The brothers Nikolaj & Mikkel Hess have shared 40 years of musical explorations. This is the second recording of Piano Chronicles.

'Iboja's Theme' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

‘Ibojas’s Theme’ is dedicated to and inspired by Iboja. Hess Is More released his latest album in January where 99-year-old Iboja Wandall-Holm sings and unfolds her unrivaled inventory of childhood memories and unique treasures of songs.

This single is made recorded as a four-handed piano session where Mikkel and Nikolaj play at the same time on the same piano. The atmosphere is almost reflecting a conversation between the two brothers.

Enjoy melodies and harmonies that’ll get you hooked, and the improvised surprises that’ll keep you coming back. This is music of the moment, shaped by the shared musical history of these two musical brothers.

Hess Is More & Nikolaj Hess - Iboja's Theme (Take 3) - s0556

What could be better for that awkward first date when after hours of silence and being all tongue tied you simply cannot find the correct words to “break the ice”, with romance burning in your heart you long to whisper sweet nothings into her ear.
No fear, why not practice Cha Cha (mambo) dancing and give a nod to yesteryear. Nothing beats a first date like a little cheek to cheek Cha Cha’ing with your potential sweetheart. And where do you find this music? Fear not Freddy Fresh now has a free pre mixed Cha Cha (or mambo if you “dare”)  style medley of songs that offer that special “spice” you appear to be missing. So press play and grab your sweetheart and show her what your “made” of.
Made with original 45 vinyl records (a thing of the past)

cha cha dancing for real men

Therapy (part 5)

The Vanishing Path II
marks the final step of the album Tides of Melancholy. Nine chapters of doubt, longing, and inner struggles lead to this very moment – the end of a long and burdensome journey. Sadness lingers in its melodies, with the piano opening like a distant memory of everything that has passed. Yet with every note, something greater unfolds: choirs, strings, and percussion transform melancholy into something majestic, almost comforting.

This finale is not only a farewell but also a promise. It reminds us that every path, no matter how difficult, eventually reaches its end – and within that end, peace can be found. For those caught in darkness and doubt, this track seeks to offer courage: the courage to keep moving forward, the courage to let go, and the courage to discover a quiet strength in transience.

The Vanishing Path II bildet den letzten Schritt des Albums Tides of Melancholy. Neun Stationen voller Zweifel, Sehnsucht und innerer Kämpfe führen zu diesem Moment – dem Ende eines langen, beschwerlichen Weges. Traurigkeit liegt in den Klängen, das Klavier eröffnet leise wie eine Erinnerung an alles Vergangene. Doch mit jedem Ton entfaltet sich etwas Größeres: Chöre, Streicher und Schlagwerk erheben die Melancholie in etwas Erhabenes, fast Tröstliches.

Dieses Finale ist nicht nur ein Abschied, sondern auch ein Versprechen. Es erinnert daran, dass jeder Weg, so schwer er auch sein mag, irgendwann sein Ende findet – und dass im Ende auch Frieden liegt. Für all jene, die in Dunkelheit und Zweifel gefangen sind, will dieser Track Mut sein: Mut, weiterzugehen, Mut, loszulassen und im Vergänglichen eine stille Stärke zu finden.

Tides of Melancholy

The Vanishing Path II

“Despierta, el sol somos nosotros.
El día nace de nuestras almas unidas.”
Tras la noche de fuego y cosmos, amanece.
No es un sol cualquiera: es la luz nacida de nuestro amor.
Las almas despiertan bañadas en oro y azul,
un nuevo día donde todo está por escribirse,
y cada nota es un rayo que abre los ojos al infinito.

Worldwide Reggae Selection vol.2

During our 30+ year history we have become well-known for championing a wide-range of musical genres, but for many people we will forever be associated with the golden age of hip hop and our Soho stores. The memories of the music and culture from that time are intertwined with the experience of being in that store (for customers and staff alike). Mr Bongo founder and MD, Dave Buttle, recalls that heady period in Mr Bongo history…

"It was a really exciting time. Soho was booming - full of media companies, record, stores, labels, and the place to go in London for your vinyl shopping needs. If you had an exclusive new hip hop release in store the word would spread and it would be a roadblock. We are talking the early Rawkus releases, Mos Def, Company Flow, then we had Dr Octagon, exclusive Lord Finesse bits from Japan."

Hip hop will always be in the DNA of Mr Bongo and a couple of years back we decided to channel that into a Mr Bongo Hip Hop 45 reissue series. Our ambition was to release the best and most in demand cuts from the 80’s and 90’s on 7" in original picture sleeves. It’s a collection of our personal favourites, Bongo store anthems and undeniable classics. We kicked the series off with A Tribe Called Quest ‘Scenario’ and we are about to hit release number 20 with the Egyptian Lover ‘Computer Love'. The series has featured artists such as Nas, Souls of Mischief, Ultramagnetic MC’s, Cypress Hill, Gang Starr, Black Sheep - to name a few. The response to these releases has been fantastic - the demand for these cuts is coming in from all around the world and we are very thankful for the support and love they are getting!

To celebrate reaching release number 20 in the series we thought now would be a good time to showcase the catalogue in full. We called in DJ Chris Read to put together an exclusive Mr Bongo Hip Hop 45’s mix. Chris is a long-time collaborator with Bongo, has a deep knowledge of hip hop, and is an incredible DJ. Perfect for this mix. 

"Every track featured in the Bongos Hip Hop 45s reissues series is a certified classic and a high proportion of these records featured heavily in my DJ sets during the 90s and beyond. It was a lot of fun not only to see these records again on 45, but also to revisit them in this mix. 

In the years after I moved back to London in the early 2000s, a record shopping trip to Soho was a regular part of my Saturday routine and a visit to Mr Bongo's Berwick Street store was an essential stop on a circuit that took in stores including Record and Tape Exchange, Major Flavas, Scenario, Deal Real and many others. The space was small, the queue for the counter usually deep and the vibe was often hectic, but the atmosphere was electric. I have no idea how many hours I must have spent flicking through the racks or stood at the counter trying to get a glimpse of the latest arrivals up on the wall, but they were hours well spent, made all the better by the presence of some top class DJs serving from behind the counter.” Chris Read
