“A tour de force” Listed in Top Albums of the Year So Far – Louder Than War

"One of those super hardworking, super talented people. Just puts music out and just gets on with it." Gilles Peterson 

"More brilliant music from Scrimshire" Jamie Cullum, BBC Radio 2 

"As a producer, he excels at creating albums packed with soulful guest stars and fresh takes on the genre." The Guardian 

"One of the best producers in the UK" Smoove & Turrell 

“One of today’s most forward thinking producers” Beat Caffeine 

“It’s at this point that you realise the significance of Scrimshire’s ‘Paroxysm’…here we have an update, an extension of Sarathy Korwar’s ‘More Arriving’ or Kae Tempest’s ‘Let Them Eat Chaos’.” Backseat Mafia 

"Everything in the right place at the right time. Sonically, it is his biggest album; the sound is big, the messages even bigger." Louder Than War


Albert’s Favourites label founder Scrimshire released his bold new album 'Paroxysm' on May 26th. In the last few weeks of October 2022, Scrimshire wrote this new collection of songs with the descriptive working title "Scream". A direct response to the absurdity of the breakdown in the UK government, the horror of the treatment of refugees arriving on our shores and the callous disregard for the trauma being caused to low income people or anyone considered "other". While self-preserving Conservative MPs fought for their jobs, record profits were announced by energy companies as crippling amounts of money were gouged from people's pockets. The anger, sadness, mourning, and frustration he felt was poured into these recordings.

Singer Faye Houston features on new single ‘Eyes Shut’ a deeply mournful but beautiful piece of atmospheric jazz. It asks questions of our seemingly collective denial of the realities around corruption, racism and environmental catastrophy. 

“You see everything, but you close your eyes”. 

Scrimshire’s last album, 2021’s 'Nothing Feels Like Everything', received an Album of the Year nomination at the Gilles Peterson Worldwide Awards and last March he was named by the Guardian as one of three producers behind the new wave of UK soul, alongside Inflo (Michael Kiwanuka, Sault, Lil Simz) and Swindle (Joel Culpepper, Greentea Peng, Kojey Radical). Albert’s Favourites was formed by Adam, Dave Koor, and Jonny Drop, who designed the logo and artwork, and has released records by The Expansions, Hector Plimmer, Huw Marc Bennett, Pie Eye Collective, Qwalia, Rōnin Arkestra. 

'Paroxysm' is out now on vinyl LP and digital formats.

Listen to Beach For Tiger’s new single ‘Take it In’. Started by brothers Peter and Michael, the English band works with promoters such as DHP and Bird On The Wire and shares stages with the likes of Boogarins, Sugar Candy Mountain, Mystic Braves, Illa J and Baywaves. The media Earmilk describe their music as 'Quite transparently oozing influences of both Tame Impala and Mac DeMarco'. ‘Take it In’ is also in this editorial line: dreamy and bewitching, it's the perfect sound to escape to.

Research Records continue their voyage into Elite Beat’s extraordinary back catalogue with their second compilation Selected Rhythms Vol. 2. The chosen tracks are lifted from the Portland collective's three-part cassette series Casual Rhythms; a treasure chest of meditative and genre-defying instrumentals where percussion and dub accents prevail.

Elite Beat’s approach to producing music is their routine for respite. The band reflects when they come together weekly, it’s an opportunity to put down their other projects, ambitions, work and life stresses for a few hours and “just be.” This spirit flows into their free-form expression, absorbing both the band and the listener. Additionally, Elite Beat reveals the foundation of their output lies in the discipline of being able to sustain vibration through repetition. There’s a constant coiling mantra throughout each track, the band commenting “while many musicians can get totally bored playing the same thing over and over, we love it!”

The mixing process swings between embracing the warmth of live recordings and generating noise with analog manipulation. The band experiments with their recorded sound expressing “we are less concerned with sounding like 90% of recorded music out there and more concerned with trying shit out.” Elite Beat also cite dub music and it’s process of recording as an inspiration and how this approach lends itself to a “deep listening experience,” a notion the band channels artfully.

Remastered for the first time on vinyl, Selected Rhythms Vol. 2 adds to the immersive and interstellar tapestry of Elite Beat. The compilation delves deep into the healing and hypnosis that characterises the collective. For those who were inevitably left looking for more with Selected Rhythms Vol. 1, here’s a no-brainer.
