Losing You

Losing You (Strike Mix)

Born in Chicago, raised in Detroit: the best of both world! 

Living legend Alton Miller @altonmillermusic joins the Italian label Roots Underground @rootsundergroundrecords for its 8th vinyl release, keeping the usual trademark sound that forged his legend for the past 30 years! 

The EP "From the Future" is opened with "Crossing", a hypnotic, rhythmic track of over 9 minutes wrapped in a deep atmosphere. The break leads to a really warm trip and the overall track demonstrates the dancefloor side of this prolific Afro-american producer. 

The B-side starts with "The World Needs Love", kind of a spiritual house music, with ethereal keyboards, arpeggios and a vocal sample that adds a certain emotion to the track. 

Our personal favorite is the closing tune "Brooklyn" with its latin-influenced percussions and deep sounds reminding us about the early NYC house music, yet in a new, forward thinking way that we really enjoyed.

The irrepressible 30/70 return to Rhythm Section International with a hot and heavy surprise single, ‘Tastes Like Freedom’, just in time for the 3rd summer of love. Emotive, intimate and provoking a radical sensuality only Allysha Joy and her ensemble can conjure, TLF expands and unfolds over 9 minutes of free-floating jazz-funk. Ziggy Zeitgeist’s skittering, broken beat-leaning hats and Josh Kelly’s 90’s film noir-esc saxophone coalesce to throw the mood down-town. As always, the band go deep... Still, it hits a steppy tempo ~ perfectly poised for the summer dancefloor. It’s a blissful, lively roller as much as it’s a nostalgia-drenched neo-soul love song. And with a remix package on the way from some of the finest producers in electronic music, you can be sure ‘Tastes Like Freedom’ will be causing a stir. 

Over the last few years, 30/70 have become something of a supergroup: with Allysha Joy, Ziggy Zeitgeist, Josh Kelly and Matthew Hayes all soaring as solo artists and band leaders. Individual talents aside, there’s nothing quite like the 30/70 collective united as one unstoppable force; 
and the synergy is palpable in this tantalising tour-de force. 

30/70 have seen previous support from across the board from Gilles Peterson, Carista, Jamz Supernova, Jamie Cullum, Tom Ravenscroft, Alex Nut, Children of Zeus & Mary Anne-Hobbs.

It's a pleasure to preview the deep and soulful sounds of "Oh Mar" by Alma Negra. A brand new cut from the forthcoming 'Two Tribes Volume Two' compilation on Agogo Records. 

Alma Negra is a DJ collective & live band based in Basel, Switzerland. Two members have roots in Cape Verde and bring its rich musical history into the mix. 

They have released music on labels such as Heist Recordings, Sofrito, Basic Fingers, Highlife, Lumberjacks in Hell and have formed their own Alma Negra-imprint as well. They hold a DJ residency at Switzerland's most famous jazz and music club 'Moods' in Zürich.

'Two Tribes Volume Two' is an intercontinental journey in rhythm, compiled by Ubbo Gronewold and Tobi Kirsch

Ubbo and Tobi tell us, "Not long after the release of Two Tribes Vol. 1 we realized that our journey had only just begun and lots of stories still had to be told. Motivated by lots of positive response we soon put to work researching and compiling music for what you are holding in your hands right now. We put our emphasis on expanding to other European regions and on including different countries than on Vol. 1 and we also wanted to give it a bit of a different musical twist. 

The result are 14 tracks covering what we consider a broad and diverse spectrum but still clinging to our initial idea of building a musical bridge between the continents Africa and Europe. The immense cultural diversity of both is represented by newcomers alongside more well-known names, both of which have a strong connection to the rich musical traditions of Africa. 

On board are African artists living in diaspora on equal footing with Europeans that incorporate their high affinity to the African continent into their music. Exciting outernational collaborations round off the selection for Vol. 2."

"Oh Mar" is released on Monday July 19th, ahead of the full compilation, 'Two Tribes Volume Two'.

Italian maestro @sofa-talk keeps the groove alive on the B-side of his mini LP for Broken District. With the track "Ella", he sends us into the sweaty, steamy atmosphere of modern Louisiana blues.

Part of "The Difference EP"
Quintessentials

Atlanta’s hot shot Stefan Ringer is the man for the last Quintessentials release in 2020. He has been building up his reputation with eclectic music on NDATL Muzik, People of Earth or his own FWM Entertainment label and he now makes „The difference“ for Quintessentials. Stefan Ringer offers up a loose and soulful take on MPC-made house full of deep tips and sci-fi tricks. „Otw“ and „Shakyabody“ are a well balanced mixture of smooth and raw with catchy rhythms, subtle vocals, warped synths and dirty claps. „Evolution“ is an 11 minutes long monster of a ambientish track - deep, dreamy and the perfect sound to reflect on a turbulant year. This is the difference! By Stefan Ringer!
