"This is the record I always wished somebody would make. Juju meets Minimal Techno on the dancefloor!" - MONK ONE

Distributed by https://soundcloud.com/above-board-distribution

Herman Prime’s debut 12”, “Maajo” is a beautiful ode to spring and new birth. "Maajo" pays homage to Nigerian music, with its borrowed vocals from juju style’s King “Sunny” Ade. The track has a house foundation, which shows in its fat kick drums and sub bass groove, while the hypnotic Rhodes melody harkens to early minimal electronic pioneers such as Manuel Göttsching.

The B-side, “Maajo (Take Four)”, is a track of its own, a mutant revision of the emotional original. This version is not just a slightly altered copy but an electronic dub that takes the original to a completely different direction. Talking drums and a polyrhythm structure maintain the dreamy, Nigerian feel, but the dystopic, detuned synths have the scent of an underground techno bunker.

Jon Thureson, alias Herman Prime, has been open-mindedly DJing and producing music for 15 years. He has a broad understanding of musical language which helps him to infuse his various influences. With his strong background in house and disco, Jon often reaches beyond the limits of both genres towards new frontiers. His love affair with West African styles and electronic Krautrock shows on “Maajo”.

Seagull Records is a spin-off from disco rework factory Kojak Giant Sounds and “Maajo” is a slightly moodier and housier departure from the labels usual repertoire.

Welcome to ATLAS.

///////////////// 

Lisbon-based DJ and producer, Enchufada label head, Red Bull Music Academy alumnus and Buraka Som Sistema co-founder Branko is ready to embark on a whole new adventure. The renowned multifaceted artist went on a sonic journey around the world to connect with some of the most exciting music scenes our there, meeting and collaborating with a new generation of artists to create his debut solo album ‘Atlas’ (out on September 4th). After giving listeners a first taste of his exciting new work with Eventually, the globetrotting producer now invites you to listen to the new track Let Me Go (feat. Nonku Phiri & Mr. Carmack) as the album becomes available to pre-order on iTunes today.
 
If Eventually paired up compelling global club rhythms with indie vocals, Let Me Go (feat. Nonku Phiri & Mr. Carmack) further expands on this dynamic by allowing Branko’s trademark pop sensibilities to shine through his dancefloor-ready beats. After spending the day with the talented South African singer Nonku Phiri and L.A.-based producer Mr. Carmack at the Red Bull Studios in Cape Town, South Africa, Branko set out to translate this encounter into a song by pushing the limits of the kizomba offshoot we call zouk bass, introducing some much-needed R&B flavor to this thriving genre.
 
The story of this encounter is translated into an instrumental that reveals lush and dreamy synths dancing around a shuffling 90 BPM beat with an organic feel, built on Branko’s wide-ranging global influences and Mr. Carmack’s unique beatmaking skills, to which Nonku Phiri’s captivating Venda and English vocals add a level of depth and emotion that is further complemented by a bittersweet string arrangement (recorded at Red Bull Studios in New York) - with positively epic results.

Multi Culti’s lucid-lifestyle dreamer Peter Power takes us on a free-wheeling trip to the motherland on AFRO DAMBA.

The Irish-born Voodoohop resident has returned from the jungles of Bahia with a fresh ep of primal party tracks sampling voices and rhythms from across Africa and it’s neighbouring islands, producing what is easily his most club-oriented work to date. Whereas his tracks for Voodoohop were spiritual flute-heart-openers, these are neo-pagan mating-ritual floor-fillers. The rhythm is set to tribal chug, with rollicking percussion, reverb-soaked vocals, and all the fun jangly bells & bits you expect to be hanging off such a well-traveled producer.

If that weren’t enough, we enlisted Romanian-dance-duo Khidja to double-down and remix both Adama Waro and Dansakoni (available as a digital-exclusive). Resident mix-lord Dreems also weighs in with a subtle remix of Dansakoni, gently upping the tempo and tweaking the knobs in selfless service of the original groove.

This is a little bit of a rarity for us - usually acting as a conduit for more 'underground' (damn that word) entities, we very seldom get the opportunity to work with such an industry institution. Well; apparently now we do - with this feature, premiering k2k's remix cut from XOA's stunning new EP on the seismic @Soundway-Records.

'Diaspora/Echoes' in itself is a stand-alone and sophisticated piece - sporting wonderfully woven disparate textures, showcasing producer, Nick Tyson's(XOA) technical nous and artistic maturity. On remix duty is FH Favourite, k2k who is in good company as an XOA remixee - with Byron The Aquarius, Glenn Astro and Ben Hauke all having worn the proverbial 'XOA' T-shirt.

Slightly straying from the Red Bull Music Academy graduate's usual four-on-the-floor driven hallmark, k2k ensures her mark is well and truly made, with this spellbinding 2-steppin' re-imagination. Less a floor-filled set builder - more an enchanting burner for the late/early hours. Seventh heaven kinda stuff.

79 • AROUND THE WORLD

Dj, producteur et tête pensante de Bab Musique, Switch « Groov » Experience (@sg-exp) trace son chemin musical depuis plus de 15 ans, accumulant projets (Jazzistic, Jazz Attitudes, Highlife dernièrement) et sorties discographiques, dont un dernier album d’inspiration afro-électronique intitulé cotonouenmusique, première étape du projet musiqueaupoing?, un voyage audiovisuel à travers l’Atlantique noir.

Amoureux du jazz, en particulier, mais disons-le, de la musique en général, il campe à la croisée des chemins. Avec Coltrane dans un coin de la tête, Detroit à l’horizon, David Mancuso comme ressource et l’Atlantique noir pour territoire, son identité musicale est à l’image de notre temps. Elle circule. Sa musique se veut donc hybride, comme un pont lancé entre l’esprit du jazz, la profondeur de la house, la légèreté de la disco et l’écrin des musiques africaines. Il réalise l’émission Open Sky, diffusée sur Radio Campus Clermont-Fd et Groovalizacion Radio.
