We are happy to welcome OR aka Olivier Cohen & Roland Vongo to our artist roster. 

The duo began when two young men went through their own personal journey in the world of music, debuting in France in the early 90's. Whilst Olivier was stepping into to the dj scenes and making his marks in the electronic music world, Roland was improving his instrumentalist crafts whether that would be with a guitar piano or percussions - mostly influenced by funk music. 

Highly dedicated and passionate about music, as well as the music industry, they both developed their talents playing at many music events including festivals, clubs, concerts and radio stations alongside great names and artists from the electronic music scene. 

In the 2000, a pivotal moment for OR, they moved to London where they got to meet. In the competitive world of London's music they earned the right to perform regular gigs at some the most prestigious London venues. 

Most recently they decided to embark in a new musical journey with "OR" breaking barriers between music genres, in other words they aimed to combine their music knowledge, musical influences and background to form "OR"". Perfectly combining a touch a funk, disco and house music in their musical expression OR music art form will resonate with a wide audience. 

In this single release you will find a nice futuristic downtempo and groove-electro-funk track that holds a breakbeat style. "Le Funk De Demain" appears on the release in two different versions, the original and chill mix.

Over 15 years ago, Canadian producer Afternoons In Stereo, aka Greg Vickers, self-released his debut album Aural Pleasure, a music project steeped in downtempo and house approached from a somewhat jazzier perspective. In good company at the time with artists like Glenn Underground, De Phazz, and The Karminsky Experience, the album announced a bold and brave new artist to the electronic music scene who would come to influence a whole new generation of beatmakers. 

"I had evolved from a drummer and a percussionist to learning how to use these new digital tools to make music," says the artist. "Enabling my computer as a musical instrument was a new and daunting prospect and I am mostly self-taught. Developing a songwriting and compositional skill-set that encompassed my aspirations for instrumental music production also really brought all of my musical vocabulary to the fore." 

Drawing from a deep affection for club music and an enthusiasm for the (then) new subgenre known as downtempo or chillout, Vickers set out to bring a somewhat organic approach to the music that drew from jazz, rare groove, and ambient but with an analog sensibility. "That initial album was me throwing everything into the mix -- a bit of jazz (Esquema da Sophia), a little bossa (On The Way To Luciaâ€™s), some drum 'n bass (Architexture). I was very influenced by the music coming out of the ESL and Good Looking labels as well as the sort of living-room house aesthetic of the era from labels like OM, Hed Kandy, and Naked Music." As a drummer it would surprise no one that Afternoons In Stereo was heavy on beats and rhythms, but what was perhaps more astonishing was the level of musical exploration that was present, from french pop to balearic underground to dub. With a steady underpinning of instrumental experimentation using traditional brass, upright bass, flutes, guitar, and keyboards, the record did nothing if not set the bar high -- as a debut album, and for subsequent Afternoons In Stereo records to come. 

Long out of print and unavailable, Kraak Records is proud to release Aural Pleasure as the first of three re-releases of the first three albums in the Afternoons In Stereo catalog. Featuring two previously unreleased tracks from the original sessions, Driving At Night and Lambretta Rossa, fans will find much to enjoy here. "I am quite excited that these songs are seeing release after so long in the vaults," says Vickers. "They really do take me back to where I was at musically at the time and provide fans a new shade of early Afternoons In Stereo to enjoy!" 

Kraak Records is pleased to present the re-release of Aural Pleasure by Afternoons In Stereo, available (insert Release Date here) on digital, streaming, and special edition CD. Part of the Archival Remastered Series, with new analog audiophile mastering courtesy of Angelos Timewar Stoumpos at Timewarp Mastering.

Timewarp - Back

Catalogue No: KRK148  
Release Date: 01 July, 2022  
Media: Digital & CDR
File Under: Organic House / Afro / Folk   


Its been a while since label boss Angelos Stoumpos aka Timewarp has made an appearance on Kraak Records… so with no further delay we are happy to announce his new single - Back!

Timewarp is known for his love of combining music styles in his own unique production way. With Back you will travel from Africa to Mediterranean and from there to the deep orient, all set on a happy yet moody, groovy deep and organic electro with a fusion twist. 

Back is a two track ep full of summer vibes and beach moods. Timewarp must have been on a very holiday spirit while composing both tracks, as they are full uplifting, energetic and setting the mood for a dancing evening!

First track is Backafro which is a folksy organic house afro beat! One of Timewarp’s favourite instrument, the Oud, sets the vibe for this track. Amazing back afro vocals with the combination of a kalimba kind of give a samanic vibe that has the setting of an African beach! The second track Tropitech is energetic with an eastern-oriental folk spice. The hang-drum dominates the feeling and sets the mood while Oud appears again with the combination of deep electronica sounds. Special thanks goes to Beatride for the orchestral strings & score-section.
