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.

Selectors Assemble are excited to bring you the premiere of 'CBD Cream' taken from the soon to drop Basement Membrane album on Inner Tribe records! 

A new fresh sound emerges on “Punk Funk” nods to the broken beat mastery of Dego & 4hero, swinging funk rap featuring Atlanta mc Stan smith and psychalic punk funk leanings on the aptly named title track. With Basement Membrane drummer Mike Mitchell aka Blaque Dynamite takes the percussive role. Mike started playing drums at the age of 2 (!), touring with heavy cats such as Kamasi Washington, Herbie Hancock, Erykah Badu and Derrick Hodge, releasingseveral albums as a frontman (which he sings on as well) and apparently those tight grooves had already been running in the veins of his family. Mike's uncle is the incredible Dennis Chambers, who played with people like Don Blackman, Funkadelic, Bernard Wright, Aurra, John Scofield, Santana and many more. The last piece in this powerful puzzle is bass and guitar player Lars Karakusevic, who also co-wrote several of the tracks on this forthcoming album. Beka wrote the rest.

Already receiving steady industry support from the likes of Lefto, selectors assemble, stepping to tomorrow, Mr Scruff and many more this album is cemented already as a future classic.

Various Artists -
The Far Out Beat Tape

RELEASE DATE: 27/01/15
CAT. NO: FARODIGI 71
FORMAT: Digital Download

The Far Out Beat Tape brings together some of the finest forays into beat-driven electronic music from the label’s extensive back catalogue. From classics to rarities, of varying tempos and styles, this mixtape eliminates binary genre classification and carves out a place for Brazil on the map of the global beat diaspora.
When celebrated digger, DJ and Brazilian music connoisseur Joe Davis set up Far Out Recordings in 1994, it was an incredibly exciting time for dance music in the UK. House, techno and rave were splintering off into varying directions, jungle was blowing up and the future was wide open. While Far Out may be more widely known for its modern day iterations of MPB, jazz and samba, it has always kept itself firmly on the cutting edge of electronic music as this release amply demonstrates.
Far Out entered the scene with an unparalleled devotion to the music of Brazil’s past and present, but always with a keen eye on the future of UK dance, sensing a lucrative forward path in the marriage of the two which in many ways was an early precursor to the forward thinking blends of rugged dance sounds and organic, groove anchored jazz-funk, fusion and samba that was characteristic of Masters At Work’s Nuyorican Soul project and later the West London based Broken Beat movement. 
This compilation serves as both a handy sampler and an overview of a myriad of sounds and styles that Far Out has contributed to the worlds of broken beat, hip-hop and beyond. From the intrepid genre-leaping explorations of pioneering veterans Mark Pritchard, IG Culture and 4Hero to alternative hip-hop legend Peanut Butter Wolf to young up-and-comer Ben Hauke, the full spectrum is represented here. 
Simone Seritella’s atmospheric groover ‘Sambalanco’, originally released on Solaria, a subsidiary of Far Out, kicks off proceedings, a rare gem and one that even the label’s most avid followers may be unfamiliar with. On a broken tip, IG Culture’s remix of legendary Azymuth bassist Alex Malheiros’ ‘The Wave’ which marries the worlds of broken beat, hip hop with the sounds of Brazil to stunning effect, while 4hero’s remix of Friends From Rio’s ‘Vera Cruz’ is an exemplary exercise in their uniquely inventive and fearless excursions in grooving funk.
The deeper, more cerebral fare of ‘Lullaby’ and ‘Without You’ come courtesy of Far Out stalwart Troubleman – one of the many guises of Mark Prichard whose overwhelmingly prolific output, spanning the worlds of hip-hop, techno, jungle, funk, dubstep and onward into the experimental dance stratosphere, is close to peerless. Another true dance music original, Theo Parrish, turns in a typically seductive left-field house stepper with his remix of the Far Out Monster Disco Orchestra’s ‘Keep Believing’. Meanwhile, the perpetually funky Quantic’s sunny reworking of Sabrina Malheiros’ ‘Passa’ is a bass heavy RnB banger.  
The tape culminates with remixes of two of Brazil’s most celebrated artists, Azymuth and Marcos Valle. The former’s ‘Manha’ receives a subtle reworking from Stones Throw head honcho Peanut Butter Wolf, while Budgie transforms Valle’s ‘1975’, bringing the tracks futuristic synths to the fore to create a moody late-night boogie classic
Together, the selections on this release provides listeners with the diverse flavours from Far Out’s vital contributions to the global network of beats and forward-thinking groove music that the label has been and continues to be an integral part of.

Some record labels we hold in particularly high regard, and Brighton-based WOLF Music Recordings is absolutely one of them. Forty-nine releases deep since its 2009 birth, WOLF’s catalogue is artistically diverse and made up only of high quality musical produce.

Needless to say, we’ve premiered some WOLF music before, so we’re excited to again have premiere rights to some of their music. This time, we’ve got the A3 track, Keep it H 2000, of their 46th EP, Pedro and Jenna Camille’s This Is What I’m Going Through.

The record features five tracks spanning predominantly jazz and house, scattered and sometimes covered with broken beat and more experimental elements.

Keep it H 2000 brings the voice of Washington DC’s Jenna Camille’s to the fore. This track is probably the EP’s quintessential crossover point between jazz and house. Jenna’s light and amicable voice is held up by the intricate percussion, smooth keys and bass and playful synth melodies of her production partner from Porto, Pedro.

The track is almost straight jazz until toward the end when an off-beat hi-hat cuts a whole new groove into the rhythm, lifting the song out of a smokey jazz-club atmosphere and into something lighter and house-driven.

Special mentions are due to the last two tracks on the record: B1 shows off Pedro’s stylish production skills, while the experimental flare of the EP shines through the ultimate track in its short but sweet 80 seconds. Due for release on July 20, you can bank on this being another notable notch in WOLF’s musical belt.

MIMS is excited to premiere this absolute JAM from emerging artist Raquel Martins. Strong neo soul meets Brazilian inclined jazz from the London-based singer, guitarist and songwriter Raquel Martins.

21 years old singer/songwriter and guitarist Raquel Martins moved to London when she was only 17. The need to express herself through music appeared at a younger age while she was growing up in Portugal. Raised under the sun, she grew up listening to the endless classics from the Brazilian and jazz repertoire, but it was only when she discovered the world of contemporary hip hop, soul and jazz music that she realised she could create something new with all the sounds she had been absorbing over the years.

Influenced by the likes of Hiatus Kaiyote, Amy Winehouse and Brazilian artists Djavan, Milton Nascimento and João Gilberto, her music takes you on a reflective journey through themes such as personal development, purpose and individuality.

While "Real", her debut single, was an ode to new beginnings and to the pursuit of personal identity, "Freedom" portraits the moment where one realises they are no longer going in the right direction. This track describes the process of trying to free yourself from the people and old patterns that are making you drift away from your path. It’s the seek of peace of mind when you realise that you are becoming disconnected from yourself.

Self-released, "Freedom" will be available to stream from February 5th on all streaming platforms, plus download via Bandcamp.
