Vibes.

South London’s multi-instrumental producer INTALEKT presents ‘THE MASTA RETURNS’ the epic sequel to his 2019 release ‘The Adventures Of Masta Splinta’.

Alongside his solo projects, Intalekt has collaborated with such respected artists as Kojey Radical, Jay Prince, Marie Dahlstrom and Lex Amor. Intalekt has been previously supported by publications CLASH,The Line Of Best Fit, RWD Mag, Complex UK, Trench & Stereofox.

‘THE MASTA RETURNS’ is a Jazz / Beats concept album that amalgamates sophisticated live instrumentation and cinematic MIDI production work. The MASTA, having momentarily reached a point of enlightenment, suddenly finds he must set sail again for new adventures, fighting the never ending battle of mind against spirit. The project appeals at once to the educated musician, the Beats head and the peace seeking warrior within us all.

Intalekt has released 2 singles from the project prior to it’s release. ‘SEE, KING’ is a double edged metaphor for the seeking of peace of mind, and the necessity of being able to see yourself as your greatest self. Follow up single ‘RESOLVE’ marks the slow sonic ascent from battles and adventures - when the obstacles to peace of mind have been defeated.

As an accomplished pianist and drummer, Intalekt has applied his musical intuition to ‘THE MASTA RETURNS’ to significantly evolve the Beats form within 10 tracks of expertly affected ethereal soundscapes that swirl like the ghosts of the ancient past. A blend of quantised and Dilla-esque drum production propel Modal guitar and melodic synths that cascade alongside a horn section. The project inspires imagery ranging from breezes whispering in the rushes to chariots galloping triumphantly away from crumbling empires.

The project will be released in both digital and physical vinyl format. There will also be a limited comic available to buy illustrated by The Asian Loner, that bridges the gap between ‘The Adventures Of Masta Splinta’ and ‘THE MASTA RETURNS’. It will give an identity to THE MASTA and thus Intalekt, for THE MASTA is a metaphor for the many trials of his mind.

Sivey recently hit us with the edit of Frank O's 'Pink Matter' and as soon as we hit play we knew it was a classic refix. Whether you've heard of Sivey or not, he is one of the best in the world. He has one of the most refreshing production styles. At the moment he is working on a collaboration with <b>Evil Needle</b> and is also working on his solo EP that is scheduled to release early 2013 on Soulection. Please pay attention.

Here are some words from the man himself:

"<i>What's up people, my name is Sivey, I'm a producer/remixer/beatmaker from the UK. The idea to remix "Pink Matter" came to me before I'd even finished listening to the original track for the first time. The bluesy, melancholic chords were screaming at me to throw some synths on them and see what happened. Originally I had planned to make an instrumental edit, just looping the intro riff as a sample, but as the original track is quite minimal I tried applying my parts over the whole song which worked surprisingly well. Arranging my production around the vocals resulted in a gradual "slow-burn" build-up that hopefully reflects the growing intensity of the original piece. I hope you enjoy the track.</i>"
