Aspects

STR4TA “Aspects” (Greg Wilson Version)

(English)

Following the release of her critically-acclaimed trilogy “Meditations I-II-III”, FOXTROTT announces a new chapter with “The Motion/Looking For Your Love”. The pair of songs is the first of a new series of independently-released diptychs to be rolled out over the course of the year. FOXTROTT throws away the rulebook and wants to take us along on her journey. “I love the short form of the diptych in music, where one piece resonates with the other, in a dialogue. It’s a mini-universe of its own. After a few years navigating the music industry with its ups and downs, I wanted to reconnect with spontaneity, ease and the joy of sharing music. By moving away from more rigid structures, I feel a renewed enthusiasm. Honestly, I feel like I am just getting started.” The two pieces are entirely written, interpreted and produced by FOXTROTT, with contributions by OURI on cello and harp.

FOXTROTT amorce un nouveau chapitre avec « The Motion/Looking For Your Love », faisant suite à sa trilogie « Meditations I-II-III », encensée par la critique. Cette paire de pièces musicales constitue la première d’une nouvelle série de diptyques qui sera présentée au cours de l’année. FOXTROTT fait fi des règles et nous invite à la suivre dans ce nouveau périple. « J’aime la forme courte du diptyque en musique, où une pièce résonne avec l’autre dans une sorte de dialogue. Ce sont des mini-univers en soi. Après quelques années à me frayer un chemin dans l’industrie de la musique avec ses joies et ses problèmes, je ressentais le besoin de me reconnecter avec la spontanéité, la légèreté de la forme et avec la joie de partager la musique. En m’éloignant des structures plus rigides, j’éprouve un enthousiasme renouvelé. J’ai l’impression que je ne fais que commencer. » Ces deux pièces sont entièrement composées, interprétées et produites par FOXTROTT, avec une contribution de l’artiste OURI au violoncelle et à la harpe.

Brownswood are delighted to announce that we have signed Cuban singer Daymé Arocena.
Daymé was part of the Havana Cultura Mix project, which saw Gilles Peterson mentoring selected producers from around the world to make a record in Cuba with local musicians. She auditioned, prompting all producers to decide they wanted to work with her... In the end, she sung on three tracks on the album, including the massive "U Knew Before”. Seeing huge potential in her, Gilles invited her to London to perform at the album launch event, where she enchanted the packed out audience, and it was decided she should record a solo project for Brownswood Recordings / Havana Cultura. The announcement brought out a loud, rich, infectious laugh instantly recognizable as Dayme’s deep and chocolaty voice. “My first record, here,” she squeals. “It’s a crazy dream.”

Solid Steel in association with Serato (27th May) With the release of their new album 'Patience' just around the corner, The Invisible return to Solid Steel in Hr 1. They appeared in 2012 following the release of their previous album 'Rispah' and the Mercury nominated trio are back once again with another selection of the highest order. Starting with Prince (RIP) they continue with influential music from Oneness of JuJu, Eugene McDaniels, ESG, Can, Tony Allen, PJ Harvey and Aphex Twin, telling us;
"Whether we like it or not, we are all, in some way, shaped by what has gone before. Human nature is refined in the fires of exemplification. subsequently one of life's highest callings must be to remain connected to your inspiration. As a musician, i believe this is about being rooted in your ancestry and utilising the imagination as a means of liberation. Here are some of the tracks that are woven into our sonic dna, examples that have illuminated the way."
Patience is released on 10th June and you can pre order here https://ninjatune.net/release/the-invisible/patience
