Cinematic composer Jon Cooper aka Turtle, returns to Reflections with a stunning revisit of Anjunadeep’s Lakou Mizik & Joseph Ray ‘Ogou (Pran Ka Mwen)’ from their collaborative album ‘Leave The Bones’. 

Back in 2021, GRAMMY-winning electronic music producer and artist Joseph Ray teamed up with the multi-generational Haitian band Lakou Mizik to produce an 11-track album, sought to paint a fresh glimpse of an often misrepresented country by encapsulating it’s rich culture, through Vodou chants, chest-pounding Rara dance tunes and contemporary protest songs, conveying the listener to Haiti’s spiritual heart. 

Having stumbled across Lakou at a tiny beach side club in Jakmel when he first arrived in Haiti in 2015, the bands organic power entranced Ray, who saw the possibility of merging his cinematic electronic production style with Lakou’s own traditional dance rhythms. 

NPR World Cafe debuted the first single from the album ‘Ogou (Pran Ka Mwen)’, characterised by vibrant strings, traditional Haitian rhythms and a jubilant chorus. The record is an impassioned plea to the Vodou spirit of Iron and War for protection from the brutality of life’s daily battles - “Ogou, you brought me here, take care of me.”

Glaswegian producer and composer Turtle, first joined the label earlier this year featuring on the seventh instalment of our emerging artist series ‘Reflections 07’ with a meditative lullaby ‘Falls Of Avich’. Followed by his four-track EP ‘Acts Of Union’ an enchanting sonic journey, born from spontaneous improvisation, crafted to evoke a sense of nostalgia. Throughout his evolution and fascination for sound, Jon began moving into a more fluid and experimental sound, and subsequently composed scores for award-winning documentaries by renowned documentary filmmaker Fernando Villena. 

Bringing his signature tones back to the label, Turtle delivers a dark, atmospheric revisit of ‘Ogou (Pran Ka Mwen)’, weaving the Haitian vocal chants through euphoric synths and a haunting bassline.

‘Infinity’ is the third EP in two years from Naarm/Melbourne artist Juno Mamba (real name Vinci Javier), following June’s ‘Freedom’ and 2020’s critically acclaimed ‘Light Echoes’, which gained support from tastemaker DJs including TSHA, RÜFÜS DU SOL and Bob Moses as well as Annie Mac and Sian Eleri at BBC Radio 1.

Out today, Juno Mamba debuts on the London-based electronic label Anjunadeep with ‘Blue Light’. The single is taken from his EP ‘Infinity’, out November 3rd, in partnership with Australian label Soothsayer. 

‘Infinity’ is about the infinite gratitude Vinci has for love and for the women in his life that taught him the meaning of love. A love letter to those who made him the person he is today, with each chapter conveying a formative experience.
 
He details: “I hope this music will encourage people to show love for one another because life is a short journey, and the world can do with some right now. Like with all my music, it’s intended to be contemplative and reflective with the hope of unifying us to celebrate life. For me the memories we create will live beyond our physical life.”
 
Opener and first single ‘Blue Light’ is a slow burning, euphoric dance track dedicated to the feelings tied to youth and first times. “My first experiences going to underage discos was otherworldly,” Vinci explains. “Being surrounded by friends, strangers, lights and loud music was pure joy. There was a moment when someone who I’d been thinking about for days approached me and at that moment, life could not be better. I wanted to capture that youthful and euphoric energy in this song. Sonically I was guided by my beautiful memories of this time. The vocals were written by my friend who was with me that night at the underage disco.”

‘Infinity’ follows this year’s acclaimed ‘Freedom’ EP, which has collected over 700,000 streams and extensive airplay from BBC Radio 1, with lead single ‘Siargao Dreams’ featured as their ‘Chillest Record’. Together, ‘Freedom’ and his 2020 EP ‘Light Echoes’ have drawn praise from Mixmag, Complex UK, The Ransom Note, Our Culture Mag, KALTBLUT and NME, plus adds to electronic tastemaker playlists including Spotify’s Brain Food, Electronic Rising, Friday Cratediggers, and Apple Music’s Chill House, Breaking Dance, and Trance & Progressive. 

A journey about love, the ‘Infinity’ is a sophisticated offering from an artist who continues to push their own boundaries.

Release Date: 19th October 2021

After a whirlwind 2019, which saw Eric Luttrell release his acclaimed debut solo album ‘Into Clouds’ on Anjunadeep, the prolific San Francisco native makes a swift return to the UK imprint with his second LP ‘Lucky Ones’. Kicking off this spring, Eric embarks on his most extensive headline tour to date, with 23 North American shows revealed so far, which includes a performance at the iconic Coachella festival, with more to be announced.
 
First breaking into electronic music as part of the OWSLA-affiliated trio The M Machine, Eric launched his solo project in 2016 with the widely supported ‘Need You’ EP, while Anjunadeep catalog favorites ‘Generate’ EP and Annie Mac’s Hottest Record In The World ‘Intergalactic Plastic’ followed in quick succession. Now with his highly-praised debut album under his belt, which reached #2 on iTunes Dance Album charts in USA and Canada and #8 in the Official UK Dance Album Charts, Luttrell’s unique brand of quirky melodic house and techno has cemented his name as one of the scenes most hotly tipped talents; opening doors to working with Moby, Tycho, Jai Wolf, and Blossoms all of whom commissioned remixes from Eric.
 
Whereas ‘Into Clouds’ examined the transitional periods of life, and was reflective of Eric’s mindset at the time of recording, ‘Lucky Ones’ is a celebration. Anchored in themes of gratitude, the LP is a collection of 11 meticulously crafted cuts which see him draw from a deep pool of personal influences, including the likes of The Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana and The Prodigy, his love for San Francisco and Burning Man, time spent as a student in Berlin, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro,  and even winning the US TV game show, The Price Is Right.
“I am incredibly lucky to have such enthusiastic and amazing support behind this project and this album is dedicated to all of my fans and listeners. I hope the songs on this album make you smile, make you dance and most of all, make you feel all the feels. Enjoy!”
 
‘Lucky Ones’ is available now via Anjunadeep, digitally, on CD and on limited edition 2x12" Vinyl with Luttrell motif die-cut slipcase.
