Clap Clap & Khalab - Sahkii's Elevation

Pochoclo - LAS TRILLIZAS DE ORO

The latest single to emerge from Owiny Sigoma Band's third album Nyanza, 'Nairobi (Too Hot)' takes the Kenyan capital as its subject matter. It draws on the positive spirit ingrained in Kenya’s musical heritage as much as it does the country’s uneasy present. 

In ‘Nairobi (Too Hot)’, the country's musical lineage continues to bear an influence. Sun-flecked guitar lines and call-and-response vocals take centre stage, interspersed with 
echoing gunshot fire that’s a reminder of the violent tension in the city experienced by the band while there. The single comes backed by a remix from DJ Khalab, where the oft-Clap! Clap! collaborator has produced an acid-tinged re-rub that retains the bittersweet lilt of the original.

November 2016, 10 years of OTPMD. Vincent Bertholet, still resolute, finally realises his old dream of a‘real’ orchestra. And thus was born the project to expand the known horizon. The orchestra became XXL by assembling accomplices from the first hour, who had never really disappeared from view, and an English string section met along the way. From now on, they will be 14 on stage. An anniversary tour, prestigious stages and makeshift squats, unrestrained agitation as in the first days, and a larger chorus, more percussive than ever. The multi-headed Hydra gives voice in concert and the frail stages that host it groan under its weight. Nevertheless, it is in the studio that the foundation of a new adventure is forged. Back to England, in the imposing and magnificent building that houses Real World Studios. After Rotorotor (2014), John Parish is again at the controls. It’s called Sauvage Formes, a shrewd title, because everything here is as geometric as it is organic. The incisive rhythms, doubled in XXL, trademark of the pack, mingle with the unusually melancholy brass. The guitar riffs express themselves inminimalistic cascades, and since the number of strings has tripled, they allowthemselves the luxury of entwining with each other, like a carnal embrace without epilogue. The voices, more numerous than usual, recite, chant, lead the dance and poeticise, sometimes in French, sometimes in English, and, in the same spirit, the chorus takes the opportunity to shape the pediment of hymns to elsewhere. NOn crossing these 8 songs as beautiful as they are adventurous, it seems to be a story of a voyage, a torn logbook. On the horizon however, neither boat, nor rickety plane, neither map nor compass. Is it because the continent that is mentioned in these texts and melodies is not a known place, but rather a dream world, a land of asylum for rebels and the insubordinate, for the daring and the benevolent? The fourth Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp album is like a road, a purpose, an ideal of shared and shareable lives. And the writing of this music is like the defences of an imaginary seafront, like an act witnessing an intertwined destiny, an extraordinary adventure. The story of a chamberless orchestra, a sensitive battalion of unlimited generosity, a wild form that never needed a master to tame its imagination and determination.

◉ Cyril Cyril  - Colosse De Rhodes - 1st single of their upcoming 1st album CERTAINE RUINES out on September the 21th ◉

| On rotation all summer on France Inter  | co-release with BORN BAD RECORDS

“Cyril  Cyril  repeats  itself  as  a  reflection  would  in  infinite  mirrors.  A  vagabond  rumour,  borrowed  from  age  old  whispers,  beyond  Mounts  Atlas  and  Ararat,  to  whomever  is  willing  to  hear  the  echo  of  thousands  of  places where  melodies  hummed  by  angels  and  drums  are  beaten  continuously  since  the  birth  of  mankind.  With  a  banjo,  a  guitar,  a  melodeon,  strange  drums,  multiples  voices  and  languages  as  their  sole  companions,  Cyril  Cyril  cuts  a  groove  from  the  soul  and  transcends,  for  a  few  tracks  a  time,  the  good  manners  of  damned  souls.  The  tandem,  disguised  as  an  ghost-like  fanfare,  rises  like  a  phoenix  on  the  dance  floor...”

AMAMI - GIANT EP (Bongo Joe Record)
https://lesdisquesbongojoe.bandcamp.com/album/giant

New band from our agitated hometown Geneva! Just somewhere between dub tape, afrobeat and dancehall... like a lost gem of a retro-futurist soundtrack or a dusty trap song from outer space. Just listen to "IVORY" to catch the vibe : furious claps, deep kick, melow synth and souly vocal. Drum machine and madness are maybe the two feet they stand on. So free your mind and just dive into this post-tribal dance.

As three face of the same coin, Raphaël Anker (Imperial Tiger Orchestra), Gabriel Ghebrezghi (Ghostape, Tapes Adventure, Uberreel) and Ines Mouzoune will catch you on their spinning game... and you'll not stay indemn.

AMAMI  "Much Love Mix" - N*01

MIMS is incredibly excited to premiere "Walato" an irresistible call to dance from Onipa, one of our favourite groups, weaving Senegal grooves with a modern electronic pulse. Featuring Senegalese percussionist, Mamadou Saar and Nubiyan Twist, Golden Mean and LCSM bassist, Luke Wynter. 

"Walato" is the first single from the forthcoming Music Halls compilation, 'Forest Sound Archive', a collection of music recorded in collaboration during lockdown by some of the best musicians, instrumentalists and music producers living and working in the borough of Waltham Forest.  An endeavour supported by the London Borough of Waltham Forest and Arts Council England. 

Earlier this year, more than a dozen musicians found a way to overcome the challenges of lockdown to create collaborative pieces in reaction to their isolation and the pandemic. Diverse local talents contributed, such as singer/songwriter and producer Charles Watson, award winning composer/singer/songwriter Paul Mosley, and violinist Emma Smith of the acclaimed chamber group Elysian Quartet.

Lead single, “Walato”, is born from a collaboration between neighbours Mamadou Sarr and Onipa’s Tom Excell. Hailing from Dakar, Senegal, Mamadou is an exceptionally talented percussionist, and has played for many years with the legendary Baaba Maal. Musician, producer and Onipa and Nubiyan Twist founder Excell, struck up a strong musical connection with Mamadou whilst both playing with Africa Express earlier this year. They are joined by Onipa vocalist K.O.G. and multi-instrumentalist Luke Wynter of Nubiyan Twist, Golden Mean and IG Culture's LCSM.

The compilation is mastered by Grammy-nominated engineer, Frank Merritt, whose magic touch has helped create acclaimed releases for the likes of Bonobo, Quantic, Soundway, Strut and Bixiga 70. Frank lives and works in Waltham Forest and as part of the process gave mastering masterclasses to local Sixth Form students. The whole project is curated and directed by Sam Jones, music producer (Collocutor, Siti Muharam) and artistic director of Waltham Forest’s Music Hall, for whom this compilation is the just the beginning of a significant redevelopment of Waltham Forest’s public space and support for local musical artists.

The full compilation,  released December 18, sheds light on so many different creative paths being carved across Waltham Forest, and is a delight to listen to from beginning to end. Pre-order now and download "Walato" immediately.
