Magnific! ✨✨🌚❤️‍🔥☕️✨✨

The lead single from the next instalment of the best-selling Mr Bongo Record Club compilation series.

When one of our most revered artists offered us the chance to include an exclusive track we of course jumped at the chance. As expected, what we received blew us away and we knew it had to be the lead single from the compilation. 

Hearing the Swedish outfit Sven Wunder for the first time is as refreshing as an ice-cold Limoncello after an Italian meal. One of those artists that feel instantly familiar like an old friend, yet simultaneously fresh and new. Having released three stunning albums adored by a rapidly growing fanbase, and a host of critical acclaim from the likes of the New York Times, Pitchfork and the Quietus to name just a few, the expectation of what is to come next from this wonderfully unique artist is palpable. 

Mosaic' — conceived for Mr Bongo Record Club Vol.5 — merges jazz and rock, by building a detailed pattern garnished by regular and irregular pieces containing guzheng (also known as the Chinese zither), baroque harpsichord and driving drums all framed and contrasted by lush strings, brass and woodwind. The result stands in some way between Wabi Sabi (2020) and Natura Morta (2021), a perfect exploration point for a unique sound that appeals to both psych and prog listeners, folk or jazz aficionados and as well the gourmet hip hop connoisseurs.

Tam Tam Tam Reimagined is the second album to come from Gilles Peterson’s Sonzeira project. Overseen by the DJ and record collector of 30-years, this second album picks up where the first one left off. Where Brasil Bam Bam Bam brought together the all-stars of Brazilian music, this album focuses on a key moment in the country’s history; a record made at a crucial moment serves as the jumping off point for an open-ended project of musical reimagining.

'Vestibule' and 'A Mere Subjective Experience' open the doors to a new voyage called 'Ravine', courtesy of The Incognito Traveller. This time around the music takes an introspective twist and looks within to discover what lies beneath the skin, beyond all exterior definitions and right into the deepest definition of self. Through proper jazz-infused trip-hop, 'Vestibule' and 'A Mere Subjective Experience' unveil unexplored interior spaces and beautifully complex inner worlds.
Milton Erickson’s “A Special Inquiry with Aldous Huxley into the Nature and Character of Various States of Consciousness” serves as the conceptual basis for a whole album’s worth of cinematic jazz explorations. In the study Aldous Huxley is guided into a deep hypnosis and, in such state, he describes meeting with his own self at different ages and revisiting his own stages of growth and intellectual development. 'Vestibule' and 'A Mere Subjective Experience' reference closely two specific instants in the author’s recount of the experience.
Eyes closed, the listener gets easily carried away within, into a grand voyage of self-discovery and inner aperture. 'Vestibule' is a classic jazz/trip- hop piece with an imposing break and uplifting release to bring illumination to the spirit; whereas uptempo quasi-freejazz piece 'A Mere Subjective Experience' offers internal divine light and harmony for the soul.

Day 7: Karate Boogaloo - Doing It To Death

Being big fans of Contours, we are delighted to premiere his brilliant edit of "Mangroves" for Pyramid Project for ADA Records. 

Brought together by ADA label boss, Lasta, Pyramid Project finds Contours in collaboration with some of Kenya's most accomplished musicians, such as drummer Katumba, percussionists Abaki Simba Masta and Inspekta, and pianist Mutoriah. The full EP is released on November 13.

Perfect as an early dancefloor builder as well as in a Global Jazz set, Contours’ understanding of rhythm and tension really brings his edit of "Mangroves" to life.

With the original recording being a dramatic piece of Swahili Jazz, Contours uses the grittier elements of the composition to deliver an edit perfect for a cosmopolitan setting. Maintaining the driving elements of the bassline and rhythm section, the tension of the edit is developed by Contours’ synth work and a minimal choice of Mutoriah's riffs to build a more direct arrangement.
