Atlas - Sophomore Sessions (SMBL028)
Release Date: January 28, 2014

"Atlas returns to Symbols to follow up their stunning 2012 debut Cities EP. Sophomore Sessions boasts a very deep and warm vibe from beginning to end. The time signature and beat switch up on Ashycan will definitely have you thinking. Monday Beats is a broken up garage session with tons of atmosphere and a catchy bassline. We hear vocalist Emily Harris really shine through on California amidst lots of bleeps, guitars and relaxed percussion. Glow wraps up the EP with a sauntering and slow four to the floor vibe. This is a perfect EP for those early mornings, pre parties, after parties, or just walking around town on the iPod."

Smart and subtle programming from Takuya Matsumoto. The synths shimmer over the crunchy drum pattern, and a graceful female vocal adds a faintly melancholic human touch. It may not be an archetypal floorfiller, its exquisite melody means it can be poignantly received at both the start and end of the night.

Takuya Matsumoto - Black To Blue

Lyrics:

Impossible

Impossible
Impossible
Life is a trip I know
But nothing is impossible

I believe that
life Is a trip 
that we all have to ride
as long you don’t hide
everything
everything will be alright

But I can’t control myself
as long as I 
don’t stay true to myself
I would love to go wild on this is
trip
I wanna loose myself

DISCO HI•LIFE

XVI Records are proud to present their latest signing, courtesy of Parisian producer ​Plage 84 ​(whose has previously released on the likes of ​Roche Musique).

His latest offering is entitled “Amango”, (as Mango’s are the most commonly found fruit in the Ivory coast) a fitting name, given that the EP itself is the result of a beautiful chance meeting in ​Abidjan​.

Following a driving curiosity to visit West & South Africa and discover new music, Plage 84 (AKA Kevin Descourty ) found his chance when his partner at the time was briefly working in Abidjan. Kevin explains “​I joined her and ​Dodji Efoui was living in the house next door right in the same street, obviously we met through a connection in common he had with my girlfriend’s family. ​Tulliae was a good friend of mine from France and she was randomly working on some projects in Abidjan at the same time, so we made some sessions together and they both met each other through this musical journey​”

The trio started jamming in the basement of Dodji’s house, utilizing very modest equipment but quickly realising that their chemistry was producing some pretty spectacular results.

Following this meeting of minds, a second trip to Abidjan was made, with a Shure SM58, a keyboard and a sound card, finally capturing the essence of this vibrant record. Kevin then began working tirelessly on molding the tracks in his unique style : “​I worked on many versions back in Paris, went in a friend’s studio in Morocco to continue it, and then I decided to move back to South africa, this time Cape Town for almost 2 months to finalize the last producing part on every track.”

“I would say this is my first project made between so many countries and I’m quite happy I think we can feel it inside the different tracks.”

Full of swirling textures, cascading shades and relentlessly changing patterns, the EP captures a true essence of creativity, inhabiting a unique trans-cultural space, demonstrating the sharing of ideas and coming together to create something beautiful. A reassuring message for such divided, troubling times.

< "Dean Chew is setting the standards in Singapore" - Gilles Peterson >

Earning praises from a worldwide range of selectors that include the likes of Dam-Funk, Tama Sumo, San-Soda, Mike Huckaby, Jamie XX and 2562, Dean aka the Funk Bast*rd (one half of the Cosa nostra duo and co-founder of Singapore-based label Darker Than Wax) has been tirelessly pushing and promoting an alternative expression of leftfield music through his widely eclectic and genre-bending sets. Being the main A+R and creative mastermind behind DTW, the label has flourished tremendously over  the past 5 years, cementing its place as one of the go-to labels out of South East Asia.

His musical selection, which traverses between a huge variety of musical genres like deep jazz, soul, funk, boogie, brazilian grooves, house, techno, breaks, hip hop and bass numbers have left many indelible marks on the dancefloors.

It’s no surprise then that he has played alongside some of the world’s finest like Gilles Peterson, Benji B, Kyle Hall, Lefto, Recloose, Gerd Janson, Basic Soul Unit, Linkwood, Norman Jay, Souleance, Pearson Sound, Krystal Klear, Tiger and Woods, Mike Huckaby, Seven Davis Jnr and most notably, warmed up for Dj Ez, Fourtet and Dam Funk.
His sets have also taken him around the world, playing most recently at Dimensions Festival in Croatia, various cities in Europe, Asia, and Brazil. In 2016, Funk B was also invited on BBC 1XTRA, Rinse RM, Radar Radio, and swung through the legendary Brownswood basement of Gilles Peterson with a 2-hour exclusive Worldwide FM mix. He is also a regular presenter on Gilles' Worldwide Fm, transmitting good vibes every 3rd Tuesday of the month.

Dean Chew always has something in the box that surprises. Just open those ears.
