Jitwam - Keepyourbusinesstoyourself

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.

Rhythm Section International (@bradleyzero) releases are connected by a certain sound; there is a feeling that brings these records together and makes them cohesive. Rhythm Section has cultivated this Peckham vibe despite the fact that several of its artists are transplants from the opposite side of the world: Dan Kye (aka Jordan Rakei) comes from Brisbane, and Chaos In The CBD relocated from Auckland. The group behind the track we are premiering today also hails from down under.

30/70 (@thirtyseventy)are a collective from Melbourne who fuse jazz, hip-hop, r&b, soul and funk to create striking pieces. Their debut album, « Cold Radish Coma, » incorporates free-jazz experimentalism into lush harmonies alongside the addictive melodies of lead singer Allysha Joy. It truly is an incredible listen.

The band’s new record, « Elevate, » presents a stylistic synthesis with a refined structure. Instead of separate interludes, songs are accompanied with preludes and conclusions reminiscent of Radiohead’s robotic ‘Fitter Happier,’ as well as ad-libbed instrumentals. The opening song, ‘Slangin,’ is a slow-burning cosmic-jazz exploration until its dramatic change-up to distorted funk-rap. The A2 track, ‘Lucid,’ provides a transition, contrasting complex rhythms beneath an arpeggiated synth motif, which feeds perfectly into ‘Nu Spring.’

The Return 

Kamaal Williams - High Roller

Budapest born and based producer/keyboardist Szabolcs Bognar starts his new collaborative jazz project https://soundcloud.com/abasemusic with debut single "Skeme goes all city".
The base of the track is a smooth cinematic sounding riverbed of soothing harmonies where different instruments flow around in repetitive phrases. Every phrase repeats itself in the perfect length, as soon as you get your fix - a new melody kicks in.
"We wrote and recorded the track in one improvised studio session back in 2016. I brought the harmonic structure and the main melody and the band built on top of that. Everyone brought something to the table. It was recorded in the oldschool way, all the musicians in the same room, no headphones, no chance for correcting mistakes or editing. Raw. The title is a dedication to the New York graffiti pioneer Skeme and the power of self expression in Hip Hop culture." - Àbáse

"Fanni Zahár - flute, vocals 
Szabolcs Bognár - Rhodes 
Tamás Heilig - bass 
Tamás Czirják - drums 

Recorded, mixed & mastered at Studio Einz, Budapest 

Cover design by Fabian Kretz"
