South London Jazz Rap group Summers Sons excite with an updated and matured sound on their new album Nostalgia. Brothers Turt (rap) and Slim (production) have created a masterful coming-of-age rap album from a 90s baby perspective. Nostalgia is a classic in the making. Over the course of ten songs, Summers Sons reflect on their past, present and future as sons, brothers, husbands, fathers and friends. Accompanied by longtime friend and musical partner C.Tappin, Alt R&B sensation KeepVibesNear and MC/community activist Eerf Evil.

Since signing with Melting Pot Music in 2018, Summers Sons have released two albums plus various EPs, a beat tape and a collabo project with Twit One as Syrup. They are part of The Silhouettes Project (alongside Enny, Kofi Stone, Bel Cobain, Manic MC, Lex Amor and more) and kicked off their own label Lightworks earlier this year.

New single “Minotauro” by Pachakuti & young.vishnu! The duo has established itself as one of the most promising teams on the beat & jazz scene.  Based in Berlin and Hildesheim (with family roots in Colombia & the Netherlands), they are crossing lo-fi beats, jazz, latin and new age music with seemingly effortless ease. 

Pachakuti plays sax, flute, piano, clarinet and harmonium while young.vishnu is handling the production and adding bass, drums & percussion. Signed to Melting Pot Music, the duo has released the full-lenght album „Semilla“ and the 4-track-EP „Cuentos Cortos“ since summer 2020.

Pachakuti & young.vishnu - Minotauro

We are delighted to premiere the soothing and hypnotic sounds of "Manyanet", the second single to be lifted from Venezuelan singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Isaac Sasson's forthcoming 'Canciones de Isaac' album on Olindo Records.

“Manyanet” is a sonic postcard dedicated to the small town of the same name in the Catalan Pyrenees, which inspired Isaac through its landscapes and sounds. It was one of the first songs Isaac wrote and recorded in Barcelona, Spain following his move from Venezuela, and contains a mixture of field recordings captured during his visit, juxtaposed with the sounds of Caracas during a rainy afternoon.

Due for release in January next year, the intimately titled album, ‘Canciones de Isaac’, summons the sounds of the wind, birds, crickets, fallen leaves and the atmosphere of both Caracas by night, and daytime walks through the meadows of the Pyrenees, to create a parallel universe between Isaac’s home country of Venezuela, and his current place of residence in Barcelona, Spain. 

Throughout the LP, Isaac’s gentle voice is accompanied by the traditional bandola llanera, charango and cuatro; various percussion and wind instruments; and carefully arranged strings. The 13 songs on the album develop a narrative built around personal stories that touch upon human emotions, family ties and friendships, to craft a collection of sonic postcards that evoke memories, places, travels and moments spent with loved ones during the musician’s journey between two continents.

"Manyanet" is released on Wenesday, 8th of December on Olindo Records, and will be available on all streaming platforms, or download via Bandcamp, where the album can also be previewed and pre-order on vinyl, CD and/or digital formats, with limited additional merch.

Feel your way into the present moment through a variety of ways. You may prefer to bring your attention to the feeling of your breath, recognizing that it exists within a body but that it is not of this body. Observe that you may feel as though you are above your breath, seated somewhere behind your face and inside your head. Alas, you’ve uncovered your first illusion, for you are not there because you are not you. The you you are experiencing is just a pattern of energy manifesting within consciousness - and therein lies your true essence, consciousness. You are the open space that recognizes your body, your breath, your thoughts. Do not mistake yourself for the flowing stream of thought rushing through the ocean of your mind. Be gentle with yourself, for you will forget. And when you do, remind yourself that you are here in the eternal now. You are within this present moment that is unfolding.

“Unfolding” is the third release from Six Missing on Inner Ocean Records.

TJ Dumser [Six Missing] - synthesizers, guitars, effects, mix + mastering engineer
Zac Colwell - pianos, flutes, voices, additional mix engineer.
 
Recorded and mixed in separate locations over the course of nine consecutive days during the winter. 

The musicians recommend you place headphones on and listen while in a darkened and quiet room, though wherever you most prefer to listen is the best location. Closing your eyes may result in occasional inner mind journeying, this is intentional.

Inner Ocean Records is a platform and collective for emerging artists to release music and visual art. Based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, the label was conceptualized in 2012 as a vehicle for artists to have their music heard and seen, to build a community of passionate people.  We designed the label to be what we would have loved to have as artists ourselves, redefining the rules in an ebb and flow to the changing landscape of music. We have made a conscious commitment to be transparent, adaptable and always for the people.

We are a label for artists, by artists. 

We’ve built the backbone of this label around great sound and feeling; laid back, honest and forever chill. We have released a lot of different sounds; Ambient, Lofi Hip Hop, RnB, Modern Funk, Future Soul and Indie. Since our inception, we have prioritized natural evolution and organic growth in the music – we value the process and accept change.  Expect the unexpected; we want to delightfully surprise you;)
