Beginning life as a 'heady 6/8 time urban jazz odyssey, 'Reunion is a stunning piece of modern, Hi-Tech Jazz that draws influences from Pat Metheny, Timeline, Innerzone Orchestra, and Clyde Stubbelfield's drumming.

While previous Quiet Village material was hewn from a myriad of samples extracted from Edwards' and Martin's notorious digging, 'Reunion' and its follow-ups are drawn from a tight-knit crew of session musicians, including the likes of Jon Hester and Thomas Gandey, adding further depth and feel to the QV sound. Already a firm favourite with Gilles Peterson and Luke Una, the latter of which leaked a clip of the release via his inimitable Instagram presence and called it 'something so fucking beautiful. Tony Allen, Sun Ra meets Carl Craig, Underground Resistance, house, tech, funk, everything rolled into one'.

'Reunion’ is the first single on The Quiet Village, Quiet Village's new imprint. Despite continually producing new music and a slew of remixes, most recently for Running Back and Isle of Jura, the long-term friends and collaborators have been unable to release under their artist name since their LP 'Silent Movie' in 2008. While a few releases under QV and their sometime DJ aliases of Maxxi (Edwards) and Zeus (Martin) have emerged, 'Reunion' is the beginning of a new and re-energised Quiet Village that will see more original material and remixes, DJ and live touring that began in Japan in May and curated compilations of treasures, old and new, in the coming months and years.

Label: ROBOT84 (https://soundcloud.com/robot84)

Format: Vinyl 12inch (no digital release)

On the latest Robot 84 release, producer Scott Ferguson showcases all of the progressive and groove related qualities which have made his records so celebrated and enjoyed across the globe - from the Balearic Isles to the club, and beyond….

Ferguson’s journey in music reads like a glorious mind map of places, spaces and people, with the tale starting off Djing at some of the best nights in Scotland alongside co-owning Defunkt Records in Glasgow. His production career started in early 2000, and after a number of releases under various aliases he released the much celebrated ‘Welcome to the Pleasuredome’ edit in 2013, the first release under the ROBOT 84 name. The vibe of the ROBOT84 name is that of eclectic Balearic-ness, with Ferguson keen to never stick to one particular style, but as a means of constantly evolving and exploring through music production - akin to the sound he looks to evoke whilst Doing. The joy of Ferguson’s music is that constant convergence of sounds and moods, and this has provided listeners with consistent delight as they dive deeper into his soundscapes. This led to him releasing music with a number of top quality labels, including Secret Life, Nervous, Paper, Is It Balearic and Midnight Riot. In 2019, Ferguson founded the ROBOT84 imprint, with a succession of excellent records coming out the door that further enamoured listeners to his music - as varied, distinct and well crafted as ever.

‘Cosmic Accident’ encapsulates all that makes Fergusons discography so varied, with a significant shift into the realms of House and Disco filled to the brim with groove laden rhythms, inspired vocal samples and emotive melodic overtones. The ‘Full Vocal’ version features the echoing words of Martin Luther King Jr laid over a simmering sea of instrumentation, that works from the undertow up through to the highest peak. The opening salvo features a looping synth buzz that gets the track revved up, with the breakdown moments introducing some inspired piano notes, drifting down just for a moment before leaning heavily into the core groove. The halfway mark provides a longer dip into the key swing, as the melodic lines evolve into a delicate weaving of textures and feeling. The ‘Dubbed Out’ version points the focus at the core synth move, with the track taking its time to introduce the delicate instrumentation, which when it hits provides a proper hands in the air moment. A wonderful flip side version for a single release you will be hearing a lot of in the coming months.

So why not take a little trip into the cosmos, with this most groove laden of dance music experiences, and get lots within the synths and tones - its quite the atmosphere to get deep within…..

Dutch-Portuguese label Universo Positivo is a new project from industry mainstay Joseph Salvador, with its eye on electronic music’s soulful side. Salvador was behind the renowned ‘Tomorrow Is Now, Kid!’ parties at Studio 80 and Sugar Factory in Amsterdam and also ran the influential 90s label TINK! Records. Now, he returns with a new label offering a cultured mix of disco, funk and house with plenty of soul, all made on vintage gear. There are few better artists to inaugurate the label than Dutch techno icon Orlando Voorn. He has long been a pillar of the scene and helped form a sonic bond with pioneers in Detroit, releasing on the likes of R&S, Rush Hour and Housewax.  

