L'Orange Signs 3 Album Deal w/ Mello Music Group

The Deal:
After selling out the first three pressings of his vinyl in under 30 days, old soul producer L'Orange has signed a 3 album production deal with MMG for 2014 & 2015.  Slated to create a combination of projects from instrumental, to jazz singers, to alternative edged collaborations with emcees, L'Orange is looking to bring his distinct sound to Mello's audience, while continuing to push the boundaries of his musical explorations. 

The Sound:
Prohibition era soul samples combine with lingering smoke in the air on L'Orange productions.  Able to bring the crackle of vintage radio back in head nodding introspective journeys, L'Orange's ability lies in making complex productions seamless, allowing listeners to slide into another world. L'Orange's talent as a producer is his ability to develop full visions that create environments for artists and listeners alike. L'Orange is somewhere between early DJ Shadow, Madlib, Portishead, and Billie Holiday. 

The Instant Grat:
L'Orange recently recruited Mr. Lif & John Robinson for his contribution to the MMG compilation "Mandala Vol. 1, Polysonic Flows".  The track, titled "The Lost Nova", combines jazz rhythms, classic crackle, and intricate drum patterns for the raspy voiced Mr. Lif to tell his tale of verbal kumite (組手) and whirlwind zephyrs, while John Robinson takes listeners to the crystal city via his astro-physical-lyrical gift and extra-galactic tactics.

Anti-Lilly & Phoniks - "14 Til"

US CD/Vinyl is available at our bandcamp link 
http://dephacation.bandcamp.com/releases

European vinyl is available at http://sergentrecords.bigcartel.com

"Step Up" represents the underdog in a competitive environment. Representing a culture in a place that doesn't at all embrace it is something that is unique to our struggle. This song is about getting knocked down repeatedly and having both the courage and strength to get up, and keep fighting. "Step Up" is about taking control of our own destiny, paying our dues, and making the necessary sacrifices to win. This one is for people with a heart like a Shabazz Napier, and the determination of a Russell Wilson. 


Please support the underdogs. In doing so, you support your own independence and liberation from the tether of Tom Ford fuckery.   

Awon & Dephlow - Step Up (Prod. Phoniks)(Off New album AVAILABLE NOW!!! link in description)

produced by Apollo Brown
vocals by Red Pill & Verbal Kent

After Ugly Heroes' 2013 classic self titled LP, Apollo Brown, Verbal Kent and Red Pill are back again with a new EP coming out August 19th.  The new EP features five new songs (including a Murs feature) and 4 bonus track b-sides.  Ugly Heroes will also being touring Europe for a few weeks this August, starting with the legendary Hip-Hop Kemp Festival before hitting London and a number of other spots (all the dates will soon be up on the MMG Event Calendar).  The new EP will first be available digitally with a vinyl edition to follow late in the year. Original artwork by illustrator Paul Grelet.

Ugly Heroes - Naysayers & Playmakers

 Natural High is the first single off the new LP by Awon entitled "Matte Black Soul". Like the album, Natural High takes a more personal approach from Awon. The song deals with the task of maintaining a relationship while perusing his own dreams. He exposes his own flaws while pointing out the positive aspects of his lady. While this track may seem like a typical and smug ode to the opposite sex, it is quite deceptive in its own right. This song is developed with the streets in mind. Phoniks laces the track with cuts and his signature bass heavy jazz style of production. Sit back, spark up and go on this journey with Awon & Phoniks.
