Can We? Take a Break

On ‘Skybox’, the fifth and final single before the release of his album ‘Close Distance’ on April 8th, FloFilz collaborated with UK jazz supremos Blue Lab Beats, who recently have stirred a wave with the release of their album ‘Motherland Journey’.

‘Close Distance’ literally means “near in space or time” (or “nah dran”, as we say in German). The 16 songs on ‘Close Distance’ came to life over the past two turbulent years. It is no exaggeration to say that FloFilz has not only created another inspiring album with ‘Close Distance’ but one that demonstrates how music can close the distance which we all have experienced (and still do) in a beautiful way. With features by UK Jazz supremos Alfa Mist and Blue Lab Beats, London R&B artists Jerome Thomas and KeepVibesNear, long-term musical partners Summers Sons & C.Tappin, UK Jazz/Hip-Hop trio Dal & Cape Town Neo-Soul singer and songwriter Hunter Rose. ‘Close Distance’ will be released digitally and on LP with artwork by Indonesian illustrator Fatchurofi.

Exposed to music from a young age, FloFilz grew up in Belgium before moving to Aachen, Germany where he studied the violin and classical music, while also playing in orchestras. In addition to his parents, who were both musicians, he cites Hip-Hop icons A Tribe Called Quest, J Dilla and Madlib as key influences. Recognised as one of Germany’s most in-demand producers, the self-taught bedroom beatmaker has built his reputation led by his seductive blend of Lo-Fi, Soul and Jazz-influenced groves. Taking great inspiration from London's Jazz scene he has previously collaborated with the likes of MF DOOM, Alfa Mist, Barney Artist, Ivan Ave, Blu, JuJu Rogers, Biig Piig, K.A.A.N., J.Lamotta and K, Le Maestro.

This is another taste of sounds from his forthcoming sophomore album ‘All Werk Is Play’, following on from singles, ‘Eterno Retorno’, ’In Saint-Gilles’, ‘Move Different’ and ‘Battered Mars Bar’, which respectively received spins from BBC 6Music’s Jamz Supernova, Tom Ravenscroft, Huey Morgan and Afrodeutsche, as well as love from selectors such as DJ Paulette, Scratcha DVA, Zakia Sewell (NTS) & Jyoty (Rinse).

In 2020, Werkha released ‘The Rigour’ on First Word, and dropped ‘Beat Tapestry ’ in late 2021 on a limited cassette. All Werk Is Play’ marks Werkha’s first full-length solo project since his debut album ‘Colours Of A Red Brick Raft’ on Tru Thoughts in 2015.

‘Beauty & The Bloc’ is another uptempo composition from Werkha(real name Tom Leah), fusing analogue jazz-funk vibes with modern dance music sensibilities. Horns from Aaron Wood lead the way on top of a 5/4 rhythm track, with Werkha’s signature squelchy saw synths, subtly turning the smooth to rough for another triumphant heads-down groove, which has been doing the business live on dancefloors from Low Four in Manchester to The Jazz Cafe in London.

Werkha hails from Manchester and has been releasing music for a decade, collaborating and remixing artists such as Quantic, Bryony Jarman-Pinto, Marcos Valles and Andrew Ashong, and touring with Bonobo, Chet Faker and Mr Scruff.

術からそう
狂い出したから
光を消して 体すり替えて
充たしましょう

同じ傷跡並べて そう
霧のような同意浴びたいの

傾く少し
応えて光回す
板佩く
内側 乗車券隠す
口から聞き
応えて浮かび上がる
虹の線達

織り出す少し
離れて光飛ばす
土から土
映像 絞り出して
色づく水
垂れさせ 行方知れず
次の手紙へ

詩を躱し つやと多義の上辺らを
合わせて撫でていく
腹の模様と記録の皺が
ずれてきて 読めなくなろうと
構わないふりをしてみて
痛めてくれて
ただ意味の下で
造形したいの

傾く少し
ふらつく光受ける
口から聞き
応えて浮かび上がる
視座の Hueの 栗の 後
織り出す少し
煌めき磨き上げる
土から土
映像 絞り取って
少し 煮出し
爪を食べる 息を食べる
術からそう

体躱し 智識を吐き出す音も
許せるようになる
いつかは 星にも似て落ち出して
だらける床まで

美し つやと多義の上辺らを
合わせて撫でる腹も裂けて
漏れ出す塩を許して
休まず足している

油で染みて ぬるく取れていく
機能に口をつけ 近寄る
新し物の気配は 忘れたふりをしていよう

ふたりで土を満たそう

仕草は消える
横顔 山並の壺
テーブルで止まる
わたしに
手で触れて 蒸れないよう

はれて暗闇から放り投げられた
打ち上げ花火の火の粉を浴びた
世田谷 厳島 パルテノン 北京
お願い僕らを探さないで

ウォーアイニー　いつまでも
ウォーアイニー　ハネムーン気取りさ

やさしい紫陽花 夕方風呂ではしゃぐ子供
夏の全てが美しい訳は
君の瞳の中に隠した
夜の港 灯台の灯り

ウォーアイニー　いつまでも
ウォーアイニー　ハネムーン気取りさ

我愛你
