Cátia De França - Sustenta a Pisada (corazón EDIT)

What would happen if you lock up a bunch of producers and musicians from different backgrounds into a studio complex for several days and give them complete creative freedom to record whatever they like? 

This is the question that music label INI Movement asked themselves. They decided to set up an experiment in their own studio complex in Haarlem. They invited a varied group of artists consisting of several members of brass band Gallowstreet, Rilan & The Bombardiers, Umoja & Pitch Controller Mitch. 

Guests that stopped by include Freshy Jazz and members of The Mauskovic Dance Band. The above mentioned contributors have helped each other with their personal projects but have never recorded in such a 'supergroup jam session type setting' where there was no directive style to the project. It could be seen as a collaboration in the style of supergroups like Soulquarians, Native Tongue or Odd Future. 

The result is a blend of different genres where the styles, tastes & speciality of each contributor meet. This is displayed in the tracks 'Berimbao' and 'Crappy Samba' where Umoja, best known for their tropical tracks and edits, is backed up with live recorded brass sections by members of Gallowstreet. Or Pitch Controller Mitch 
(formerly known as DJ for the group Pete Philly & Perquisite) not only contributing as producer, but also experimenting with his own vocals on 'Give It To Ya' & ‘A Star Is Born’. Also Rilan (lead singer of Rilan & The Bombardiers) can be heard on several songs including ‘Put Yo Feet Up Off The Wall’ where he complements the Disco & Funk drenched track with his raw vocal appearance. 

The young and talented multi-instrumentalist Lucas van Ee (Saxophonist in the group Gallowstreet) showcases himself as an established producer in many of the productions. 

The Collaboration 
Just like the collaboration between producers & musicians, collaborations have also taken place in the creation of the artwork (Photography by INDVDU edited in collages by visual artist Harm van Ee) and the creation of three music videos to be released along the way (one of which displays choreography by international dance phenomenon Roche Apinsa). The name Birdhouse is drawn from the nickname of INI's studio complex where this all went down. We dub this album 'Birdhouse Sessions Vol. 1' as an ode to this beautiful place that allows us to share our passion and experience complete creative freedom. One Love.

Astoria, Queens resident Adam Partridge, aka Atropolis, goes back to his roots with “From Greece With Love,” the second single from his upcoming album. Incorporating traditional Grecian sounds into the Global Bass / Tropical Dance genre, the track is a bass heavy dancefloor bomb featuring the unique musicianship of Yiannis Mandas, who lends his skills on the Cretan Lyra and vocals. 

Atropolis has spent the past decade teaching music production, releasing music, studying and working with sounds ranging from his own Greek-Cypriot heritage to other diverse musical cultures in Colombia, India, Mexico, Ghana and South Africa. With a degree in music composition and ethnomusicology, Atropolis is Adam’s alter ego that explores international styles of music fused with a diverse range of contemporary electronic genres. Growing up, Adam’s after school jazz program at Queens College greatly influenced his improvisational, compositional, and rhythmic approach to music production. His instructors at Queens College introduced a focused study on Thelonious Monk’s repertoire, which still resonates throughout Adam’s approach to playing his primary instrument, the piano. Parallel to these teenage musical moments, Adam was introduced to composition using Sibelius, and Digital Performer, where Atropolis got his first chops in music production using digital audio workstations.

His upcoming album, “Time of Sine,” is due on Wonderwheel Recordings in July, 2020.

Gilberto Gil - Andar Com Fé (Gaspar muniz edit)

“Four Fundamental States of Matter” is a debut EP for the Lithuanian producer Purple. While each piece is a different “state of matter”, Purple lets the listener to decide which one is which, individually. 

Gentle but uncertain currents of water, warm but not constant gusts of wind, solid and clearly visible objects, exotic but untouchable plasmic phenomenons happens around us everyday. But life itself is no different than those states surrounding us. It can feel liquified - unpredictable and shapeless; flowing but having no particular destination. Solid and tangible, giving us first hand experiences. Life can feel like it's disappearing and evaporating, no longer being visible. But sometimes it expands and opens up to us under unusual conditions. Life opens to us if we open ourselves to it.

In 1977 'Malinga Five' released a rare afro funk album on Barclay in France. 'Marie Thérèse' is one of the songs on this album, it's an uptempo version of the original, produced by Black Blood. We really loved this version and decided to give it a modern touch so it can pump through proper club sound systems and rock dance floors! It's a free DL, hope you enjoy :).

1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection.

I’m Simon Hill part of the psychedelic soul band MNP. Also playing bass in The Palms and a bit of everything in Beta Hector. I also make animation by the name of Manalishi. Life ain’t too shabby. I’ve been collecting vinyl for 25 years. Help!

2) 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format.

A 45 is condensed goodness and love.

3) One hour of vinyl goodness... can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?

The mix is half stuff I’ve bought during fun times in lockdown. I just grabbed a shoebox and pulled out the rest of my babies. Some of them are filthy rotten and some are just pure beauty.

4) Where can people catch you / listen to your music? 

The Palms rehearse in a park somewhere in Hove every other Friday night.
Myself and Toby from Mnp deejay monthly in The Jolly Brewer in Brighton but we’re waiting for them to open!
