Over the past year, speculation has surged beyond business media to emerge as a broad-spectrum cultural theme — think Gamestop, Robinhood, tokenized communities, the rise of NFT art. Reflecting on this phenomenon, NM speaks with the gonzo art world/ art market reporter behind @jerrygogosian, artist HILDE LYNN HELPHENSTEIN as well as MATTHEW CAPASSO, formerly of Christies and now director of Fairchain, a company working to secure artists’ rights to secondary sale residuals. On this ep, Hilde and Matthew pull back the veil on 2021’s art market mechanics, from the clout battles of WhatsApp collector circles to the newly NFT-centric OG auction houses. Along the way, we discuss the what and why of art valuation today; new models for gallery/artist relations, the new “now” vs “contemporary” split; and the vicissitudes of love, lust, taste, and power that propel life in this realm.

Prince - The Future (Erick Decks Tribute Rework) [FREE DOWNLOAD]

Prince was one of my all time favorite artist. Erotic City was among one of my first 12" singles when I was a kid. So with the passing of this musical legend I figured I would pay tribute with my own remix of this dance classic with a West Coast Nu Disco twist. #RIPPrince

Voltaire Records and Hobo Camp have been on our radar for a while and we're delighted to premiere a track off the latter's newest delivery, a really fresh EP by Roche aka Ben Winans. A2 "Sity To Sky" was produced by Roche using drum machines and analog gear, then edited from the final wav by the label's head honcho Hotthobo himself to "extend the breaks and keep a good momentum throughout the track". This beauty is out this week so don't sleep !

NYC producer DJ Gomi is back with a long-awaited follow up to his debut #1 Dopewax single "Piano Groove." Supported by majors such as Kenny Dope, Todd Terry, Kevin Saunderson, Sandy Rivera, Low Steppa, DJ Spen, Richard Earnshaw and a ton others, Gomi taps into the piano laden loops loved by so many but this time he ups the house disco ante with extra hi hat and Marshall Jefferson-type percussion on "Bad Love." The extra ordinary talents of jazzy saxophonist, Mr. Antonio Hart is called upon once again, who lays down some of the baddest saxy riffs we've ever heard. Yeah, we said it. The truly successful run Gomi has had with his previous single has been on par with some of Dopewax's finest releases, and his rhythmic ride is showing no signs of stopping. 

All tracks produced, written and arranged by DJ Gomi.

Bad Love

Order on Traxsource

DJ Gomi feat. Antonio Hart "Bad Love" (Extended) (Dopewax Records)

“Four More Days” is a quarantine love song, a fond reflection on far-away lovers. Every touring artist knows the trails of love at a distance, and this song considers the lost opportunities for connection while moving at the swift pace of being on the road and the longing that comes with being separated from new loves and the glitz of nightlife in the midst of a global pandemic. The fervent pace of Hua Li’s lyrics combine with breezy, soaring production from Alexander Thibault for this raving ode to love affairs that lie beyond reach.

Yellow Crane EP

Four More Days

Hua Li - Four More Days (prod. Gloze)

Hua Li’s project has often worked the fruitful tension between opposing forces, whether being mixed-race, bisexual, or overtly political and softly vulnerable. Now the “half-Chinese, half-militant, half-rapper of your heart” is back with ripe fruit falls but not in your mouth, her most ambitious and personal record to date. Playing between hazy R&B, hip-hop, jazz and electronic, Hua Li’s sophomore LP takes the imaginary garden as a proxy for cultivating home. With complex vocal arrangements, lush production by Alex Thibault (aka Gloze), and big, vibrant mixing by TNGHT’s Lunice, ripe fruit is a private confessional on a loud-ass record. 

Following 2019’s Dynasty and 2020’s critically acclaimed Yellow Crane EP, ripe fruit is characteristically libertine. Textured and sensual, the Montreal multi hyphenate balances her rich, waveforming tone with danceable, electronic signatures. The rapper is fierce and frequently funny, erupting from gauzy runs to deliver a quick uppercut that stings. With hooky, addictive features by Ambrose Getz and Darkus Millon, ripe fruit is an intimate record of healing, with Montreal’s nightlife at its heart.

An artful collaborator, Hua Li co-wrote and performed on Gayance's 2023 Polaris short-listed album, Masquerade, and is the touring DJ for Inuk electro-pop throat singer, Riit. Her charismatic stage show has taken her around the world, including tours with Cadence Weapon and Fat Tony (serving as the former’s touring DJ), to Reykjavik’s Secret Solstice Festival, the Montreal International Jazz Festival, and Pride Toronto.

Luminous and compelling, Hua Li shows it takes tenderness to let things ripen, and guts to let things die. In-between is a kind of rapture that begs to be savoured. Hua LI is also an active DJ, spinning alt rap favourites and cloudy house cuts. Subversive and sexy, Hua Li is the only half-Chinese, half-militant, half-rapper of your heart.
