[Emotional] Especial returns to the music of Peter Reilly aka Persian, with a second EP
diving into his extensive catalogue to celebrate this cult artist and evaluate his recent decision to retire from music production.

For over 20 years Reilly has been an exemplary electronic producer, a producer’s producer, a DJs producer, releasing over 50 EPs that crossed genres, from Breaks to Digidub, Electro to Garage, House to Jungle and on and on.

If this release is to act as an epitaph, then its exploration of Reilly’s wonderful programming, sampling and understanding of emotions is laid bare. Spread across a series of self-released edits hidden within limited run EPs, Questions appeared as something akin to beats interludes, across numerous releases over the last 10 years.

Bringing the best versions together on one EP, Questions 1, 2, 5, 3 and 7 have been re-edited, extended and sequenced into a continuous mix especially for this finale. Starting with the ambient breaks of Questions 1, this is a Balearic beginning where bubbling acid meets haunting refrain, before segueing effortlessly in to the sunrise breaks of Questions 2. A nod to Carl Craig’s classic Incognito remix, the solo keys add a touch of jazz to a glide by shooting melody.

Side 2 rises. Question 5 heralds a half stepper Dub bassline riding the Amen breaks, the now familiar Brando sample, a wormhole in your brain that ties the EP together, joining the dots as strings float skywards, allowing Questions 3 break it all back down. Herbie Handcock inspired Funk Boogie beat, shouts out to his own Existence To Resistance label, leads to the pure ambient closing of Questions 7. A showcase again of Persian’s multi-genre dexterity and maybe, just maybe brings an influential music chapter to a close. 

B3. Persian - Questions 7

One hour of pure energy made up of old and new tracks that undeniably make us nostalgic for our best club memories.

“In the ashes of my homeland, I planted my hopes like olive trees—knowing they would outlive the fire" — Fadwa Tuqan

Letters to the Sun emerged from a place beyond language. What if we stopped screaming into the void of geopolitical power games, and poured attention towards each other instead? What would it mean to build a space that assumes equal footing - a space where we can simply express, on our terms? For sorrow, for rage, for stillness… for the Sun.

This compilation is an attempt to do just that. A sound sanctuary built from words, sounds, breaths, instruments, and pauses - confronting the chasm of silence forced upon the rubble of Gaza, where each bomb is an affront to our humanity, and each whataboutism a dilution of horror. Here, we create space to feel and to share the within, from within, and for one another.

All proceeds of this album are donated to Revive Gaza’s Farmland, a project by Golo Besmlah and the Arab Group for the Protection of Nature. The initiative works to rehabilitate devastated agricultural land and rebuild local food systems. In a place where over 95% of farmland has been systematically destroyed - and where food is weaponised to subjugate and displace - the act of farming becomes an act of resistance.

"I’ve been thinking about recording a left-field mix (for the lack of better term) for quite a while, definitely for a couple years already. About a year ago I finally complied the selection of records, but for some reason I was postponing the very final step of recording it ever since. It is only because I took my first ever sabbatical leave from work recently that I managed to find inspiration for it to be finalised, and even to be repeatedly re-recorded, since the first take got screwed by the recording device’s misconfiguration.

This is not a perfect mix. But I’m still proud of it. The selection of records spans from 92 to 112 bpm, and the very premise of playing it in one take using only vinyl still sounds challenging to me. Yet, here we are: the mix is finally ready after all these months and years of hesitation and procrastination."

Hardway Bros French Caribbean outing…

The Hardway Bros went outre-mer, To seek Mamman Brigitte so fair,
With pockets full of tree frog songs, And voodoo drums and silken thongs.

They sailed beyond the infinite sky, Where Mari Galante’s beauties lie,
Through heat and rain and humid air, They combed the island everywhere.

“Oh Mamman Brigitte!” came their cry, “We’ve brought you frogs that never die!
They sing at night, they sing at noon, They sing beneath the heavy moon!”

But she just laughed a laugh so wide, And vanished with the turning tide,
And left the Bros to stand and stare, At sea and sky and humid air.

Now Hardway Bros play cards with frogs, And sleep on very uncomfortable logs,
While somewhere near the outre-mer, Mamman Brigitte is drinking beer.

The latest Hardway Bros EP is a result of some recent downtime in Mari Galante:

“I recently enjoyed a rare holiday on Mari Galante in the french caribbean – a place of incredible beauty, infinite sky and sea. It’s a veritable assault on the senses, heat, humidity, sun and rain, soundtracked by a million tree frogs. Strong voodoo vibes. Herewith an audio postcard from the real Outre-Mer…”

We’re premiering the lead voodoo belter here..
