AKATZ ha estado en el cruce de caminos que hay entre Kingston y Bilbao charlando con el espíritu burlón del mardi grass de Nueva Orleans, quien les ha señalado nuevos rumbos para continuar su ruta creativa. Los no iniciados recibirán su nuevo álbum como pollos sin cabeza, como una feroz revelación, y los adeptos de toda la vida celebrarán el acontecimiento con ofrendas de humo, aguardiente y baile infinito.

AKATZ - La Misión

Always b/w Always (Instrumental)

The Frightnrs - Always

Carlton Jumel Smith is back on Timmion Records, doing what he does best: grooving, testifying and romancing his way into your heart. His last album for the label 1634 Lexington Ave. left many contemporary soul fans in awe – some in tears of joy – and they will be pleased to know that he has something new cooking in 2022. 

The first release from an upcoming trilogy of singles, "Devoted To You" packs everything you could want from a mid-tempo jam. A steady tambourine beat rides the mellow Cold Diamond & Mink groove, leaving Carlton all the pockets he needs to fill with his ever-funky but delicate delivery.

Keep tuned this year for a bunch of new soulful tracks from Carlton and Cold Diamond & Mink. They will keep you warm and cozy through any kind of weather!

WDD Meets NESJO - Cascade

Track from the conceptual album RAWTOWN. Divided into four chapters, inspired by the phases of the moon, these 4 phases illustrate a cyclical process that goes from darkness to light, darkness being a reflection of individualism and light the symbol of the feeling of total community. The album narrates how the individual reinvents his spaces and learns to share them, drinking from the legacy of the generations that preceded us and putting everything learned collectively at the disposal of those to come. 

The plot line is musically armored by a succession of themes in which the band walks through a wide range of the styles of Jamaican music, always in a justified way, and with an intrinsic link to its own roots.
