I'm loving the beat, soft and mellow just how I like it

(Giveaway) Keep On Walking

Following the success of the Yumi & The Weather E.P, We at XVI are delighted to welcome home one of our original family members, the mystic, elusive & relentlessly soulful Henry Wu with two beautifully crafted new tracks. 

Natural Complexion combines undeniable grooves with a vintage, lo-fi ambience, completed with Henry's vocals flowing seamlessly over the intertwined rhythms. On the flip side, Dutty Dub moves into jazz -infused broken beat territory, featuring dream -like synth waves washing over scattered drum patterns and some truly phenomenal keyboard playing. 

Released on February 24th.

Playing with Dilla's beats is just another way for me to practice and improvise, guess I'm not the only one doing that.
 
There's no losin' game when playin' with Love 
that's what I've learned from you, Dilla.

Celebrating 20 years of Barely Breaking even, independent UK record label presents a series of exclusive DJ mixes to mark the occasion. Available in both mixed and unmixed formats, the series includes a stellar lineup of DJs, selecting their personal favourites and obscure gems from BBE's bounty of classic titles.

The first BBE20 mix in the series comes from highly respected UK DJ and mix-tape specialist Chris Read, the man behind BBC New Music Award winning electronica outfit Maylight and compiler of BBE's 2012 album 'Latin Concrete', which was featured as 'Album Of The Week' by the Independent newspaper. The first of two mixes produced by Chris in celebration of BBE's 20th birthday, the first installment guides the listener on a journey through some of BBE's sultry downtempo and hip hop cuts, steadily making its way toward warm soul and disco, expertly building up momentum over the course of 23 genre-hopping tracks in the mix's 65 minute run-time.

昨年リリースしたデビューシングル「EP01」は、ここ日本を経由しヨーロッパ各地のビートシーンでも話題となり、瞬く間にその名前を知らしめたニュージーランドの若きビートメーカー／プロデューサー＜クリストフ・エル・トルエント＞、注目のセカンド・シングルはなんと、「ジャズ」。黒人音楽や実験音楽、電子音楽、ブラジル音楽の影響をつよく受け、彼が持つ音楽的な豊かさとヴィジョンがビートミュージックという枠を超え、これまでどのビートメイカーも思い描かなかった圧倒的な世界へと導く本作。現在のビートシーンが突入した新次元の表現のあり方を象徴的にあらわした作品と言えだろう。参加ミュージシャンにはニュージーランドのビートシーンの旗手、ジュリアン・ダインがドラムスにホーンにはFunkommunityとして活動するIsaac AesiliのWNアーティストが全面強力バックアップ、予想を遙かに越えたビートメーカーが描く現代進行形の「ジャズ」、絶対聴き逃すな！ アートワークはNujabesをはじめとするHydeout関連のジャケットも手掛ける、FJD（藤田二郎）による本作をイメージした幻想的で美しい世界観を描いたデザインを採用。

● Christoph El Truentoプロフィール
クリストフ・エル・トルエント（Christoph El Truento）はニュージーランドのオークランド出身の音楽プロデューサー、DJ。おもにビートミュージックを手がけるが、ジャズやエレクトロ・ミュージックの影響をつよく受けており、強い重低音と特異なリズム、ときにはミニマルなビートを作り出すのが特徴的である。デビューEPはグルーブマン・スポットなどの国内トップ・プロデューサー達も注目しカルト・ヒットした。近く発表するアルバムではSUN RA、Alice Coltraneなどにインスパイアーされ実験音楽〜エレクトロミュージック〜ジャズへと消化しビートミュージックを超越したアルバム「What We Used To Know」をリリース予定。

“Kamala is the manifestation of kama, which is all pleasure and individual experiences with one or more senses: hearing, tasting, smelling, seeing and feeling—assisted by the mind together with the soul. Experiencing harmonious music is kama, as is being inspired by natural  beauty,  the  aesthetic  appreciation  of  a  work  of  art,  and  admiring  with  joy something created by another human being...”

Founded in 1996 by Peter Adarkwah, Barely Breaking Even (BBE Music) started life as a London club night, taking its name from the eponymous Disco record by the Universal Robot Band.

The label grew from the vibrant early 90's club scene with its first release, Stop & Listen compiled by Dr Bob Jones in 1996, opening the door to iconic series' such as All Back To Mine & Late Nite Tales.

A tonne of releases followed, ranging from Disco to Funk, Jazz to House. In the year 2000, the label celebrated Masters at Work's 10th Anniversary with a mighty box set that featured near 80 tracks.

A year later BBE Music spawned the Beat Generation Series of artist albums, notably introducing J Dilla (Welcome 2 Detroit) & a young Will.I.Am's first solo outing, alongside DJ Jazzy Jeff, Madlib & DJ Spinna, all of whom contributed to this seminal set of long players.

A quarter of a century and well over 500 titles later, having worked with Mark Ronson, Roy Ayers, Questlove, Hugh Masekela, DJ Premier, Dimitri from Paris, Joey Negro, Kon, RZA, Laurent Garnier, Black Coffee, DJ Shadow, David Rodigan and John Morales among many others, BBE Music looks to the future, celebrating its rich heritage while continuing to release a bounty of fresh titles.

The label’s most recent projects include an expansive reissue series from pioneering Nigerian label Tabansi, new imprint ‘Batakari’ in association with Boddhi Satva and the critically acclaimed ‘J Jazz’ Japanese Jazz multi-album project, not to mention the recent landmark 500th label release: a brand new version of 'Barely Breaking Even', featuring Leroy Burgess, Patrick Adams and Louie Vega.

In 2021 BBE Music is celebrating its 25th anniversary. To mark this milestone, the label is offering up some special projects, from the 20th Anniversary edition of J Dilla’s ‘Welcome 2 Detroit’, through David Bowie tribute album ‘Modern Love’, to a special new ‘Worldwide’ compilation from old friend Gilles Peterson. BBE Music will also be looking to the future with more exciting original artist projects, plus merch collaborations events and more...
