Jordan Rakei - Late Night Tales
Album released 9th April 2021
2LP / CD / DIGITAL
Stream/buy: https://orcd.co/latenighttalesjordanrakei

Late Night Tales celebrate their 20th anniversary with the release of multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and producer Jordan Rakei’s majestic compilation. The 28-year-old modern soul icon effortlessly stamps his own jazz and hip-hop driven sound all over this gorgeous array of handpicked tracks. A beautifully layered blend that is mirrored in the music he’s made, it comes as no surprise that such a supremely gifted songwriter should deliver a mix that is all about the song.

Rakei, born in New Zealand, but raised in Australia, moved to the UK in 2015; he released his debut album, Cloak, with Oz label Soul Has No Tempo, but his two subsequent LPs, Wallflower and Origin, came out on Ninja Tune, the former #2 in Album Of The Year for Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide poll, while Origin was nominated for Best Album at the AIM Awards. Jordan had this to say on his upcoming mix:

“I wanted to try and showcase as many people as I knew on this mix. My idea of Late Night Tales was to distil a series of relaxing moments; the whole conceptual sonic of relaxation. So, I was trying to think of all the collaborators and friends that I knew, who’d recorded stuff with this horizontal vibe. Plus, I was also trying to help my friends' stuff get into the world. I know the story of Khruangbin blowing up after appearing on the series (in fact, I think that's how I discovered them). So, the main idea was to create a certain atmosphere, but also to help some of my favourite collaborators and buddies to give their songs a little push out into the world. Hope you like it” Jordan Rakei

What We Call Life

Wings

A Place - EP

Wait for You

Zabiť Františka - December 1950

“A place between the two of us, the people who are listening, the people who contributed, and the people who inspired us...” 
Finally, almost three years after the well-received Orange Wine EP, and three international tours, Okvsho is back with their fourth project “A place between us”. Georg and Christoph Kiss, the two brothers behind Okvsho, are showcasing a project that is more intimate and bolder than ever, offering an insight into their thoughts, feelings, and experiences during the last two years. The unique style Okvsho has become known for in recent years has once again evolved, combining organic and electronic elements with beautiful harmonies and expressive rhythms. 
Okvsho's second LP will also be the first full-length project to be released on the newly founded Zurich-based label Current Moves, with which the Okvsho-brothers aim to shape the young European jazz scene they are inspired by and also an established part of. 
“A place between us is the first step into a new era for us – We’re very grateful for the love and support we received during the past six years and we’ll continue to strive for the better. Thanks for becoming part of our journey.”

Okvsho - Where I'm made of (ft. TRVANIA)

Flou

This song speaks into numbness: The quiet danger of spiritual and emotional indifference. When compassion fades and routine replaces connection, this song is a cry for awakening. It’s about asking God to reignite the fire that once burned for truth, justice, and love.

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Scrolling through another cry for help
I used to cry, now I just speed
Too much pain, too much noise
So I silence every voice

(Chorus)
Wake my heart, let it break
If that’s what it’s gonna take
Shake me out of this sleep
Where love forgets to weep

Wake my heart, let me burn
For the things You call concern
Bring me back to care again
To where compassion begins
(wake my heart… wake me up…)

(Verse 2)
Numbness isn’t peace, it’s frost
A comfort with too heavy a cost
I don’t want to look away
From the hurt You faced each day

(Chorus)
Wake my heart, let it break
If that’s what it’s gonna take
Shake me out of this sleep
Where love forgets to weep

Wake my heart, let me burn
For the things You call concern
Bring me back to care again
To where compassion begins
(wake my heart… wake me up…)

(Bridge)
It’s not too late to change
Even ashes can ignite
Breathe into this quiet ache
And teach my soul to break
For what breaks Yours
(breaks Yours… breaks Yours…)

(Chorus)
Wake my heart, let me burn
For the things You call concern
Bring me back to care again
To where compassion begins
(wake my heart…)

