Musician and producer Nathan Haines drops a series of singles from his highly anticipated 11th studio album NOTES, released 9th August 2024.

Single 01: 'Come Into the Light' features vocalist @La-Coco and beats from @FrankBooker with Nathan playing keys & on production duties. A classic sounding dance track in the tradition of Nathan’s well-loved UK albums from the early 2000s, but with a current sound and production style very much in vogue in 2024.

Single 002: UK-based producer/DJ @Atjazz has delivered a stunning remix, retaining the original vocal with all new music, featuring a flute solo from Nathan recorded exclusively for this remix. Atjazz is one of soulful dance music’s most prolific and respected producers with a worldwide following.

Single 03: 'Belo Dia' - Nathan Haines love letter to Brazilian music.

Nathan Haines - Singles from the album NOTES

‘Belo Dia’ is taken from Nathan Haines’ 11th album Notes, set for release August 9.
https://ffm.to/nathanhaines-notes

‘Belo Dia’ is a love letter to Brazilian music, bringing warm, evocative harmonies, a smooth bassline and infectious energy. The gleaming vocals weave through the rich instrumental layers, celebrating the joyous and carefree spirit of Brazilian culture with Cuica (otherwise known in Brazil as the talking drum). Featuring real strings and drums captured by vintage microphones and gear, the track is a soundscape that evokes sun-drenched beaches and the spirit of sunnier climes.

Rachel Clarke’s vocals form the centrepiece with a vocal melody doubled with Nathan’s flute, whistling and analog synthesisers, with Jonathan Crayford on piano, bass and string arrangement.  Guitarist Leon Stenning (a former member of Nathan’s live band in the UK) co-wrote the song with Nathan several years ago, and it was a song that Nathan worked on while in hospital when he was undergoing several operations for throat cancer. Now fully recovered, Nathan took the original demo and added additional instrumentation with the result being a track that is representative of his deep love and respect for Brazilian music.

Nathan Haines single ‘Just Holdin’ On’ featurs New Zealand-based vocalist / visual artist Eo (Badcrop / The Grow Room), showcasing the varied moods of the new album 'Notes'.

Nathan Haines & producer Phil Asher would often include mid-tempo “listening” tracks to break up the pace of an album. With its slower tempo and chilled hip-hop beats, ‘Just Holdin’ On’ brings Eo’s laid back, soulful vocal delivery to the front, while Haines’ saxophone & flute melodies are dripping in longing and yearning. 

Built around a beautiful chord progression from Michal Martyniuk on Rhodes, Nathan enlisted Marc Mac (4 Hero) to add some Visioneers-era boom bap beats, which laid the foundation for the spoken word delivery of Eo (Ethan King). The result showcases another side of Haines’ composition & production style on this album. 

Notes is Haines’ 11th studio album set for release August 9.

JKriv returns to home base Razor-N-Tape with the Intuition EP, a strong statement of how far his sound has traveled in the 2+ years since his last artist release on the label.

Blueprint, a driving club burner rooted on an unrelenting bass line, builds slowly through conversational synth elements until it opens up into a soulful vocal loop that explodes in a euphoric peak. The title track of the EP is a dubby slow roller that was equal parts inspired by 90s Ryuichi Sakamoto records and modern G-funk. Over its lithe piano, hooky vocoder melodies, and rolling bass, Megatronic delivers a melancholic message of relationship loss and renewal, and coda vocals are added by J himself.

Zone 1, an ode to David Morales’ amazing Red Zone 90s remix catalog, drives hard with insistent analog drums and absolutely filthy bass beneath a pillowy layer of lush and acidic synth elements. Wearing the influence of J’s favorite producer Larry Heard proudly on its sleeve, Paula’s Dance is a symphony of intertwining analog gear, with a mysterious and gorgeous vocal by Mexican singer Pahua.

Completed while JKriv was undergoing treatment for lymphoma in the latter part of 2024, this record is both deeply personal and a triumphant statement of determination under adversity. The beautiful cover artwork by The Myno captures both the vulnerability and focus that defined the period in which J made this music.
