"Following her debut EP 'Light It Again' for us in late 2020, Allysha Joy's track 'Better' is re-visited by Kaidi Tatham, who reworks the track in his own inimitable way; starting on a half-tempo neo-soul vein, before switching to his trademark fusion of bruk, boogie and jazz mid-way".

'A Family Affair' is out on First Word Records on 12" vinyl, April 16th 2021.

Lyrics:

Won't let a thing rely on fact,
And now you're to blame for lies and attacks, yeah
And all that you mean
Only two ways – to crumble or crack
And nowt left to say when love just don't matter
On what will we cling?

Yeah yeah yeah…

I'm with you now
In the rocket's red glare
I'm with you now
For the twilight's last gleaming
I'm with you now
For this

And oh, the old days
Where dawn once cracked
And now this new phase,
Where life just don't matter, yeah
And how will we sing?

Yeah yeah yeah…

I'm with you now
In the rocket's red glare
I'm with you now
For the twilight's last gleaming
I'm with you now
For this

I'm with you now
In the rocket's red glare
I'm with you now
For the twilight's last gleaming
I'm with you now
For this

Lyrics:

All around the metropole, a deathly breeze
Flung around the doughnut hole’s peripheries
All the dumb roses replaced by weeds
And art is just some brand ‘round here

Even if we automate the rivers clean
Everything in Helvetic, clinic beauty
Life’s been dyed to grey from green
The Earth don’t understand what we’re doing here

Yeah – and our only stance is to film the blistering
Our little rock in the gutter
It was our design, we’ve got to charge our batteries
And we held it down and watched it bleed, yeah

Oh, to be a human babe – a godless blink
Sucking on the Milky Way’s umbrella drinks
Only glum tumblers, where once was skin

And I don’t own no flowers
I don’t got no power
I don’t possess nothing here
I’ll no longer cower
I don’t need ‘Jim Wood Towers’
When I’m just powder scattered here

Yeah – and our only stance can be to let them listen in
Stored in the cloud, every mutter
It was our design, the world’s a person factory,
It’ll hold you down

Lyrics:

I'm out cold like hope, stoned and limed
My man had 4 jacks and I the drink and moonlight
I'm out cold like old satellites
I shoulda called it but I'll know for the next time

I'm out cold from ode-stolen lines
I had a fall back but shot through like a TEC-9
I'm out and cold but I'm still motivated for the next life
Would ya, babe 
Would ya, babe 
Would ya, babe – let me slide?

Would you really let me
Would you really let me
Would you really let me
Would you really let me slide?
Would you really let me
Would you really let me
Would you really let me
Would you really let me slide?

I'm out cold like ghosts on The Rye
I tried to duck out but got caught by a stiff right
Ohhh now it's just that back 9
I'm out cold again, the failure of a lifetime

I'm out a cold and every moment's slipping by
Still hoping truth still betters style
I'm out cold now, having fallen from some withering height..

Would ya, babe 
Would ya, babe 
Would ya, babe – let me slide?

Would you really let me
Would you really let me
Would you really let me
Would you really let me slide?
Would you really let me
Would you really let me
Would you really let me
Could you really let me slide?

Lyrics:

Oh, there's a person you admire
The one that someone else turned out to be
The version that you're holding from your baby
Caught on your tongue 
Were the words that could make it all holy
Favourited ya
Was a little bit alone

Drowning out – the fact that it's already
Drowning out – yeah, the fact that it's already
Drowning out – fact that it's already drowned
Makes you drown, makes you drown, makes you drown

Oh, there's that vision in the fire
The one that kicked the murder out of me
The one that hung the firmament so greyly 
Caught in your soul
Were the grapes of a load lightening
Double tapped ya
Felt a little less alone
Drowning out – the fact that it's already
Drowning out – yeah, the fact that it's already
Drowning out – fact that it's already drowned
Makes you drown, makes you drown

Drowning out – the fact that it's already
Drowning out – yeah, the fact that it's already
Drowning out – fact that it's already drowned
Makes you drown, makes you drown

Royce Wood Junior "Too Early To Say"

MIMS is very excited to have the first drop on Orestes Gomez' remix for fellow Venezuelan Raúl Monsalve y los Forajidos' "Bocón". A lush neo-soul & jazz heavy bed for Luzmira Zerpa's poignant verbal attack on lying politicians. Taken from a forthcoming remixes 45 on London-based Olindo Records.

Orestes' remix made a BIG impression on Raúl Monsalve: "I was so impressed by what Orestes did, taking the original track to another realm... and groovy as a motherfucker". Orestes is joined on the track by some impressive sidemen, including bassist Daniel Briceño (La Vida Boheme) and flautist Eric Chacón (Tony Succar / Miguel Siso).

Orestes Gomez is one of the most recognized drummers in Latin America. His work fusing musical genres including: Afro, Latin, Hip Hop, and Jazz has earned him international recognition. He has travelled the world playing and collaborating with some of the most respected bands of Latin America including; Los Amigos Invisibles, Gustavo Dudamel, Caloncho, Mcklopedia, Apache, and Akapellah. On the remix he is joined by some exciting musicians, including bassist Daniel Briceño (La Vida Boheme) and flautist Eric Chacón (Tony Succar / Miguel Siso).

Last year Orestes produced the entirety of 'Dealers in Caracas', a hip hop album in partnership with Venezuelan MC Mcklopedia, and earlier this year he released a series of contemporary jazz pieces in a trio with Latin Grammy nominated pianist Gabriel Chakarji and bassist Freddy Adrian.

Raúl Monsalve and his all-star family of musicians received praise and support for their exciting fusion of Afro Venezuelan rhythms with Latin jazz, psych, funk and Afrobeat, from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Gideon Coe, Huey Morgan, Stuart Maconie (BBC Radio 6 Music), Jazz FM, NTS, Songlines, Bandcamp, Radio Nova, Le Grigri, FIP, and of course, Music Is My Sanctuary.

Raúl Monsalve y los Forajidos are currently on a European tour with dates across France, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland and the Supersonic Jazz Festival in Amsterdam.

The Orestes Gomez remix of "Bocón" is streaming from this week across all the usual platforms and is available to pre-order on vinyl and download from the Olindo Records Bandcamp. The full 45 with a remix of another 'Bichos' cut, by fellow Venezuelan Venezonix, is due for release on September 4, 2021.
