Maverick and mercurial UK jazz talent Sean Khan announces his upcoming BBE Music album ‘Supreme Love’ with first single ‘Starchild’, featuring vocals by Heidi Vogel and a remix from Kaidi Tatham.

Combining new arrangements of John Coltrane classics and original compositions inspired by his musical teachings, Sean Khan’s ‘Supreme Love’ is slated for release in June 2021. Opening salvo ‘Starchild’ offers up a scintillating taste of what’s to come from the project, with Khan delivering dextrous, elastic melody lines on both sax and flute over lush, evocative strings and an ultra-slick rhythm section. The piece also features heart-stopping vocals from long-time collaborator, and front-woman for The Cinematic Orchestra, Heidi Vogel.

“So Starchild is in an odd time signature: 7/4.” says Khan. “Coltrane was well known for using 7 note groupings or septuplet beat divisions, so that part is in homage to him. The lyrics are an ode to childhood. That’s when we are probably at our most creative, and the impulse to explore and create is generally lost, for a variety of reasons, when we reach adulthood. If we can retain this curiosity, then we continue to grow. Coltrane obviously retained this quality, but others of a similar sensibility like Bowie, Claude Debussy, Roberto Bolano and many others also tapped into their childhood experience. The importance of recognising the child within you and allowing it to flourish is a difficult thing. Many of us let it go but others try, so this song is in tribute to those people that try.”

Giving a subtle nod to his background in the UK Broken Beat scene with the contemporary arrangement of ‘Starchild’, Khan enlists fellow pioneer of the genre Kaidi Tatham to rework the track. Tatham’s version offers up warm electric piano chords over relaxed head-nodding beats, slowly evolving into an intricate, yet effortless, double-time bruk-up groove.

London-based “future soul” trio, 10:32, bring the sunshine vibes on their new single, “Coffee Shop Girl”. The group, consisting of in-demand pianist Lyle Barton (Emma-Jean Thackray, Matters Unknown, Golden Mean), drummer Radovan Brtko, and vocalist Bridget Walsh are sure to impress, with their fresh & electric blend of jazz, hip-hop, and soul.

Their latest single, “Coffee Shop Girl”, was inspired by a period of recalibration and renewal for the band. Produced by Lewis Moody (known for his work with 30/70 and B-ahwe), the song is an evolution of their signature sound hints to a great appreciation for the likes of Moonchild and Erykah Badu. 

The band shared some words: ““We escaped to the countryside in 2021 to conjure up a new record, and coffee shop girl is our first release from that week away. It feels right to start this new 10:32 chapter in the springtime with the same fresh energy you might start your day with when you get your morning coffee. Crushing on the possibilities of what you can manifest, falling in love with the hope for things to get better. Lightness of spirit but depth of intention - that’s basically our vibe.”

10:32 is an exciting new collective that is pushing the boundaries of soul and jazz and they are sure to capture the hearts and minds of music lovers around the world. Judging by the sound of “Coffee Shop Girl'”, there’s a lot more to come.

Colm K - Beginnings (K15 Remix) (STW Premiere)

MIMS is excited to share Ahu’s “I & I”, remixed by Edseven; an addictive slice of soul over hip hop beats that brings to mind classic trip hop, whilst sounding fresh at the same time. Taken from Ahu’s forthcoming ‘Platonic’ EP on Inner Tribe. Released on October 30.

A Red Bull Music Academy alumnus, Ahu has worked with the likes of Flying Lotus, Mr. Beatnick, Emanative and Simbad. Her self released single 'To:Love' produced by Paul White and Dimlite received world wide support by heavyweights such as Radiohead's Thom Yorke. A woman of many talents, Ahu also doubles as a DJ playing festivals such as Barcelona Sonar Festival, Southern Soul Festival, Brainfeeder as well as some of the scenes most iconic clubs & events including Plastic People, Boiler Room London and Gilles Peterson’s World Wide Awards. 

This is a woman with raw talent and a unique voice that you won't forget, whose songs have an original other worldly sound. Which no doubt led to her Emanative feature, "Turn Your Lights On", finding its way on to a short film for Miu Miu, directed by Ava DuVernay.   From writing songs for movie scores, some in languages other than her own, and with her last single 'Go' released by none other than Sony Music in 2019, on top of all this she also has earned herself a monthly radio slot on Worldwide FM called "Hour of Light".

Ahu is also a certified Astrologer, giving a deeper understanding and meaning to this extremely innovative album. Astrology is a symbolic language and the EP title 'Platonic' is related to Neptune. In "I & I " (Venus Square Neptune) in astrology it describes disappointment in situations of Love.

Armed with a unique ear, deep collection and a skill for combining diverse sounds, Sydney's Edseven has built a solid reputation as a DJ over the last 15 years as well as a producer/remixer and more recently as a promoter.

Edseven's production work draws upon a wide variety of influences, with releases including the dusty off kilter hip hop of his first two EPs on Straightup Recordings to his future focused 'Pigeon Clap' released via Frequency Lab on their Headroom compilation. Hs most recent outing was a single on Sydney based label Low Key Source featuring vocals from Colonel Red with remixes from Potato Head People & Grooveman Spot.

Released digitally on October 30 with physical to follow. ‘Platonic’ also features remixes by Kid Sublime, Roane Namuh and Inner Tribe co-founder Inkswel.
