MIMS is excited premiere "Alcazar" an uplifting & cinematic slice of dancefloor ready jazz that should sound incredible on a good sound system in a dark, low-ceilinged room.

Recalling 4Hero and Cinematic Orchestra, Vertaal's Odyssey is due for release on Empty Quarter Tribe as a bonus track on the new physical and extended version of their debut release, 'Paradigm Shifting'.

The track was inspired by observing people’s habits and home rituals during lockdowns. Multi-instrumentalist Theo Howarth and drummer Ajit Gill are joined by bass player Severin Bruhin and saxophonist Loren Hignall.

Gill and Howarth originally bonded over a shared love of groove, broken beat, Dill, neo soul, and that blend of jazz with funk, soul and electronic music often referred to as nu jazz.

As Vertaal the duo recorded and released music inspired be these shared musical tastes, releasing the 'Speric' E.P. in 2017, and 'Paradign Shifting' album in 2020, both on Empty Quarter Tribe.

Exclusive Premiere: Vertaal "Alcazar" (Forthcoming on Empty Quarter Tribe)

An irresistible slice of dancefloor-ready Afro-Brazilian fusion, "Can Do" is taken from Bristol  6-piece Dundundun's second EP for the ever relevant hometown label Worm Discs.

Following their sold-out self-titled EP, Dundundun are poised to share their ‘Future Hope’ EP, featuring special guest, poet, visual artist and filmaker Nadeem Din-Gabisi, and a remix from fellow Bristolian, world renowned DJ & producer Red Rack’em.

Packed with a wealth of experience, Dundundun members have spent the past decade touring the world and darkening studios with The Heavy, Alice Russell, Unforscene, DJ Die, Ben Westbeech, Pete Josef, Dele Sosimi, and Ishmael Ensemble to name but a few - bringing a rich heritage of sound straight out of Bristol’s thriving music scene. Electronic, arpeggiating multi-layered vibrations born from a mutual respect of past musical idioms and future musical legacy.

Their debut LP received love and support from the likes of BBC 6 Music's Gilles Peterson and Tom Ravenscroft, whilst recent support slots with Ashley Henry, Balimaya Project, Nubiyan Twist and Run Logan Run have helped hone the band’s live sound. 

Dundundun are Justin Fellows (Drums), Jackson Lapes (Percussion), Benji Muscat (Bass), Dorian Childs Prophet (Keys + Synths), Ben Plocki (Baritone Sax) and Brian Hargreaves (Tenor Sax).

'Future Hope EP' is released on April 8, available on all streaming platforms, limited vinyl and download via Bandcamp.

MAÏA - Hold it Down

The first incarnation of the Cosmos Dwellerz Arkestra was formed in the early 1970's by Sanifu Al Hall. Jr.
His goal was to form a group using available cutting-edge technolgies of the day fusing it into creative musical works.
What would now be called a hybrid group. Along with the quasi-standard Jazz group.
Sanifu made sagacious use of several analoguesynthesizers to forge both ambient and melodic incorporations.
Additionally he used unique signal processing on his trombone for this 1977 session.
The members of the Dwellerz on this session were
Sanifu Al Hall Jr - Trombone, Piano, Synthesizers, Percussion, Vox
Cedric Lawson-Electric piano
Kenny Klimax-Guitar
David Shields-Bass
Ndugu Chancler-Drums
Darrel Harris-Congas
