M.A.R. - Music & Rhythm

Available here: https://keno.bandcamp.com/album/out-past-the-current

Having released his debut album Around The Corner in 2018, as well as a critically acclaimed LP in collaboration with Los Angeles-based musician Tristan de Liège two years later, Keno aka David Hanke’s latest opus, Out Past The Current, brings together not only some of his finest remixes from the past four years but also a handful of new and exclusive works.

Once again Hanke's love for more downtempo styles is on show - a passion that has immersed the producer into the electronic music scene since the early 2000s. Developing his own style over the last few years with lush instrumentations, more complex songwriting and distinctive drum programming, his songs and remixes ease the mind with echoes from the past.

What better way to start then, than with a never before heard recording from Keno, appropriately entitled Outset. Something of a statement of intent, this new piece establishes the producer’s trademark strings only to let loose with an intense 45 second drum workout that’ll leave the listener in a spin and hungry for more.

And more comes in the shape of a remix for Berlin producer, composer and arranger Niko Schabel aka Radio Citizen who has been releasing music for the last 15 years, and currently with his hometown label, Sonar Kollektiv. Serene, in it's original form, was featured on the 2017 album Silent Guide, and was a suitably contemplative and laid-back piece of instrumental music. Keno’s reworking adds more of a groove and tightens up the freeform nature of the original without losing any of its easygoing charm.

Matasuna Records starts the new year 2020 with a brilliant release, featuring two contemporary tracks by Paris based Afrobeat band Batunga & The Subprimes, available for the first time on vinyl.

Batunga & The Subprimes was founded in Paris in 2009 by musicians from different backgrounds, united by the will to mix traditional African music with other elements (Latin, Jazz, Second Line and even Rock) and to bring this explosive mix on the streets & on stage. After many shows all over Europe and beyond, their first official album Man in the Field was published in 2017, followed by their EP Let dem In in late 2019. Matasuna has chosen two extraordinary cuts of these self-released albums to release them on vinyl for the first time.

Gates Of Ouantou from their EP is a great tune that sets the bar for contemporary Afrobeat and has all the ingredients for a timeless classic: the arrangement, the instrumentation and the interplay of the seven musicians in the song are excellent and will immediately draw you into its spell. A real gem and great tune!

Man in the Field on flipside is a cut of their first official album. Unusual is the use of a banjo in an Afrobeat song but not surprising that this fits in very well and also shows that classical structures can be broken up and developed in a new approach/context. Another great piece of this extraordinary band that has been operating under the radar - until now!

The longtime portuguese dj-producer Dedy Dread lands on DJ’s CHOICE label for his first full-on original production. “Don’t Wanna Wake Up” kicks off the collaboration with the soulful Hawaiian-born singer Olivia Ruff, a velvety warm r’n’b banger which will certainly tear through the airwaves. On the flip side, a “bikini-dub” version by The Rebel – helped by the sax of Danilo Desideri (Funkallisto) – which will make you wish summer comes sooner rather than later.
