Gayance is a creole word for joyfulness. Since Aïsha Vertus is always unapologetic, it was the perfect name for her musical project that would also celebrate her Haitian roots. Born and raised in Montreal, she's a traveller. Gayance found her artistic family in Brussels in 2012 and moved there in 2017.  She discovered her musical family in Sao Paulo and Salvador, Bahia in 2014 where she goes every year since. She's been tearing down venues in Paris, Amsterdam, Brooklyn, Marrakech, Berlin and more. Since, she's been doing the back & forth between the two continents.
 
Gayance started as a DJ in 2013 just to make her first love a mixtape. Then, her eclectic musical taste was quickly picked up by many radio selekta and respected DJs. She made her debut at n10as. Gayance collects a large variation of music on vinyls from Afro-Latin Jazz, North American Black music, Caribbean vintage sounds, West-African and North African music.
 
For her first debut single "Fruta Gogoia" she dedicate a mantra to all Black Femmes to be unapologetic. This edit features the voice of one of her favorite Brazilian singer Gal Costa. Her single ''Ritmo'' in collaboration with Russian producer Dapapa is her first analag work on an acid house-ish song.

Notes on the Mix ///

''It's the sunny broken beat sound, the beautiful Black British sound that I want to emulate and inspire me for the people to dance, make love and forget their worries 'cause joy is resistance''

NTS Radio, Brothermartino - Casual Play Takeover

Plug One

Turbojazz Rewind (BrokeOne Remix)

An all vinyl program that focuses primarily on lesser known soul and funk music from the 1960s - 80s. The show also expands into genres such as jazz, disco, reggae, gospel, psych, folk and beyond. I try to play music that resonates with me in a profound way, in hopes that someone might also connect with it as well. Expect to hear music you have never heard before as well as classics that make you feel good. The show often includes a great mix of guests, often who are heavy collectors in the record community.

For the second single of ‘Barricade’, Matthew Hayes and Charlie Perry are joined by the formidable Allysha Joy.  Well versed in poetry and performance, Allysha Joy lends her husky, spoken vocals and potent lyricism to ‘I Can Hear You’. Her unique musicianship and killer vocals have garnered legions of attentive fans the world over, both as a solo artist and as part of the acclaimed 30/70 Collective. Allysha Joy is an artist that presents a palette of intricate grace and optimism, whilst unafraid of adding uncomfortable truths. 

“To have Allysha, one of the most prolific, talented and powerful musicians to come out of Melbourne, if not Australia, in the past five years, feature on the track is a real honour. Her grace and ease in the way she delivered her prose, sits perfectly against the rest of the record.” - Charlie Perry

Matthew Hayes and Charlie Perry come together to present Barricade, a record that instills hope and softness with a delicate balance of intricate bass guitar, electronic ambience and spoken word. The fusing of these elements imbues a sense of vulnerability, introspection and hopefulness throughout the entirety of the record, inspiring a calmness and beauty that emerges from amongst the ceaseless din of the world around us.

Hayes approached fellow musician and spoken word artist Charlie Perry at the beginning of 2020, to collaborate on some recordings originally written while on tour in Europe. The pair instantly hit it off and the idea to complete a record together was formed, not to be set back by the shutdown of the world almost immediately after. Hayes, caught in Europe mid-tour, based himself in the south of France, while Perry retreated to Australia’s southern coastline in the small beachside town of Fairhaven. This cross continental collaboration continued over many months as the world around them reeled from the results of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The album features other notable collaborations, such as the guest appearance of renowned saxophonist and JK Group bandleader Joshua Kelly on 'Introduction'; the one and only Allysha Joy delivers her unique talent with a soft yet powerful performance on 'I Can Hear You', and the versatile brilliance of Aarti Jadu shines in 'You Care I Know'.

As a whole, this record is a document of the power of creativity, community and hopefulness in a world that stands disjointed. It is a record that embraces rawness and vulnerability, and is executed with a sophisticated nuance and ease.

Matthew Hayes & Charlie Perry ‘Barricade’ out everywhere Friday, November 20.
