Rye Lane (Vol. 2 & 3)

Al Dobson Jr - Vibrations

Tenderlonious has proven himself to be one of the most versatile and uninhibited artists in music today, blending genres and multi-instrumentation with style and ease. Whether it be jazz fusion with his band Ruby Rushton, Hindustani classical with Pakistani quartet Jaubi or deep house, electro funk and ambient electronica in his solo studio productions, he has accumulated a back catalogue of releases and collaborations that unveil a musician who is continuously striving to evolve and push the boundaries of sound. 

His new album ‘Still Flute’ continues with that notion, combining his signature live flute and synth work over deep house, p-funk, spiritual ragas and ambient sound designs. There are four deep house jams, including ‘Song for My Mother’ and title track ‘Still Flute’, all embellished with energetic flute solos. ‘Isaac’s Theme’ and ‘Neptune’s Mood’ add the downbeat p-funk mood, while ‘Seti Khola’ is a deeply spiritual Hindustani raga. ‘Journey to Thra’ and ‘End Transmission’ add the ambient palette to another phenomenal record from Tenderlonious and the 22a camp.

Tenderlonious - Song For My Mother

God Are You Still Awake P Neeki

Blessed with an ability to fabricate distinctly lush sonic textures, Nicolaas Van Reenen stands as one of Cape Town’s finest. Under the moniker Fever Trails, he dispenses sounds that go against the grain, fashioning himself a perch on which to sit without competition. His upcoming EP Wax Bridge continues that exact remit with “Draw Me”.

Teeming with indigenous influences and spacey soundscapes, “Draw Me” is indicative of this artist’s well versed ability in all things music. Dreamy vocals along with ambient warmth sit atop live percussion with fresh elements being roped in to keep you on your toes – all culminating in a complex musical fabric that will have you wrapped up. It’s criminally good.

Wax Bridge touches down on 12th September through @quit-safari.

Plugged Up - Raché (Seven Davis Jr. Edit)

Taken from my new EP "Be Glad You Create Anything".
Thanks for your time.

We're all creative but somehow, being 'creative' has become a class within itself, often defined and measured by the whims of popular culture and monetary gain, which leads us to devalue what we create if we are not successful by those metrics. We are all creative, we all use our experience, talent and feeling to shape and we should Be Glad We Create Anything.

Douniah and High John are a neo soul duo from Hamburg and Berlin. “Like That” is the second single from their forthcoming debut album “Dream Baby” which will be released Nov 1st on Melting Pot Music.

John's warm, lo-fi beats and Douniah’s rich, soul-soaked voice interact in a very natural way, combining almost organically 90’s urban music with the timbre und themes of the here and now. Their first single “Dream Baby” became a minor late summer hit and the two made it on the cover of Spotify's "Butter" playlist.

Musically “Like That” shines with mellow 90ties throwback vibe, while  Douniah is dealing a very personal atopic in her lyrics: “Last summer I spent a lot of time capturing my friends.” she explains . “Their thoughts and their beauty in pictures and videos. We had the time and comfort to share a lot. The darkest and lightest. We took time to talk about our everyday life as women of color in this society. “Like That‘ is about what we told each other...there are pictures everywhere promoting our looks but not really speaking to us. We still compare ourselves with western and white beauty standards - Even though we have more representation now, there is still judgement when you dress a certain way or have your hair a certain way - there is still so much competition and comparison between women. I realized for myself that comparison is all right. However, it depends on your own perspective. I’m not gonna compare myself with someone that I will never be or look like. My health, especially my mental health, is what I should care about more – and not if my shirt is to short or if my hair looks nappy and Marie's doesn’t. It’s like that and I keep it like that.”

“Douniah’s lyrics brought back vivid memories of my first years in Germany after I had moved with my family from Hungary at the age of 7.” sasy High John. “Until I was roundabout 15 years old, I had a strong Hungarian accent and because of that I had to struggle with exclusion and discrimination. Sadly, a lot of the times it were actually my teachers, who gave me the feeling that I was somehow inferior. My otherness was the reason, why I was drawn to hip-hop culture early on, because hip-hop really gave me a purpose as a teenager. It was a protection that I utterly needed back then. My baggy pants were kind of my save space. Girls are reduced to their look way too often and I imagine it as very tough to be confronted with the expectation to be “beautiful”. It would be lovely, if our song gave some girls the same safe space that I found when I first discovered hip hop.”

High John released a split album with Plusma earlier this year titled “High+”. He is part of the Raw Suppliers collective and has 240k monthly listeners on Spotify.

Douniah released two dope collaborations this year: “Don't You Worry” with Fuchy (aka Farhot) and “Naked Trees” with Cap Kendricks.

Douniah and High John are an alternative R&B / Hip-Hop duo from Hamburg and Berlin. "Dream Baby" is their first album.

John’s warm lo-fi beats and Douniah’s rich soul-soaked voice interact in a very natural way, combining almost organically 90’s urban music with the timbre and themes of the here and now.

The two first met at the St.Pauli Kreativ Nacht Festival in Hamburg. When High John started his beat set, Douniah stepped to the mic and the magic happened. John and Douniah jammed for nearly one hour and this session became the stepping stone for their future project.

Sydney dancefloors owe a lot to Setwun.
And lucky for us his hard drives are now being exposed.

Dedicated to the uplift, he and his music raise us higher and higher, and now
Mandarin Dreams have the honour of presenting two soulful cuts off his upcoming EP, Our World.

This is a timely delivery for a society wearing the pain of it’s awakening.
And to heal, we first must listen.

Our World is a collection of worship songs. To the god almighty,
music.A celebration of the power of creation, and its ability to unite us with ourselves, and each other.

This is Our World.

Setwun delivers two holy gifts in Reach and Steamdown. Both infectious rhythms are currently being tested to treat The Disease.
Use these gifts to find hope.
Listen alone. Listen together.
Raise it up.
