Arno E. Mathieu climbs into the hot-seat for a very special - and incredibly broad - Clash DJ Mix. Informed by the house and techno lineages, as well as his parent's jazz collections, this loose-limbed yet focussed mix shifts from classic techno to David Byrne and King Sunny Ade. Deep!

Reginald Omas Mamode IV follows last year’s self-titled debut album with ‘Children Of Nu’, set for release on 3rd November 2017. 

The 20 track album draws influence from the world around us, everyday life. As we witness rising poverty, global events, political and ethnic divisions - these factors prompt some of Reginald’s themes and call for humanity to recognise we are all interconnected. 

“We are all related. We're all brothers and sisters with common ancestry, common history and a common origin regardless of race, geographic location or belief systems. Love and compassion are universal feelings/practices we all should embrace and apply to all aspects of our lives, our interactions and our relationships, regardless of the kinship”.
- Reginald Omas Mamode IV

‘Children Of Nu’ encompasses Reginald’s musical and sonic influences - Afro Roots music through to jazz and soul. It draws from Africa as much as the west, an attempt to make a record 
that can exist in many contexts; the present, the future and past.

Recorded with freedom - most tracks remain from the first take - the process of creating ‘Children Of Nu’ was an open ended development from a natural, intuitive, starting point. Made with minimal thought of how tracks would end up, the music was led through the creative process. Born of a moment, each track is an attempt to capture that instance, mood, feeling or subject.

Last year’s self-titled debut album was warmly received, collecting critical success including Mojo (“A brand-new-retro delight”), Mixmag (“Peckham beat brilliance”), Record Collector (“Equal parts D’Angelo to J Dilla”), The Wire (“Soul music turned all the way inward”) and a Bandcamp Album of the Day (“Breathing lifeforms that are equally steeped in hip-hop, funk, soul and jazz”). It was also nominated for ‘Album of the Year’ at Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Awards 2017.

Along with Mo Kolours, Jeen Bassa, Henry Wu, Al Dobson Jr and Tenderlonious; he’s helped forge in the 22a co-operative that The FADER calls “a kaleidoscopic patchwork of hip-hop, house, and groove investigations bound by one thread: a timeless belief in rhythm as a universal language”.

Reginald Omas Mamode IV - Working

Having spent seven years in his adopted home of London steadily crafting a hazy, ambiguous identity that fuses ambient onto drone and techno, Tom Hang (aka Lobster Theremin boss Jimmy Asquith) finally steps up the the plate with 'To Be Held In A Non Position' - a melded one-take LP that explores extended themes of isolation, loneliness, personal loss, disconnection and reconnection with reality and (self)-identity.

Through his long-lost label Tidy Bedroom - on which 'To Be Held In A Non Position' will be released - Tom Hang engages in a more introspective path, exploring sonic territories that find an echo with dislocated past experiences, pushing physical and psychic boundaries to get at the crux of intimacy.

The landscape laid out is a digitised, plasticised and roughened version of real life experiences. A reflection of the physical harshness, coldness and a detached non-position that comes with the dislocating of the individual from both social connections and reality itself. Told through a prism tinted with personal difficulty, it's scorched harsh extremities waft in and out of view around more subtle tones and textural elements. A phasing in and out of the real world, from the perspective of the individual and the anxiety-driven hive-mind we have become so dependent upon.

Tom Hang's previous releases have come via London experimental powerhouse Where To Now?, with an effusive live cassette, 'Tidy Bedroom Versions 2009-2013', released in February 2015. Later followed by an organic, textural techno EP 'The New World' released via the same imprint in September 2016.

Janis Crunch & haruka nakamura - カノン (12 & 1 SONG, 2011)

Originally just an improvisation. I thought I'd give it structure and finish it. Maybe too cluttered for a single composition.

Kyle was this guy who I found at an open mic poetry night and he did this unbelievably beautiful thing about meeting this girl for the first time. Describing the bar as tho it was like a war zone of like absolute chaos. The line ‘in this smoking chaos our shoulder blades kissed’ is as close to perfection as 8 words can get.
Kyle was also then super sweet about it when I told him I’d re pitched him into a whole damn song lol 😬🙏🤗🙏
I think let’s all be more like Kyle
