After taking time away to work on various projects, The Acorns are back! The six-song EP “Oak Future” announces the return of the DC-based hip hop duo. When BlakeNine and Mad Squirrel started assembling their new collection of music, they found that the songs they were putting together shared some emotional states and thematic threads—questioning authority, postcolonial bravado, devotion to old friends and the intrigue of new ones. With plenty of inspiration, they headed back to Irish CarBomb Studio and created this eclectic set of modern hip hop explorations.

Musically, The Acorns polished and expanded their approach, retaining their edgy subterranean sound on the deep-pocketed, mid-tempo classic “It's No Secret”—a whirlwind of maple-soaked sinister sweetness that calls to mind Danny Brown and Big Bear. “No Regrets,” one of the last songs to be written, sprang to life one magical Memorial Day while driving through Richmond. This majestic, uplifting, twenty-first century hip hop anthem stands out as a harbinger of things to come, going from a widescreen velvety throb to a psychedelic patriotic ramble in the course of four electric minutes.

In scope, palette, and composition, "Oak Future" is more...

Japanese-born sound artist Kikù Hibino has been producing cross-genre music for nearly a decade. The Wire once described his music as “trying to cram in as many memories as possible before it all disappears," and “concerns itself with themes of capturing and preserving fleeting moments.” (2007, Issue 279) From acoustic chamber music for Mercedes Benz to digital microsound for Anti-Nuke protest, he collaborated with such a wide variety of artists and scholars from all over the world, including Kawaguchi Takao (Dumb Type, dancer), Curtis Roads (computer music), Theaster Gates (contemporary artist), and Norma Field (literary scholar). In 2015, he’s been working on an album focused on voice and singing. The acoustic version recently premiered at Peace Resource Center at Wilmington College in Ohio, as well as local NPR station WYSO this August. Besides his solo project, he’s also playing with percussionist (and former OSCILLATIONS artist) Mike Weis in his new quartet The Slow Bell.

In 2014, Klangwart travelled to the Colombian capital in order to record the material for “Bogotá” with protagonists of the local music scene: Damián Ponce (drums), César Quevedo (bass) and Eblis Álvarez (violoncello), members of The Meridian Brothers, and singers Juanita and Valentina Áñez Rothmann a.k.a. Las Áñez. The result is Klangwart’s trademark sound permeated by a Latin American pulse and pitch.

A few months in and TAU, the label helmed by Adana Twins, is in the groove. Launched in August 2018, the outlet has given the Hamburg duo a chance to flex their A&R muscles, curating releases that showcase more established artists alongside up and coming talents, while allowing them to fully explore their own tastes.
TAU004 shines a light on Amberoom, a German trio comprised Manuel Tur, Adrian Hoffmann and Ramin Nouyan. The three men produce won- derfully warm, soulful, nourishing compositions which have already court favour with the Innervisions crew - their killer track ‘Kastell’ released on the much-respected ‘Secret Weapons 11’ compilation, and Dixon added his own “Retouch”. Veteran producer isolée steps up for remix duties on this one, too, making this an essential three-tracker.
The EP kicks off with ‘Tulu’ a stirring cut punctuated by a wistful male vocal complemented by a harmonious, yet sombre low end. Delicate twin- kles and emotive strings add depth as the track tugs on your heartstrings. This is a lush, measured composition with excellent programming on its organic-sounding drums and a contemplative atmosphere throughout.
Next up is the title track, ‘Jazire’, which picks up the pace immediately. A contagious 4x4 beat forms the foundation of this rousing number, which builds steadily into a cacophony of tribal-esque effects; shakers reverberating next to mysterious sounds that echo in and out of the back- ground. A melancholy melody gives this track extra emotional density, while the tension builds and subsides intermittently and the beat keeps those hips moving.
Lastly, isolée’s reinterpretation of the title track utilises a more traditional house motif, emphasising the shadowy atmospherics and injecting a more insistent beat. As the 4x4 rhythm pumps along, he adds clicks and skipping toms - pushing the energy levels up a notch. A dark, eerie tone pervades and isolée retains the sorrowful refrain from the original to complement his dour synth riff.
Adana Twins keep the standards high as TAU continues to impress with another exemplary release.
