Soundway records present a unique record: a modern, haunting take on Sudanese music heard through the sonic lens of French artist / producer, Débruit and the poetic, ethereal lyrics and melodies of Sudanese-born singer Alsarah.

Aljawal (The Traveller) is a nomadic reflection for the 21st century. Each song reflects a new stop in the journey, with new cities and new people along the way. When Alsarah first heard Débruit's music she sensed and recognised a fellow traveller through the space and geography of his influences, a sense of time and history coupled with a forward-thinking futuristic outlook.

Born in the capital city of Sudan, Khartoum, Alsarah spent the first 8 years of her life here before she relocated to Taez, Yemen with her family to escape the ever-stifling regime in her native country. She abruptly moved to the US in 1994, when a brief civil war broke out in Yemen, and has lived there to this day.  

Xavier Thomas revealed Débruit in 2008 with 2 sold out 12″s for his and Fulgeance’s Parisian “Musique Large” imprint. Three more EPs on Civil Music followed that included his hit 'Nigeria What'. Piquing interest from the likes of XLR8R, Fact Mag, Benji B and Gilles Peterson his debut album ‘From The Horizon’ came out last year. His dazzling live electronics show has taken him around the world, from Russia to New York, Glastonbury to Sonar. 

On Aljawal he managed to capture and play with an analog sound that stretched the boundaries of the Sudanese rhythms and melodies that Alsarah had grown up with. A unique record was imagined and is finally presented here after a 2 year interplay of ideas and interaction between France and Brooklyn: Alsarah’s adopted home.

Simon Baker - Plastik (Todd Terje Remix) - Kompakt Records

Every year we get to know new producers and labels that catch our attention, and Future Bones and Tici Taci rec. are without no doubt in that list, all the way up to the top.

They released their first self titled EP in March of this year on Tici Taci Records, followed by 2 more releases, 'Pain killer' and 'Dirty profit' and have done remixes for Rich Lane, Tronik Youth and Duncan Gray (this last one to be released in December 2014).  We will be also releasing a track of them on Play Pal's new comp, beginning of next year and are excited to know it will just be the first one.

A unique blend of electronica, live instruments and vocals that makes them definitively one of our favourite artists of the moment and it's our pleasure to consider them part of the Play Pal crew.

Enjoy the mix!

Giraffage's signature remixes of R&B favorites quickly took him from blogs to Boiler Room and beyond, as he won over dancefloors worldwide with lush, bass-driven sets. No Reason marks another new turning point for this artist, who has grown from flipping Janet Jackson songs to crafting indelible slow jams of his own. The chopped vocals and bubble wrap riffs of "Tell Me" combine for a Tumblr-era love ballad like none other, and the entire EP is as heartfelt as it is head-nodding.

Tornado Wallace: "Always Twirling" (Norm De Plume Remix)

A collaborative project between Rub'n'Tug's Thomas Bullock (who also
records as Bobby Marie and Map of Africa for WWW) and Eddie Ruscha (who
spent time in Medicine, Maids of Gravity and Future Pigeon). "The Rose"
is simply one of the most splendid tracks of the summer. Opening with a
mélange of bells and infinitely sustained piano chords that might be
out of a Pharaoh Sanders early '70s jazz effort, and adding on a guitar
lick that percolates like Mr. Coffee, it only takes off from there.
Once Ruscha's voice comes in talking about "electric shadow, a full
moon in my bed," the song elevates somewhere between spiritual jazz, a
bananas disco dance floor cut and the Alan Parsons Project. The piano
stutters, the bass slides down and then the whole thing bursts forth
anew with ping-ponging squelches and other sorts of analog orgasmic
madness,making for one of the most satisfying 12-inches of the year.

Release Date: 15 July 2013
Format: 12" Vinyl, Digital
Label: HopeStreet Recordings

To celebrate their first Northern Hemisphere tour, a prize slot at Glastonbury festival and a year of good work, The Bombay Royale are releasing Phone Baje Na, a bass-heavy, head-nodding Bollywood hypno-hop remix EP. Another hit from the pen of Bengal via Richmond songsmith Shourov Bhattacharya and guitar wizard Tom Martin, Phone Baje Na is Bengali for “the phone doesn’t ring” and is a haunting tale of unrequited love. 

Available on 12” vinyl and digital formats, Phone Baje Na features three remixes in a range of flavors. From Pasobionic’s jilted post-Dilla bounce to Damn Moroda’s aggressive bassrave futurism to Monkeymarc’s arpeggiated boom bap beatdown, the tempo never gets above 100 bpm but the vibe gets progressively deeper and darker. Also included is the shimmering original mix and a previously unreleased Bollywood psych funk instrumental Sleeping Giant. 

The Bombay Royale’s debut, You Me Bullets Love, released in 2012, established the band’s credentials both as one of the most original festival acts around and as the world’s leading interpreters and of classic Indian filmi music of the 1960s and 70s. Seamlessly blending surf, spaghetti cinematica, disco and Indian psychedelia, The Bombay Royale is what would have happened to music had Amitabh Bachchan and Quentin Tarantino made movies together. The Phone Baje Na EP gives their music an unexpected futuristic twist.
