He’s one of the creators of trip hop. He collaborated with Soul II Soul on their epochal Club Classics Vol 1. He’s written songs with Björk. He’s produced U2. He’s played bonkers sets of boshing techno. He’s remixed everyone from Placebo to Annie Lennox.
And now, Howie B is back with his first studio album in over 5 years and the first on his new label, HB Recordings.

Howie B is one of the true polymaths of modern music. From working with Soul II Soul on their seminal Club Classics Vol. 1 to being a lynchpin of the trip-hop scene in the 1990s, to writing songs for Björk, to producing for U2, to remixing Placebo and Annie Lennox, his musical oeuvre is rarely paralleled in its diversity and significance. Through his label Pussyfoot, his series of artist albums with Polydor under his own name (plus others as Skylab and various aliases) he built up his own reputation as a formidable artist in tandem with his growing prowess as a production genius across the ‘90s and 2000s.

His output has grown ever more diverse in scope in recent years, with projects including creating a score for a show at the Milan Planetarium, working as creative director for Italian fashion house Fornarina, writing a soundtrack for a Chinese feature film, fronting an alt-rock group called Beautiful and working with fabric musical director and resident (and long-time friend) Craig Richards on an artist album. Never the one to rest on his laurels or allow creative juices to fester inside, his mesmerising seventh artist album, Down With The Dawn, is finally here – some 25 years after he first started working in the music industry.

This warped ride through the mind of the Scottish talent veers from the often conceptual approach of his other albums to instead create an assemblage of the multifarious musical trajectories that he frequents. Free from any shackles of working with and molding another artist’s sounds, Howie allows himself total musical freedom on this record - and the results are wildly varied and captivating. “It’s basically me using all the experience I’ve got and all the different things that have happened to me and expressing all of that” he explains. “It’s an extended diary. Normally, my records have been one style, but this is more schizophrenic than that. I’ve done that because that’s where I’m at.” This album is also his most collaborative effort to date, with the likes of Gavin Friday (Virgin Prunes) and Joe Hirst (producer of everyone from Bloc Party to Roll Deep) working alongside him.

The futuristic bombast of Frankie’s City kicks the album into life, the lolloping ambient acid of Run Always harking back to some of his most slumberous past works thereafter. There’s the self-explanatory quirk of Kazoo, the mellifluous warmth of the title track, and the hypnotic introspection of Can I Close My Eyes. The whirling synths and lo-fi glitch of Ganzi are clinically juxtaposed by the hushed chimes and barely-there beat of Heaven, the yearning synth-strings of Authentication an unexpected piece of intense emotion following in their wake. Master Inch Mile Haunch comes laden with brooding, dark tones, Night Nice brings some hazy electronic dub to the table, and Summers Flower brings the album to a close with the album’s only vocal performance – a fittingly haunting one to fit with the track’s ghost-of-trip-hop aesthetic.

Down With The Dawn is a quietly thrilling album, providing a refreshing antidote to the overly-processed and predictable sounds of today – and one that will speak volumes to both lovers of Howie’s back catalogue and curious new audiences alike.

From "Consonance" on Alpha Pup Records: https://Elusive.lnk.to/Consonance

"The idea to run two EP's this year was to give people a batch of records that retains a connection while containing different styles and approaches. I find it’s more fun simultaneously stepping between projects and letting my mind go somewhere else musically, with each body of work inspired by the other. - Elusive

Elusive's Consonance EP is the latest body of work from the Los Angeles keyboardist and producer, bookending the Dissonance EP released earlier this year for more fusions into electronic, jazz, and IDM. Scheduled for release in early September with Alpha Pup Records, Consonance sets the scales for the new direction Elusive has paved since the full-length albums Textures (2016), Headspace (2016), and Fusion Swing (2017). Elusive has become one of the most active entities within the LA beat scene, placing considerable energy into the advancement of the cities forward thinking scope of sound.

Consonance was solely derived from Elusive over the course of a few lengthy sessions, putting together every sound, texture, and rhythm on the 22 minute ride. Playing through various chord configurations and lacing every track with an abundance of overtones and rhythms, Consonance breaks the mold of most electronic albums in the 2010s. 4/4, 6/8, and 7/8 time signatures are abound, unique breakdowns split tracks from melding hot to soothing cool, and a progression of changes gives every moment a new window of identity. Heady music that derives from a plethora of influences and sonic palettes.

Along with working on the next full-length for Alpha Pup Records and the lo-fi beat work found through his albums on Dome of Doom, Elusive is gearing up for his first tour of Europe and the UK. He will present his more jazz inflected work, accompanied live with trumpet by his brother and frequent collaborator Josh Koslow.

Consonance is out worldwide on digital platforms, September 7th, adding another vital entry into Elusive's advancement as a unique voice and multi-instrumentalist from the LA region.

Astro Nautico’s Atlantics X is a compilation celebrating a decade of the label’s existence and fundraising to provide financial assistance for its community members impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

A wide range of beloved artists return to the label, including Photay, Time Wharp, Honey Oat, Michael Beharie, Lee Clarke, IGBO, Tatiana Heuman, Persona La Ave & Baraka, Andre Wiken, Basile3, and C. Form. Label co-founders Paul Jones (P X A), Sam O.B., and Kuhn all contribute new music in the tradition of the original Atlantics Vol. 1-3 compilations (’09-’13).

Astro Nautico’s first all-label compilation since 2013’s Atlantics Vol. 3, Atlantics X serves as an index of the artistic and curatorial development of a ten-year exploration of the interstices of genres, moods, and modes of musical creation.

From Photay’s chirping, thunderous dark mechanics on ‘Sea Urchin’ to Time Wharp’s feather light synth meditation ‘12-31-12,’ dynamic curves traverse a terrain of many sounds at many plateaus. Pop experimentalism in Michael Beharie, IGBO, and Sam O.B. sets a heartbeat that cracks, melts, and is resampled in the shattered electronics of Tatiana Heuman and fragmentary lo-fi trap of Kuhn, while Andre Wiken and C. Form differently treat the dancefloor as a space of reverie and intrigue.

Atlantics X is a crowning jewel of the mutual aid fund and fundraising campaign of the same name. Astro Nautico initiated this fundraiser in spring in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. All sales and streams of the Atlantics X compilation support members of the label's community with financial needs due to Covid-19. Since May, the label has published 12 projects, from singles and EPs to albums and contemplative dance videos, in this series. Astro Nautico has distributed $4,262.65 to date to fund recipients, with priority to BIPOC recipients.

More information and donation links for the Atlantics X mutual aid fund are available on GoFundMe: www.gofundme.com/f/atlanticsx
