By popular demand Far Out is about to re-issue the beautiful and strictly limited deluxe heavy weight vinyl edition of ‘Visions of Dawn’. With Andy Votel’s stunning psychedelic designs dripping from the cover the original ‘lost’ Brazilian acid-folk album is an essential addition to record collections. 

Understated yet powerful this previously unreleased project by three Brazilian music legends has been rescued and released by Joe Davis’ Far Out Recordings. Led by the sharp lyrics and gorgeous, expressive voice and guitar of Joyce the trio is completed by the expert musicianship of her close friends Nana Vasconcelos (percussion) and Mauricio Maestro (electric bass, vocals, guitar and producer) who were both crucial in creating this masterpiece. These beautiful, hazy recordings, which took place among the charming artistic 1970s Paris scene, offer a unique chance to sit in on the original jamming sessions of tracks that later became Brazilian cult classics.
 
“These pictures were taken in 1976 when my partner Mauricio Maestro and I (left)had recently arrived in Paris. We recorded an album there with our friend Nana Vasconcelos (Right), who then lived in France. We were ready for new adventures.  ‘Visions of Dawn’ - in the language of Barack Obama - is taken from the Suite of our 1976 disc. For the album to be more psychedelic would be impossible. This is not a Joyce album this is a work of three heads.” Joyce, 2009  Mauricio, Joyce and Nana became friends as part of Milton Nascimento’s Clube De Esquina scene and his legendary ‘Clube De Esquina’ albums.

The three were also part of Sagrada Familia - the great Luiz Eça band – while Nana and Joyce played together in legendary folk-prog band A Tribo.  Having arranged for Brazil’s top artists from an early age Mauricio Maestro lent his masterful bass playing to Joyce’s classic early albums. Later a founding member of Boca Livre - one of the most successful groups ever to emerge from Brazil - Mauricio produced ‘Visions of Dawn’ and his incredible electric bass and vocals are crucial to the sessions. Nana Vasconcelos has released more than thirty albums over an epic forty year career. Vasconcelos is a vocalist and berimbau player of immense quality and here displays his unsurpassed Latin jazz percussion skills, which adds playful samba momentum to this project. Joyce recorded her first album at the age of nineteen and alongside Tropicalia artists of the time she infused conservative Brazilian music with the spirit of 60s counter-culture, creating bossa nova with a feminist edge that gave Brazilian women their voice. Joyce is now one of the most respected artists in Brazil with her compositions interpreted by Brazilian greats Milton Nasciemento, Elis Regina, Gal Costa and Gilberto Gil.   

Here Joyce’s tender psychedelic vocals (‘Clareana’, ‘Jardim Dos Deuses’, ‘Chegada’) result in a dreamy set that’s given a strong edge when scatting and letting her notes playfully jump around (‘Suite’, ‘Banana’, ‘Metralhadeira’). Creativity flows out from behind Joyce’s Paris boudoir drapes for 35 glorious minutes. Stand out tracks ‘Banana’ and ‘Clareana’ became big Brazilian hits for Joyce on her hugely successful solo albums, which followed on from this recording.  ‘Clareana’ is a beautiful lullaby in homage to her daughters Clara Moreno (Far Out) and Ana, while ‘Banana’ is a slice of pure joy. Ending with the orgasmic ‘Chegada’ this is an album like nothing you’ve ever heard.  

‘Visions of Dawn’ is a legendary lost treasure encapsulating the special freedom and beauty of Joyce, Nana and Mauricio’s music that has finally been rescued and set free after 33 years.

Throughout his six decade career, infiltrating pop, bossa nova, delicate psychedelia, jazz and funk, Marcos Valle, ‘the original Rio beach boy’ has consistently shown a dogged determination to transcend the traditions and structures of bossa nova, whilst never veering away from the movement’s inherent, fundamental spirit.

It’s fair to say that the ever boundary pushing Theo Parrish can be seen in a similar vein with regards to house and techno, but his musical creativeness reaches far beyond Chicago and Detroit, as he demonstrates with this re-work of a modern Brazilian classic.

