"Broke Open" is the first offering from Taysha.

Taysha is a compilation of "ambient" works produced exclusively by Texas based artists - out on January 14th.

Botany is North Texas raised, Austin based, Spencer Stephenson, who has been releasing with Western Vinyl since 2010. 

"With only a handful of releases to his credit, Texas native Spencer Stephenson has covered a vast, impressive array of musical ground with his work as Botany. Integrating live instrumentation and dusty samples, his compositional techniques are informed by hip-hop and beat-heavy electronic music, but they reference spiritual jazz, psychedelic folk, ambient, and numerous other styles. His work varies from more rhythmic, pulsating tracks to free-flowing washes of sound, but it’s always conscious, uplifting, and organic. Originally from northern Texas, Stephenson started experimenting with music production as a teenager, inspired by Four Tet, Madlib, J Dilla, and others. He began sharing his music online in 2008, and his first EP, Feeling Today, was released by Austin-based Western Vinyl in 2010. A bit more poppy than some of his later releases, the recording featured vocalist Ashley Rathburn. Botany remixed artists such as Ryat and Cuushe and produced a track on Lushlife’s 2012 album, Plateau Vision. After relocating to a farm outside Austin, Stephenson recorded his full-length debut, Lava Diviner (Truestory), which appeared in 2013. Dimming Awe, the Light Is Raw, the most hip-hop-oriented Botany release to date, appeared in 2015 as a limited LP; guests included rapper Milo and Leaving Records founder Matthewdavid. In 2016, Botany released Deepak Verbera, a surprising excursion into cosmic music and free jazz, channeling artists such as Alice Coltrane and Popol Vuh. Just three months later, Stephenson issued a batch of instrumentals titled Raw Light II, and in 2018, released a collaborative album with Philadelphia rapper Lushlife under the name The Skull Eclipses that included guest features from Open Mike Eagle, as well as members of Shabazz Palaces, and Dirty Projectors. The duo performed at the legendary weekly showcase in LA, Low End Theory, before the event was discontinued last August."

Premiere: Syz - Essence

Jamz Supernova's label Future Bounce this year turns it's hand to the club, with a year long series of club releases which will culminate in a compilation! 

The fifth release comes from London’s LR Groove. A legend in the UK Funky scene and now firmly at the forefront of producers inspired by sounds coming out of South Africa such as Gqom. Jamz fell in love with his Afro drum programming & unique basslines. A particular record that made her a fan was “Device” which was a mainstay in her DJ sets the summer of 2018 shelling festivals from Sonar to Boardmasters. 

The A side of this release “Fak’ uSos” featuring South African artist Toya Delazy was born out of an idea that Jamz had to connect two worlds. With LR Groove honing his UK Gqom inspired sound, Jamz thought it would be a perfect moment to connect the UK interpretation back to the source, and with the help of Toya Delazy add the authenticity and further strengthen the relationship that the UK has with South African club music. The B side “Format" is LR Groove at his finest a bass heavy roller that all DJ’s need in their sets. 

About LR Groove: 
LR Groove is a master of energy and rhythm: a Tribal Brother who’s been at the cutting edge of London’s soundsystem culture since he first touched a turntable in the mid-90s. With years of experience at his fingertips, he’s now making some of his best tracks yet, launching the skittering heartbeat of UK funky into the future on labels like Nervous Horizon and his own Renk Groove Recordings. With London dancefloors still a global junction for fresh sounds, LR Groove is one step ahead already – absorbing Gqom, dancehall, footwork and a whole universe of limb-shaking percussion into his singular style.
