Moisés Poblete (noi5er)’s favorite instrument is the synthesizer, but he’s also skilled with drums, the guitar, keyboards, and percussion. After a degree in Sound Engineering Execution, he went on to produce and record various artists in his native Chile while simultaneously pursuing personal sound projects. 

 On the experience of working with Cuban musicians on his track “Me lleva La Habana”, Moisés reflects: 
“It was crucial to add a lot of percussion and it needed to be perfectly executed, with lots of energy and groove. Adel—the percussionist that played the congas, shakers and timbaletas—understood this straight away. I also needed a powerful voice, rhythmic and with lots of soul. Daymé, with her undeniable vocal virtuosity, added character and personality to the song.”


06 Me Ileva La Habana Feat. Daymé Arocena  - noi5er

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.”

Renata Rosa is a contemporany artist that blends sounds of the northeast area of Brazil in a very unique way. On “Brilhantina” her indigenous influenced voice fits wisely to the Samba de Coco rhythms. Its ́s an outstanding track from the beginning to the end and a good example of how powerful and bass-heavy percussion-driven music from Brazil can sound these days. Renata Rosa manages to present Brazil’s musical roots in a modern guise, celebrating widely unkown facets of Brazilian music culture.

► Boiler Room and Ballantine’s True Music partnership returns, taking one step further with the Hybrid Sounds project. Working alongside some of the most engaging live electronic acts in the world, we’ll travel to Moscow, Sao Paulo, Beirut and Valencia, on a journey that will explore the links between acoustic and electronic music, uncovering what can occur when these two distinct styles collide.

On each city visited, the artists collaborate on new original material for our next True Music EP — a record that catalogues the exceptional sounds captured throughout this project. After an exciting collaboration by British duo Overmono with Russian saxophonist Solo Operator, we brought Dutch producer Dollkraut to Lebanon where he worked with Maii and Zeid, a duo formed by legendary Beirut producer Zeid Hamdan and vocalist Maii Waleed.

The final creation, “Esmak Esmi” is the result of Maii’s tranquil lyricism fused with Zeid and Dollkraut’s perfected arrangement and improvisation. The three unique artists, all strongly connected by a shared love for historic instruments and sounds, met in Beirut to create the collaboration track in three days of studio sessions.

First official reissue of the extremely rare full-length album by Lagos-based bandleader Shina Williams. Clean copies of the original currently sell for up to £500.

The record was born in 1979 when Shina put Biddy Wright, Fred Fisher, Saliu Alabi, Prince Bola, Tutu Shoronmu, Tunde willimas and several other decorated Nigerian musicians – who played with the likes of Fela Kuti, SJOB Movement, Sonny Okoson, King Bucknor amongst others – together to record. The result is ‘African Dances’, a timeless fusion of afrobeat, electronics, boogie and disco.

Includes his most well-known song, ‘Agboju Logun’ that Williams knew was ground breaking – “I want to show the whole wide world that Africa is alive with modern musicians to reckon with anywhere,”. This album version is a different mix to the two-track 12” that came out under on Earthworks, Rough Trade in 1984.

Official Mr Bongo reissue. Replica original artwork. Licensed direct from Shina Williams.
