DIM040 - Tenderlonious & Jeen Bassa

as a central point of reference of grischa lichtenberger‘s »la demeure/il y a péril en la demeure« complex, raster-noton releases a limited edition of three 12“ vinyl EPs that are accompanied by a handmade, signed and individualized screen print.

the three EPs were set up as an experiment. each of the records is guided by a word that could be described as a phantasmagoria, a delusion of the 20th century – like a metaphor that is concerned not only with its immediate meaning, but with an implication more emotional, more irrational, telling something about the mindset of the not so distant past.

these keywords already existed before the production on the tracks began and thus played the role of an indirect orientation or playground for association. nevertheless, the EPs are not conceptualized, but rather a collection of habits and strategies in relation to the titles.

common to all EPs of the triptych is the question of a connection between intimacy and the public sphere. aesthetically, the music presented on the EPs ranges from distressing and unaligned dancefloor-oriented tracks to tribal and politically charged drones to unsettling noise ballads. on »spielraum«, for example, hypnotizing music box melodies are combined with claustrophobic breakbeats. »allgegenwart«, on the other hand, presents mechanical rhythms and sawing pads, topped with high-pitched warning sounds. last but not least, the final EP »strahlung« features self-forgetful, gloomy and melancholy tracks backed by melodies that remind of a barrel organ turned upside down.

please note: this special edition is limited to 500 copies and was printed, stamped and signed by the artist himself. print and paint application variations are intended.

We Release Jazz is very happy to present its fourth release (following Ryo Fukui’s Scenery and Mellow Dream and the soundtrack of Le Cercle Rouge by Eric Demarsan), the official reissue of 1974’s Stuff Combe 5 + Percussion, a hard to find soul jazz jewel from a cast of illustrious jazzmen led by glorious Swiss drummer Stuff Combe. The limited edition 180g vinyl LP is mastered at half speed, cut at Emil Berliner Studios, housed in a black and silver Stoughton tip-on sleeve, and comes with liner notes.

Recorded in Geneva, Stuff Combe 5 + Percussion finds Stuff Combe conducting an all-star ensemble consisting of Bob Jacquillard on bass, Francy Boland (The Chet Baker Quintet, arranger for Count Basie, Benny Goodman and the list goes on) on piano and electric piano, bebop and hard-bop legend Benny Bailey on trumpet, and Tony D'Adario on saxophone. The sessions ooze with funk, spaced out sounds, breathtaking solos, and moments of absolute collective wizardry. It’s soul jazz at its best with sci-fi and bossa excursions!

Born in Bern in 1924, Etienne Stephen Jean Gustave "Stuff" Combe had a wonderfully prolific career, playing all over Europe and the US and working with Buck Clayton, Bill Coleman, Stan Getz, Kenny Clarke, Oscar Pettiford , Art Taylor, Dizzy Reece, and Lucky Thompson just to name a few. He passed away in 1986, leaving behind a legacy that cemented him as one of the most important musicians in the history of Swiss jazz.

JAUBI continue the Nafs journey, which commenced with the single “Satanic Nafs” (featuring the remix by legendary LA producers The Gaslamp Killer & Mophono) released in March 2021. Now JAUBI draw on the elements of North Indian classical music, Hip-Hop and modal/spiritual jazz in their debut LP entitled “Nafs At Peace”.

The journey officially began back in April 2019 when London’s multi- instrumentalist and 22a Record label boss Ed “Tenderlonious” Cawthorne and Polish pianist/composer Marek “Latarnik” Pędziwiatr of EABS/Błoto, visited the group to record in Lahore.

Together they channelled their personal struggles at that time into the two recording sessions allowing the musicians to find a spiritual path through this musical purge.

Nothing whatsoever was written down during the recording sessions - no sheet music and no song titles, which allowed the six musicians to forget about their worldly issues.

In many ways, the journey represents a struggle and an expression of gratitude and an acknowledgement that the musician's inspiration comes from a higher power. The album cover portrays the mother of JAUBI’s bandleader, tearfully praying to God to get her son through that dark period of his life.

The first step of the journey can be heard on “Satanic Nafs” which refers to the lowest level of the Self which was released 26th March 2021 through Astigmatic Records.

The album title ‘Nafs At Peace’ refers to the last purification step the self has been through. At this level, the Self no longer struggles because one has complete love of God, by becoming at peace and tranquil with God’s will. We hope all can achieve the stage of “Nafs At Peace” … Inshallah.

Roots Underground Takeover • Rico Herrera(10.10.20)

Riding a drill-inspired beat with a deceptively wavy vibe despite its apparent darkness, Rising is about using strategy to confound your enemy in every way. Giving ground to create bait, then closing in swiftly on the enemy’s gaps. The aim is not to get bogged down in engagements but rather to end them swiftly and cleanly. Is it the art of war, or a metaphor for life? True warriors know the two are inseparable. Dada Shiva leads the assault with a cerebral dissection of the finer points of combat, while Human Waste focuses the attack on the foundations of systemic fuckery. The result is a blistering repost against all enemies of the people, a war maxim for uprisings.

