From the outback of Brazil to the favelas of Adelaide, Xanga hurls bolts of lightning at the people chosen to be his followers, leaving behind imprints of stone axe blades on the Earth's crust. 
With a collection of ambulant drum patterns and raw junk-box rhythms Xanga set the mood for a party. A real party. Forget the deep basslines and moody melodics for a second and put yourself in the hands of these propitious shamans of movement. 
Baile funk saw its rise in the international spotlight around the mid 2000's. It then faded back into the shadows not too long after... what we tend to forget that it still existed and continued to thrive, grow and develop in its homelands and even abroad…. This is where it is at now - the energy is still the same but the ideas are forward thinking whilst still honest to their roots - the roots of the party and the people that built it.

The Pit of Language

"Laughing in the Wilderness” is the centrepiece of Samuel Virgo’s new artistic era — an alternative rap track laced with post-punk grit. Inspired heavily by the Skinty Fia sound of Fontaines D.C. and the melodic grit of Newdad. Jagged guitars meet stripped-back drums and emotionally raw vocals, delivering a sound that's incredibly introspective. Whether he's spitting over distorted basslines or crooning into the void, Samuel Virgo makes music for people looking for something real. He's already earned support from being played on BBC Introducing Sheffield , features on Record of the day & COLORSXSTUDIO, a set at The Alternative Escape Festival 2024 and playlisting from DMY and Ones to watch.

Laughing in the Wilderness draws inspiration from NewDad, Fontaines D.C., and the raw confessional energy of other indie icons. The song in its simplest form is a love song - about the eurphoria of losing yourself in your partners eyes and the intensity of that connection. “Laughing in the Wilderness” stands as his boldest statement yet: a sound that’s genre-defying and distinctly Samuel Virgo.

Mueran Humanos - Miseress

We've been noticing londoner producer Alex Keefe aka "Tagwell Woods" with its first release for Willie Burns "WT Records" more than two years ago. He's back on wax with a 6 tracker mini-LP on dutch label Photic Fields who released a 2015 highlight for us with The Submersible Machines "Waypoints". Tagwell Woods certainly draws a large panel of vintage sounds and "Chance" here premiered is a true piece of art, an emotional & deep acidic cut full of melancholy ! 300 copies already out, don't sleep

PREMIERE : Tagwell Woods - Chance

Art Feynman - Near Negative EP available December 15th, 2017 from Western Vinyl

Near Negative showcases Art Feynman's signature grooves, krautrock slink, and staccato bounce, all captured on his trusty four-track cassette recorder.

Earlier this summer, Art Feynman released his debut full-length album Blast Off Through the Wicker and toured the US with Stereolab's Laetitia Sadier. Pitchfork describes him as "a cool purveyor of coked-out dub-kraut." Consequence of Sound calls his debut a "funky, psychedelic slice of afro-pop" and Tiny Mix Tapes regards it as an "analog masterpiece."

In 2018 Art Feynman will return with his sophomore LP that takes us even further into his motorik and afrobeat inspired world of sound.
