Two brothers, surname Summers. London rap duo Summers Sons drop the second single from their forthcoming album project ‘Still Nothing Still’. Turt and Slim have updated their beloved jazz rap sound with a more electronic, trip-hoppy vibe.

In ‘Growing Pains’ Turt deals with the impermanence of life. A topic that has gotten a new urgency for him since having been diagnosed with epilepsy in 2021.“ One thing I've learnt in life is you never see it coming“ Turt explains. “Any day it can all change. The impossible to imagine is just round the corner. For better or worse. Sometimes it's painful but it's all growth. Still nothing still.” The single comes with a great visualizer by Seb Luke-Virgo.

Since 2018 Summers Sons have released four albums (‘Undertones’, ‘Uhuru’, ‘The Rain’, ‘Nostalgia’) and a string of high profile collabos with artists like C.Tappin, Twit One, The Silhouettes Project and Koralle. Not forgetting Slim's beat tape for KO-OP.

In 2023, Turt released the album ‘The Questions’ as one third of the project Syrup (the other two are Twit One & C.Tappin) while Slim released an album project (‘Cerulean’) with Benaddict and Ella Mae Suref. Turt also dropped two singles with the Silhouettes Project alongside Nix Northwest and Frankie Stew & Harvey Gunn.

Two brothers, surname Summers. London rap duo Summers Sons drop the second single from their forthcoming album project ‘Still Nothing Still’. Turt and Slim have updated their beloved jazz rap sound with a more electronic, trip-hoppy vibe.

Turt: „September 1st 2021, I woke up in hospital in a lot of pain. It was the second time in three months and both times I'd suffered five seizures. After a lot of tests and an MRI, I was diagnosed with epilepsy. The doctor showed me my test results and told me I had abnormal brain waves and excessive electrical activity in my brain. Too much electric in my brain? That made sense to me.

I knew it was important to talk about Epilepsy on this album, to understand my own experiences but also to help other people do the same. Epilepsy has taken its toll on me mentally and physically but the diagnosis gave me a framework to better understand my brain, and forced me to be more mindful in how I balance and direct my energy. Every experience, good or bad, brings new perspectives. This one hit me hard, but it also sparked so many of the ideas that formed this album. I guess everything happens for a reason!"

Stream, download & LP: https://melting-pot-music.lnk.to/semilla

“Semilla” is a collaborative album by multi-instrumentalist Pachakuti and producer young.vishnu. Pachakuti is a classical trained saxophonist and pianist with strong leanings towards jazz and latin music. young.vishnu is a beatmaker, arranger, sampleologist and the founder of the Nima Composition Archive. They both met briefly five years ago in Hildesheim and became friends on a road trip to the bask country. Pachakuti and young.vishnu formed a nine-piece band called the Soularkestra which became the nucleus of their new project.

With “Semilla” the duo is dipping deep into hip-hop, jazz, latin, funk and soul with strong messages about politics, identity, globalization and neocolonialism.

Semilla means seed, means birth, 
means life, means opportunity. 
Opportunity of roots, of growth, 
of creativity, of expression. 
Expression of the sacred, 
of abundance, of eternity. 
Eternity of seeds, of flowers, 
of fruit, of death, of rebirth. 
Rebirth of lineages, of purpose, 
of knowledge, of truth. 

young.vishnu is still living in Hildesheim. Pachakuti moved to Berlin a couple of years ago and is also part of the Douniah & High John live band.

For fans of Sun Ra, Madlib, Quantic and Poets of Rhythm. The “Semilla” LP is limited to 300 copies and will be already available on 14th August.
