Binker and Moses leave the now behind and Journey to the Mountain of Forever.

Binker Golding and Moses Boyd will release Journey to the Mountain of Forever -  their second album for London record company Gearbox Records - on 2nd June 2017 in double vinyl LP and double CD formats.

When Binker and Moses’ debut album Dem Ones was released in the Summer of 2015 it kickstarted a remarkable year for the young saxophone and drums duo, who won a string of awards including the 2015 MOBO Awards: Best Jazz Act, Jazz FM Awards 2016: UK Jazz Act of the Year and Breakthrough Act of the Year and the 2016 Parliamentary Jazz Awards: Jazz Newcomer of the Year. Like the album itself, their festival and club performances received rave reviews and ever-growing audiences, culminating in a November 2016 UK tour with The Bad Plus. 

Journey to the Mountain of Forever is a story album about travelling from the known to the unknown. You can expect to meet with Shamans and Ultra Blacks and immerse yourself in strange rituals and echoes from the infinite.

Sessions for the new album took place on July 21st and 22nd 2016, resulting in 10 reels of tape filled with over five hours of music. Like it’s predecessor Dem Ones, the new album was recorded completely live from Mark Ronson’s Zelig studio by Grammy award winning engineer Ricky Damian. direct to a 1960’s Studer C37 1/4” tape machine at Gearbox’s studio next door with no edits or mixing. The vinyl lacquers were cut directly from this original stereo master on Gearbox’s 1967 Haeco Scully lathe with Westrex RA1700 series amps, using a Westrex 3DIIA cutting head and Telefunken U73B tube limiter, Maselec master control and equalisation and Audio Note monitoring equipment.

Journey To The Mountain Of Forever

Valley Of The Ultra Blacks

“Purveyor of deep, infectious dance grooves and a feel-good atmosphere.”

That’s how Good Ear Out(Tumaini Bodibeng Mabogoane) describes himself as a DJ/ music curator.  Never afraid to go too deep or swim above the surf,, his emotive musical selections are his own therapy.  

Having grown up on an eclectic combination of namely Funk, Jazz , 80s boogie , Township and 70s soul, among the plenitude of jams , all which became infused with his own love for both hip-hop and Afrobeat, 

GoodEarOut ended up with quite a mixed spectrum of musical influence. 

Today, this translates into sets where he picks apart and infuses together all the pieces of this music that he loves best: beautiful synth work, ethereal backdrops, brooding basslines, and occasional vocal hooks… all on top of a pronounced foot-shuffling beat.

A very active searcher of new sounds on a mission to reflect the times through music , GoodEarOut takes his influence and mixes it up for the contemporary dance floor.

GoodEarOut is no stranger to the ups-and-downs of the alternative music scene.  Though he loves playing in nightclubs, patios and special events, his love for music goes beyond the spectrum of mixing tunes.  As an artist manager and promoter, he has found plenty of ways to express himself musically.  He also likes to share new musical discoveries on his social media accounts. 
The Good Ear Out page on Facebook was established to share aforementioned discoveries with other DJs and encourage the uninitiated to get their good ears out. 

“For me, it’s all about mood and a deep, hypnotic groove… playing those tracks that get you tapping your feet and nodding your head without you realizing it, regardless of genre, tempo, style, or release date. “

Founded in 2009, Gearbox is a vinyl-led record label, mastering and vinyl-cutting studio and turntable manufacturer situated in London and Tokyo.

Output includes London jazz duo Binker and Moses, Indian percussionist and tabla-player Sarathy Korwar, tubist Theon Cross, and American jazz and funk five-piece Butcher Brown.

Hit the weed, hit the beat and most certainly drop some heat.

Working through multiple arts (drawing, music, poetry), Michaël Koswill composes melancholic music inspired by space and silence. Initially trained in percussion, he has long explored sounds to create particular atmospheres such as choreographies or soundtracks of films whose mysterious stories are only visible in his imagination. He also writes poems, paints and draws what he considers to be "brief forms for lively gestures".

Within the artistic collective Unclearpicture, he composes and writes texts inspired by the original photographic work of Sylvain Entressangle.
