"2015 seems to be a huge comeback year for R&B as a genre, while at the same time genre lines are becoming more and more blurred everyday. A new wave of artists find themselves combining rap, with R&B vocals, dance tempos, or even half-time, trapped out drum patterns. 

Enter Portland Producer, Neill Von Tally and Portland via LA vocalist, The Last Artful, Dodgr and their new collaborative effort Fractures. Just under 9 minutes of play time, the term collaboration is definitely not used lightly for this 3-track release distributed by former NBA star Martell Webster's new label, EYRST. 

While Dodgr approaches every instrumental with an ever evolving flow, stylistic delivery, and standout tone, she also importantly knows when and where to let Neill's soundscapes breathe, giving added life to every song. At times very dark and moody, Fractures takes the listeners on a roller coaster ride of emotion and energy. From the bouncy Slick Devious featured track, "InDemand" to the reflective, spiritual closing theme "Foreclosure," Neill and Dodgr truly achieve a unique vibe on this project that leaves listeners wondering what's next for these two artists. 

Available on iTunes, Spotify, and more, also be sure to stay tuned for an upcoming Fresh Selects x The Last Artful, Dodgr project, plus much more music from Neill and the EYRST family on the way." - Anthony Anderson

The Last Artful, Dodgr - Fractures EP (prod. Neill Von Tally)

Meet our most recent signee - The Last Artful, Dodgr.  Possessing one of the most unique voices out there, we were instantly drawn to Dodgr's one-of-a-kind style of rap singing when we first came across her music in late 2013.  Born in L.A. and currently residing in Portland, Dodgr is actually our first artist on the label to live in the same city as us.

Compiled in this playlist is her new collaborative release, Fractures, with producer Neill Von Tally, & some of our favorites from her past collaborations.

Expect much more from Dodgr coming in 2016 on Fresh Selects.

In our home all day I waited for the change
Something warm that I could say
Somehow I don't care
Though I love the clothes she wears
And I love her body bare

So I pray that it wont feel the same
Don't think that I can't see it in your eyes
Darling yeah we both knew it from the start
Some minds are better kept apart.

Here I pass the day in a most peculiar way
Watching ships out on the bay
And I swallow so hard
Am I too weak to fight
As the day becomes the night and I don't want to be right

So I pray that it wont feel the same
Don't think that I can't see it in your eyes
Darling yeah we both knew it from the start
Some minds are better kept apart.

SOULS IN THE DARK

Forthcoming on MTA Records.

Arriving fresh on the scene with a debut of anthemic proportions, France-born Trinidad-raised Toronto resident Kill Them With Colour aka producer Wesley Marsh joins forces with Chase & Status-helmed UK label MTA Records for new single ‘Get High’. The track has already seen plaudits from leading lights including The Magician, who included it in his Magic Tape 48, and Pete Tong and Annie Mac who have played ‘Get High’ numerous times on BBC Radio 1.

Kill Them With Colour’s inspired remixes of a diverse range of artists including ZHU, Raury, Kendrick Lamar, Marian Hill, Zella Day, Lana Del Rey, A$AP Rocky and Notorious B.I.G. alongside genre-hopping and deftly produced original tracks have notched up over 8 million combined views and listens on YouTube and Soundcloud, making him a mainstay in the Hype Machine charts with Hype M Radio listing KTWC’s remix of Ariel Pink’s ‘Round and Round’ as the #9 overall remix that year. Most recently, his original song ‘Always Somethin’ garnered worldwide success, tallying over 1 million plays on Soundcloud and drawing coverage from THUMP, Complex, Hypetrak, Earmilk, Indie Shuffle, Hilly Dilly, Do Androids Dance and DJ Mag to name just a few.

His debut single proper, ‘Get High’ is a huge statement of intent, opening with rolling trap snares and a rousing female vocal before a UK flavoured 4x4 beat takes to the floor. There’s something deliciously off-kilter about it too, as a distorted flute riff (yes, flute) drops in halfway through, heralding a gargantuan breakdown. The single is backed with a moody, bass-laden VIP version along with a ramped up club-ready Extended Mix.

Live, Kill Them With Colour has played alongside the likes of Ryan Hemsworth, Cut Copy, Rudimental, Classixx, Azari & lll and Fred Falke, as well as being invited to perform at the inaugural Toronto edition of Bestival this year with SBTRKT, Jamie xx, Flume, Caribou, Dusky and more.

"Today I’m super excited to premiere the latest release from The Last Artful, Dodgr, Jelly Hunt! The LA native caught my attention with an earlier release titled Squadron, on which she captivated me with her versatile and addictive sound.

The track was crafted by super producer, Neill Von Tally, a resident of Portland based label, EYRST, who The Last Artful, Dodgr joined forces with this year. The song is a fictional take on events from Dodgr’s childhood, “The song follows my brother and I on a car ride through LA that eventually goes awry.” Von Tally speaks on how the song was created, “The recording process included taking field recordings in LA as well as in Portland. We really tried to tell the story with every sound in the song as well as her lyrics.”

Stay tuned for more from the duo, who are prepping to release their LP, Bone Music." - Lily Mercer

"Portland stand up. Last night Aminé went on Fallon and delivered a beautiful, powerful performance of "Caroline," and he had some more Portland artists with him on backup vocals. One of those artists was The Last Artful, Dodgr, who has her own announcement to make today with "Oofda."

The song [Oofda] is the first single from The Last Artful, Dodgr and producer Neill Von Tally's upcoming album Bone Music, out in early 2017. We already knew the L.A.-born, Portland-based artist could spit, and we heard hints of her melodic delivery on songs like "Squadron" and "Jelly Hunt," but here she sings throughout in her raw, raspy, unmistakable voice.

Bone Music is both sonically and thematically cohesive, with a central narrative of a blue collar worker struggling through both work and a traditional relationship. This song in particular, Neill Von Tally explains, "is about the relationship our main character is in and the struggles that plague traditional long-term relationships, especially those strained by stressful work environments and a lack of monetary stability." - Pigeons & Planes (@pigeonsandplanes)

The Last Artful, Dodgr & Neill Von Tally - Oofda

In the summer of 2013, a then struggling artist who calls herself The Last Artful, Dodgr decides to quit her job and pursue music full time. She writes a song about how when (note: not "if") she gets on Sway In The Morning, she'll "rip it to shreds" & how her career will proceed to take off from there. 

In November of 2016, she gets her shot on the coveted radio show she had wished for, and she does, in fact, rip it to shreds. 

Today, we give you the song that made it happen. 

Let's see what happens from here...
