Lee Moses - I'm Sad About (DJOU flip)

Paris-based, Chicago-born MC RacecaR has been living a pure hip hop life for the last two decades. He's one of the coolest hip hop cats in the French capital, relentlessly touring but in a constant state of rap, writing & rehearsing whenever he can. His flow, lyrics and friendly Native Tongues attitude got him to collaborate with more and more people, among which Paris DJs collaborators Lawkyz, on his 'The Waxidermist' project, or Etienne de la Sayette, RacecaR opens his afrojazz album 'Maputo Queens' to be released in may.

A true meeting of two worlds first happened when RacecaR met with the label's in-house producer Grant Phabao, who's radical expertise in groove got him to work with many famous musicians worldwide, from Jamaica to Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana, USA, Brazil, UK, Germany and more. From there on, an ongoing special production project started, with RacecaR bringing the rhymes and Grant Phabao recording them over one of his reggae, ska, funk, jazz or afro productions… No boom bap, no maverick beats, no wonky, no wobble, all breaks, skanks, drops and more polyrhythmics. The word was : "let's turn out worlds upside down, and make something different together".

'One Free', the latest single extracted from RacecaR's upcoming 'A Healthy Obsession With Pétanque' album, sees the American MC laying a thick rap, moving on and around the beat, over a deep & dubby, slow & stripped-down early 80s dancehall style riddim from French producer and multi-instrumentalist Grant Phabao. The vibe is laidback, smokey, while tropical and hip. A pure stoner tune in the "play it again, Sam" category.

From their 5th studio album, V
LP/CD/Digital: dapt.one/BudosV

As menacing and unhinged as ever, the pride of Staten Island is back with their fifth full-length offering, V. Raw and absent of the modern technological trappings, the Budos pick up where they left off with 2014’s “Burnt Offering”, and finds the group expanding on the brooding, fuzz-fueled riffs, whilst harkening back to the Ethiopian inspired rhythms and percussive proclivity that put Budos Band on the map.

2019 Tour Dates:
4.05 - New York - Bowery Ballroom
4.06 - Brooklyn - Music Hall of Williamsburg
4.18 - San Francisco - The Fillmore
4.19 - Portland - Roseland Ballroom
4.20 - Seattle - Neumos
5.31 - London UK - Islington Assembly Hall
6.01 - Suffolk UK - Red Rooster Fest

The Budos Band - Arcane Rambler

Atlantic Oscillations

Incendium

Moon is the slinky, downtempo, debut single from Izy (pronounced eye-zee), a trio who emerged from the rainforests of Far North Queensland this year to make Melbourne their new home. “Moon was her name, moon was her name” goes the hook, introducing the honeyed voice of bassist Warrigo Tyrrell. On guitar and drums Ryo Montgomery and Maru Nitor-Zammataro complete the trio. Perfectly synchronised, perfectly minimal, this understated piece of jazzy soul brings to mind D’angelo and Bilal at their most stripped back.

Brothers from different mothers, all three members of Izy write and sing, but it is the baby brother of the group, Warrigo, who gets to shine on this first single. 

In his words: “I was in my room looking out my window at the moon when I wrote this song and in my mind the moon became the face of a loved one. She is beautiful and shining, radiating her elegance, just like the moon. She loves the moon, she draws the moon, she is the moon. So - Moon was her name. It came out like that.” 

Moon is available everywhere on October 18 via Hopestreet Recordings. Stand by for much more from Izy in the lead up to their 2020 album release.
