Downtempo Fuks 2

SLOW BURN is a meditation on culling our desire and need for extraneous possessions, burning down those things that are not pure of heart, and warming the soul in the embers left behind. Through loss and renewal, we may realize that the fear of our possessions no longer being within grasp is often larger than the fear of not having them at all. 

“Things burn down and then you watch the flowers grow back out of the cracks," Michal reflected in an interview with BandWagon. “It’s about watching things burn, but realizing that they’re just things,” he said. “And realizing that the pain of losing them actually creates space.”

Fragments, the new 19-track LP by nwmi, emerged from an effort by Calgary-based producer Adam Blanchard to soundtrack a cooking web series with what he describes as “scenic beats” primed for chilling out and enjoying good food.

Blanchard, who runs the bass music collective DoYu and normally produces under the alias smol, is a longtime fan of culinary arts and frequently shares his passion with others through educational videos and menu design. Naturally, he began looking for ways to merge this with his passion for electronic music.

“Music to eat to, that was the original concept,” says Blanchard.

This concept initially began as a series of mixtapes of original productions called “music to be nice to” that Blanchard launched on SoundCloud in March 2021 under his smol alias. These productions soon morphed from a side-project into a full-blown foray into the world of beatmaking and the exploration of warmer, more reflective ambiances.

“I’m used to doing so much bass music, so it was nice to try something different and rebrand the whole writing process into a split personality,” says Blanchard.

Taking inspiration from artists like DJ Snake, Kaytranada, and Diplo, Blanchard created a new alias nwmi with the aim of producing tracks that crossed both genre lines and international borders.

The 19 tracks on Fragments are a mosaic of tempos that pay homage to genres like lofi hip-hop, downtempo electronica, house music, and jazz. To create a full-length album with this unique composition Blanchard assembled a vast library of samples, many of which can be linked to rich musical cultures around the globe. There’s the reggae-style vocal samples on “its yu,” the vocal percussion of Brazilian Baile Funk on “seaside funk,” and the dynamic guitars of Flamenco on “flamuego,” just to name a few.

“For the past 28 years I have explored every style, genre and cultural root of the music that floated into my awareness,” says Blanchard.

Fragments is the first full-length LP that Blanchard has released in the course of his decade-long career as a producer. To commemorate this milestone it will also be released on vinyl available through pre-order.

For this record I first went out to New York to record with some of the daptone records guys to get the main groove Of the tune. Then I had to travel out to Van Nyus to record a children's choir, which was the most nerve racking thing I have done in my entire life! Having a group of 7-11 year olds sing your song is quite the feeling. I then finished up the song with Mike Avery in Chicago. He was one super soulful dude and really captured the golden era funk vibes that I love so much. Overall, this is a song that is a total funk dance party. Enjoy with friends, preferably in a room full of disco balls :)

BANG! Time for me to add a new EP to my discography! I think the following statement made by The Pirate Bay in January explains very well what #digitalfreedom is all about:
''Over a century ago Thomas Edison got the patent for a device which would "do for the eye what the phonograph does for the ear". He called it the Kinetoscope. He was not only amongst the first to record video, he was also the first person to own the copyright to a motion picture.

Because of Edison's patents for the motion pictures it was close to financially impossible to create motion pictures in the North American east coast. The movie studios therefor relocated to California, and founded what we today call Hollywood. The reason was mostly because there was no patent. There was also no copyright to speak of, so the studios could copy old stories and make movies out of them - like Fantasia, one of Disney's biggest hits ever.'' #thepiratebay

So FUCK ACTA, SOPA, PIPA and any bill that wants to give corporations the power to regulate and censor the internet, especially if those same corporations built their empires solely on copyright infringement! #digitalfreedom

Anchor Bay, California based electronic music artist and producer Michal Menert draws breath from the world that surrounds him, transmuting daily inspiration into music that is singularly his own. 

“A synthesis of past, present, and future, elegantly woven together by the hands of Michal Menert.” – Huffington Post on Space Jazz

A youth steeped in a broad swath of both Eastern and Western musical traditions gives Menert a deep palate from which to draw; his passion for original analog sounds coupled with a vast knowledge of music history has given him a unique ability to pull from the global creative canon with ease. A multi-instrumentalist, he incorporates live guitar and keys into his final production for a full sound and rich feel. 

As Menert co-produced the chart topping Pretty Lights album Taking Up Your Precious Time it was natural that he was the first artist to join Pretty Lights Music. His debut solo album Dreaming of a Bigger Life was released in 2010, followed by 2012’s mega-LP Even If It Isn’t Right. In winter of 2015 Menert released the highly anticipated Space Jazz, followed by fall 2015’s debut release by his band Michal Menert & the Pretty Fantastics, 1. His next release is expected in winter 2018.

In the live realm, Menert supplied sound design for Dead & Co tours in 2016 and 2017. Additionally, he supplied sound design on Mickey Hart’s Planet Drum rerelease in Fall 2016. Building on that relationship, Menert in both a featured performer and co-producer on Hart’s next studio record, slated for release in the fall of 2017.

Menert’s reputation as a live performer continues to grow, as he brings his music to fans nationwide via both his septet, Michal Menert & The Pretty Fantastics, and his 22-piece all-star ensemble the Michal Menert Big Band. His collaborations have led to the formation of myriad ongoing side projects including Manic Menert (with Manic Focus), Half Color (with Paul Basic) & Club Scouts (with Mux Mool). Over the years Menert has shared the stage with a number of musical luminaries including STS9, Bassnectar, Umphrey’s McGee, and more, and played legendary venues including the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, The Gorge in Washington and the Red Rocks Amphitheatre (twice in 2016 alone.)

Committed to a community driven approach to collaborative creativity, Menert works hand in hand with producers he chooses for his own record label, Super Best Records. A dynamic and ideological producer, collaborating and working closely with a new generation of hip-hop & EDM producers, Menert is dedicated to bringing a new musical vision to life free from limitation.
