'Red Valley' refers to the Welsh who left their homes between 1936 and 1939 to fight in the Spanish civil war against Franco and the rise of facism. Bennett says, "It's just my little nod to the humble people who saw themselves as global citizens and the responsibility that comes with that, and that their individual actions truly mattered".

The track, which opens with guitars and stomping feet, slips effortlessly into a gorgeous groove of dusty guitars and grumbling organs, all underpinned by Huw's simple but affecting bass work.

Experimental hip-hop/jazz quartet Bokoya team up with Cologne-based producer / guitarist Gianni Brezzo (Jakarta Records) for ‘Tangram’, the second single from their upcoming album ‘Minari’ on Melting Pot Music.

Bokoya describe themselves as a four-headed human drum machine that play impro-vised beat music. You can call it jazz if you like (all four members are graduated jazz musicians btw) but be ready to stumble over some Dilla, Kraut Rock, Ambient or Dub in the mix. We recommend their double-album ‘Hausensession’ (MPM 2022) as a reference point.

Gianni Brezzo's music is a bit easier to access but not less leftfield. Jazz is a major influ-ence, but it goes way further. On his album ‘Tutto Grosso’ (Jakarta, 2022), Brezzo rides a sonic wave similar to Matthew Halsall, Surprise Chef, El Michels Affair and BadBadNot-Good. 

The recording sessions took place at the Gottesweg Studios in Cologne where Bokoya and Gianni Brezzo jammed for three days and nights based on some basic sketches and beat. The sessions were edited and arranged after by Bokoya and Brezzo but no overdubs added.

‘Minari’ will be available as digital album and LP.

JATOBA is a duo composed of singer Lanoir and beatmaker A Cat Called FRITZ.
Two complementary artists who summon an incantatory universe. A vaporous alchemy between the deep voice of Lanoir and the "tamed" beats of ACCF tinged with blues with trip hop / hip hop influences.

Vocals and lyrics by Lanoir
Mixed and Produced by A Cat Called FRITZ
Recorded at the Sounds Of Gravity studio

Single out now: fsx.lnk.to/ttwig-world

"The World is but a Mystery" is the official debut single from ttwig – a new solo project from JUICEB☮X (the vocal half of Fresh Selects duo, Figmore). 

A veritable Swiss Army knife of talent – JUICEB☮X raps, sings, produces, and plays just about every instrument (even including the trumpet), and his prolific releases over the years have run the gamut of different styles – proudly dubbing his label for self-releases, "Ellen DeGenreless." 

And now, with his new ttwig moniker, taken from a song title on JUICEB☮X's 2021 'Overthin King' LP, he's purposefully honing in on a more specific sound – one rooted in the more psychedelic side of nostalgia, centered around more organic sounds and textures, and mostly focusing on his singing, songwriting and live instrumentation. 

A proper full-length ttwig LP is still to come – stay tuned for more...

Pre-order Lane Beckstrom 'Looking Out' – releasing Sept. 29th: fsx.lnk.to/looking-out

At one point serving as the working title track to the album – "Daisies" is now batting clean-up on the roll-out towards Chicago multi-talent Lane Beckstrom's upcoming debut LP.  Fittingly, it also wound up being the closer song on the tracklist – a swirling summary of some of the varying styles and moods expressed throughout.

Empathy

Flashback. At the turn of the first decade of 2000, a stray cat from the Parisian suburbs named Fritz came to skin the bling bling of the time by imposing his claw on the scene of international indie rap. With Slow Down and On & On a series of EPs on 7’ in an ultra-efficient jazzy manifesto, the beatmaker earned his stripes with class and insolence. Since then, the path of the Paris’ tom cat is built over his experiences and meetings, including the album Beats Per Minute in duet with rapper Audessey (Soundsci), released on the prestigious American label Slice Of Spice (Lord Finesse, Marco Polo...). One will not need more to register the legend of ACCF on the pantheon of the most talented French producers of international underground Hip Hop and confirm the adage that cats control the world.
In 2015, Fritz decides to condense his night wanderings in his first album Tribulations & Life of, an album anchored in his time, made in the moment and with instinct. A few years later, crowned by a signature at the legendary German label HHV, Fritz continues to drag his feline silhouette to the four corners of the globe. So that listening to his latest album Vertical Iris gives the pleasant sensation of moving forward Stealthily in known terrain as on a new land to clear.
Addictive samples, raw and rough tones nuanced from the blue notes of the 90’s rap punctuated by cinematographic atmospheres, the same flawless recipe applied since its beginnings, is here reinforced by a slew of hand-picked featurings such as Black Josh (UK), Audessey (US), Sach (The Nonce / US), Glad2mecha (US), LayFullStop (UK) ...


Flashback. Au détour de la première décennie 2000, un chat de gouttière de la banlieue parisienne nommé Fritz venait écorcher le bling bling de l’époque en imposant sa griffe sur la scène du rap indé international. Avec "Slow Down" et "On & On" une série de EP 45 tours inscrits dans un manifeste jazzy ultra efficace, le beatmaker gagnait ses galons avec classe et insolence. Depuis, le chemin du matou parisien se construit au fil de ses expériences et rencontres, notamment l’album Beats Per Minute en duo avec le rapper Audessey (Soundsci), sorti sur le prestigieux label américain Slice Of Spice (Lord Finesse, Marco Polo...). Il n’en faudra pas plus pour inscrire la légende de A Cat Called Fritz au panthéon des producteurs français les plus talentueux du Hip Hop underground international et confirmer l’adage qui veut que les chats contrôlent le monde.
En 2015 Fritz décide de condenser ses errances nocturnes dans son premier album Tribulations & Life of, un album ancré dans son époque, fait dans l’instant et avec instinct. Quelques années plus tard, auréolé d’une signature chez le mythique label allemand HHV, Fritz continue de trainer sa silhouette féline aux quatre coins du globe. Si bien que l’écoute de son dernier opus Vertical Iris donne l’agréable sensation d’avancer à pas de velours en terrain connu comme sur une terre nouvelle à défricher. Samples addictifs, sonorités brutes et rugueuses nuancées des notes bleues propres au rap des 90’s ponctués d’atmosphères cinématographiques, la même recette sans faille appliquée depuis ses débuts se trouve ici renforcée par une flopée de featurings triés sur le volet tels que Black Josh (UK), Audessey (US), Sach (The Nonce/US), Glad2mecha (US), LayFullStop (UK)...
