Sleepin Giant is an Amsterdam-based producer who has been bidding his time for over a decade, refining his craft, honing his voice. Purple is his first official release, following a debut appearance on Brussels’ On Point label in 2012 for the Sweet Rendez-Vous remixes.

Purple has been two years in the making, a journey that began with the track Glitch written with NYC-based poet Aja Monet. It was on the strength of this demo that Original Cultures convinced Sleepin Giant to put together a whole EP of his own soul music. Another two vocalists were added to the mix: Bristol’s Romaine Smith, a young singer full of promise who has worked primarily with Typesun, and Amsterdam’s Ruben Hein, signed to Blue Note and one of Holland’s most striking voices.

The music on Purple is soul, plain and simple. It draws from the same spiritual place as the likes of D’Angelo, The Roots, Erikah Badu or Jay Dee - from inside, from the soul. It’s music to fall in love to, music to make love to, music to dream to. On each of the five songs the vocalists recount stories we can all relate to, stories of love, of things past, of things coming. The musical backdrop is stripped down to its bare essentials with an irresistible interplay between drums and bass alongside warm, sultry melodies that compliment the singing.

Purple is to be released on digital and 12” vinyl, featuring cover art inspired by the legendary Ohio Players albums, in mid April. It will be preceeded in late March by a digital single featuring Let’s Get Serious and an alternate version of Hey Girl. In early May remixes from Typesun, Lewis James and EAN will be released digitally along four dancefloor tracks created during the process.

Nao Yoshioka's ‘Stuck Wit U’ featuring London-based Grammy-winning duo Blue Lab Beats, is a bittersweet love song embracing a new form of love unbound by dependence but founded in freedom. Created on her inspirational trip to London in a studio session with Blue Lab Beats, it’s the culmination of their long supportive relationship. The sophisticated beats, floating electric piano, and dreamy vocals make it a perfect romantic summer night tune.

Bio
Nao Yoshioka is a Japanese soul singer whose music combines elements of classic soul, R&B, and jazz to create a sound that is both timeless and modern. 
Born in Osaka, Japan, Nao grew up in a creative household, with her parents encouraging her and her sisters to explore their artistic talents. Her passion for music began at a young age, leading her to sing in a band while in school. She was drawn to the soulful sounds of artists like Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin and began developing her own unique style.
Since her single ‘Make the Change’ was released in 2012, she quickly gained critical acclaim for her soulful, heartfelt performances. She has been lauded by several indie soul music veterans, including Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Gordon Chambers, the “King of Indie Soul”, Eric Roberson, and songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Khari Mateen (Jill Scott, The Roots). 
Over the years, her music has earned her a loyal following in Japan and around the world, with fans drawn to her soulful voice and honest, introspective lyrics. Nao’s music is deeply personal and draws on her experiences as a woman, an artist, and a human being. She tackles complex topics like love, loss, and identity with grace and sensitivity, using her powerful voice to convey both the pain and the beauty of the human experience.
While celebrating the 10th anniversary of her debut in 2022, Nao continued to expand her global activities from her base in Tokyo, with recent performances in the Netherlands and the UK, followed by a guest appearance at the newly-opened BLUE NOTE PLACE in Tokyo. She is currently looking forward to performing at the 2023 Java Jazz Festival in Jakarta and returning to Europe in the summer for shows at New Morning in Paris, The Jazz Cafe London, and TivoliVredenburg Club9 in the Netherlands.
With her soulful voice and powerful message, Nao Yoshioka is a rising star in the world of soul music and a force to be reckoned with on the global stage. She sees her music as a way to connect with people and inspire positive change.
Despite her success, Nao remains humble and focused on her craft.

2001年のデビュー以降、絶えず変化し人々を魅了し続けるNZ発のバンド・Sola Rosa。キーボード／パーカッション／コンピューターを巧みに操りあらゆるビートを知り尽す男・Andrew Spraggonを中心に現在5人のメンバーがその中核を担っている彼ら。2004年に加入したベーシストのMatt Short、2007年に加入したギタリストのBen Whiteは共にセッションで腕を磨いてきた実力派。ヴォーカリスト兼プロデューサーのCherie Mathiesonは2011年後期のツアーメンバーとしてバンドに参加している。MathiesonはMark de Clive Lowe,やDego (4hero)、Lanu (The Bamboos)、Zed Biasなどといった著名なプロデューサー、アーティストたちと共演した経験を持つ今注目の女性シンガーだ。更にUK出身のレゲエ/R&Bアーティストで、UKストリート界をリードするHip-Hopユニット・The Streetsにも参加しているシンガーソングライター・Kevin Mark Trailが加わった。バンドの核となるプロデューサー・Andrew Spraggonは、その優れた手腕で理想のビート・ミュージックへと肉迫し、彼がこれまでに手がけた作品はいずれも発表する度に多くの注目を集めてきた。 2012年にリリースされた『Low and Behold, High and Beyond』ではビッグネームから気鋭の新人まで様々なアーティストとタッグを組み、研ぎ澄まされたビートと彼らしいソウル、ファンクの色みが同居するサウンドを見事に作り上げた。しかし決してそこで満足することはなく、新アルバムを制作するにあたり参加アーティストを一新してフレッシュで斬新なサウンドを生み出したSola Rosa。華やかなコラボレーションと多彩なジャンルの融合で高く評価されてきた彼らが放つ新作『Maginetics』は、その評判に違わない彼らの魅力を存分に味わえる一枚だ。ジャンルの壁を軽々と越え、全ての音楽ファンの心をくすぐる”本物”のサウンドを生み出す彼らの待望の新作、遂にその全貌が明かされる。

Nemoy feat. Djemeia - Orangeman

DJ Funk Bast*rd and saxophonist / producer Kaye (known as Cosa Nostra) out of Singapore, have been pushing the boundaries in the region for more than a decade, easily establishing themselves as one of the stalwarts in the music circuit. 

 Blending dancefloor jazz, deep house, hip hop, funk, soul, boogie and many other musical styles comes very natural to these boys, and their sets have taken them around the region. Between them, and their unique semi live DJ partnership, they have rocked floors across continents, in Switzerland, Italy, London, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Vietnam and Indonesia and more. They have also played alongside many established DJs and musicians like Tiger & Woods, Souleance, Fulgeance, Dåm Funk, Basic Soul Unit, Jamie XX, Danilow Plessow, Kerri Chandler, KiNK, Jazzanova, Recloose, Gerd Janson, Linkwood, DJ Vadim, KOOP, Alex from Tokyo, Todd Terje, Joakim, and Lefto, amongst many others. 

Their Cosa Nostra productions and edits have also gained recognition among music tastemakers worldwide, having been charted by heavyweights such as Lefto and House music guru Phil Asher.

In Singapore, their experience is untouchable having played in all the well known big (and small) clubs, as well as having played alongside some of the finest acts in the world.
