"The overall concept of BLK Muzak was to combine a beat maker aesthetic to a historical and political landscape of afrofuturism. I wanted BLK Muzak to be a conversation with our iconic symbolism. The symbols that have always sustained marginalized people and those that are at the very heart of black music." - Ra of Mourning [A] BLKStar

Creating songs of both eulogy and revolution, the expansion of 21st century black consciousness is felt in waves through Ohio's Mourning [A] BLKStar. A force that has deep conviction, purpose, and weight, songs are voiced through the lens of chopped up drum grooves, stark melodies, and historic sample pulls. Afrofuturism is felt in paramount form within the group, scheduled to give the world their sophomore LP BLK Muzak (Glue Moon Records) July 14th, 2017. The album will land on LP and digital formats, followed by select touring in their region. Mourning [A] BLKStar is bringing forth a conversation that aligns with the political and emotional state of this world, drawing together modern day spirituals of reverence and despair.

Formed behind the vision of group leader Ra Washington, BLK Muzak paints a vivid picture of the complexities surrounding the human condition. A survey of life is distilled through the fabric of the album's soul, encompassing themes such as spiritual ascension, structural counter balances in society, diverse communal values, the unchaining of the spirit, love for self, and revolution. Every word and lyric is galvanized into the diaspora of 21st century African-American culture, serving as both a force of light and a schematic to survival and independence.

Taking on influences as wide ranging as Eddie Gale's late '60s spiritual jazz opus Ghetto Music and the world-renowned works of poet, playwright and essayist June Jordan, BLK Muzak is life through sound. With the group comprising vocalists LaToya Kent, Kyle Kidd, and James Longs, a full spectrum of knowledge and harmony is offered. Scintillating vocal runs spiral over smoldering synth bass and hard hitting snares and kicks. An arena where the presence of a Dead Prez and a Gil Scott-Heren are pulled into the same tapestry of culture. The name of the group finds a shared passageway to multiple worlds and reflects the importance of the music, showing honor and acknowledgement to the lives that've died at the hands of police, along with the beauty and expressive legacy of African-American artistry.

When looking at the roads that led to the creation of BLK Muzak, it's important to understand the history of the group. Group leader Ra Washington plots out the following timeline, "It was originally just me doing what I've been up to for more than a decade: make a batch of beats and record over them. But this time I wanted some different voices around me, so I invited LaToya Kent, who I've known since high school, and James Longs who I've known for at least five years. We recorded twenty songs and then after listening back to the roughs, we decided that maybe this could be a band. We enlisted a jazz singer named Kyle Kidd and went back to the studio and recorded eleven more and from that we put together BLK Muzak. I think for me it was a real reflective time. One of my best friends had been murdered and I was kind of floundering in making. I didn't know if I should keep going because it hadn't been that much distro of the projects and I felt like maybe the idea of making a living as an artist was a misnomer. LaToya was itching to record and James had never done it professionally with original content. So I think we were all looking for a spark but we didn't want to just make something, we wanted it to be impactful and original."

BLK Muzak will be available July 14, 2017 on Glue Moon Records and will be offered on vinyl and digital platforms.

Though beats and fuzzy hip-hop instrumentals may be all the rage, jitwam (apparently from Manipur, but currently based in Brooklyn?) offers something more out of the box with his original slow-motion funk, dusty soul and cassette-spun R&B.

Recent features include Moodymann’s inaugral mix for DJ-Kicks, radio support from the likes of Gilles Peterson (BBC), collaborations with Inkswel and Paul White (MCDE, R&S), and live shows played at the now legendary Low End Theory parties in L.A and with Yuusef Kamaal (Brownswood).

"Scrimshire's edits are synonymous with our imprint, and every one has been of the highest quality, often hand-picking the more obscure works you never knew you loved, from some of your favourite soul voices.

And as we turn 21 (release-wise) he pulls it out of the bag once again, rework Chaka's string-laiden "Some Love" into a monstrous dance-floor destroyer; adding some serious sliced and diced funk chops to Merry Clayton's percussion heavy version of "Keep Your Eye on the Sparrow"; and finally, subtly and tastefully turning McNeal + Niles' rare slow and soulful treat, "Summertime Love" into a late night Balearic beauty.

The perfect summer soundtrack and another sure-fire Dubplate winner!" -Wah Wah 45s

Lyrics:
They have left the world, 
The singing is over
Trees on graves in an embrace
An angel on the gates, 
Memorial day
A girl with the wreath in her hands. 

Where are you and the others? 

