“Truth be told I’ve wanted to work with the Late Night Tales crew from the get-go. We’re talking nearly two decades such was the allure of their musical aesthetic typified by curators like Nightmares on Wax, The Flaming Lips, MGMT, Trentemoller, Khruangbin and countless others. Now being as old as rock n’ roll (born in ‘56) and having nearly 20 years of Culture Clash Radio under my belt I figured I was tooled up to musically juggle with the best of ‘em. But I wanted to carve out a space that was distinctly my own - something that reflected my musical journey and the culture clash that’s made me the man I am today.”
- Don Letts, July 2021

Gaudi Meets The Rebel Dread ft. Emily Capell - E=MC2 (Late Night Tales presents Version Excursion)

Mantra is the new single from Surf Coast multi instrumentalist Immy Owusu and his first with Melbourne label Hopestreet Recordings. Mantra is a dreamy slice of Immy’s ‘Afrodelik’ approach to music, a sound that spans psychedelic rock, funk and West African roots.

Immanuel Kwabena Dreesens-Owusu grew up in two worlds: the sea bleached lifestyle of Torquay and the Surf Coast with its rock n roll soundtrack, and the musical heritage of his Ghanaian / Dutch family. Immy’s father Kojo is one of Australia’s best regarded West African musicians and his grandfather Koo Nimo is a legend of Ghanaian Highlife and Palm Wine music active since the 1960s. From them Immy learned Ashanti music and its instruments, added a fuzz pedal and began to experiment. 

Immy spent much of the pandemic living in his caravan in the bush near Bells Beach where he wrote Mantra, letting the Australian landscape and the African rhythms percolate to create a dreamy track with unstoppable momentum. Raw and rhythmic bass and drums at the forefront, Mantra opens with a roughly picked guitar hook. Echo vocals come from all around, spooky but not ominous, telling us to face our fears and give them up to a higher power. ‘When you worry, when you’re feeling down. All your darkness, give it all to me. This is my mantra’. The track builds with layered synthesizers and pads drawing you into an unfamiliar world. 

Of Mantra, Immy says ‘My family always said as a kid that when I was worried about something that I could give these negative feelings up to the Angels, The Great Mother, Jesus, God or the Universe, depending on which family member I was asking.’

Pingipung proudly presents the predecessor to "Uzun Havalar" from 2017, newly assembled and mixed by the artist, remastered and also available on vinyl for the first time. Release date: 9th June.

Hatıralar was Anadol's second album, originally composed between Berlin and Istanbul around 2012 and released years later only in digital form on the Ankara based label Inverted Spectrum. The title Hatıralar ("Memories") turns out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Anadol recalled and revisited the music in 2023, gently editing and mixing the compositions for the newly mastered LP format in which they now see the light of day. Hatıralar represents an early version of the melodic, instrumental synth-pop that Anadol refined on her album Uzun Havalar (2019) before exploring the more free, krautrock-inspired musique concrète of her last album Felicita (2021). Here is the text that accompanied the original 2017 release:

Anadol, named after an old-fashioned Turkish automobile brand, is an instrumental synth-pop project by Gözen Atila, an artist, dj and keyboard player. She records with mini organs manufactured during the 70s and 80s, the built-in rhythms and arpeggios of these machines provide the backbone of her sound, and her melodies are influenced by pop music and soundtracks from France, Italy and Turkey from the same period. The music is awash with allusions to the moods of old Turkish and European cinema, from the erotic to the melodramatic, and with a reminiscence of the sound and spirit of so-called "tavern music" popular in Turkey's urban nightlife in the 1980s, a flexible pop style usually performed by a solo keyboardist-singer. Anadol is a continuation of the tradition of lone synth experimentalists like Bruce Haack and The Space Lady with their childlike curiosity for electronic sounds, and of the keyboardists pushing the boundaries of minimal equipment to entertain middle aged drunk couples in pubs and wedding parties of Istanbul.

‘Cartão Postal’ (‘Postcard’), a Portuguese-language track from The Souljazz Orchestra's new album <i>Solidarity</i>, is a mix of semba and samba styles. The lyrics poke gentle fun at touristy beach resorts, while subtly alluding to the contrast with the relative poverty that often surrounds these areas.
