ROUGHSOUL - YOU DON'T KNOW ME

Perth boy Roughsoul has been very active of late, re-editing R & B, soul and Hip-Hop cuts, transforming them into smooth numbers for the floor. His self-released 'Future Classics' has been a staple here at the HQ and our selectors have been having fun lacing their sets with his interpretations of Dru Hill, Faith Evans, Busta Rhyme and Chantel Moore. With his signature funk sound, he has proven to be one of the most exciting producers to have blossomed out of the scene, alongside heavyweights like Ta-ku. His talents have also been recruited by rising Parisian label, Laruche Records for spearheading the A & R department in the Oceanic region.
Get your dose of the Roughsoul. The future is now.

Roughsoul - You don't know me (Darker Than Wax Free Download)

Premiered on Plastician's Rinse FM show a few weeks back, Howie Lee's newest creation is now available for free download. We've come to expect brilliance from the Beijing producer since we first heard 'A Strange Afternoon…', followed by his Go Chic 'Waiting For' remix on Cream Collective. Each piece of music produced is entirely different to the last, '79 Plus 1' being no exception as Howie draws influence from the offbeat nature of Jazz, combined with his recognisable textured elements that chop & change throughout. 
 These few released tracks simply outline an introduction to Howie Lee's EP 'Borderless Shadows' dropping 29th January via Trapdoor Records.

For fans of Flying Lotus, fLako, Mo Kolours and the like.

Born and raised in The Netherlands, producer Beatsofreen has gained major attention by releasing his first well-received beattape “Future Memories” back in 2011 at the age of 17. 
After a successful collaboration (Global Soul EP) with Medaforacle (USA), he was signed to the Darker Than Wax family, celebrating his new EP “Coloured Dreams” (2013), a little tribute to the late & great J Dilla. With his alterego Stan Forebee , Beatsofreen also creates more jazz-orientated beats, and most recently landed himself a feature on Okayplayer for his remix of Flying Lotus' 'Siren song'.

The process that led to ‘Dimensions EP’ engaged different sides of him as a well-rounded artist – growing as his music developed from straight Dilla-minded beats to more electronic songs.

He approached this first as a musician, and then a producer – working with less samples and recording live acoustic instruments – something which has always been part of work for film and radio but was never included in personal production own music, until this project.

While creating this EP had the intention of an electronic influence, it is balanced off by an earthy jazz element – he began to delve more into the acoustic-folk sound and songwriting.

The Dimensions EP is about bringing these different elements together. It stands for seeing things from new perspectives, for experiencing life's diversity. Everything is possible: it's all around you; inside, on the outside. You just have to find the dimensions, take the walls down, and bloom.

Special thanks goes out to Joanna Borromeo, who lends her wonderful vocals to 'Bloom'.

https://bastardjazz.bandcamp.com/album/pomo-presents-tempo-dreams-vol-4

The last couple of years have been huge for Pomo, going from a relatively obscure Canadian producer to releasing his debut EP on HW&W, remixing for the likes of Janet Jackson and Mark Ronson, producing “Am I Wrong?” on Anderson Paak’s debt album and touring the globe with Disclosure as their opening act. 

Bastard Jazz has commissioned Pomo to be next in line for the fourth volume of their "Tempo Dreams" compilation series, following on the heels of the acclaimed Soul Clap compiled Vol. 3. As with other Tempo Dreams records, Pomo has curated a slick and well polished album full of exclusive tracks from friends and collaborators such as Lindsay Lowend, Aloka, Exmag, Syre, Daniel Crawford, FVLCRVM and more.  Touching on the shimmering nudisco sound, plodding deep electronic vibes, funky instrumental hip-hop, and even a hint of drum’n’bass, Tempo Dreams Vol. 4 takes it’s rightful place in the series as one of the most forward thinking compilations showcasing emerging young talent.

Lowtism - Take Me Back

Berlin-based duo https://soundcloud.com/lowtism’s friendship started early enough that they were able to experience a series of firsts together. First hangovers, first girlfriends, and the genesis of their musical partnership - their first computer with a cracked copy of Fruity Loops. Starting out with the goal of mimicking the work of their favourite artists on Soundcloud, what they consider a homogenization of musical styles left a bad taste in their mouth. This prompted them to seek inspiration from genres such as 2-step, UK garage, classic rock, blues, jazz, and Japanese funk.

'Take Me Back' is an ode to a life-changing trip to Japan taken by Jaye, one half of Lowtism. Jet engines and connecting flight announcements during the track’s build up set a smooth tone for what is ultimately a funky and celebratory homage to a host of sensations and experiences that only travel can offer. Synth riffs layered over 80s J-pop horns and peppered with live guitar licks take the senses along for the ride.
