cant wait for the next drop, this has heart

Astrally project into the weekend with the dream pop edged, Afrofuturistic soul of Kesswa as she twists her hometown, Detroit's rich electronic & soul music heritage into healing vibration infused, meditative new forms.

Name: Areliz Ramos (@arelizramos)
Pronouns: she/her
Location: between Lima- Peru and London-Uk.
 
Influences: My father introduced me to Chick corea, Weather report, Pat metheny and Jaco Pastorius in my early years. While my mother made me connect with ballet and classical music. Later, navigating on my own, I was captivated first by hip/trip hop and later I found that experimental and ambient music really gets me. In my heart there is a very special place for: Boards of Canada, COIL, Beastie boys and Three 6 Mafia.
 
Favorite Quote: Energy is circular so always be kind.
 
Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Do not get lost in the ego on your path, remember that true art comes from the heart if it is pure. That, true beauty, is what makes music transcend. There are already many plastic and fake things in the world, let's do something real again.

Asa Tone is Jakarta-born Melati Malay and New York based Tristan Arp and Kaazi. In January 2018 the trio travelled to Indonesia during Melati’s annual return home, set up a temporary studio in a house nestled in the jungle’s canopy and recorded a series of improvisational pieces together, later edited for brevity. The music incorporates both digital and analogue processing and largely draws upon the groups collective voice, a small selection of instrumentation (Rindik, Moog Sub 37, Infinite Jets, Suling) and their immediate environment. Despite this, they aimed to record a kind of music together that doesn’t seem to come from one specific place, but instead, from everywhere.

The result is an idiosyncratic voyage of equatorial excursions in voice, mallets and synthesis, both transportative and fluid, yet firmly grounded in the earth. Cyclical, randomized patterns grow and blossom during these often delicate and heartfelt renderings, staying with the listener long after both sides fall silent.

Temporary Music LP will be released on January 31 2020 on Leaving Records. It is the group’s debut album.

"At once fine-grained and expansive, Lee’s work combines traditional Chinese music and historical references with wild electronic experimentation" 
7.6 in PITCHFORK 
"Birdy Island is Lee's most organic work" RESIDENT ADVISOR

Swirling layers of OST-style sound design, dreamy choir vocals and traditional Chinese folk combine across eight dynamic and transportive tracks on Birdy Island, the latest album by Beijing-based producer/artist, Howie Lee, due out in April 2021 on Mais Um.

Fresh off the back of several high impact, club-centring album releases on Maloca, SVBKVLT and his influential, Do Hits label, on top of remixes for artists including Lawfawndah, Charlie XCX & Sophie, Lee presents his most organic and expansive project to date.

Written, produced and recorded entirely by Lee at the back end of 2018 (with the exception of the album’s resident four-piece choir made up of rising Beijing artist, Fishdoll, Shanghai singer/producer, Yehaiyahan and West by West, with Lee himself also included), Birdy Island’s almost exclusively acoustic yet broad sound palette threads continuities between ceremonial Taoist music, early Buchla synth experiments, and FWD>> nights at London’s Plastic People.

“This album just came very natural. It was all recorded little by little. Layer upon layer. The approach was to just record. I had all these instruments around me and I just thought, i’m gonna play and keep playing”.

Howie’s latest offering is as enchanting as it is boundlessly imaginative. “I’ve always had this concept in my mind about making an album based around an island”. Loosely based around Lee’s own long-formed concept of a floating Sicilian theme park, co-inhabited by both birds and ancestral spirits, Howie remarks: "Birdy Island to me is a palace in the clouds and the birds are worshipped like Gods. Not like a western God though.” Reminiscent of Hayao Miyazaki’s Laputa (in the 1986 film Castle In The Sky), Lee’s Birdy Island has been built by a Chinese investment company seeking to re-sync our relationship with the spiritual and natural world after years of economic collapse and degradation, and who invite Howie to compose the park’s soundtrack. Inside Birdy Island’s 30-minute gallery of collaged sound, Lee draws on a wide history of traditional pan-Asian music, filtered through his unique lens of contemporary electronic production.

From playful percussion to child-like wonderment, the album title track and first single off Birdy Island combines Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith-esque synths with rattling bells and AI-manipulated birdsong to saintly effect, with Lee’s four-piece choir invoking an almost devotional chant, accompanying Lee's ethereal and bright production.
