Been combining musical ideas on and off since the summer and excited to present my first official EP, 'Noir'. Keeping it simple and in line with my passion for soulful sounds yet hard-hitting percussion, I wanted to deliver this project with a kiss of R&B chops while maintaining a danceable feel. 

As a special added bonus, http://soundcloud.com/midnightabjo and http://soundcloud.com/M31RK have flipped the wavy "Bounce" track in totally unique ways that give the track new life 2x!

CICADA’S WALK LYRICS



The cicada’s walk is not a dance


Just like casual talk is not romance.

Conceding isn’t giving up

It’s admitting that you’re not enough.

When you turn your back

You’re losing face.

But when you’re coming back 

You’re in the same old place.



When I interrupt

erupts a fight.

Can I call you back 

And give a good goodnight?


There’s a paper dream

Out in the rain.

Look there’s a drawing board

Let’s start again.





The mystery of being gone

Is the misery of bein alone.

There’s a paper dream out in the rain.

Look! There’s a drawing board 

Let’s start again

Included in the package are tracks from heavy hitters Bilal, Jigmastas, DJ Vadim and Rim Kwaku Obeng, all of whom released albums on BBE during 2015. Remixes from man of the moment Opolopo, Fila Brazilia's Steve Cobby and U.S. techno powerhouse Myles Sergé have been creating underground heat all year long. Emerging into the limelight, super-talented Portland rapper Vursatyl, New Zealand soul- stress Sacha Vee and UK producer Ghostchant have been enjoying incredible support from the international music press. New material from label stalwarts Inkswel, DJ Oil, Mr Bird, Tricky D & Chris Read also made the final cut, not to forgetting our feel- good hit of the summer, Martin L Dumas's 'Attitude, Belief and Determination'.
In 2016 we'll be celebrating 20 years of releasing Real Music For Real People, but in the meantime we'd like to thank you all for your continued support; we really do appreciate it.

RED ALERT PIETER J

"This mix, following on from Instantium Hardphace last year, is the second of a series of what I call 'horizontal slices.' The idea is that there are several long running 'themes' in my work -in other words, groups of pieces across time that partake of some kind of stylistic commonality. So whilst any given group will draw from nearly twenty years of releases, it will have an aesthetic unity that individual albums have often shunned. Of course, it's up to the listener to make sense (or otherwise) of what that aesthetic may be!" - Tom Jenkinson, March 2013

Artist/Musician, Musician/Artist
I've been playing, recording, touring and making music of all kinds for most of my life. I began playing the cello at age 12 studying classical music. I later learned to play guitar which lent itself to playing in an all girl punk band, reggae/ska bands and others. Most of the songs here were recorded between 2004-2014 on my home (laptop) studio. I love having a vast palette of sounds and beats to work with and being able to add acoustic instruments, vocals and other sounds. My influences are very eclectic.