_RISING LYRICS_


_Dada Shiva Verse_
Just got a call from the homeboy old day XCV,
It sounds like it’s poppin In London they’ve finally flooded the streets,
You hear that tick tack toe when the homeboys running the kleets,
But it ain’t no Xs and Os, it’s X and Oz and keef,
First time I touched on the road that shit was hard to believe,
Nowadays it’s pressure, yo,
I might take a break in Abuja,
You know for some peace and quiet,
If you know you’re free to deny it,
These man like to whisper in private,
They lose their piss in a crisis,
I’m back from the dead,
Don’t need no pussy ass niggas tryna argue you heard what I said,
If I was scared that nigga woulda tucked his tail instead,
But I’d rather eat my tail than back off from making the bread,
Rising,
But some things are still surprising,
Layer the cake with caster sugar you see that’s a different approach

_Dada Shiva Chorus_
I won’t be there when it finally clicks,
I’ll be clique’d out making a toast,
When the clip goes click and we let that go,
That’s how we be doing the most,

And I’m still in a turban, I can’t go Durban,
Don’t mistake me for suburban – Rising!


_Dada Shiva Verse_
He’s not so sharp but he say don’t blaze and I’m like ok,
You see bare man out here these days got time to waste,
Chatting with gyal dem tryna be girlfriend, fam don’t play,
I’m in the void,
No conception no guessing direction you’re being destroyed,
And I still got Gs to deploy,
Ops still chasing decoys,
Spinning like b boys, looking like small boys searching for Pokémon,
I’m on the high ground,
Rising,
I’m in disguise now,
Fighting,
Solomon,
A$CII Dagger,
Dissolving,
No such thing no solving,
What kind of shit you involved in?
I need a particular solvent,
Fam,
I feel the steel on my neck,
It’s not a new feeling might as well be sippin’ Darjeeling,
We don’t choose what happens,
But we survive,
He thinks he’s hard and whatnot,
But I want to die.

_Human Waste Verse_
This task force against dark forces,
We dark horses with no remorse,
It’s coward season, we don’t outsource,
ACAB for life, you know of course,
Babylon system we don’t endorse,
Show them the meaning of excessive force,
These sordid pagans, down the ages,
Cause frustration in heavy rotation,
From running plantations, to running nations,
Stacking paper and tax evasion,
Beneficiaries of wealth from slavery and colonisation,
You call this civilisation?
You need aggressive re-education,
Where’s the reparations?
Won’t stop until the foundations are shaken – RISING!

For the second single of ‘Barricade’, Matthew Hayes and Charlie Perry are joined by the formidable Allysha Joy.  Well versed in poetry and performance, Allysha Joy lends her husky, spoken vocals and potent lyricism to ‘I Can Hear You’. Her unique musicianship and killer vocals have garnered legions of attentive fans the world over, both as a solo artist and as part of the acclaimed 30/70 Collective. Allysha Joy is an artist that presents a palette of intricate grace and optimism, whilst unafraid of adding uncomfortable truths. 

“To have Allysha, one of the most prolific, talented and powerful musicians to come out of Melbourne, if not Australia, in the past five years, feature on the track is a real honour. Her grace and ease in the way she delivered her prose, sits perfectly against the rest of the record.” - Charlie Perry

Matthew Hayes and Charlie Perry come together to present Barricade, a record that instills hope and softness with a delicate balance of intricate bass guitar, electronic ambience and spoken word. The fusing of these elements imbues a sense of vulnerability, introspection and hopefulness throughout the entirety of the record, inspiring a calmness and beauty that emerges from amongst the ceaseless din of the world around us.

Hayes approached fellow musician and spoken word artist Charlie Perry at the beginning of 2020, to collaborate on some recordings originally written while on tour in Europe. The pair instantly hit it off and the idea to complete a record together was formed, not to be set back by the shutdown of the world almost immediately after. Hayes, caught in Europe mid-tour, based himself in the south of France, while Perry retreated to Australia’s southern coastline in the small beachside town of Fairhaven. This cross continental collaboration continued over many months as the world around them reeled from the results of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The album features other notable collaborations, such as the guest appearance of renowned saxophonist and JK Group bandleader Joshua Kelly on 'Introduction'; the one and only Allysha Joy delivers her unique talent with a soft yet powerful performance on 'I Can Hear You', and the versatile brilliance of Aarti Jadu shines in 'You Care I Know'.

As a whole, this record is a document of the power of creativity, community and hopefulness in a world that stands disjointed. It is a record that embraces rawness and vulnerability, and is executed with a sophisticated nuance and ease.

Matthew Hayes & Charlie Perry ‘Barricade’ out everywhere Friday, November 20.
