40 Winks is an instrumental hip hop duo made up of producers Padmo' and Weedy from Antwerp, Belgium. Meticulously chopping and pasting samples together since 2002, 40 Winks create cinematic atmospheres and vibes which we love here at LDBK radio. 

A couple of weeks ago, 40 Winks released their 5th full length album on Project: Mooncircle, a double LP entitled "It’s The Trip". Check the mix they offered to LDBK to celebrate this release: http://i.mixcloud.com/CYXvi

This track is produced by Weedy.

This track will be part of the LDBK compilation album.
CD & Digital will be available mid-June on laidback.bandcamp.com

Having been played 3 times by Gideon Coe on BBC 6 Music and made an editor's pick at Indie Shuffle, Teacher seems to be many people's top track from the album. There is a strong Brazilian jazz & psychedelic influence along with a Stereolab-esque indie sensibility and even a bit of Isaac Hayes and David Axelrod in the orchestration. It is a thoroughly organic sound with full horn section, string section, drums, bass and guitar all done live.

The speech is edited from a rather tender talk given to students by James Baldwin at a predominantly Black high school in Oakland, California 1963. On the one hand he highlights the function, importance and value of an education and finding self-worth in a white society. On the other hand there is a universal message about education being a two way street – that as students we must ask questions and as teachers we ought to keep our minds open to learning from those we teach.

Teacher

"Rust" finds Manycolors exploring new sonic spaces. The initial groove is a lush and spacious lofi soundscape that surrounds the listener with layers of subtle textures and heavy backbeat. The song builds to culmination with a psychedelic bridge featuring heavy synth pads and swirling guitar interplay in both speakers. An analog rewind drops in to a classic lofi outro with piano improvisation over grooving bass and drums.
