Fragments, the new 19-track LP by nwmi, emerged from an effort by Calgary-based producer Adam Blanchard to soundtrack a cooking web series with what he describes as “scenic beats” primed for chilling out and enjoying good food.

Blanchard, who runs the bass music collective DoYu and normally produces under the alias smol, is a longtime fan of culinary arts and frequently shares his passion with others through educational videos and menu design. Naturally, he began looking for ways to merge this with his passion for electronic music.

“Music to eat to, that was the original concept,” says Blanchard.

This concept initially began as a series of mixtapes of original productions called “music to be nice to” that Blanchard launched on SoundCloud in March 2021 under his smol alias. These productions soon morphed from a side-project into a full-blown foray into the world of beatmaking and the exploration of warmer, more reflective ambiances.

“I’m used to doing so much bass music, so it was nice to try something different and rebrand the whole writing process into a split personality,” says Blanchard.

Taking inspiration from artists like DJ Snake, Kaytranada, and Diplo, Blanchard created a new alias nwmi with the aim of producing tracks that crossed both genre lines and international borders.

The 19 tracks on Fragments are a mosaic of tempos that pay homage to genres like lofi hip-hop, downtempo electronica, house music, and jazz. To create a full-length album with this unique composition Blanchard assembled a vast library of samples, many of which can be linked to rich musical cultures around the globe. There’s the reggae-style vocal samples on “its yu,” the vocal percussion of Brazilian Baile Funk on “seaside funk,” and the dynamic guitars of Flamenco on “flamuego,” just to name a few.

“For the past 28 years I have explored every style, genre and cultural root of the music that floated into my awareness,” says Blanchard.

Fragments is the first full-length LP that Blanchard has released in the course of his decade-long career as a producer. To commemorate this milestone it will also be released on vinyl available through pre-order.

Premiere : Balinsky - Spacey Sleepy Koala (HYPNO002)

New music today from Agile Experiments, true believers of the freedom principle, who live up to their reputation for having the heaviest abstract grooves on "if you believe”. 

Taken from forthcoming album, ‘These Are Time For Mind And Spirit’, which sees the ever-evolving Agile Experiments return with their sharpest record to date, "if you believe" patiently unravels over a uniquely voiced drum groove building toward ecstatic echo walls of layered saxophone bliss. 

The de facto leader of Agile Experiments, and sole constant, is drummer, bassist and producer, Dave De Rose. Whilst incredibly busy recording and self-releasing albums, he also finds time to record and tour with Gnawa fusionists, Electric Jalaba, and has performed alongside the likes of Mulatu Astatke and Róisín Murphy.

According to Dave De Rose, "this title (if you believe) is stolen from a Meshell Ndegeocello lyric "if you believe that your god is better than another man, how will we end all your suffering?"... I'm often thinking about belief, whether in religious or non religious contexts. I made up my own belief over the years. It's not static belief, it's flexible and evolves with me and my understanding of life as I carry on gaining information. It borrows from old faith systems and mixes them with scientific research not belonging to either. Always open. This track is mysterious, it builds in a subtle, constant manner, small details keep bubbling in showing you a bigger picture before it dissipates. You can pay attention or you can just let it sweep over you, just like life and belief in things we don't understand".

De Rose is joined by Jon Scott (of Go Go Penguin) on drums and George Crowley (of Melt Yourself Down) on saxophone and machines. Together they pursue the perfect meeting point between free improvisation, irresistible groove and enveloping sound. 

‘These Are Time For Mind And Spirit’ is Agile Experiments' 11th release in four years. This fertile communal project continues to proliferate without repeating itself due to its creative methodology, receiving support across BBC Radio 6 Music, The Wire, Jazzwise, Worldwide FM and NTS. 

Agile Experiments is a method of creation rather than a band; The setting of a frame of mind that encourages the musicians to unleash their utmost creativity placing no limit on their imagination. This absolute freedom increases the will of the musicians to give their most selfless self, guiding the musical direction of the recordings collectively through original pathways that are beneficial to artist and listener alike.
