Nice!! Ambient is getting love now man! We need more! ✨💛

Marking the 15th anniversary of Dixon’s & Georg Levin’s album „Take It Personal“ under their moniker Wahoo, we proudly re-release their classic „Don´t Take It Personal (Georg Levin Edit)“ featuring Paul Randolph.
  
Originally a B-Side of the single „I’m Your Lover“, this alternative version of the album’s opener quickly became a fan favorite & was featured, among others, on Gilles Peterson’s „In the House“ on Defected.

It was not until last year when Moodymann put this version on a playlist he curated for GTA that we found out that it was not available on streaming platforms. At the end the track didn’t made it into the game but at least we got reminded that this one exists. 

Still sounding fresh & genuinely soulful, the song’s lyrics could not have been more timely as a mantra for this day and age: „Whatever comes around, don’t let it get you down, you’re on solid ground - don’t take it personal.“

Give your mind a treat. Here is some Axel Boman, an up and coming producer from Stockholm, Sweden. Axel has already collaborated with big names and accomplished much in a short time. I have a lot of respect for people who can make their own distinct sound in the torrent of noise that has become the music scene.
Barcelona is a track on his latest EP, Family Vacation.

YSE Saint Laur'Ant - Fool Out Of Me


Alabaster DePlume 
“Peach”
Debt Records
28th Sept 2015

A peach is a sweet and soft and good thing with a stone in the middle, and this is an album about being a person. Smartphones, analogue tape, valve microphones, computers, group games and a grand banquet were used to create this collection of songs, tunes and monologues, that use a series of contradictions to talk about being alive. 

Long-term collaborators John Ellis (piano) and Paddy Steer (percussion, bass, lapsteel, synth) join Angus Fairbairn (vocal, tenor sax) along with eleven other musicians and nearly a hundred other voices in presenting sounds likened to Ethiopian jazz and Japanese folk music. Scripts and vocal delivery evoke Ivor Cutler, Emo Philips and Leonard Cohen, for this combination of theatre, live-captured music, songs, humour and philosophy.

It is a unique collection, made by unusual means designed around the artistry and conveyance of its many contributors. Created over three years in London and Manchester, it’ll be celebrated in those two towns on the dates below, following its vinyl and digital release on Manchester label Debt Records, on 28th September 2015.

A composer, musician and performer, Alabaster DePlume (Angus Fairbairn) has toured northern Europe, appeared on UK national radio and developed theatre for Bram Stoker Festival in Dublin. His many combined arts projects are based around music, and personal inclusion. In this, his third album, he has employed as many voices as he can, in conveying a method of survival he’s been taught, he says, by everyone he’s met.

Hope grows naturally, like a
dandelion between the bricks.
I feel good…
