Supercajky do dílny třebas!

The second instalment of the Groove Gems collection featuring an array of talented artists from my main collectives, @RhythmandReason and @ORPHGANG... 

This project was a great opportunity to showcase some of the amazing talent I have come across since releasing the first instalment of Groove Gems; all of whom I can individually consider as close friends and musical inspirations. Furthermore, Groove Gems II also allowed me to solidify my sound (put a stamp on it if you like) and expose listeners to the musical development/growth I have experienced since the last album. 

A massive thank you to EVERYONE who has supported me so far on my journey! 

Listen, Enjoy & Share (If you like it haha). As Always, Keeping It Soulful :)

Berlin-based, New Zealand-born Noah Slee has enjoyed a remix by Tall Black Guy for his track "Rampant Wild Free" from debut EP, which was released in March.

TBG has taken the banger style track, originally produced by Ben Esser, and put a more laid-back, old-school hip-hop slant on it, removing the synths in favour of subtle, tinkling keys.

Noah Slee - Rampant Wild Free (TBGLove Remix)

After hearing a few bars of a particular arrangement, Eric Roberson was inspired to write. The first words uttered: Mr. Officer, can you spare some change? If they say art imitates life. Then Mr. Officer, by Jeff n Fess, feat. Eric Roberson, is art’s response to life. "Some people march, some people protest; we make music," says DJ Jazzy Jeff of the motivation behind releasing Mr. Officer. Increasing reports of police brutality and deaths of unarmed Black men at the hands of law enforcement led to this musical expression of hurt, anger and frustration. Mr. Officer is produced by The Playlist A-Team, comprised of DJ Jazzy Jeff, Stro Elliot, Daniel Crawford, Steve McKie, Kaidi Tatham and Eric Lau. This ensemble of gifted musicians worked together to create a sound that uncomplicated, yet moving. Lyricists Eric Roberson and Rhymefest shine light this complex and emotional issue with heartfelt simplicity.

<b>Trackliste</b>


Aphroe zu 2x45
"Diese Doppel 7“ ist ein Nachfolger zum Projekt „90“, das MPM und ich im Jahr 2012 herausgebracht haben. Es beinhaltet Re:produktionen einiger der memorabelsten US-Rap-Klassiker der Neunzigerjahre. Re:Produziert wurde sie von hiesigen Produzenten, welche die Kultur und die Kunst des Beatschmiedens seit etlichen Jahren studiert und gelebt haben. Was aus einer euphorischen Bierlaune heraus begann - nämlich einfach mal "Time’s Up“ von OC reimpatterntechnisch ins Deutsche übertragen und beatmäßig aus den original Samplequellen und dem über die Jahre gewonnenen Know-How der Produktionsweisen unserer Vorbilder, möglichst nah ans Original heranzukommen - entwickelte sich mehr und mehr zu einem ernstzunehmendem Projekt auf Albumlänge. Es ging darum innerlich Reset zu drücken und persönlich, theoretisch wieder bei Null anzufangen. Auf eine respektvolle Art wollte ich so Erinnerungen und die damit verbundenen Gefühle einer vergangenen Ära wieder aufleben lassen.
Für mich als MC ging es darum, mit dem Flow und der Intonation, sprich der Delivery der Originalstücke mitzuhalten, ohne sich von der gefühlten Grundstimmung zu weit zu entfernen. Dabei textlich aber eine komplett eigene Geschichte, unter den Vorraussetzungen bereits existierender Reimstrukturen zu schaffen. Also nicht bloß sinngemäß oder inhaltlich platt zu übersetzen, sondern vielmehr dieses Konstrukt mit Hilfe meiner Sprachfertigkeiten unabhängig ins Deutsche zu transformieren und damit Bezug auf meine eigene Historie und Zugehörigkeit zu einer internationalen Bewegung zu nehmen.
Was zählt, ist der Eindruck, dass sowohl „alt“ wie „jung“ diese Hip Hop-Hommage gleichermaßen genießen können.“ APHROE

Ewigwährender Respekt an: Ali Shaheed, Buckshot, DJ Evil Dee, D.I.T.C. (AG, Big L (r.i.p), Diamond D, Lord Finesse, OC), DJ Premier, Donald Byrd (r.i.p), Kool Keith of Ultramagnetic, Nas, Phife, Q-Tip, ....

Out 8th July on limited edition, hand-numbered and signed double 10” vinyl, the “Archipelago Remixes EP” by Hidden Orchestra is a real treat, with reworks from King Britt, DC Breaks, Kelpe and Long Arm providing a fresh spin on tracks from 2012’s hugely acclaimed ‘Archipelago’ album. Highly intricate and beat-heavy, the Hidden Orchestra originals are an adventure playground for any remixer, and the results from this eclectic array of talent are stunning and intriguing in equal measure. 

The DC Breaks Remix of “Vorka” sees the pair of Andy C protégés twisting the ethereal beauty of this track, which originally came out as the second single. Possibly the only drum ‘n’ bass track to feature a hook played on a musical saw? On the flip, King Britt’s Remix of “Vorka” finds the revered DJ and globetrotting musical multi-tasker turning the same original into a slow-burning house cut, with added vocal hooks.

The second 10” opens with Fourth Wall (Kelpe Remix). Slowing the tempo and upping the oddball factor, London based producer Kelpe, whose fans include Huw Stephens (BBC R1) and Tom Ravenscroft (6Music), strips back bandleader Joe Acheson’s dramatically layered composition and rebuilds it with the highly original rhythmic style that has established him as a heavyweight talent. “Reminder” is reworked into a high definition ambient soundscape by Long Arm (Project Mooncircle) whose jazz-influenced style has had major props from the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs and Gilles Peterson.

Since its release in late 2012, the ‘Archipelago’ LP has gained heavy press support including Q, Clash, The Independent, BBC Music, The Scotsman, The Line of Best Fit and Wax Poetics. This mesmerising music has also hooked daytime and specialist radio tastemakers alike, with play from Stuart Maconie, Lauren Laverne, Gilles Peterson, Cerys Matthews, Nemone and Huey Morgan on BBC 6Music; as well as Ally McCrae (BBC R1 Introducing), John Kennedy (XFM), Goldierocks (Selector), Late Junction (BBC R3) and Jamie Cullum (BBC R2).
