Knock knock , rise and shine
Sun in my eye
Hop in, enjoy the ride 
While it’s easy rolling 
Life is good
Free bird, long skirt
Heads back we laugh
It was fun in the land of the golden

But it got me lookin’ for the rain
I can’t handle it, every day’s the same
I can’t handle it, I can’t handle it
But for now, fuck it
Roll another J, put on your shades
The days are young, there’s no reason to complain

Movin’ back and forth, can’t stay anymore
If you want to follow, I can be the baddest bitch you know

Let’s go to sleep in Cali, wake up in Chicago
I can give you all my heart but I’ll never give you my soul
Cause’ I’m always on the list, with purple painted lips
5’2, black boots, I’ll leave you with a stained kiss

Unexpected encounters, night ends, new friends 
May not know where I’m going but I know where I’ve been 
I’ve been here a hot minute but soon enough I’ve got to dip
Do you catch my drift? Do you catch my drift? 

Movin’ back and forth, can’t stay anymore
If you want to follow, I can be the baddest bitch you know

Over the last three years Pete Josef became something like Sonar Kollektiv's in-house singer by choice. Guest appearances and collaborations on albums by Alex Barck, ComixXx and Paskal & Urban Absolutes established the golden tonsils from Bristol as one of the stellar voices of the Berlin based label. Now his first official solo EP, “Colour”, sees the light of day. Four tracks that display impressively his vocal virtuosity on one hand and his profound songwriting skills on the other hand. The title track “Colour” shifts away from the club orientated productions Josef is normally involved in and shows that his music is domiciled in the emotional, organic pop and blue-eyed soul genre. Just as calm, mature and graceful, “The Travelling Song” swings along and warbles gently out of your speakers. A touch of jazz in-between the Brazilian influenced percussion provides the song with the feeling of an endless summer. That's exactly the sound Sonar Kollektiv is famous for in ages.

The first time Pete Josef caught attention was together with Darren Emerson as The White Lamp. Their club hit “Make It Good” was released in 2012 on Sonar Kollektiv. Now Josef surprises us with his very own, distinctive, acoustic cover version. Far away from the original the song suddenly sounds if it was penned by Mark Ronson or blessed by the Daptones. Even Mayer Hawthorne would be more than happy with a backbeat as merciless funky as this. Finally we are served with a remix of “Colour” by newcomer Glow In The Dark. To pigeonhole it in a music journalistic way is physical impossible. Maybe that's the reason why the A&R department at Sonar Kollektiv will release a full album with Glow In The Dark productions in early 2016. But first we will enjoy this lovely EP in an eternal loop.

Gelka - rasta baby

‘Dirty Hercules’ is the fierce new single from Sydney based future-folk/soul artist Ngaiire (pron. Nighree). The lead offering from her highly anticipated debut album Lamentations (due out June 2013) — an album partly written in an obscure little drinking bar in the suburban outskirts of Tokyo, Japan — ‘Dirty Hercules’ is a commanding entry into the music world; Ngaiire’s peculiar vocal arrangements and rare sense of soul, reminiscent of vocal greats gone by, setting her well apart from other singers. 

The song speaks of the vast aberrations of the darkness, the sex, the lies, the money, the drugs that detract from the reality of our own core conditions. It sheds light on the towering ugliness of our ailing covetous nature, the misinterpretations of strength and the journey of acceptance that no two people can have the same story. 

Featuring friend and future-soul darling ‘Nai Palm’ of Melbourne band Hiatus Kaiyote, ‘Dirty Hercules’ sees Nai add an additional depth that charters bottomless profundities exclusively championed by Questlove, Erykah Badu and Gilles Peterson. Nai’s husky vocals lay further assault to the hard-hitting dub step-esque bridge before rolling into a harmony-thick outro — a Ngaiire trademark and one that constantly challenged even a 48 channel Pro-Tool session come mixing time. 

Co-produced by Ngaiire, Sydney bassist Tim Curnick and Japan based beat maker and pianist, Aaron Choulai, ‘Dirty Hercules’ exemplifies what is to be expected from Lamentations. Showcasing Ngaiire’s great attention to vocal detail and layering as well as her love for musical aesthetics, and Aaron’s distinctive, Japanese-influenced electronic glitch and piano work, Tim’s pop sensibilities and production mastery are at the fore as Curnick balances perfectly the live and electronic components of Ngaiire’s music. Together the three along with Ngaiire’s drummer Ross Ferraro tracked ‘Dirty Hercules’ in Tim’s parent’s beach house in Jervis Bay, mixing it (and the rest of the album) in a Tasmanian mountain studio shack with mixing virtuoso Chris Townend (Portishead, Silverchair, Violent Femmes). 

Standing on the triple j’s 2010 Next Crop list alongside Kimbra, Lanie Lane, and The Jezabels, Ngaiire was born in one of the last great frontiers of the world, Papua New Guinea, migrating to Australia at just 16. Since then she has been building a reputation for herself as one of the country’s most recognisable and dynamic vocalists and performers combined with her love for uniquely flamboyant stage attire. 

Moving to Sydney after a brief stint studying for a Jazz degree at the Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music, Ngaiire embarked on a long period of touring overseas and in Australia with roots collective Blue King Brown, mentor and electronic maestro Paul Mac and gypsy jazz outfit Monsieur Camembert lead by ostentatious front man and Camelot venue owner Yaron Hallis. 

Years later the need to focus on her own pursuits caused Ngaiire to quit the road and settle back in Sydney where she could discover and build herself as an artist. Journeying from folk soul to jazz hop to indie pop to everything in between, Ngaiire has finally settled on an eclectic sonic identity that is uniquely hers and one that can easily transcend universal territories with its electronic soul elements as well as gratify the folk sphere with her great adoration for storytelling and heartfelt laments. 

‘Dirty Hercules’ steps forth from an album bookended by challenges, from Ngaiire’s car accident a day before recording started to the death of her sister upon the album’s completion: it stakes a flag in the ground as Ngaiire’s official arrival. 

‘Ngaiire is anything but a silicone mainstreamer’
Faster Louder

“You can’t help but fall in love with her…It’s really just the beginning for Ngaiire”
Dom Alessio (Triple J)

“A vast and compelling voice”
John Shand (Sydney Morning Herald)

Seriously, if you see Ngaiire on a bill anywhere go out of your way to see her”
Timber and Steel
 
‘When I first heard Ngaiire it was one of those moments when you just go, “that has all the right bits in all the right places”. It was like a soulful massage for my eardrums. Beautiful harmonies, great songs, sass, sincerity and soul to spare.
John Butler
