In recent years Hiatus Kaiyote have gone from Down Under to somewhere near the stratosphere. After 2012’s ‘Tawk Tomahawk’ had drawn the attention of Europe and the US, the exciting Aussie quartet officially reached big deal status when Gilles Peterson bestowed upon them his coveted Breakthrough Act of the Year in 2013.
Fanclub membership from no less icons than Prince and Questlove would follow, and a Grammy nomination last year for ‘Breathing Underwater’ peaked their critically lauded Melbourne mix of soul, jazz and funk also found comfortable in the charts.
Said nomination was actually down in part to being an unabashed tribute to Stevie Wonder, with ‘Breathing Underwater’ seeing lead singer and Wonder disciple Nai Palm pay homage to the superstar.
Taking a short cut through the whole six degrees of separation equation, DJ Spinna, another conspicuous fan of the band and someone who knows a thing or two about Wonder, made sure the man himself got to hear the track, ahead of remixing the original and bringing close a dancefloor from far far away.
Spinna’s own take on cosmic disco is all in a day’s work for a producer who time and again shows ease of transition between hip-hop, soul, groove, disco, funk and all in between. A mixture of warmth and fragility, across both vocal and instrumental versions, continues the band’s starry ascent.

WotNot Music is a London-based record label putting out "music for the open minded". With over thirty releases under their belt they have been home to many a producer, with certain names such as Glenn Astro, K15 and Soccer96 being particular standouts. Transcending traditional genre boundaries, their output sees influences from all ends of the sonic spectrum where jazz, broken beat, house and others are equally at home. Release number 32 comes from Danvers (soundcloud), who can now be considered a regular on the label as this is his second EP and third release overall for WotNot.

The "Interludes" EP features three originals and two remixes of the B1 cut. Starting off the EP is Mason, an off-beat heater with delectable jazzy flavours and some easily recognized vocal chops from none other than Puff Daddy. Aye Ata is the big room pick of the bunch, packed full of thumping, broken beat kicks, heavily reverbed percussion and just the right amount of pulsing chord stabs. 1997 perhaps takes a more recognizable approach with a 4x4 rhythm, heavy sub and pulsing chords while Diddy's voice makes another appearance, this time giving an almost eerie feel to the composition. Frits Wentink gives us his take on 1997 with his familiar wonky and lo-fi sound, turning the original into an almost unrecognizable lo-fi groover.

The final remix and our premiere today comes from fellow Londoner Warren Xclnce and features rising musician Joe Armon-Jones on keyboard duties. This cut was a surprise gift rework from Warren to his 38 East studio partner, Danvers. The chords from 1997 are retained but the natural sounding shuffling and pattering percussion give the track a completely different feel. Joe Armon-Jones sprinkles quite a bit of his jazzy magic around them, noodling on the ever familiar yet always pleasing Rhodes piano, which transforms this composition into a deep and mesmerizing gem.

Label co-founder Kaye kick off the year with another drop of his Sam Pearl series of club-tested, dancer-approved edits. Building on the success of Vol. 1 and his highly played Bollywood edits, Vol. 2 features four cuts that have been lighting up dancefloors at Darker Than Wax parties for a minute now. ‘Gotta Keep’ and ‘Beat Goes On’ distill the indulgent sound of two disco classics into peak time weapons, while ‘Wu Tang Brought Me Here’ is a slow building injection of smooth soul. On the housier side of things, ‘Fuzz Wuz Redux’ sees Kaye revisiting a crucial Cosa Nostra track from the early days of the label. Essential cuts to add a touch of soul to any dancefloor.

Kaye - Wu Tang Brought Me Here (Sam Pearl Vol. 2)

Bad Colours (real name Ibe Soliman) spent a lot of time during lockdown listening to Marvin Gaye, and the late Prince of Soul's influence is nowhere felt stronger than on Soliman's new single "Get You Off". A swanky instrumental with bass as smooth as butter is the perfect complement to Marcus Harmon's breathy falsetto. As sexy as it is infectiously groovy, this peach of a nu-disco track is sure to get you off. 

	Bad Colours is the moniker of London-born, Maryland-raised, Brooklyn-based DJ, songwriter, producer, and instrumentalist Ibe Soliman. The new project came together while isolating at home in Flatbush during the COVID-19 pandemic and was inspired by rough ideas, instrumental loops, and vocal samples that friends sent him. Known for his residencies at some of New York’s top venues, Ibe has been rocking crowds as a DJ for over a decade, and has shared the decks with the likes of James Murphy, Mark Ronson, and Q-Tip. He’s performed alongside Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg, Pusha T, and Young Thug, to name a few. When Ibe’s not in the booth, he’s in the lab, where he’s produced for Kendrick Lamar, Faith Evans, Keyshia Cole, and Rick Ross, among others. His debut album ‘PINK’ is set for release by Bastard Jazz on 26th February 2021.
