Shhor Slowly

Rough Sketches’ is a continuous journey through a typical session between Warren Xclnce and Reiss G. The London based duo have been collaborating for the best part of two years progressing their sound design from hard hitting beat-work to down-tempo and experimental electronica. 

This project sees both their influences and styles amalgamated into a 25 min uninterrupted continuous–play session which began as a drafted beat tape but has since developed into something more unique featuring world recordings, local inspiration, vocal features and elaborate sound design. 

Reiss and Warren are currently undergoing a creative transition as a collaborative entity so expect a few projects in the near future as they develop their sound and both continue to work on their own respective solo projects.

Off Nights (2020) is the first solo venture of Philly-based producer, multi-instrumentalist and DJ Lee Clarke, known for his jazz-inflected, texturally rich beatmaking. As executive producer of Kingsley Ibeneche’s Realms EP (2019), Lee Clarke’s studio work has recently received praise from Afropunk, The Fader, OkayPlayer, OkayAfrica, and NPR.

After years co-writing and producing music behind the scenes for a number of artists soon to be released in Astro Nautico's Atlantics X series (Kingsley Ibeneche, Jasmine Cassell, KillerWhale) and managing and performing with Kingsley Ibeneche’s live band, Clarke's individual expressions find pockets of atemporal melodic bliss circulating over funk, hip-hop, and RnB rhythm sections.

There is a unique lyricism in Clarke's idiosyncratic production techniques, with stylistic nods to jazz and Brazilian samba. The music is additionally layered with colorful contributions from Jarrett Gilgore (saxophone), Martin Gottlieb-Hollis (trumpet), and Astro Nautico co-owner Bennett Kuhn (additional production).

Off Nights marks the beginning of Astro Nautico’s Atlantics X campaign to benefit artists negatively impacted by COVID-19. Clarke’s next productions for this campaign include releases by Kingsley Ibeneche, Jasmine Cassell, KillerWhale, and a collaboration with Kingsley Ibeneche and Ivy Sole. Kingsley Ibeneche’s debut full-length album, executive produced by Lee Clarke, is also forthcoming on Astro Nautico.

Lee Clarke - No Shaman

Following on from previous single ‘Oh My Love’, ‘Mami Wata’ sonically takes inspiration from Timbaland production and lyrically is about the divine power of a woman’s sensuality. Speaking on the release, Sola said: “There is a strength within feminine sexuality that women are often forced to downplay because it has been seen as a threat to men throughout history. I wanted to explore this through channelling the spirit of ‘Mami Wata’. ‘Mami Wata’ is an enchanting water spirit celebrated in the African diaspora and is similar to the western idea of a mermaid. She brings good fortune and wealth, but is often seen as deadly and dangerous to men because of her seductive prowess.”

Sola’s unique vocal delivery taking inspiration from the likes of Sade and Nina Simone with production drenched with r&b flavours reminiscent of Timbaland or Pharrell. It’s this unique blend that makes Sola such an exciting prospect, both producing and providing vocals for the music she creates. Having played classical piano since the age of 6, it wasn’t until she discovered the raw and unfiltered vocals of Nina Simone several years later that she grew the confidence to accept her own voice and start singing. After a four- year stint at the prestigious New York University, Sola started producing her own music. It was a time she found herself obsessed with Portishead, Massive Attack, and Burial, loving their darker, cinematic qualities and their ability to blur genres. It’s these influences that you can hear in her debut EP ‘Wealth Has Come’, which she affectionately titles ‘warped soul’.

With a new EP confirmed for later this year, if ‘Oh My Love’ and ‘Mami Wata’ are anything to go by, SOLA is definitely a one-to-watch.
