PREMIÈRES

London-based keyboardist/producer Dan Nicholls (of Y-OTIS) introduces a new album project ‘Mattering And Meaning’ to be released by We Jazz Records on August 13th. Nicholls' music uses acoustic piano as its key element, transporting the instrument into new territories that sound remarkably natural and organic, whilst displaying a strong kinship with the world of abstract electronic music. The music utilises piano loops and field recordings as its key elements, forming what might be described on the surface as a fascinating ambient jazz record – but at the same time there's so much more at play here on deeper levels. Dan's music sounds at once otherworldly and immensely inviting.

With its uncanny landscape of fine sand drifts, juniper fields and pine, the ancient Beerze forest in the North-East of the Netherlands is a site of many unusual convergences of human and other than human stories. 'Papa' continues to unravel the threads of a deep artistic collaboration and kinship between pianist and producer Dan Nicholls and the Dutch filmmaker and anthropologist Louise Boer. These fuzzily collaged images and sounds represent a common love for finding the in-between places in which ideas can find deeper roots, channeled here through a dreamlike world which holds within it the location in which Louise’s father, Henk Boer, found his final resting place.

PREMIÈRE : Drake & Playboi Carti - Pain 1993 (Jus Jam Remix)

(English)

Following the release of her critically-acclaimed trilogy “Meditations I-II-III”, FOXTROTT announces a new chapter with “The Motion/Looking For Your Love”. The pair of songs is the first of a new series of independently-released diptychs to be rolled out over the course of the year. FOXTROTT throws away the rulebook and wants to take us along on her journey. “I love the short form of the diptych in music, where one piece resonates with the other, in a dialogue. It’s a mini-universe of its own. After a few years navigating the music industry with its ups and downs, I wanted to reconnect with spontaneity, ease and the joy of sharing music. By moving away from more rigid structures, I feel a renewed enthusiasm. Honestly, I feel like I am just getting started.” The two pieces are entirely written, interpreted and produced by FOXTROTT, with contributions by OURI on cello and harp.

FOXTROTT amorce un nouveau chapitre avec « The Motion/Looking For Your Love », faisant suite à sa trilogie « Meditations I-II-III », encensée par la critique. Cette paire de pièces musicales constitue la première d’une nouvelle série de diptyques qui sera présentée au cours de l’année. FOXTROTT fait fi des règles et nous invite à la suivre dans ce nouveau périple. « J’aime la forme courte du diptyque en musique, où une pièce résonne avec l’autre dans une sorte de dialogue. Ce sont des mini-univers en soi. Après quelques années à me frayer un chemin dans l’industrie de la musique avec ses joies et ses problèmes, je ressentais le besoin de me reconnecter avec la spontanéité, la légèreté de la forme et avec la joie de partager la musique. En m’éloignant des structures plus rigides, j’éprouve un enthousiasme renouvelé. J’ai l’impression que je ne fais que commencer. » Ces deux pièces sont entièrement composées, interprétées et produites par FOXTROTT, avec une contribution de l’artiste OURI au violoncelle et à la harpe.

Invisible City Editions reissues a selection of classic street soul tunes from the legendary duo Soul Connection (Toyin Agbetu and Earl Myers). A mix of well-loved tracks from Soul Connection's 1988 "Rough & Ready" and 1990 "Raw Street Soul", remastered from the original master reels. This one has been a long time in the making and we are really excited to finally put it out!

You’d be hard-pressed to find a more central figure to the story of ’80s UK Street Soul than Toyin Agbetu. A former computer programming prodigy turned musician/artist/producer, Agbetu was one of the principals in the development of a sound that merged the playful romance of soul music with the DIY ethos and raw, drum machine-driven beats of hip-hop and other burgeoning underground movements of the time. With his London-based independent record label, Unyque Artists, and a studio HQ-ed out of his Hackney bedroom, Toyin would embark on a remarkably prolific run as a producer and artist under a myriad of aliases and pseudonyms on associated spin-off labels. 
One such project was Soul Connection – a collaboration with friend and fellow indie label head Earl Myers that, despite its low-key bordering on phantom profile, yielded two albums, Rough and Ready (1988) and Raw Street Soul (1990) released on UA affiliate Intrigue Records. Though both LPs were well received upon initial release, the years since have only increased their stature amongst fans of elusive grooves. As evidenced by the six beloved tracks collected on Invisible City Editions’ Street Soul EP, Soul Connection’s addictively simple hooks, punchy mid-tempo rhythms, and forays into breakbeat and house remain as easy to appreciate as ever.

Includes 8-page booklet with an interview from Jeff “Chairman” Mao.

Soul Connection - Change / Love (ICE 016)

Sortie en "premiere" du morceau introductif du prochain album de @rootszombie, à paraître en avril sur le label bordelais @soundrising-records : "Critical".

Sur ce titre éponyme de l'album, "Critical", le producteur bordelais pose d'entrée de jeu la couleur à coup de gros breaks, qui donne bien la tonalité générale de l'album. Voix, rythmiques et sonorités s'y mêlent impeccablement. Les parties breakées sont particulièrement bien amenées et rappellent bien les inspirations anglaises de Roots Zombie qui regarde bel et bien vers l'Outre-Manche sur cet album et ce morceau qui ravira les adeptes de basses fréquences.
