One-to-watch, Liam de Bruin steps back up to the Heard and Felt plate with the irresistible live house grooves of "Lavender".

Since the release of modern disco jazz funk number "Friday Evening" on Heard and Felt we've impatiently waited for more from this exciting musician and producer. Finally, under the guiding hand and ear of Heard and Felt label boss Ennio Styles (3RRR FM/Worldwide FM), Liam is readying an EP that set to explore his love of house music and live instrumentation, from disco, boogie and jazz funk angles."Lavender" is a deeper number than "Friday Evening'", embracing more synth tones and a slinky, sexy, late night feel. And just when you’re feeling settled in the spacey groove, you find it's been growing in all directions, twisting into a low-key disco jazz bounce.

Considering Liam's feel for live house, jazz funk, boogie, and so on, it's no surprise he has been embraced so quickly by fellow Melbourne artists that have inspired him, like Close Counters, Horatio Luna, Teymori and Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange. Also recommended for fans of fellow MIMS-favourites, like Malik Alston, Julien Dyne, Byron the Aquarius, Floating Points, Kyle Hall, Theo Parrish and Duke Hugh.

"Lavender" is released on October 15 on Heard and Felt.

Steve Spacek 'Follow Me'

'All This Trouble' is the first track to land from Jonny Drop’s 2nd album "The Only Sound".  Warm, hazy Jazz is covered by a patchwork of percussion and beats that clearly display his sensibilities as a drummer. This early taste of the new album, due in June, is one of the closest heir’s to the "Sub Plot" crown, but confidently points at the producer’s development, which will be clearly heard in his new material. 

Jonny Drop’s debut, "Sub Plot", was the very first album release on the fledgling Albert’s Favourites label at the beginning of 2016. The initial offering, a 7” of album favourites 'Mind Field' and 'This Is The One' had quickly been picked up on by the good people at BBC Radio 6 Music as well as some of Drop’s personal heroes including Kenny Dope, Mr. Thing and Nightmares On Wax. But when the infectious rhythms and warm production of the beat tape landed, its impact was greater than anyone at the label could have hoped. 

Although Jonny never stopped producing beats in the following years, he was also kept busy as a drummer, playing live for Andrew Ashong, The Bongolian and Connie Constance, whose Boring Connie EP he also laid down beats for. Then in early 2018 his band The Expansions delivered their celebrated "Murmuration" LP. All the while, with the support of his label family, Drop had been evolving his solo sound too.

"The Only Sound sees a huge progression in my writing direction, as I collaborated with multiple vocalists and musicians, instead of the usual 'one-man band' approach. The development of these processes make this LP a steady departure from the beat-tape influence of my past releases, and hopefully, showcase the more original sound I've been working to achieve over the past few years."

ANGIS 222

Michele Manzo - Burning Chrome

Michele Manzo - musician and producer who boasts international collaborations with Omar Lye-Fook, Georgia Anne Muldrow and Declaime - is the man behind the second release of Angis Music, italian label curated by DJ Samuele Pagliai. The EP presents 3 different scenarios resulting from a spontaneous live session, which reflects the multiple influences and symphonic approach of an artist with various styles. This work, inspired by the science fiction novels of William Gibson - godfather of the cyberpunk genre - opens with the song “Burning Chrome”, conceived as a nighttime escape taking you at lightening speed through the alleys of a city that is galaxies away. Continuing on to the B side we have “Chiba City Park”, where the broken beat and abstract harmonies create an ambience similar to that of those in Neuromancer. Finally, “Nebula’s Grace” is a cosmic jam where time slowly floats away in dub echoes and disappears into the depth of space.

Pre-order Piananana EP here: https://sammybananas.bandcamp.com/album/piananana-ep

Sammy Bananas, known mainly for his work on A-Trak's groundbreaking NYC label Fool's Gold flexes his versatility offering up 3 flavors of piano based, club ready dance tracks on his debut EP for Bastard Jazz, the "Piananana EP". The signature funky and quirky style which he developed over a decade of releases is still audible, but the material here is geared more towards foggy late night basements. “Non-Stop” is built around hypnotic, syncopated stabs which slowly grow into a bass heavy stomper, while “Thrilla” meets somewhere between Bmore and Hardcore while still staying in the pocket. “Finesse” is a hauntingly soulful groove with a snaking analog bass line and Parisian producer Hugo LX, fresh off an EP with DJ Spinna, rounds out the release with a reserved and enticing take on “Non-Stop”.
