Nui Loa

Stefan Ringer aka REKchampa says he makes music that's danceable, intelligent, and soulful, and we couldn't agree more. This 4 track EP of soulful house from the star of Atlanta's underground scene has everything for the discerning DJ (bangers Bounce #3 and Can't Stop) and the home listener (heady deep cuts Feeling It and The Come Down) alike.

Action Figures: "Hangover"

While known for his work in Boston's contemporary indie scene including the legendary Grass is Green and other groups including Supervolcano, Vending Machetes, and the Dirty Dishes (bass + guitar, guitar + keys, bass, and drums, respectively), Boston-born, Roslindale-raised Michael John Thomas III, aka MJTIII, also plays a little-known but important role of maverick engineer and mastering enthusiast - his fingerprints mark countless releases and not-yet-releases within JASS' circles as well as Boston's underground and beyond. Equally comfortable behind the console with one of his bands as with a more electronically-focused work, Thomas applies a mechanical, analog-based, often tape-driven approach to his productions that not only seeps through his own numerous solo electronic productions as MJTIII, but is also extremely appealing to work with as an outside artist. It is this mix of experiences that he brings to Contemporary and Past Events, 41 minutes of vinyl selections ranging from Swiss post-punk, Irish shoegaze, Italian psychedelia, and Iranian garage to Philadelphia soul, with a DJ's ear for contrast and congruency. Solid, driving cuts from the rock canon like Grauzone's Eisbär & the nimble, stretchy punk of My Bloody Valentine's Soft As Snow (But Warm Inside) are placed throughout the mix, with sudden turns and highlights such as Alessandro Alessandroni's Political Congress, a bizarre, modern form of 'active' lounge music. Thomas offers a refreshing look back at styles you may have overlooked and an open-armed invitation to reconsider your listening habits.

Released December 8 2013

Slack Key Hula

D Wahine Tuning. This great old style composition that was recorded and played by George Keoki Davis utilizes simplistic melodic lines and avoids the use of the sixth string to add a unique timbre to the arrangement. Quite unique and memorable from the early period of slack key recordings.

‘Py shows massive promise’ – Q Magazine

After releasing her astounding mixtape ‘Tripping On Wisdom’ which featured collaborations with the likes of George Fitzgerald, Throwing Snow, Breton and Raffertie last year, Py returns with the long-awaited follow up, ‘Polyethers’, produced by Maths Time Joy and released via Champion Records on 30th June.

A song about being so in tune with someone you love you ride the same emotional cycle together through romance and nostalgia via the testing times, ‘Polyethers’ marks the next natural musical step for Py. Showcasing her vocal depth and tone, ‘Polyethers’ is an epic love song, complete with soul-tinged harmonies; both emotionally grand and understated in all its bittersweet subtleties.

Fresh from his groundbreaking Jamie Lidell remix, from Berlin based DJ/ Producer Jimmy Edgar (Warp/!k7/Hotflush) on the flip, Py has effortlessly managed to retain her contemporary electronic sound and clear artistic vision, rooted deep through ‘Tripping On Wisdom’, whilst simultaneously showcasing her impressively versatile, pop-spattered voice.

Since completing a debut headline UK tour late last year as well as support for the likes of Fenech Soler on their the recent sold-out tour, Py has developed a full live show in the past few months.

With support as diverse as Radio 1’s Rob Da Bank, Mixmag, Dazed & Confused, FACT and The Guardian and with further releases to drop on Champion, as well as forthcoming live dates and collaborations with Supreme Cuts through the latter half of 2013, Py is one artist set to stick around for a long time yet. Make sure you also watch out for her Red Bull Introducing session set to drop in late May.

Live Dates
11th July - Electrowerkz supporting MAUSI, London
17th July - Mahogany Blog Live with Glitches @ St. Pancras, London
20 July – Farr Festival, Hertfordshire, UK

Gossamer - Chaino / Ab-Mass (JSD004) [TEASER]

"In the Name of Jesus" is a Hawaiian slack key instrumental of a once popular Christian chorus.  It is played and recorded by me, Stan Aoki.  In the middle of the song, I "depart" from the original song format to improvise on my own.  I hope it will do justice to the original chorus and its original author.
