"Isolation" is the 2nd EP in Jonny Tobin's "Apocalypse" trilogy project. Lush synth chords and funk-infused beats and basslines merge with soaring harmonized synth lines that sizzle and sing. Shifting through moods and vibes that are uplifting with a hint of bittersweet nostalgia, this project was inspired by the moods and feelings that the global pandemic brought on.

Vivid Dreams

MIMS is excited to premiere the original and off-kiter grooves of "Spotlight", by young Calfornian beat maker, Telemakus, in collaboration here with drummer/producer bastrd.

“Stoplight”, the second single from Telemakus’ forthcoming record “The New Heritage”, showcases the artist's more experimental side. Fusing mixed metered drum patterns with angular chord stabs, the track is a continuous journey where the melody continues throughout, but the repetition contrasts the improvisations throughout the song cyclically.  Telemakus composed the track alongside producer/drummer bastrd, writing an arrangement that feels fresh and unique. 

After a childhood of listening to Dilla, Madlib, Glasper, and the modern hip hop/jazz greats, then starting his musical journey writing beats with an MPC, Telemakus seeks to further expand that off kilter beat focused sound by pairing it with the virtuosic sounds of the jazz funk greats like George Duke and Herbie Hancock. 

Fans of modern, beat focused jazz of artists like Kiefer, Rob Araujo and Anomalie will also find something they identify with in this track. "Stoplight" really showcases Telemakus’s versatility as a producer and artist. The second single from forthcoming album 'The New Heritage", due for release on October 13.

Here’s “A Cat Named Cinnamon” by Los Angeles based musician and producer Adam Rochelle aka PRNDL. Lately Adam has been working on a lot of lofi productions, so he decided to channel that vibe but more upbeat. While in a house-ier production mood, he felt drawn back to a jazz ballad he previously wrote (but never used). Using the original chord progression, he started producing this song with the energy of a mid-tempo jazz tune. So what started as a Jazz ballad ended up being a house-y upbeat jazz crossover. The result is simply wonderful, a lighthearted, playful and danceable tune with no restraints. As every detail is carefully manufactured here, something else can be discovered on each new play. This is a song that will provide a lot of joy and excitement.

It is also part of the upcoming EP by PRNDL that will release on Urban Waves Records April 14.
