Reviews of P.E.A.C.E. 

"New LP P.E.A.C.E. maintains all of the things that made Maximum Joy’s music so good - great grooves, Slits-esque bravura and the ability to cross between genres at will - and update it with modern sonic techniques and production styles. The resulting sound takes in so much of Bristol’s rich musical history" Bleep

“…..The return of British punk-funk trailblazers …[Maximum Joy] ..  their sound still resonates over three decades later ….now reformed as MXMJoy…. new album P.E.A.C.E. ..a blissful amalgam of electronica and R&B, laced with grittier, brooding undercurrents that hark back to their early-’80s vision” Vinyl Factory

As recommended in Vinyl Factory – the 10 best albums to look out for in February 2019

“..Their trademark ‘funk-punk’ sound lives on in this album stabby bass guitar grooves as well as .. simmering synths….with sliding airy vocals lending a spooky quality to the tracks…A celebration of togetherness”  Crack Magazine 7/10

“Hugely important to the evolution of the Bristol post-punk scene, they can still produce compulsive dance beats in avant-garde electronic settings..” HiFi News

Guardian - 4 out of 5 stars.

Maximum Joy’s spiky joyful post-punk funk rose up from the fertile Bristol scene of the late 70’s/early 80’s, when local musicians inspired by the likes of punk, Albert Ayler, I-Roy and Funkadelic grafted their music on to the politics of punk rock. The music they made mixed punk, reggae, funk, jazz and hip-hop grooves with wild improvisation and attitude – these dance-dub tunes sound fresh and alive today.
In 2015 Rainforth spearheaded the reforming of the band to play at Bristol’s Simple Things festival – she was joined by original members Tony Wrafter and Charlie Llewellin along with new players James Byron on guitar and Marek Bero on bass.
Since then Janine and Charlie went on to release a new album P.E.A.C.E in 2018; Joy Again EP in 2020.

Archaeological evidence from prehistoric times suggests that the Earth was once viewed as a living, female being. Ancient texts and mythologies support the idea of a female deity associated with the earth and all life. The Phyrigian Earth Mother Kybele was one such figure among many and represented the earth, mountains, caverns, and all nature, the birth of humanity, the universe and everything in it. 

Inspired by this timeless and universal vision, this project is dedicated to featuring and celebrating the bounty and beauty of the creative works of women in music through special podcasts, original releases, and mixtapes curated by women producers, DJs, and musicians of a wide range of genres from around the world. 

In addition to highlighting the works of women in music, Kybele develops opportunities for broader inclusion of and greater collaboration among emerging and established artists  of all backgrounds through the "Friends of Kybele" series.

Steadily rising into the light is Admin. 

Admin has been consciously collecting and spreading musical grooves in Bristol for around a decade. Founder of the fabled clubnight, Slix Disco, and whitelabel edits series 'Community Disc-O’s’, the consistency and quality of his musical projects stand out amid a vibrant local scene whilst attracting attention from peers and fans alike from around the globe.

A studious beatsmith and producer, Admin draws influence from his record collection. Disco, Jazz, House and Hip Hop guide his own productions into different soulful and eclectic directions. With records released on Sleazy Beats, Boogie Cafe, Omena, Futureboogie and more, Admin's music is a testament to the bedroom producer ethos - making tracks which just as easily start the dancefloor as hypnotise the home-listener.

Whether DJing percussive-heavy disco and boogie, producing jazz-tinged house, jamming with drum machines and keyboards for beat tapes, scouring for new label releases or soothing listeners on independent radio, Admin executes everything with detail and affection. It's these attributes that make him an exciting talent and one to cast a forensic eye on.
