🔸 Makèz You Move - Part 1

Nothing To Worry About

Makèz have come a long way since they first sneaked into Amsterdam’s studio 80 at the age of 17 to hand over their demos to Dam Swindle. Those demos led to their debut EP ‘Different planets’on Heist in 2019 which gained major support from artists like Seth Troxler and Chez Damier. Quickly after, they signed two records on New York based label Let’s Play House. Fast forward two years, and here we are with their debut album.
 
‘City Of All’ shows a level of sophistication and matureness, effortlessly bridging genres across its thirteen cuts. You can feel the thought that has been put into this record, with tracks blending into each other as Makèz submerge themselves in their concept of accidental encounters, inclusiveness and what it means to live in a city like Amsterdam.  
 
On this album, Makèz bring together all the musical influences they’ve picked up in their life as music fans, clubbers, and art students. The jazz-funk of opening track ‘The Entrance’, feels breezy and casual, like freeform rhythms played in a jazz club soundcheck. Energy oozes from ‘Not So Different’, featuring the smooth vocals of LYMA. There’s a hint of the house-meets-R’n B vibe that made Anderson .Paak the star that he is now. Brilliantly funky, this song shows the talent of Makèz, who cleverly use pop & soul cues to create one of the album’s highlights. 
 
What follows is four cuts ranging from the syncopated Balearic funk of ‘Orbit’, the strings of title track ‘City Of All’, the organ-led, ‘Gonna Getya’ and the downbeat ‘Sonder’. Allysha Joy, as part of Melbourne Hip Hop collective 30/70, features on the deep and jazzy ‘Looking Up’.  If Makèz and Allysha are all looking up, it’s clear they’re seeing the same thing! These kindred spirits perfectly complement each other, the deep bass, warm harmonies and jazzy percussion prove to be a perfect foundation for Allysha’s rhymes.
 
Is it an album all about jazz and soul to listen to at home? Far from it. There are dance floor-oriented tracks, where the distorted filter funk of ‘Roselane’ featuring Fouk, proves to be a highlight along with what is arguably the heaviest cut of the album ‘Bent With Funk’.
 
In an EP context, these house tracks would surely do their work, but they really come to life in this album. No compromise has been made to storytelling and the house tracks all play their part while still standing their ground in a club. 
The expert production and smart arrangement gives this collection its casually funky feel.  On ‘City Of All’ Makèz showcase their remarkable talent for writing an album that goes to so many different places, but most of all, just really feels like home.

Release Text:
Makèz have come a long way since they first sneaked into Amsterdam’s studio 80 at the age of 17 to hand over their demos to Dam Swindle. Those demos led to their debut EP ‘Different planets’ on Heist in 2019 which gained major support from artists like Seth Troxler and Chez Damier. Quickly after, they signed two records on New York based label Let’s Play House. Fast forward two years, and here we are: the release of their debut album “City of all”.

"City of all” shows an admirable level of sophistication and matureness and effortlessly bridges genres across its 13 tracks. You can feel the amount of thought that has been put into this record, with songs happily blending into each other as Makèz submerge themselves in their concept of accidental encounters, inclusiveness and what it means to live in a city like Amsterdam.

On “City of all”, Makèz bring together all the musical influences they’ve picked up in their life as music fans, clubbers and art students. The jazz-funk of opening track “The entrance” feels breezy, casual almost, like the freeform rhythms that are played in a jazz club during soundcheck. That energy also oozes from “Not so different”, which features the smooth vocals of LYMA. There’s a hint of the house-meets-R’n B vibe that made Anderson .Paak the star that he is now. The song is brilliantly funky and shows the songwriting and arrangement talent of Makèz, who cleverly use pop & soul cues to create one of the album’s highlights.

What follows is 4 cuts ranging from the syncopated Balearic funk of “Orbit”, the strings of album title track “City of all”, the organ-led jam “Gonna getya" and the downbeat “Sonder”. Allysha Joy -best known for performing in Melbourne Hip Hop collective 30/70 - is featured on the deep and jazzy cut “Looking up”. If Makèz and Allysha are all looking up, it’s clear they’re seeing the same thing. These kindred spirits perfectly complement each other on this track, where the deep bass, warm harmonies and jazzy percussion prove to be a perfect foundation for Allysha’s rhymes.

Is it an album all about jazz and soulful tracks to listen to at home? Far from that. There’s a nice bit of dance floor-oriented tracks, where the distorted filter funk of “Roselane” featuring Fouk proves to be a highlight along with what is arguably the heaviest cut of the album: “Bent with funk”.

