Having just released his 11th studio album, "Notes", Nathan Haines returns to Foliage Records with the freshest of fresh Fouk remixes of his single "Squire For Hire" featuring the unmistakeable spoken word of legendary Jazz vocalist, Marlena Shaw. 

"Squire For Hire" originally appeared on Nathan’s album of the same name, and now, in 2025, Fouk’s debut Foliage offering delivers the perfect tonic, complemented beautifully with newly recorded saxophone parts from Nathan.

Hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, Nathan studied in New York in 1991, where he immersed himself in the worlds of jazz, hip-hop, and Latin music. These genres would become a huge part of his musical journey, showcased in his recordings & live performances.

In 1993, Gilles Peterson discovered Nathan playing in Auckland, and just a year later, his debut album "Shift Left" was released on Polygram Records in New Zealand. The album went on to win New Zealand Jazz Record of the Year, marking the start of a recording career that included notable albums such as "Soundtravels" & "Squire For Hire". It was during this time that Nathan established a formidable partnership with the late, legendary DJ/producer Phil Asher, a much-loved and deeply missed figure in the music world.

Fouk aka Daniel Leseman and Junktion (Hans Peeman) have been friends since childhood, and their individual successes as producers made their collaboration inevitable. While the outcome of such a partnership is never guaranteed, their unique house sound, infused with disco and funk, has proven to be irresistibly infectious.

The first digital single to be taken off Dave’s forthcoming "London / Detroit" album with Maurissa Rose. ‘Open Me Up’ is a romping slice of classy Deep House, rich with layers of warmth and soul. Maurissa proving how strong and accomplished she is as a vocalist with an emotive passionate performance. Whether it’s the bubbling bassline, loosely trucking percussion or ethereal textures that lead the way to an Italo-style piano, it's classic stuff that's new and original. It is a taster of what’s to come from the hotly anticipated album from them both next year.

If I'm Gonna Be With You

If I'm Gonna Be With You (Michael Gray Mix)

Shabi - Salsoul Jam

The opening piece of Femme Vengeance – A Transfeminine Murder Suite,
Silicones & Silence is a slow-burning summer track that kills with poise.
It tells the story of a woman who comes back after her transformation –
not for revenge,
but to be seen.
And her silence?
Lethal.

A lush, hypnotic blend of whispered vocals, soft tropical textures, and surgical stillness.
Heartbeat-like rhythms, echoes of a recovery room, and the soft click of high heels across the marble floor.

This is not about scars.
It’s about survival –
and the power to leave the room
without a sound.
