Introducing Guohan to the Darker Than Wax family. Originally a native of Ningbo, China, Guohan began shaping his sound in the emerging beat scene in southern China. Now based in Nottingham UK, the producer’s unique influences and effortless style have solidified with his DTW label debut - The City of the Sun and Moon. Already an up-and-comer, Guohan’s well received 2021 debut LP Lost Sound Book has been supported by the likes of Charlie Bones, Esa, Toshio Matsuura, and Ninja Tune. Aside from co-founding Nottingham-based label Running Circle Records, Guohan also co-runs Meridian Sounds, an imprint from southern China pushing subliminal sounds from his motherland.

The City of the Sun and Moon reflects the mountains and liminal spaces from Guohan’s dreams and memories, channeling a healing warmth inspired by people, cities, villages, and tales of his grandparents. Influenced by the musical vibrations in Nottingham, especially DiY and the late Pete Woosh, the 6-tracker brings the listener along on an up-tempo odyssey, while retaining Guohan’s signature hypnotic style. Incorporating hazy synths, percussive rhythms, and collected sound pieces, Guohan paints a vivid picture of his personal journey throughout the record.

Isatta Sheriff and Koralle join forces on ‘Eat The Kiwi Skin’ - a six track EP that unites the talents of the East London MC and the Bologna-based beat smith. The duo's first collabo ‘Laid Back’ was released in 2021 and gained 2.5 million streams to date. Even though the music is made in Italy ‘Eat The Kiwi Skin’ is a London sumting.

“It's a laid back journey into my world in East London,” Isatta explains. “I paint a picture of my journey so far as a Black female rapper, and the racial politics and experiences surrounding that. It follows Laid Back’s relaxed approach to the stage where I am at making music on my own terms and speaking freely.”

On the EP, Isatta is joined by fellow vocalists Lex Amor, Shumba Youth, Awate and Mercy's Cartel who are also not afraid to eat the kiwi skin. “The skin is the most nutritious part of the fruit and you have to digest the roughness (harshness) to get the most nourishment,” the outspoken Eastender explains.

“When you do things differently, some people get it, and some don’t. Some join in and some just comment from the sidelines. Might not be the easiest (or tastiest) thing to hear but it's necessary. This could be interpreted in a music and life sense.”

Isatta's track record includes collabos with Flying Lotus, Oddisee, Arrested Development and Athletic Progression. She is hosting a radio show, runs her own label Doctored Sound and works as a music writer.
Koralle is one of the most in demand European beatmakers with a sound rooted in jazz and boom-bap. Since signing with MPM in 2019, he has released three albums and accumulated more than 30 million streams.
 
‘Eat The Kiwi Skin’ will be available digital and on LP (including instrumental edits of all tracks for the beat lovers out there). The album artwork is designed by acclaimed Colombian illustrator SagaUno who also did the covers for The Silhouettes Project and Koralle's ‘Beat Kiosk’.
