New from the Another Music imprint is a collection of twisted beats from London-based producer, Beatoven. Beatoven’s musical credits include Diverted, a breakbeat outfit known for their long-running monthly live band residency at Cargo, and a three-piece electronica project called LAskA. His music has seen him tour across countries such as Australia, Spain, Russia, Hungary and the US.

On ‘Tangled’, his first release on Another Music, Beatoven plays with both hard and soft textures. This is music made out of tough beats and gauzy melody. This is music to fill your headphones on a bright spring day.

“I guess I would describe my sound as weighty beat-led music with deep bass, intricate rhythms and interwoven textures and synth lines all writhing around in a sea of uncomfortable anticipation.”

The glitch comes fast and heavy in the tracks ‘Tangled,’, ‘A Silent and White’, ‘Falstaf’, and ‘Ground Born’, before falling away to reveal a soft centre on ‘So Cold’. The track features the vocal stylings of Amy Hiller, a long time collaborator who also works with the producer on the LAskA project. The other notable vocal contribution on the E.P. is from Palestinian MC Boikutt (Tashweesh/Ramallah Underground), on the brash ‘Falstaf’.

Release date: 07-05-13

Beatoven - Ground Born

Another Music was founded in 2010 by Wriggly Scott. Starting out as a monthly radio show broadcast on the Marrakech-based internet station Ness Radio, the radio shows featured music from the golden era of hip hop, as well as electronic beats, jazz, soul, afrobeat, world music etc. The Another Music blog was launched shortly after as a means of documenting the show, and was later expanded to include music-related news from other artists.

In May 2011 DJ Solo had his first commercial release ‘Who Is Wriggly Scott?’ on Dented Records. One of the tracks ‘Stay Focused’ (featuring the Iraqi-Canadian artist The Narcicyst) was remixed and became the first official release for the Another Music imprint.

Although the brand has evolved organically since the outset, its focus remains the same which is to promote and share good quality music from around the world, with a specific interest in artists working in the Middle East.
