The Don issac Ezekiel Combination - Ire (Cottam Re-work)

Out now on Human By Default: lnk.to/HBD015

DakhaBrakha is a quartet from Kyiv, Ukraine, experimenting with Ukrainian folk music since the group's inception in 2004, combining an array of instruments from around the world with powerful and uncompromising vocal performances. For the latest release on their ever-impressive Human By Default imprint, label heads Bedouin rework four tracks from DakhaBrakha’s catalogue, fusing the captivating vocals and instrumentation of the quartet with their pitch-perfect production.

Leading the A-side is their reinterpretation of ‘Salgir Boyu’, with shuffling percussion and organic loops providing the backdrop for stunning elements of the original to shine. The rework of ‘A Doshchuk Nakrapaye’ follows, with DakhaBrakha’s vocals fading in and out of the background as Bedouin’s gentle synthesis and evolving drums carry the track. On the flip, ‘Svyryd’ sees hypnotic drones and bright shakers evolve alongside a rolling bassline before closer ‘Yahudky’ seeks more electronic territories, bringing tense strings and unfurling synths together to see out the release.

Darksidevinyl returns home to MoBlack Records, this time, bringing in French percussionist, Benjy. Together, the Vienna-based DJ/Producer and gifted instrumentalist form a dynamic synergy, letting a spirited ‘Nala’ candidly come to fruition. ‘Nala’ is a majestic sojourn through a spectrum of fiery percussive sounds, permeating beats and vigorous Afro rhythms. Crossing soul-deep with buoyant vocals and subtle electronic undertones, this sultry dancefloor charmer emits lush sound patterns that captivate collectively, from within. A gratifying sonic occurrence that is grounded and visionary, introspective and altruistic, all at once.

Due to public demand we offer three nice edits of our own Dj Dixon taken from his "Temporary Secretary" Mix. He was lucky to get all single parts from the original tracks and with his scientific approach he recreated each tracks completely in a different way. So what is an edit and what is a remix? To get your own opinion on this topic you better check this record out!

Hard-hitting afro-dancehall from Accra to Haarlem via London.

A unique collaboration between Ghanaian MC+ singer K.O.G (Kweku of Ghana) and Dutch producers Umoja.

￼Born in Accra (Ghana) but currently resident in the Northern British ex-industrial city of Sheffield, K.O.G has exploded onto the European scene, slaying shows across Europe with afro-futurist outfit Onipa, afro-funk monster group K.O.G and the Zongo Brigade and as a guest with The Busy Twist, Afriquoi, Nubiyan Twist and Congo Natty.

This is the second in the series of one off collaborations with producers from around the world, following up on ‘Change’ with iZem (Lisbon) on Guts’ Pura Vida label, with forthcoming collaborations with The Busy Twist, Jus Now and more in the pipeline. With great responses to the latest Onipa EP on Wormfood/Mawimbi (September 2018), and many released in the pipeline for 2019 the K.O.G and the Zongo Brigade (Heavenly Sweetness) and guest features on Nubiyan Twist’s album (Strut), 2019 is definitely going to be his year.

Originating from Haarlem in the Netherlands, Dutch duo Umoja have over a decade of experience dishing out warm dusty grooves, unified by an intrinsic appreciation and understanding of world rhythm, the mechanisms of groove and contemporary electronic beats. Any attempt to pin down their sound is only a pipe dream: In the spirit of ‘Umoja’ a Swahili word meaning ‘Unity’, their approach to music is to unify grooves across the seven oceans, one record at a time.

“Kponyole” is a dark, brooding, digi-dancehall banger, with deep subs, hypnotic, rolling bass and sharp percussive undertones. Meaning ‘Be Careful’ in the Ewe language of the Volta region of Eastern Ghana, it warns of the dangers everyone must be careful of, from betrayal by close ones to spiritual pollution. Watch your back. Watch your brother. Watch out for bad spirits. Watch wear you tread. Watch your speakers too, that low end will do them some damage if you are not careful!

“Ayena” is much lighter, a traditional, hi-life style homage to the beauty of the female sex: shake for me, dance for me – with warm, bouncy, almost cartoon-like beats that will make any dancefloor bubble.

The Full EP comes with bonus instrumentals and a special Umoja VIP.

I Need Some Money (Ziggy Phunk Bubble Rework) [AFRICAN BOOGIE]

MIMS is excited to premiere the romantic rhythms and sounds of "Nasnusa" by Sababa 5. A modern take on Mizrahi music sung by Tokyo, Japanese hailing performer, Yurika, that we've just fallen completely in love with.

If you don’t know Sababa 5 yet, you’re definitely missing out on one of the hottest bands on the Tel Aviv music scene.

Following their very popular debut release ‘Crossroad of Love’, Sababa 5 and vocalist Yurika are back on the exclusive Middle Eastern Grooves with their newest double-sided 7” collaboration titled ‘Tokyo Midnight’. The record is a dazzling encounter of cultures, inspired by the funky and exotic melodies of Sababa 5 and the resplendent Japanese words of Yurika.

On the B-side, "Nasnusa", a beautiful guitar solo continues into a captivating rhythm inspired by traditional Mizrahi music. Yurika’s delicate vocals evoke a love story; a couple watches the sunset as the gates to a new world are opening. As "Nasnusa" fades into the light, her lover recalls her beauty and expresses fondness over the wonderful time they spent together.

Sababa 5’s musical style has been influenced by all its members and is in continuous evolution, though always remaining very groove-centric. The sound is mainly based in surf rock and retro funk, especially Arabic folk and funk music from the ‘60s and the ‘70s and artists from that period, such as the legendary Aris San.

Released September 19, digital and 7" vinyl. Pre-order on the link above.

Artist: Kalabrese & KAYYAK
Title: Make No Time / Painting Of Relaxation
Cat.-No.: rump006-1
Releasedate: 6 November 2020
Format: 12" / Download

Tracklisting:
side a: „Make No Time” (10:16)
side b: „Painting Of Relaxation” (15:25)

KAYYAK is part of the Hekaya Collective, based in Zurich. They started organizing parties at Club Zukunft, the Homebase of Kalabrese. Kalabrese became friend and mentor and started supporting the young talent Kayyak. And when he came up with two funky song-scetches Kalabrese was thrilled and the collaboration started. The A-Side „Make No Time“ has a strong afro-like guitar theme and a driven melodic bassline on top the famous rumpel-groove. A positive happy ride. On the B- Side the duo gets deeper and create a fantastic late night jam. The duo sings „Loose your fear and find your partner, make your way to relaxation“ while the groove gets more and more hypnotic, Kalabrese sits on the drums and finds a way of relaxation without losing the focus on the steady beat.
