Maverick and mercurial UK jazz talent Sean Khan announces his upcoming BBE Music album ‘Supreme Love’ with first single ‘Starchild’, featuring vocals by Heidi Vogel and a remix from Kaidi Tatham.

Combining new arrangements of John Coltrane classics and original compositions inspired by his musical teachings, Sean Khan’s ‘Supreme Love’ is slated for release in June 2021. Opening salvo ‘Starchild’ offers up a scintillating taste of what’s to come from the project, with Khan delivering dextrous, elastic melody lines on both sax and flute over lush, evocative strings and an ultra-slick rhythm section. The piece also features heart-stopping vocals from long-time collaborator, and front-woman for The Cinematic Orchestra, Heidi Vogel.

“So Starchild is in an odd time signature: 7/4.” says Khan. “Coltrane was well known for using 7 note groupings or septuplet beat divisions, so that part is in homage to him. The lyrics are an ode to childhood. That’s when we are probably at our most creative, and the impulse to explore and create is generally lost, for a variety of reasons, when we reach adulthood. If we can retain this curiosity, then we continue to grow. Coltrane obviously retained this quality, but others of a similar sensibility like Bowie, Claude Debussy, Roberto Bolano and many others also tapped into their childhood experience. The importance of recognising the child within you and allowing it to flourish is a difficult thing. Many of us let it go but others try, so this song is in tribute to those people that try.”

Giving a subtle nod to his background in the UK Broken Beat scene with the contemporary arrangement of ‘Starchild’, Khan enlists fellow pioneer of the genre Kaidi Tatham to rework the track. Tatham’s version offers up warm electric piano chords over relaxed head-nodding beats, slowly evolving into an intricate, yet effortless, double-time bruk-up groove.

In the Christmas spirit, I've chosen to spread some joy by compiling a three-hour mix of my past releases. You can now enjoy the full stream on YouTube and Soundcloud, and you have the option to download each individual track for free via Bandcamp.

The mix includes a diverse array of solo and collaborative singles officially released over the years, as well as tracks I've produced for various rap artists. Additionally, there are some older demos that never received a proper release due to the loss of the original files in a hard drive crash. These demos are currently accessible only as demo MP3s, and while the sound quality may not be flawless, there could still be interest in giving them a listen.

As the mix progresses, it takes you through different moods, starting with a chilled jazzy vibe and evolving into heavier boom bap beats. It provides a journey through tracks featuring a selection of the talented rappers I've had the privilege to collaborate with over the last 15+ years.

While I could have added many more tracks, I decided to cap it at 67! Haha.

This mix includes collaborations and features from the likes of Moka Only, Skuff, Phlocalyst, Wilczynski, Quiet Poison, Mr Melta, Blueprint, Ray Vendetta, Teslas Ghost, Harvs & KLB, JMega Tha God, Vitamin G, Heather Grey, Critical Downtime, Fthmlss, Solrakmi, Kuartz, Kalabi, Type Raw, Hypeman Sage, Stakka Lyrics, Skamma, Justo The MC, Cappo, Cyrus Malachi, Subtrax & more...

I sincerely hope you enjoy the music.

Potatohead People - Angelwings Feat Shafiq Husayn & Ivan Ave

"Damaged Goods" is a collection of 20 beats made by Low Key. This beat tape was made, mixed, and mastered with-in 2 months and took hundreds hours perfecting.

During the making "Damage Goods", there were times where the motivation just wasn't present and I basically had to force myself to create. This led to me mentally & physically feeling drained mid way through the tapes making which tempted me to name the project "Damaged Goods".

While some beats have similar flows each beat is different in it own way. Some tracks were bounced between my SP-404sx, KX-200U cassette deck, and Ableton Live 12. This is something you'll be able to hear through out the project as some beats sound crisp & clean, while others sound like they came straight out the cassette tape!

New single ‘KIK’I by Ray Lozano, co-produced with Samon Kawamura, is out now. After the success of ‘DRAGON’ and ‘HiYA’, Ray continues to push boundaries in 2025. Offering fans yet another glimpse into her evolving sound, ‘KIKI’ is a song that feels like home—stirring nostalgia with every note. “It’s that track you put on when you’re lost in old photos, caught between the warmth of memories and the ache of longing,” Ray shares.

Ray Lozano's forthcoming second album ‘SILK&SORROW’ (Friday 28th March) promises to take her signature blend of lo-fi future soul to new heights—uncompromising, playful, and deeply empowering. 

With her 2023 debut album ‘Pairing Mode’ (LP & Digital), co-produced with Samon Kawamura, the singer and producer from Cologne made a lasting mark on German-Asian (pop) culture. The album amassed over 56 million streams and garnered praise from tastemakers like Jamz Supernova, 1live, WDR Cosmo, and Spiegel Online. Her artistry has been recognized with the prestigious Holger Czukay Award and a NICA artist residency, all while captivating audiences across Germany.
