniah has developed a reputation in the scene for sublime live performances. “I think that my audience knows me through my performances and continued to grow from there.” She has notably supported Children of Zeus and Sudan Archives across the German leg of their European and world tours respectively, and most recently enchantingly set the stage for Rochelle Jordan’s show at Kantine am Berghain Further, she has played at Elbphilharmonie Hamburg was one of the very few musicians on the bill at Documenta fifteen.

A head-nodding drum groove rides an upbeat jazzy progression w/ cascading keys and lush synths, exuding a warmth that’s testament to Gianni’s ability to transport your ears to a realm of sonic serenity. Sits in a danceable yet calming mood that’s a perfect inclusion to the shorter, chillier winter days.

London rap duo Summers Sons return with a new sound and vision. ‘The Buzz’ is a far cry from the beloved jazz rap that Turt (rap) and Slim (production) have perfected with their previous projects.

“It's the love, it's the lust, it's the drugs, it's the buzz, it's the crushing the buds, it's the ride, it's the rush, it's the fights, it's the blood, it's the signs from above, fuck the government, live life in the mud.“ Turt opens up over a hypnotic Slim groove build from white noise, static and bass.

A buzz can be many things. The sound of a bee, the rush of excitement, the background noise that accompanies nearly every moment of our lives... “The buzz of electricity, the buzz of adrenaline, the buzz of drugs, the buzz of falling in love, the buzzing of our internal monologue” Turt continues, “I'm trying to show how they are all connected. We exist in a world that teaches us to be individuals, to be separate. But we feel alone. We've forgotten our own electric nature, our deepest connection.“

‘The Buzz’ is the first Summers Sons release in 2024. Watch out for a lot more music by Turt and Slim this year. 

Since 2018 Summers Sons have released four albums (‘Undertones’, ‘Uhuru’, ‘The Rain’, ‘Nostalgia’) and a string of high profile collabos with artists like C.Tappin, Twit One, The Silhouettes Project and Koralle. Not forgetting Slim's beat tape for KO-OP.

In 2023, Turt released the album ‘The Questions’ as one third of the project Syrup (the other two are Twit One & C.Tappin) while Slim released an album project (‘Cerulean’) with Benaddict and Ella Mae Suref. Turt also dropped two singles with the Silhouettes Project alongside Nix Northwest and Frankie Stew & Harvey Gunn.

Destruction Everywhere

‘Expansion’ is the second single from Melbourne-based, Finn Rees’ forthcoming debut album, Dawn Is A Melody. A Brazilian-inspired, spirit-embracing jazz immersion, that nods to greats like Luiz Eça, Dom Salvador and Cesar Camargo Mariano yet showcases the vibrancy of Finn’s contemporary palette. 

Further illuminating the microcosm of colour that is Dawn Is A Melody, ‘Expansion’ explores the connection between the worldly and those cosmic realms that float in between, with the help of some of Melbourne’s finest musicians. Igniting the track, Lucky Pereira’s exquisite drumming marries with Blakely McLean Davies’ strutting double bass playing, as a Latin touch shines through Dom Kirk’s percussion. 

Sitting at the helm, Finn’s signature mastery across the keys from the ‘70s Yamaha grand piano to the warming tones of the Rhodes, elevate your mind to a weightless dimension. Enhancing those earthly measures, he taps into the cosmic-channelling Moog to add an undertone of interstellar electronics.  A foundation that gives ground for the triplet of horns to form a harmonious unison, Audrey Powne on trumpet, Cheryl Durongpisitkul on tenor sax, Josh Moshe on alto sax, all gliding as one. 

Both grounded and galactic, it’s an intricate, soulful and spiritual jazz journey with a depth and richness that is perfectly saturated by recording and mix engineer Henry Jenkin’s vintage recording setup.