Wake My Heart

Verse 1:
歩き続ける 夜の街で (Aruki tsuzukeru yoru no machi de)
But all I feel is what we lost that day.
Chorus:
(Back: Why did you go? なぜ消えたの…？) (Naze kieta no…?)
Oh, why did you leave me here alone?
この痛みは 消えないまま (Kono itami wa kienai mama)
I wish that time could rewind and atone,
でも運命は 戻せない (Demo unmei wa modosenai)
The sky is dark without your light.
手を伸ばして でも届かない (Te wo nobashite demo todokanai)
I chase the past, but you’re out of sight.
Pre-Chorus:
(Back: Still waiting… まだ待ってる) (Mada matteru…)
I count the days, I count the nights,
時が戻ることはない (Toki ga modoru koto wa nai)
Chorus:
(Back: Why did you go? なぜ消えたの…？) (Naze kieta no…?)
Oh, why did you leave me here alone?
この痛みは 消えないまま (Kono itami wa kienai mama)
I wish that time could rewind and atone,
でも運命は 戻せない (Demo unmei wa modosenai)
Bridge:
(Back: Don’t fade away… 消えないで…) (Kienai de…)
もし空を越えて行けるなら (Moshi sora wo koete ikeru nara)
I’d hold your hand just one last time.
でも君は 夢の中 (Demo kimi wa yume no naka)
A melody lost in the midnight chime.
Final Chorus:
(Back: Why did you go? なぜ消えたの…？) (Naze kieta no…?)
Oh, why did you leave me here alone?
この痛みは 消えないまま (Kono itami wa kienai mama)
I wish that time could rewind and atone,
でも運命は 戻せない (Demo unmei wa modosenai)
I close my eyes, you fade away,
でも心で 生き続ける (Demo kokoro de ikitsuzukeru)
But in my heart, you’ll always stay.)

The debut LP by mildlife soundcloud is finally here!

Narrowing down Mildlife’s style into a genre is almost impossible, as they bond over the desire to push musical boundaries. No strangers to the Melbourne band scene, the four old friends have been drawing crowds through an epic journey at intimate venues and festivals for the best part of the past 4 years. Developing a tight live show bolstered by wild improvisation, the group have left punters itching for their first full length studio album “Phase” that mines jazz, psych and disco for its irresistible groove. 

Capturing the spirit of the band, the 6 track debut LP of kaleidoscope jams is the interplanetary path between jazz, funk and disco with the perfect amalgamation of cosmic electronics and soulful acoustic instrumentation.

The Gloves Don't Bite

Produced by Dan Holloway

Lyrics:

Where were you when I needed you the most,
You were so far but I wanted you close.
Did my wrongs while running in the dark,
on my skin there are a couple scars.

Drowned once but I learned how to swim,
working overtime been shooting in the gym,
Had to do a lot myself,
double edged, you were only giving help

To burning the bridge, now its ended,
all those words please tell me you meant it.
All my niggas said it was a lie,
I just want to turn the page and say goodbye.

Fooled me once, shame on you,
Part of your role was to usher me through.
Candle burning on either sides,
impaired wings able to fly.
Pulling more than all my weight,
need more than denim to compensate.

Drowned once but I learned how to swim
Working overtime been shooting in the gym
Had to do a lot myself
Double edged, you were only giving help

To burning the bridge, now its ended,
All those words please tell me you meant it.
All my niggas said it was a lie,
I just want to turn the page and say goodbye.

Life is now filled with love,
Found some courage I had to pluck.
From the green that founded sin
Gave me some clout from deep within

Moving mountains changed my view,
Something that my bloods supposed to do

Anguish replaced by butterflies,
no more baggage is left inside.
Now I move with style and grace,
As I’ve removed that bitter taste,
Made a good use of the pain now
I’ll never be the same.

To burning the bridge, now its ended
All those words please tell me you meant it
All my niggas said it was a lie
I just want to turn the page and say goodbye  (X2)

Say Goodbye