In an EP context, these house tracks would surely do their work, but they really come to life in this album format. No compromise has been made to storytelling and the house tracks all play their part while still standing their ground as powerful club tracks. It’s the expert production and smart arrangement that gives this album its casually funky feel. On “City of all”, Makèz showcase their remarkable talent for writing an album that goes to so many different places, but most of all, just really feels like home.

Enjoy the music,
Maarten & Lars

PREMIERE: Makèz - Not So Different (ft. LYMA) [Heist Recordings]

iTunes here: smarturl.it/MidnightInPeckham

Rhythm Section International proudly presents it’s 8th offering from local boys Chaos In The CBD. Born in New Zealand, but based in Peckham for the last few years (literally just around the corner from Henry Wu and Bradley Zero), these brothers have made a real mark on the scene here in London town and with their latest set of productions are set to take this message further afield. 

Having already released internationally on labels such as ClekClekBoom (Paris), Hot Haus (London) and Amadeus (Montreal), the duo’s approach to production has matured immeasurably in the last year, as is evident in the restrained potency and poetic subtlety on the 4 tracks across this accomplished EP, Midnight in Peckham. 

Taking it’s title from the locale the boys have come to know as home, the record channels a delicate late night energy - equally indebted to the hypnotic incantations of Ron Trent as it is to the hazy suburban atmospheres of Burial. These 4 classic cuts pay homage to deep house in it’s truest sense - at once sublime, melancholy and meditative. Chaos In The CBD have clearly taken their cue from the mid-west masters of the genre but have not been afraid to let their own influences and environs creep in, and in doing so have created something that is unmistakably London and in fact, timeless.

Paul Cut - Le Bal Des Douaniers 
Release date: 24 April 2020
PRE-ORDER LINK: https://orcd.co/lebaldesdouaniers

In 2016, talented artist Paul Cut released his first vinyl with Popcorn Records: the "Basement Jam EP". This album foresaw the rise of the young producer, who has since piled up project on top of project, and record on top of record.
One of the driving forces behind the D.KO label, and a (literal) key player of the Secret Value Orchestra band, Paul has also thrived on collaborations. Whether with Chez Damier, Jef K, Flabaire… They all fall under the spell of the young pianist’s skill, who has become in just a few years one of the leading figures of French house. 
In 2019, Paul joined house legend Larry Heard for his world tour, and multiplied appearances at famed festivals such as Glastonbury, Dimensions, DGTL or Printworks. In 2020 Popcorn Records is turning 10. And to mark the occasion, Paul is coming back to his beloved label to unveilhis first album. 
More than a year of thought and work went into “Le Bal des Douaniers”. An album composed of 10 titles, which all reflectfragments of Paul Cut’s influences.

One of the most exciting new artists on the storied Anjunadeep roster, UK-bred / Cincinnati-based producer Marsh (aka Tom Marshall) soars into autumn with the release of his new album ‘Lailonie.’

The LP is a testament to the healing and spiritual power of music in the face of tragedy, coming together in the wake of the unexpected passing of a beloved family member. 

Written over the past three years, the album is inspired by this and other impactful life experiences, along with some of the beautiful places Tom has visited whilst producing the album.

“Lailonie’, pronounced ‘Lay-lah-knee’, has been a safe place for me to express a multitude of feelings, moments and memories I’ve experienced over the last three years. The album is a series of snapshots taken at different points as I’ve processed moving to a new country, getting married, traveling to different places. I’ve also experienced the pain of loss. We unexpectedly and suddenly had to say goodbye to Maddy’s Mom Carme at the end of 2018. I’ve had to rapidly learn how to love and stand by Maddy as we process this pain. We live in a world with so much going on. I think it’s important to have a safe place where you can go to catch your breath, process life and grow.  Lailonie has been that place for me. I hope it can be that place for you.” 

‘Lailonie’ features collaborations from a wide array of talented artists including organic house music producer Wassu, soulful, jazzy vocalist Leo Wood, UK producer Phenoir, Cincinnati-based vocalist Mariel Beausejour, Austin-based songstress Mimi Page, and progressive house producer Forerunners. 

Marsh’s music has been supported by the likes of Joris Voorn, Kölsch and Rufus Du Sol, along with Pete Tong, Danny Howard and Phil Taggart at BBC Radio 1. On the live side, Marsh has performed at esteemed venues on both sides of the Atlantic, including Printworks London and The Brooklyn Mirage.  
With ‘Lailonie’ Marsh continues to tell his story of healing and inner peace through his enchantingly deep and progressive sound, and looks set to follow in the footsteps of fellow Anjunadeep alumni such as Lane 8, Yotto and Ben Böhmer on his rise to the top of the dance music world. 

‘Lailonie’ is out now on Anjunadeep.
