Outsiders: Earth Echoes w/ Amos & Shungu @ Kiosk Radio 06.08.2022

It's always heartening when the quietly committed are granted their righteous rewards. In this case: rise up, K15. After a six-year residency at Jazz Café and a string of all-too-unsung releases on Wotnot Music, it was only a matter of when rather than if that K15 would catch his wave. Now with Insecurities — his wonderfully deep debut on Kyle Hall's Wild Oats — in the trunk (and in amongst several end-of-year lists), dude's been given the well-earned honour of cutting the tape on No Room For Air, Wild Oats' newborn sister label.

"Mist" is a gentle sleepwalk into a lower key: a turn down from the club and a chance for K15 to parade his soulful versatility. A blend of head-nod drums, rising strings, and a gorgeous Amerie flip to boot — it's only a crime this one ends so soon.

Cop the full EP in mid-February. Pre-orders already sold out!

Dream Sequences From A Future Long Gone (Side B)

'All This Trouble' is the first track to land from Jonny Drop’s 2nd album "The Only Sound".  Warm, hazy Jazz is covered by a patchwork of percussion and beats that clearly display his sensibilities as a drummer. This early taste of the new album, due in June, is one of the closest heir’s to the "Sub Plot" crown, but confidently points at the producer’s development, which will be clearly heard in his new material. 

Jonny Drop’s debut, "Sub Plot", was the very first album release on the fledgling Albert’s Favourites label at the beginning of 2016. The initial offering, a 7” of album favourites 'Mind Field' and 'This Is The One' had quickly been picked up on by the good people at BBC Radio 6 Music as well as some of Drop’s personal heroes including Kenny Dope, Mr. Thing and Nightmares On Wax. But when the infectious rhythms and warm production of the beat tape landed, its impact was greater than anyone at the label could have hoped. 

Although Jonny never stopped producing beats in the following years, he was also kept busy as a drummer, playing live for Andrew Ashong, The Bongolian and Connie Constance, whose Boring Connie EP he also laid down beats for. Then in early 2018 his band The Expansions delivered their celebrated "Murmuration" LP. All the while, with the support of his label family, Drop had been evolving his solo sound too.

"The Only Sound sees a huge progression in my writing direction, as I collaborated with multiple vocalists and musicians, instead of the usual 'one-man band' approach. The development of these processes make this LP a steady departure from the beat-tape influence of my past releases, and hopefully, showcase the more original sound I've been working to achieve over the past few years."

Chongo  - Still 1984

Much of the way in which the world operates today, at a human level, concerns exploitation, using  another’s vulnerability for one’s own benefit, an idea so commonplace we only recognise its ill in the  extremes. From reflection, to acceptance, to hope, ​Forgotten Ones​ delves into the contradictions of  accepting the status quo while identifying it’s shortcomings.

Esencia​ is proud to present ​Forgotten Ones​, the new album from London based quintet Culross Close  (an alias of K15).

​‘Acceptance’  finds the quintet in familiar hip-hop territory, carving out a top tier groove with a recurring piano motif  of the highest order. Their vocals, this time more chant than choral makes for a brilliant 5 minute  mantra.
 
Culross Close​ are:
 
Bass - Eli Emmanuel 
Keys - Anthony Kieron 
Drums - May Goode
Synthesizers - Nathaniel Jiddu
Percussion & Incense - Hasani
