Close Counters would like to thank everyone who helped facilitate the creation of this record, from the many studios or make-shift recording spaces where these songs were written, produced and mixed, to the supportive friends, family and community. We’re ever grateful.

Management by Rick Bridgman for Good Intent

This record was made predominantly on stolen land belonging to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation and the Gadigal people of the Eora nation. We wish to pay our respects to the elders past present and emerging and note that sovereignty was never ceded.

CLOSE TO ME

The second single from our debut album ‘A Deeper Life’ is out today on all streaming platforms. I Wanna Tell Somebody features the brilliant and unmistakable vocals of Josh Milan (celebrated for his work with the famed house production outfit Blaze). The Bossa-infused track was crafted and brought to life with the help of our friends Alex, Immanuel and Cenk—before Josh transformed it into a heartfelt love song ❤️

It’s become one of our personal favourites from the album and we hope you love it too! 🫶🏻🐶

I Wanna Tell Somebody

Taken from Solina, Promised Me Love is the second single to come from the album and is an amazing showcase for the collaborative and synergistic ethos it comes from as well as the trio of Allysha Joy, Hidden Spheres and Finn Rees who created this originative music.

Promised Me Love is a song that encapsulates the emotions of falling for someone; of how it feels like chasing the wind as you dance together, the need to know that they feel the same as you, the feeling that distance can seem wider, about how you need them to be thinking about you as much as you do about them, about the need for the promise of love even when they cannot make that promise.

The trio of Joy Spheres Rees are all established artists in their own right, with solo and collective credits over the past decade . Firstly as part of the burgeoning and increasingly important scenes in Melbourne/Naarma, Brisbane and Sydney and as global artists with releases on hugely influential labels. Many will know of their work with 30/70 Collective and Close Encounters, amongst others, and many will have experienced their musical creativity on festival line-ups including Gilles Peterson's We Out Here.

Promised Me Love comes out on BBE Music as a digital release and is taken from the album Solina.

Reach Into Your Soul

Silky, Buttery, Smooth

ALL IN (feat. Rimarkable)

Ain’t For Me

I gotta be a man
I gotta be a man
Sure you will understand

Reign over my land
Uncage my primitive stage
Forget about what I felt
Excess runs through my veins

I gotta be a man
I gotta be a man
The takeback's underway

Provide for my clan, 
first think, then act, 
If you make the first move
You better make it fast

Evolution is based in trust,
that’s where we come from.
Trust, trust, trust,
when our souls are coming to rust

Lying wounded on the ground
wondering about surrender
seems as my life has ended
you’re the only reason I go on, but,

I gotta be a man
I gotta be a man
Sure you will understand

Reign over my land
Uncage my primitive stage
Forget about what I felt
Excess runs through my veins

I gotta be a man
I gotta be a man
The takeback's underway
The takeback's underway
The takeback's underway


The takeback

Observe, from 'midnight in Peckham, by @chaos-in-the-cbd . Order here: http://bit.ly/rs008Bandcamp / download here: : http://smarturl.it/MidnightInPeckham

 Rhythm Section International proudly presents it’s 8th offering from local boys Chaos in the CBD. Born in New Zealand, but based in Peckham for the last few years (literally just around the corner from Henry Wu and Bradley Zero), these brothers have made a real mark on the scene here in London town and with their latest set of productions are set to take this message further afield. 
Having already released internationally on labels such as ClekClekBoom (Paris), Hot Haus (London) and Amadeus (Montreal), the duo’s approach to production has matured immeasurably in the last year, as is evident in the restrained potency and poetic subtlety on the 4 tracks across this accomplished EP, Midnight in Peckham. 
Taking it’s title from the locale the boys have come to know as home, the record channels a delicate late night energy - equally indebted to the hypnotic incantations of Ron Trent as it is to the hazy suburban atmospheres of Burial. These 4 classic cuts pay homage to deep house in it’s truest sense - at once sublime, melancholy and meditative . Chaos in the CBD have clearly taken their cue from the mid-west masters of the genre but have not been afraid to let their own influences and environ creep in, and in doing so have created something that is unmistakablely London and infact, timeless.