Lord has left the world,
Who’s on the way? 
A calm pale face on a crucifix. 
An angel on the gates,
Memorial day
A girl with the wreath in her hands

You & The Others

Lyrics:
She doesn't believe in sand and numbers
She doesn't believe in days and hours 

No more time, no more years
Her life is an open space,  
No more hours, no more days
Her life is an open space, 
The body dies, the spirit stays

Only sunrises and sunsets, the shadows dance 
She watches them come and fade away

No more time, no more years
Her life is an open space,  
No more hours, no more days
Her life is an open space, 
The body dies, the spirit stays
In eternity haze
The spirit stays
In eternity waves

No More Time

I Only Wanted The Best For Ya

Romantic Fiction - the debut LP from Curses - is an honest musical expression drawing inﬂuences from his youth growing up in NYC in the 80s. References to new wave, post-punk, synth music and early EBM are skillfully merged with the DIY approach of punk and rock n roll angst. Brandishing an immersive sonic palette, all instruments throughout the album were played and recorded by the artist.
Exhausted by the current state of competitive dance music monotony, Romantic Fiction is a collection of songs, not DJ tools: songs that work at home, but also in the club should the right crowd beckon.
It’s about escapism and ﬁnding comfort in the unknown, fulﬁlling the empty void by embracing the mysterious. Darkness is a light undiscovered, not something to be frightened of.
Curses also invites friends who share a mutual love for incorporating post punk and new wave into contemporary electronic music. Perel delivers mighty Nina Hagen-esque operatic punk vocals on the ﬁrst single, 'Gold & Silber', whilst Dischi Autunno label boss Jennifer Cardini and Curses share a duet on the cold wave silk of 'Silence In The Dark'.
As an amalgamation of inﬂuences from multiple decades, Romantic Fiction is a deeply personal album, triggering a feeling that is unnerving at times, familiar and welcoming at others.

Once Apart is the new single from Josin.

Josin – the project from German composer and producer Arabella Rauch – has announced the release of her highly anticipated debut album In The Blank Space on January 25th, 2019 via Dumont Dumont / MVKA Records.

Join about Once Apart
"Once Apart describes the state of being separated from one another. It´s not necessarily a place where you lose connection, it can even be something that gets you closer and everything you feel is floating, growing and waiting to become concrete again. The absence of the physical makes room for an inner connection. „My eyes are filled with your space“ is probably the main statement, meaning that once we´re apart we become one. „Once Apart“ has never been performed live on stage - I don´t know why, but it has always been a song that I just kept playing on the piano for myself. I think that it would particularly demand more of my emotional AND technical focus on stage and I didn´t feel ready for it until now. The song has evolved over the last 3 years and I´m glad it has found its way onto the record."

City Park - Holding Me High

Roll credits! Ensemble Entendu - a collaboration between Evan Shornstein (Photay) and Astro Nautico co-founder Sam O.B. - return with their first piece of music since Selected Rhythm Works Vol. 1, the duo's debut album released almost 2 years ago exactly. We all feel the passing of time, for better or for worse, but in this case it’s marked with celebration for the past, present and future. A jubilant romper, 'Time Is Certainly Passing' pays homage to stadium pop legends like Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel in a balearic adaptation more suited to intimate, fluorescent dancefloors. Driven by a rhythm at once tropical, disco and afro-beat, painted with soaringly cosmic synth orchestration washed through grand canyons of reverb, Ensemble Entendu have announced their re-arrival here underlined and bold, a testament to the confidence both artists have achieved together over time with their sound as a powerhouse creative tag-team. Keep your ears to the ground for more to come!

Time Is Certainly Passing

Ensemble Entendu - Time Is Certainly Passing

SF Bay Area's TRKRNR (Track Runner) team up with Trailer Limon (one half of SF's The Pendletons) to create two insta-classics for the dance floor and the bedrooms. 

The A side, Stimulate, a a playfull sex-funk exploration that will elevate dance floors and get pulses racing, while on the flip is "No Summer Days", a smooth, vibey Sade-esque track. This record definitely showcases TRKRNR and Limon's love for creating classic sounding songs that would be at home played back to back with Rick James or Blondie. 

TRKRNR (Track Runner) based in Richmond, California, is comprised of childhood friends Saul Vallens (Allen Valenzuela) & multi-instrumentalist and singer Gyrefunk (Vincent Czekus). The two musicians and dancers, who grew up together in San Jose, Ca., draw on deep backgrounds of house, hip hop, rock and pop to create a future facing, genre-busting sound that is both soulful and highly danceable. Employing everything from kalimbas, djembes, synthesizers, guitars, bass and basically anything they can get their hands on, the two continue to turn out friendly, crowd pleasing music that is modern yet classic. They are at home making four on the floor bangers as they are making psychadelic beat pop, dreamy lounge and tightly produced hip hop.
