Maria Usbeck's solo debut, Amparo, is a collection of songs written and recorded across the span of three years in Ecuador, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Barcelona, Lisbon, Easter Island, Costa Rica, Florida, L.A. and her home in Brooklyn. Though the songs were composed electronically, Amparo called for an acoustic treatment, so Usbeck spent a winter in the studio recording the arrangements live with producer Caroline Polachek and mixer & engineer Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson. Fleshed out in full sonic color on the marimba, xylophone, quena flute, piano, and harp, the album stretched into something hi-fi and expressive, meditative but not meandering.

Amparo stems from Usbeck's desire to compose in Spanish, her native language. Growing up in Quito, Usbeck was immersed in salsa, merengue, bachata, and Andean music, but was more attracted to German and American culture than to her own, and moved to America by herself at 17. After five years of fronting new wave outfit Selebrities and writing songs in English, Usbeck experienced a delayed-onset homesickness and knew it was time to "let the mother tongue speak." The impulse manifested itself directly: Amparo takes its title from Usbeck's middle name and her mother's name, and translates roughly as "to guide, protect, and embrace." Usbeck wields her Spanish lyrics cleverly while folding in snippets of several other far-flung tongues: Rapa Nui from Easter Island, Quichua from Ecuador, Bribri from Costa Rica, and Catalan. Because these lyrics were composed while visiting the countries from which they originate, their usage is more impressionistic than literal, like a mockingbird imitating fragments of other bird calls. Similarly, Usbeck reinterprets the Ecuadorian music that she grew up with as a newcomer, returning home with fresh ears, and as such the sounds are very much her own.

The backbone of Amparo is percussion, vibrating throughout with timbales, tumbas, a talking drum, bongos, shakers, and an Indian flat drum, with the gaps filled in by her field recordings of birds, beaches, and jungles. The songs were written and recorded chronologically, with the exception of the closing track, a cover of Colourbox’s “Tarantula” reimagined in Usbeck’s Spanish translation. Amparo is a reflection of the textures of Usbeck's childhood. It is also a distinctly grown-up pop record – a travel diary, music made by a visiting outsider to tap into a shared core of human expression. Emotively, Usbeck is her most powerful on piano ballads "Uno De Tus Ojos" and "Jungla Inquieta," but is a magnetic narrator throughout, moving between whispers, chants, and lullabies. Amparo pulses with many stories in many voices, but they flow together seamlessly like water, leaving behind a wordless hum.

Amparo is released May 27 via Cascine in North America, Labrador in Euope and Rallye in Japan.

ephemerals star has risen steadily since they broke onto the scene a couple of years ago with their critically acclaimed debut album – 'nothing is easy'. They’ve established themselves both at home and on the continent with the combination of a tireless tour schedule and prolific writing periods that sees them having completed album number 3 in as many years.

As before a new album once again sees them refresh their sound with a new set of influences and direction. Always unafraid to push the boundaries of their craft, this release unashamedly emanates jazz, afrobeat and psychedelia which galvanises the soul and r&b that remains at the heart of the band.

Keep Track

Sweatshop Soundsystem's debut 12". 

Treat the music with respect... 

We decided if we're gonna to do this, we're gonna to do it properly. Heavyweight 180g black wax, full artwork, Ten Eight Seven masters + lacs, Optimal press. 

We've been in love with Ash's music since day one whilst he's been quietly killing it in the underground. Coming in with heavy dub pedigree Ash's sound taps the veins of Soul, Jazz and Funk, fusing them into a suspicious Trip Hop tapestry. Both tracks feature the killer horn work of Yazz Ahmed, one of the freshest artists to rupture the Jazz world with her psychedelic arabic rhythms. And RUDEBWOY visuals come courtesy of Sophie Bass, the dopest illustrator in the UK right now. 

3ft Above // 

One for the heads. 

"3ft above was inspired by Ezra: he made a sketch originally that i reworked into my own vibe, removed layers and then added in drums, bass etc until i ended up with what it was.... then Yazz truly finessed it..... lots of space echo used". 

Bagger // 

An opiate laden dancefloor stomper. Big Fishtank Funk. 

"Bagger was originally made at my old studio in crouch end, and was inspired by the greek/turkish food i was eating at the time in the area.... I played it with Charlie at home, decided that it would sound great with Yazz on, and pulled the trigger.... the Bagger was born". 

Also, a slice of each record goes to the anti sweatshop activist organisation 'No Sweat' - fighting for workers rights worldwide. 

We also throw loophole raves...

Baby (Biggest Crush edit) by Donnie and Joe Emmerson

"Little Bird" is the first glimpse of the upcoming "Graveyard Novelas EP", the upcoming release by Mocky. "Graveyard Novelas" spans Mocky´s recent move from Berlin to L.A. and musically bridges the gap between these two metropolises, finding lots of common musical ground, from Berlin´s dark club sounds to L.A.´s hypnagogic songwriting renaissance. In making the EP Mocky used everything from a 30-piece choir to an autotuned vibraphone and the songs feature vocals from the silken voiced Hilary Gay and Pegasus Warning as well as Mocky himself, and Lucky Paul lends a hand on co-production.
