Skinshape - Shangri-La  - MR002 - (OUT NOW - Vinyl 12'' & Digital)

A humble collection of bite-sized teasers from a variety of styles!

Time to Decorate! (But Faster!!)

Ike's Mood I

Degiheugi - Kolkata

"We fancied going somewhere different this time"

…And so they did. Previously no strangers to changing gears radically mid track when a groove screamed out for it, Skeewiff have certainly excelled themselves this time.

‘Skeewiff In Wonderland’ is a multi sectional, genre hopping, beat heavy remix of Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice In Wonderland’ that leaves your ears and senses vibrating with the very essence of sonic invention.

An elegiac orchestra and soaring beats are interspersed with glitchy psychedelia and moody jazz on the introductory ‘Down the Rabbit Hole’.

The cut and paste cinerama that is twisted and transported via 5 dimensions throughout the album is perfectly encapsulated on this thrilling soundtrack to our departure.

An infectious leslie organ and gleeful acoustic guitar propel the infectious ode to the novel's haphazard Dodo race - ‘A Caucus. A victorian string melody and incongruous slide guitar swell to complete the joyously deranged atmosphere.

On ‘Pig And Pepper’, Skeewiff serve up a slice of the 60’s cool that infected their hit collaboration with Vanessa Contenay-Quinones ‘Made In France’ with the kind of retro verve we know and love. ‘Advice From A Caterpillar’ adds to the increasingly lysergic atmosphere - a sitar laden jazzy groove providing a scintillating backdrop for funk guitar and soulful saxophone before Bollywood beats and growly synths arrive to remind us that nothing here is as it seems.

The crunk groove of ‘Who Stole The Tarts’ mutates a 30’s inspired Flapper dance into something defying explanation - jazz trumpet and piercing synths recreate the bawdiness of the legal system mocking 11th chapter and ‘Skee’s Evidence’ draws proceedings to a close in typically ‘Wiffed’ out fashion. Intertwining wah wah guitar and baffled trumpet lead the charge before the coda of ‘Down The Rabbithole’ reappears, a door bangs shut and a disturbing muffled chuckle echoes into the silence...

Curiouser and curiouser…

‘Skeewiff In Wonderland is released on March 31st.

Boston beat-maker Jenova 7 returns to Cold Busted for the crucial cut collection Dusted Jazz Vol. 3. A crate-digging vinyl junkie and film school graduate, inspired by the heyday of ‘90s trip-hop — and artists like DJ Shadow, DJ Krush, and Portishead — Jenova 7 forged his own sound, eventually ending up on DJ Mark Farina’s Mushroom Jazz 8. After taking a stylistic departure with the funky sci-fi themed album A Cosmic Safari, his collaboration with Russia’s Eddie Shinn, Jenova 7 issues the long-awaited third volume of Dusted Jazz, following the first two volumes on Dusted Wax Kingdom. He is also a member of trip-hop trio Wax Triptych (with Mononome and Mr. Moods).

The cuts transmit a hazy and jazzy flow throughout, featuring chalky mid-tempo breakbeats and funky beamed-in-from-the-70s atmospheres and flavors. You can almost see a sun-drenched, scratchy super-8 film accompanying “5 Pointz Theme,” an immensely cool cut paying homage to a city’s graffiti center. “You Dig?”, which originally appeared on IWYMI Volume Nine, continues the vibe, delivering squelchy vintage synth, chunky piano, and a lovely guitar interlude. And “Static,” featuring the lovely vocals of K8 Marcos, reveals Jenova 7’s range — it’s a delicious, breezy trip hop tune that wouldn’t be out of place alongside the likes of Zero 7.

Dusted Jazz Vol. 3 is a treasure from top to bottom, and Jenova 7 joins the ranks of his influences with this accomplished and multi-faceted release.
