Fikir Amlak - Conquering the Wicked 10" pre-order live!

Order now, ships for Sept 29 release date: https://www.irootsrecords.com/new-products/tm1203-dza34-xd3sl-yxaz4-kd2tl-z546p-2mtd7-22jrl-j8jx9-spzem-rzxwg-7whzc-zan7e-3ww9s-tl6st-ts66j-95nnt-hnp7h-smw7f-jf9f8-69lad-4m5nb-s5y24-sxgc2

From the mountains of Colorado to the streets of LA, Red Peak Sound and Fikir Amlak join forces to bring forth Conquering the Wicked. J.Brenner's stripped back riddim combines with Fikir Amlak's diverse lyrical flow for a meditation to remind us all to stand strong and overcome the wickedness around us. Flipping the record over to the dub, J.Brenner takes us into the realm of drums and bass. Mixed in a ruff n tuff 80s dubwise style. Putting emphasis on the groove with plenty of echoe to take us even deeper into the mountainous valleys that surround Red Peak. The low harmonics on the bass, driving kick drum, and a strong lyrical journey all tie together perfectly to draw you closer to the speaker boxes and become entranced in the message and the music.

TNT Roots : "Earthman" (LP Raw Dub Creator)

Hard Dubbing - Vibronics Meets Weeding Dub

Taken from Linha D'Água, out now on LP and digital:
https://bokehversions.bandcamp.com/album/linha-d-gua

A lucid dream meeting of synth waves, aquatic jazz spirits and drum-triggered electronics. ‘Linha D'Água’ translates as ‘water lines’, fitting for an album that traces boundaries between water and air through an echo chamber of dizzying oceanic layers and free flowing ideas.

Mauricio Takara and Carla Boregas are two towering figures of the Brazilian underground/experimental scene, where they provide the rhythm section for demented genre-bending trio Rakta. While that band is all ritual percussion and red-blooded passion, as a duo they’re a blue-water flowing counterpoint. From the drums, Takara fires melodies and, with the synthesizer, Carla sculpts the sound. The result is caught somewhere between abstract improvisation and propulsive rhythm. Each song’s an organic layering of manipulated synthesizers and acoustic sounds; teasing new rhythms from the drum kit via MIDI (and a near-telekinetic bond between Carla and Mauricio).

Esferas de Conciencia

Premiere: Smurphy - Instinct [Bokeh Versions]

CDMX Queen Smurphy releases her new Bokeh Versions EP "Spheres of Consciousness," flexing 5 ardkore x juke inspired helium neck-snappers transporting you to a higher states.The Spheres of Consciousness EP represents a rising up, an embracing of life. 
We’re lucky to be hearing from the NAAFI / Leaving Records affiliated, CDMX-based producer at all. She’d all but shelved music to focus on her health; suffering loss of mobility and chronic pain from a spinal birth defect (Spina Bifida Occulta). Until Smurphy came across breatharian literature about ‘living without food’.
There’s a deep link with rave’s central DNA - the dancefloor promise of reaching that higher state - and her ongoing health conditions. These five dancefloor destroyers are wordlessly encoded with the breatharian theory. Life goes though different levels of existence like a videogame, from the lowest level as hard minerals (‘Existence’), plant and fungi life resonates as ‘Growth’, animal life resonates as ‘Instinct’, human life runs on ‘Intellect’, the boss level is ‘Intuition’ - the highest non-material sphere. 
Clearly Smurphy is back, healthier than ever, and in control with collaborative dancehall productions with Duppy Gun artists coming in 2021, with more music and collabs to be announced.
Out October 30th. Follow the Buy link to purchase.