The Far Out Beat Tape

RELEASE DATE: 27/01/15
CAT. NO: FARODIGI 71
FORMAT: Digital Download

The Far Out Beat Tape brings together some of the finest forays into beat-driven electronic music from the label’s extensive back catalogue. From classics to rarities, of varying tempos and styles, this mixtape eliminates binary genre classification and carves out a place for Brazil on the map of the global beat diaspora.
When celebrated digger, DJ and Brazilian music connoisseur Joe Davis set up Far Out Recordings in 1994, it was an incredibly exciting time for dance music in the UK. House, techno and rave were splintering off into varying directions, jungle was blowing up and the future was wide open. While Far Out may be more widely known for its modern day iterations of MPB, jazz and samba, it has always kept itself firmly on the cutting edge of electronic music as this release amply demonstrates.
Far Out entered the scene with an unparalleled devotion to the music of Brazil’s past and present, but always with a keen eye on the future of UK dance, sensing a lucrative forward path in the marriage of the two which in many ways was an early precursor to the forward thinking blends of rugged dance sounds and organic, groove anchored jazz-funk, fusion and samba that was characteristic of Masters At Work’s Nuyorican Soul project and later the West London based Broken Beat movement. 
This compilation serves as both a handy sampler and an overview of a myriad of sounds and styles that Far Out has contributed to the worlds of broken beat, hip-hop and beyond. From the intrepid genre-leaping explorations of pioneering veterans Mark Pritchard, IG Culture and 4Hero to alternative hip-hop legend Peanut Butter Wolf to young up-and-comer Ben Hauke, the full spectrum is represented here. 
Simone Seritella’s atmospheric groover ‘Sambalanco’, originally released on Solaria, a subsidiary of Far Out, kicks off proceedings, a rare gem and one that even the label’s most avid followers may be unfamiliar with. On a broken tip, IG Culture’s remix of legendary Azymuth bassist Alex Malheiros’ ‘The Wave’ which marries the worlds of broken beat, hip hop with the sounds of Brazil to stunning effect, while 4hero’s remix of Friends From Rio’s ‘Vera Cruz’ is an exemplary exercise in their uniquely inventive and fearless excursions in grooving funk.
The deeper, more cerebral fare of ‘Lullaby’ and ‘Without You’ come courtesy of Far Out stalwart Troubleman – one of the many guises of Mark Prichard whose overwhelmingly prolific output, spanning the worlds of hip-hop, techno, jungle, funk, dubstep and onward into the experimental dance stratosphere, is close to peerless. Another true dance music original, Theo Parrish, turns in a typically seductive left-field house stepper with his remix of the Far Out Monster Disco Orchestra’s ‘Keep Believing’. Meanwhile, the perpetually funky Quantic’s sunny reworking of Sabrina Malheiros’ ‘Passa’ is a bass heavy RnB banger.  
The tape culminates with remixes of two of Brazil’s most celebrated artists, Azymuth and Marcos Valle. The former’s ‘Manha’ receives a subtle reworking from Stones Throw head honcho Peanut Butter Wolf, while Budgie transforms Valle’s ‘1975’, bringing the tracks futuristic synths to the fore to create a moody late-night boogie classic
Together, the selections on this release provides listeners with the diverse flavours from Far Out’s vital contributions to the global network of beats and forward-thinking groove music that the label has been and continues to be an integral part of.

Pre-order 'Blurred' on LP/DL: http://phonofile.link/blurred

Kiasmos mark their return in 2017 with a new 12” EP titled Blurred — available worldwide on October 6th via Erased Tapes.

Since their 2015 Swept EP, the duo have been performing shows extensively across the world. After writing and recording together in their native Iceland this year, the pair will be bringing a glimpse of light to a particularly gloomy time of year as their light sounds are brighter than ever.

Words from Ólafur and Janus, August 2017: 
￼ 
￼￼“To write new material felt like a new beginning for us after two years of touring. The plan was to ￼write something a tad darker than our previous stuff. Spring in Reykjavík had other plans though, as this turned out to be our brightest release to date.” — Janus Rasmussen

￼“Stimming was one of the reasons we started making four-on-the-floor music and we have been listening to Bonobo since we were young, so it was a great honour that they wanted to contribute remixes for the EP.” — Ólafur Arnalds

￼The EP closes with remixes from British producer Bonobo and German electronic musician Stimming, taking tracks Blurred and Paused into different coloured realms.

The cover art featuring the iconic Kiasmos symbol is by long-time Erased Tapes collaborator Torsten Posselt at FELD.