He again forges bonds with Detroit on this new single, which features the late, great Amp Fiddler. Amp Fiddler was a Motor City icon who taught hip-hop great J Dilla how to use a drum machine, often worked with Moodymann, toured with Parliament, and pioneered his funk sound. Their 'Back to Basic' is a piano-driven house classic with larger-than-life vocals from Amp Fiddler, warm, life-affirming pads, and an irresistible swagger.

First to remix is London's Wade Teo, Club Chi'll Records label founder, a regular on labels like Rekids and Defected and someone with numerous house sounds in his arsenal, whether it’s working solo or with regular production partner and acid house legend Terry Farley. He takes the original deep into the night with a seductive sound perfect for 4 am.  The inimitable Soul Clap are a Boston duo known for their unique e-funk sound, feel-good grooves, and love-fuelled DJ sets. Their first remix is a steamy and bumping cut that oozes cool, and their garage mix brings the swing and more raw percussion for the peak time.

Syrinx Music’s tenth digital EP is the works of Saint-Etienne’s producer dubmentalist. A member of the French bass scene since the late 00s, Olivier Satre patiently built his take on drum&bass, breaks & more making great use of numerous devices & instruments he found in flea markets and secondhand stores. The Journey EP showcases this approach to sound: anchored in contemporary halftime d&b, it derives it towards a more narrative, introspective version, hinting at IDM & 90s electronica. These four tracks may also been seen as a story of the dubmentalist project, melting loops, samples & bruises that where sometimes collected more than 15 years ago, or referencing memories of the artist.

From its very first seconds, title-track “Journey” assembles around layers of retro electronic organs, samples from raï tapes and a drum section influenced by modern halftime and old-school hip-hop, giving a luminous, timeless feeling. The darker “Memories” is based on a haunting piano melody, which builds a nostalgic and uneasy vibe that feels closer to trip-hop, while “Elliptic” offers yet another take on dubmentalist’s sound with its subtly shifting loops, slowly developing an unsettling groove that seems to constantly rebuild. The EP’s last track, “Ghosts In My TK6”, matches creaking sounds, weird noises and more, coming from a vintage portable recorded, which are recycled in a perfectly arranged d&b track. It also closes an EP that feels both evocative and personal, as well as a new Syrinx Music release located in between the club & the lab.

PREMIERE : Debug - Too Many Rows (XCI Trippy Schifo Remix)

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/musina-ebobisse
Track: Eolian Calm

Format: 12" Vinyl, Digital EP
Release date: 21/06/2024

French saxophonist Musina Ebobissé unveils ARMAUN, his third release under the Blendreed name. ARMAUN – Ambient Resistance Music Against Urban Noise – takes a stand against the interference of invasive irritants with sublime slow motion music. Its four pieces evoke an ecstatic peace, allowing both artist and listener to breathe deeply. As the compositions unfold, each exhalation resonates at the frequency of the human mind in repose.
Layers of treated and reverberant saxophone fuse into a hypnagogic whole, as elongated melodies interact with their own fragmented and transformed echoes. In a semi dream state, existence is experienced at a languid pace, as each phrase decays into a haze of crosscurrents.
If ARMAUN recalls the fourth world music of Jon Hassell and Eno, it equally finds oblique kinship with Andre 3000’s “New Blue Sun”. Likewise, it shares essential DNA with vaporwave and the tape-loop experiments of Terry Riley. Conceived as a confluence of acoustic and electronic elements, Blendreed explores the intersection of jazz, ambient, post-rock and experimental music.
This is work of exquisite beauty with a direct function. It provides an antidote to the bombardment of our senses. After unhooking your mind from temporal entanglements, ARMAUN will absorb your soul.

Josh Caffé - Rextilla [fabric Originals]

The water was still down by riverside, revellers had gathered on the banks to talk shop and reflect on what had been, the sky a puffy assortment of fairy like clouds which hovered overhead. It was a muted blanc, a trusting colour which promised stillness and peace throughout the evening.

The midweek blues had long since passed as they watched the boats go slowly past, indulging in pleasant conversation as the echo of laughter rolled downstream.

These were the nights when things went right.

Noire & Blanche release a well crafted EP made up of luxurious, deep textures which will soundtrack many a summers evening and moody basement we predict. House music very much as it was intended to be so.
