Here I Am

For our first premiere of the week, MIMS presents “Spellbound”, lead single from UK-based producer King Knut’s forthcoming “XL” EP, due for release Aug 21. “Spellbound” is a hypnotic, heavy affair, putting us in mind of gritty 90s NY hip hop, dub, 90s trip hop and early Theo Parrish productions. 

We’re also very glad to share a video for the track, produced by Drive Me Home (Barkley Bandon, Later, CASisDEAD) and made using footage shot in the Costa Rican jungle by migratory naturalist, photographer, and small-scale coffee farmer Seth Beaudreault.

The EP comes on the back of 2018's cassette release Unreleased Beats Vol. 3 that received support and airplay from NTS, Wire Magazine and Trevor Jackson, and last year's remix for Lunch Money Life's Unlimited Ice Cream Palace on Kaya Records. The EP is mastered by Amir Shoat (Dean Blunt, Klein, Brother May).

A remix EP will follow later this fall with remixes from Cherrystones (Twisted Nerve, Touch Sensitive), Capitol K (Faith And Industry), Double Geography (Invisible Inc) and A'Bear.

Exclusive Premiere: King Knut "Spellbound" (Forthcoming Self-Release)

Going through all my 45s to cleanse some of the filler, I found a few I'd forgotten about or hadn't played in awhile. So here's a short late summer mix of things. Will try to keep things on schedule in the coming weeks, so stay tuned in! 

Tracklist: Antonio Carlos Jobim, War, Liquid Smoke, Smoke Rise, Quincy Jones, Ramsey Lewis, Bob Dylan, Liquid Crystal Project, Monk Montgomery

Pullin from the Stacks - Episode 138 (All-45s Late Summer Set)

AWB - How Sweet (Mark Wayward Edit)

Went into the crates to pull a few selections from the great jazz label Muse. Tried to stay away from some of the sample-favorites (no Walt Barr or Catalyst this time around). Instead, it's a journey into the a variety of styles and flavors, some creative and beautiful music made by a wide range of musicians in the 70s and early 80s. There's definitely another stack of records I wasn't able to include this round, so maybe a part two will be in the works for the future.

Tracklist: Dom Um Romao, Pat Martino, Cedar Walton, Joe Chambers, Mark Murphy, Deodato and Joao Donato, Eric Kloss

Pullin from the Stacks - Episode 143 (Muse Records Selections)

A selection of new jazz joints I've mostly found on Bandcamp recently - some digital-only, some not. Also something new from J. Rawl's Liquid Crystal Project! Enjoy.

Tracklist: Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge, Dougie Stu, Katalyst, Camarão Orkestra, HUMMUCIDE, Sunny Park, Liquid Crystal Project
