Today we are pleased to share some soothing electroacoustic sounds for your hopefully laidback Sunday in the form of “Elsewhere” by Soft Focus. Taken from forthcoming album, ‘Flowers’, released June 26 on vinyl and digital via San-kofa Rhythm Records, the Belgian record label home to leftfield electronics and rhythm.

On ‘Flowers’, this multi-talented producer from Antwerp channels improvised conversations between electronic analog synthesizers and acoustic instruments. Through lush landscapes and over more adventurous paths, it results in sonic excursions in search of the sublime. 

Balancing between electronic and acoustic music, ‘Flowers’ tells a genre-blending introspective story that listens like a life cycle: from morning glory to homecoming. “It is a collection of 14 tracks that shaped over the years and started from improvising while looping”, says the Belgian producer. He defines his new solo project as an improvisational state of mind with no boundaries, stress related situations or technical diﬃculties. “You’ll hear all kinds of instruments and sounds ranging from acoustic to bass guitars, Juno 106 synths and pads, xylophones, Latin grooves, and DIY samples such as finger snaps & tongue clicks.”  

Soft Focus is Toon Janssens, a versatile Antwerp born virtuoso with a PXL degree in music. Over the years he has collaborated with the likes of Up High Collective and made remixes for CJ Bolland amongst others. His production for Baloji ‘L’hiver Indien’ was even featured in the FIFA ’18 video game soundtrack. Under his TITLE moniker he explores beatmaking in various forms: from otherworldly post-dubstep to more up-tempo grooves. 

Toon tells us "I made Elsewhere in my studio in Antwerp, which is basically filled with heavy percussion equipment. I’d recommend listening to it in any relaxing environment: be it a sunny morning yoga session or a rainy evening on the couch watching National Geographic."

San-kofa Rhythms Records is the label by Belgian deejay and music curator DTM Funk. Following the inaugural classic guitar EP ‘Seis Estudios Para Guitarra’ by Susobrino, this is the second output on the label. Inviting musicians to put their root elements at the centre of the contemporary creative process, San-kofa oﬀers a safe platform for various types of artists where the dots between past and present can connect.

Ye Ye - Metropol [Simply Deep Premiere]

CoOp Presents an all-new double-album compilation entitled ‘Plug One’. It features a plethora of
global talent from in & around the world of broken beat and beyond - some already well-established in
the field, some very much on the come-up and some brand new artists, this compilation is an
acknowledgment of a continually evolving sound from the label formed by IG Culture & Alex Phountzi
a few years ago. ‘Plug One’ affirms this electric movement, with a deeply fluid current running
throughout, with tracks ranging from the cosmic psych jazz of LCSM, to the classic UKG tweaks of
Groove Chronicles, to a veritable who’s who of 2020 bruk talent.
Following on from the recent single ‘400 Years’ by Reginald Omas Mamode IV, which had love from
Gilles Peterson (BBC 6 Music), XLR8R, Earmilk and on Spotify’s Butter & State Of Jazz playlists
respectively, we give you another taste of what’s to come.
Single two comes courtesy of NameBrandSound aka CoOp Presents label founders, IG Culture and
Alex Phountzi, inviting in the soulful vocals of Aleisha Lee to join them on the firing ‘Home Demo’.
NameBrandSound produce more of their classic heavyweight bruk, whilst Aleisha’s vocals ensure that
this one is nicely balanced between the rough and the smooth.
The single also includes a remix from upcoming talent Risa T who flips the track in a sweet UKG style &
pattern, and a further collaboration with her & 50% of NameBrandSound, Alex Phountzi on the track
‘Rotations’ (both tracks appearing on this digital single only), a slightly deeper affair with an ethereal
piano hook, and subtle guitar licks & synth stabs - Deep Bruk business! Risa T is a Tokyo-born,
London-based producer, who nurtured her music roots through years of classical training from a young
age. In recent times, she has released tracks & remixes for Da Lata, Summer Dance Forever and now
CoOp Presents.
‘Home Demo’ is released on October 16th digitally whilst the album compilation ‘Plug One’ is out on
double vinyl album & digital on November 13th.

“Thoughts Grim” haunts the dancefloor with undead garage mutations. An emotive dialogue between distant voices speaks of the apprehension often felt whilst pursuing love, mirrored by an expressive journey of ups and downs in sound.

Thoughts Grim

maybe i can take you there
to a place no one knows
close your eyes and don’t be scared
’til it’s time to go
you won’t even hear these words
make ‘em rain to the dirt
if i remain it’ll hurt

petty paws patter on a page
hesitate to waste more time 
in a day 
or a weak
-ness plays on his
speechless ways
those lips stay
never break
stay waitin’
patience made the best of vacant spaces
but the truth is blatant
so put some weight in

Thoughts Grim
