In-demand, groove-fuelled producer Opolopo and 24 Carat singer-songwriter Angela Johnson introduce brand new single Buffalo on Reel People Music, the second single to precede their eagerly awaited album Best of Both Worlds due later this year. 

Best of Both Worlds is simply feel-good music that’ll ‘make you want to dance…move… maybe love on somebody’. Buffalo is an immediate proof point, infectious percussion and scat play chopping between deep down synth-bass and cosmic jazz-funk solos (courtesy of Reel People Music label cohort, Kaidi Tatham) before firing euphorically into full-on 4-4 groove.

Stockholm-based DJ-producer Opolopo (real name Peter Major) can boast two decades’ worth of productions right across the soulful dancefloor spectrum for labels such as Local Talk, Z Records and Defected. His remix discography includes Gregory Porter, Jungle, Leroy Burgess and Mother’s Favorite Child. NYC native Angela Johnson was a member of acid jazz group Cooly’s Hot Box before enjoying solo success via a string of acclaimed R&B albums including They Don’t Know, It’s Personal and Naturally Me. During the Noughties, Johnson featured on Reel People singles Can’t Stop, In The Sun and You Used To Hold Me So Tight.

Buffalo is another slam dunk for two exceptional artists with much more to come. It’s also a continuation of Reel People Music’s incredible discographic run. Borne out of the success of acclaimed collective Reel People in 2009, the label has built a fiercely loyal international fanbase through its passion for artist development, musicianship, song-craft and soulful groove.

Mishell Ivon’s soulful voice shines through, delivering a message of hope and celebration, while Vincent Kwok’s polished production weaves together a soundscape that is both fresh and nostalgic.

The inspiration for "Shining Star" stems from Mishell Ivon and Vincent Kwok's shared love for the joyful and optimistic spirit of the 80s. Both artists grew up surrounded by the era’s uplifting melodies and danceable beats, and they wanted to capture that same energy in a song that feels both nostalgic and contemporary.

For Mishell Ivon, the song's message of self-confidence and resilience was central. "We wanted to write something that reminds people to embrace their inner light, no matter what life throws at them," she explains. "The 80s were a time when music was full of life, color, and fun – and that’s exactly the feeling we wanted to bring back with 'Shining Star.'"

Vincent Kwok's production approach was rooted in paying homage to the classic sounds of the era while giving them a modern twist. "The lush synths, groovy basslines, and catchy hooks of 80s music have always been a huge influence for me," he says. "With 'Shining Star,' we wanted to evoke that nostalgia, but also make it fresh for today’s listeners, blending old-school influences with new-school techniques."

Mishell Ivon and Vincent Kwok, the dynamic duo known for their infectious blend of funk, soul, and electronic grooves, are back with their latest single, "Addicted." This is a high-energy anthem that continues to build on the pair's unmistakable chemistry and signature sound.

Led by producer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Mark de Clive Lowe, Tokyo’s Rōnin Arkestra brings together some of the most supreme and innovative players in Japan’s Jazz and electronic scene, featuring members of Kyoto Jazz Sextet, WONK, Cro-Magnon, Root Soul, Sleepwalker, Sauce81 and Kyoto Jazz Massive. Formed in 2017, the collective’s debut album ‘Sonkei’, released 27th September via Albert’s Favourites, fuses ’60s deep and spiritual jazz with experimental electronica. The album follows the release of their critically acclaimed debut EP ‘First Meeting’, released earlier this year.

The super-group takes their name from Rōnin, the masterless samurai of a time gone by. Deadly master swordsmen who, without lords to serve, roamed Japan offering their skills wherever needed. As the need for their swordsmanship declined, they became master artisans making textiles, crafting poetry, painting and writing books.It’s a fascinating evolution that has a parallel to each member in the Rōnin Arkestra collective - master musicians from different bands and clans coming together to create a vagabond band of like-minded musicians - weaving the stories of their lives into a collective sound. 

Mark de Clive-Lowe is a half-Japanese, half-New Zealander musician, composer and producer raised in Auckland, New Zealand. He came to international prominence during his decade living in London between 1998 and 2008, a became a regular collaborator with a community of producers including Bugz in the Attic, 4Hero and Restless Soul. A veteran of the UK's broken beat movement, he has been involved with over 200 releases, collaborating with artists including Lauryn Hill, Jody Watley, Shirley Horn, UK soul singer Omar, percussionist Sammy Figueroa and bass player Pino Palladino.Rōnin Arkestra have received global radio support including Mary Anne Hobbs and Huey Morgan on BBC Radio 6 Music, Gilles Peterson and Worldwide FM.
