Blameful Isles - Bottle Up, Balthazar

Niels Broos debut release is out Feb 24 on Alpha Pup: https://nielsbroos.bandcamp.com/album/niels-broos-ep

As a recent Red Bull Music Academy alum and an accomplished keyboardist from the Netherlands, Niels Broos has worked with a level of tenacity and openness that’s created many fruitful opportunities. This holds true yet again in 2017, signing with Los Angeles based indie label Alpha Pup Records for the release of the Niels Broos EP. Scheduled to drop on digital platforms February 24, 2017, the new album serves as his first solo title and collects music recorded over the last two years. The writing process initiated in the beginning of 2015 after relocating to the city of Utrecht, serving as the score to a transitional and important time of his life. He also brought along Brainfeeder’s Jameszoo for these recordings, adding to the body of work they laid out on Jameszoo’s debut album Fool. 

The Niels Broos EP is made of four intricately constructed voyages into the electronic spectrum, pushing experimental boundaries with taste and beauty intact. The entire works sprawl with an endless array of sound to process in both harmonic and rhythmic terms, hinting towards many roads of the past, present and future. Sheets of colorfully drawn out synths are found in every seam possible, showcasing how detail oriented he is as a songwriter. There’s something new to find on every spin, suitable for the headphone experience to unleash the full range of layering within.  

When analyzing the creative and technical aspects of the Niels Broos EP, one has to take a step back and understand his past and upbringing. Harnessing his skills on the keys since the age of four and wrapping his mind around the canon of jazz legends such as Miles Davis and John Coltrane, innovators of this era such as Dorian Concept, Dimlite and Flying Lotus also became an important component to his self discovery as a musician. Add in a deep understanding of music theory and the art of improvisation, he’s able to traverse into the fullest language of his instruments capabilities. Even when Niels’ sound stretches to textures of the beyond, he’s still able to latch onto forward progression and balanced spacing.

Niels Broos is beginning to carve out a chunk of space in the non-mainstream arenas of music culture found within the Netherlands, carrying the torch with artists such as Jameszoo, The Kyteman Orchestra and Arts The Beatdoctor. Now it’s his time to fully shine with the initiation of his own solo content and the Niels Broos EP is a breathtaking launch in that name.

Composed by the pianist and arranger Alain Goraguer for the animated film, "La Planète Sauvage", this album became since his release year in 1973, a cult movie soundtrack.

And not only because most of the album's songs were sampled, several time by beatmakers like J Dilla, Madlib, Dj Shadow, Medaphoar or Promoe.

"La Planète Sauvage" was produced in 8-10 days, from the music writing, to the recording sessions, due the the scheduling to sell the movie. The film was already edited, and so the music fits the narrative rythm of the pictures. Mr Goraguer had to play with the living elements happening in each scene, following the events and actions, speed. It's what gives the recording its unique form.

He said in an 2013 interview, that it was a great plaisure to work on this music score. And the production is really apart of his other work for movies. Music for film was for him a place of freedom in comparison to his work for pop singers. It's maybe why this album is so particular.

The compostions are awesome, as the movie, out of boundaries and taking dimension into a deep and progressive fusion blending jazz, funk, classical and rock elements.

Alain Gorgaguer as great jazz fan, always added this feeling into his work with french artists like Bobby Lapointe, Gainsbourg, Boris Vian, France Gall, Jean Ferrat and is also producer of several movie soundtrack.

Medline choosed in his cover to blend three tracks to make one, as the tracks are considered like interlude, ambiant short pieces. So you will recognize parts of "Le Bracelet", "Ten Et Tiwa" and "Maquillage De Tiwa".

"The womb is The Stargate of Humanity” says Ras G, relating to the concept of his latest proper full-length - an astral ode to woman. "Stargate Music is a record that I livicated to the Womb-man...to the Vagina, The Stargate from which beings emanate life on this planet. I gathered these sound pieces and presented it as a reflection of the life cycle of beings on this planet." 

G has always been more to us than an influential L.A. beatmaker, but rather the luminary with an infectiously heartfelt zero-fucks-given philosophy towards raw experimentation in the Los Angeles underground producer scene since the early 2000s. 

"From The Primordial Water Formation we flow thru The Stargate....and one's great journey reconnecting and returning to the sweet nectar that is The Stargate....and this is the soundtrack to the journey." -Ras G

A Tribe Called Quest has been one of my longtime favourite hiphop crews, and this track always stood out for me because of the hazy atmosphere- they got the jazz indeed.

I tracked down the sampled original (it's Sonny Lester's version of  'Green Dolphin Street'), recreated the sampled bits & turned it into a slow burner in the style we know and love from Theo Parrish.
Sprinkled bits on top: some scratches, chorus & vocal snippets from the Tribe.

Enjoy this, and as always: favourite, download & comment if you like it. I really enjoy any feedback, it's how we grow as artists.
