Ibibio Sound Machine are set to release their debut LP through Soundway Records. Fronted by British / Nigerian vocalist Eno Williams, they combine elements of West African highlife, disco, post-punk & psychedelic electro soul. Preceded by the pulsating first single 'Let's Dance', ‘Ibibio Sound Machine’ will be released 17th March.

Folk stories, recounted to Eno by her family as a child in her mother's South-Eastern Nigerian Ibibio language form the creative lyrical fabric of the album. A large dose of electronic elements and an approach as influenced by London as much as by West Africa, give the vocals and guitar lines space to breath without being overwhelmed.

From the banging sub-bass of 'Lets Dance' to the spiritual, gospel-tinged notes of the album's opening track 'Voice of the Bird', the band have turned in a dynamic and, at times, beautiful take on modern afro-soul music.

The 8-piece live band made their official live debut at this year's Transmusicales in France and will be a name to look out for in 2014

In Too Deep

Digital Release:14th August 2017
Vinyl Release: September 2017

Ramrock Records launch their new Balearic/Jazz label Ramrock Red with ‘Lazy Bones’ by Future Unit.  London based composer and producer Remy Felix Vas aka Future Unit, saw his vinyl debuts released on the highly boutique and influential Porn Wax and Tusk Wax labels in 2016.  

Praise for ‘Pegasus’ (Tusk Wax 20) 
‘’The plaudits should be saved however for the mysterious Future Unit, who marks his debut with the slow motion acid funk of “Pegasus”, a total mind melter if ever I’ve heard one.’’ – The Vinyl Factory, May 2016

Praise for ‘Man From the South’ (Porn Wax 11)
‘’The slow motion magic continues on the flip as Future Unit hits us with the lysergic brilliance of "Man From The South", a tripped out bit of space disco for all the acid casualties out there. Corrosive sequences, tasty funk touches and a big whacking Carpenter-esque bassline make for a full scale party jam here. It's official, Future Unit's the effin man!’’ Piccadilly Records, Manchester, July 2016 
‘Lazy Bones’ will be Future Unit’s third release.  It started with Bill Brewster playing it on his weekly podcast and next THE Ashley Beedle is shouting its Balearic brilliance from the twitter rooftops! 

The original combines an insistent 70’s Italian library music inspired hook with crunchy beats and cosmic synths.  Paired with slacker lyrics, it’s your unofficial alternative summer soundtrack; baggy guitars, eclectic electronica, loose, uplifting sounds, fat, acid basslines and insistent, earworm melodies. 

Remixes come from three highly respected remixers, all drawn to the original through social media word of mouth. 

Iberian edits supremo James Rod takes the lazy hazy beats of the original, plumps and pumps them, adds in washes of reverb, bubbly synths and a general feeling of mañana! 
No introductions needed for Ashley Beedle who takes the playfulness of the original vocal and adds a nice thick slice of deft Rhodes work and funk drumming. The outcome? A lazy day in 70’s San-Fran, looking at the Golden Gate bridge through an acid haze! 
Rubberlips' remix takes the original into big soundscape territory recalling Manc legends World Of Twist. The laid back vibe of the original is taken to a sun lounger for a cocktail and a psychedelic or two with added bass from Randy Martin.

The original and all remixes will be available both digitally and on limited edition vinyl (though huge initial interest means a possible repress) through Ramrock Red Records.
