Fresh from producing for rap legend Yasiin Bey (aka Mos Def) on his long-awaited Negus project, Steven Julien continues to pay homage to his hip-hop roots for the next offering on Apron Records. Few people know that Julien's musical journey began as an MC in rap group The Dungeonaires during his early teens before production eventually became his main interest. 

______ is a collaboration with Long Beach local and The Natives rapper, Senay Kenfe — a musician, photo-journalist and local community organiser who has spent over 15 years working on grassroots, cultural projects including documenting the graffiti scenes of Brazil and Egypt to leading clean water filtration schemes in Ethiopia. 

The pair first linked up during back-and-forth hang-outs between London and LA. The seed of the alliance was sown when Senay heard the instrumental for "Osiris" on an episode of The Apron Show on NTS Radio and reached out to write to it.

Senay - Osiris (Produced by Steven Julien & Byron The Aquarius)

“Kanda” follows Ranie Ribeiro’s “Individuality EP” with a new series of singles. 

Taking cues from the broken beat and jazz scenes while giving it his own twist. "Kanda" comes as a solid blend between acoustic and electronic music with fast paced drum patterns, electric piano’s and elevating synth lines.

Track taken from „Kommerz Season 1: Anti-Virus“, dropping August 21st on vinyl with a super limited & high quality Kommerz face mask
Featuring DJ Piper (of Fjaak), Glenn Astro (Ninja Tune, Tartelet) & Hodini (ava.), Cuthead (Uncanny Valley), O-Wells (Die Orakel, Live at Robert Johnson), Qnete (Lobster Theremin, 777 Recordings), Manuel Fischer (Lobster Theremin, Ozelot Ltd.).

The homie Glenn Astro, who has releases with Ninja Tune and Tartelet under his belt, asked his longtime friend and collaborator Hodini (also known to hip-hop heads as Hulk Hodn) to work on a joint tune. “Wiggum & Lloyd” is by far the jazziest track on the compilation, building up around an incredible bassline and wonky synth layers.

Ep 208 w/. Noa Records (NZ)

Sydney dancefloors owe a lot to Setwun.
And lucky for us his hard drives are now being exposed.

Dedicated to the uplift, he and his music raise us higher and higher, and now
Mandarin Dreams have the honour of presenting two soulful cuts off his upcoming EP, Our World.

This is a timely delivery for a society wearing the pain of it’s awakening.
And to heal, we first must listen.

Our World is a collection of worship songs. To the god almighty,
music.A celebration of the power of creation, and its ability to unite us with ourselves, and each other.

This is Our World.

Setwun delivers two holy gifts in Reach and Steamdown. Both infectious rhythms are currently being tested to treat The Disease.
Use these gifts to find hope.
Listen alone. Listen together.
Raise it up.
