Izzy Wise makes a return to the Lips & Rhythm family with another sultry 7" EP expanding upon his love for so-called world music and expertise in heavy grooves. This EP arrives after his self-imposed isolation in the jungles of Nicaragua during 2020 and features two pure melodic jams we just had to share with you.

The title track 'Night Swim' has a long and enchanting flute lead that will take you upriver for a moonlight rendezvous. On the B-side longtime collaborator La Kata returns to lend her flowing Spanish vocals on the rhythmic number 'Semillita.' Izzy Wise once again transcends musical boundaries with this warm and stellar release. Dig it!

Izzy Wise - Night Swim

Athletes of God is the power combination of Parrott, real name Richard Barratt aka @crookedmanofficial, and @ladyblackbird-music on ‘Don’t Wanna Be Normal’.

Sheffield producer Parrott makes his debut on the London label after having had a seminal career that spans decades. From his beginnings as a DJ at Sheffield Club Jive Turkey where he was cited as the inspiration for Warp Records, to being the very first release on Warp under his ‘Sweet Exorcist’ moniker with Cabaret Voltaire’s Richard H Kirk, he is one of the originators of the Sheffield ‘bleep’ sound. His Crooked Man project saw him signed to James Murphy’s DFA Records,  most recently the elusive producer worked his black magic on Roisin Murphy’s incendiary album ‘Rosin Machine’. Lady Blackbird comes hot off the rave reviews of her album ‘Black Acid Soul’ which has sold over 50 thousand copies in its short life. Her European tour was a sell-out, with LBB joining Gregory Porter for the UK leg of his tour.

The result of this herculean effort is the low-fi, max power single ‘Don’t Want To Be Normal’ that drops on Foundation Music in July. It’s a downtempo, electro-soul version of Randy Crawford’s ‘Don’t Wanna Be Normal’, the original largely unknown. Foundation Music’s Ross Allen has been wanting to cover it since he heard Tong play it back in ’86 on Invicta Radio.  Athletes Of God infuse Lady Blackbird’s iconic voice into a deep & soulful, moody electronic journey. Athletes of God and Lady Blackbird take a well-formed song and bring it up to present day with its perfectly timed outsider message for 2022. With the right singer and the right producer, it was finally time to do the track justice.  Played already on 6 Music in its demo form by Roisin Murphy, with listeners raving since Roisin dropped that first sneaky tease.
