With the full length, Return To The 37th Chamber dropping April 14th, El Michels Affair releases another flawless two sider to hold us over.

Side A’s cover of Tearz is as much an homage to the Wendy Rene sample as it is to the Wu-Tang Clan track.

The song starts as a glazed over cover of "After Laughter" with Shannon Wise of The Shacks singing Wendy Rene's timeless mantra. Halfway through, the mood dramatically shifts and the drums and organ that drive the original RZA sample, take over. A dubbed out Lee Fields taps in like only he can, and the song spirals into outer space.

Side B finds EMA dipping into the deeper side of the Wu catalog with Raekwon’s Verbal Intercourse. Mixing the grimy, gritty production aesthetic of the original with elements of dubbed out reggae, El Michels Affair once again pushes the definition of a “cover” and truly makes it a tune of their own.

El Michels Affair - Tearz feat Lee Fields & The Shacks(45 Mix)- BC008-45 - Side A

"Ominous Shanti is the latest track from the wonderful percussionst / band leader Emanative (AKA Nick Woodmansey) and true to his name it is a marvelous original concoction of eastern sounds, punching horns, trance - inducing rhythms and Miles like inprovisations. Do yourself a favor and put it in your earhole!"

- Idris Ackamoor of The Pyramids - March 2017


"So this is a new one from Emanative, that's the Collective that belongs to Nick Woodmansey …
I might have to drop again next week because I love it so much!"

- Gilles Peterson BBC 6Music - Feb 2017

Emanative aka Nick Woodmansey makes his return on self-released limited 7", Ominous Shanti / Black Enchantment – two tracks that perfectly display Nick’s flavour for interesting rhythms, eastern sounds and contemporary influences.

The A-side, ‘Ominous Shanti’ sees Nick collaborate and create with Tamar Osborn, Sarathy Korwar, Suman Joshi, Ben Hadwen, Simon Finch and Jessica Lauren. Recorded between Malcolm Catto's Heliocentrics and Ibibio Sound Machine's studios.

"We're releasing this one ourselves privately, on the kind of non-existant label Home Planet Recordings, so any and all support really appreciated!
It's a limited edition, so please don't miss out!"

- Nick Woodmansey

Take it Slow- Andrew Ashong

New York singer and activist Danielle Ponder pairs up with Melbourne cinematic soul outfit Karate Boogaloo to deliver ‘Look Around’ and ‘Little Bit’ , on limited edition 7inch vinyl for the collections of
classic soul fans and afficionados everywhere. The haunting A side “Look Around” has garnered glowing reviews since its release in July and substantial airplay on KCRW, KEXP, BBC and Worldwide FM among
others, and is now joined on the b side by the sweet and uplifting ‘Little Bit’.

Coming from different continents and different backgrounds was no obstacle to Danielle Ponder and Karate Boogaloo forming an immediate musical connection in the studio. The instant connection is obvious on both sides of the record, which were written and recorded in the same session. ‘Look Around’ is a brooding ballad reflecting on the times we live in, and the warm and soulful ‘Little Bit’ brightens the mood significantly with Danielle’s vocals reassuring “a little bit of love will make it alright”.

In Danielle’s words on ‘Look Around’: “fires were raging through Australia and smoke covered the sky. It felt like all of our human sins had gotten the best of us and we were paying a price. I didn’t know that
when I arrived back home in the U.S, the world would only get darker. I feel like my past self wrote this song for my future self knowing what was to come.” This song would help Danielle through what has been
one of the most painful years to be Black in America.
