Broken beat pioneer, Afronaut, returns in full force for Brighton's long established purveyors of fine sounds, Tru Thoughts, with a lesson in dancefloor rocking production.

Afronaut, aka Orin Walters,  founding member of both the bruk supergroup Bugz in the Attic and the pioneering trio Neon Phusion, makes his debut on Tru Thoughts with club-stomper “How It Goes”. 

Following on from his collaboration with mentee and “honorary Bug" WheelUP on the summer-groove “Good Love”, “How It Goes” is the start of a partnership between the bruk legend and Tru Thoughts, a label whose output has been known for championing the West London Sound.

Tru Thoughts honcho had this to say about working with Orin: “I have always been a big fan of Afronaut and many of his songs have been anthems at my club residencies in Brighton. Orin has been mentoring WheelUP so to connect through that album has led to Tru Thoughts now working with him on some forthcoming releases which are sounding amazing. Orin is still pushing musical boundaries and this track is just the start.”

"How It Goes" by Afronaut is out this week. We can't wait to hear what's the next, but we'll certainly be rocking this in the meantime.

Exclusive Premiere: Afronaut "How It Goes" (Forthcoming on Tru Thoughts)

Broken beat meets house on Beau Zwart's brand new dance floor banger, "Varispit". Taken from Boogie Cafe Records' new compilation 'Rotterdam On The Move'.

Pre pandemic, Boogie Cafe released a compilation of various emerging artists from Bologna titled 'Bologna On The Move' . This time the focus is on a new wave of amazingly talented producers coming through from Rotterdam NL. The album is dedicated to the more soulful, jazz influenced sound emerging from the city, in contrast to the city's reputation for techno, electro and the harder edge of dance culture.

Artists featured on 'Rotterdam On The Move' include the increasingly prolific bruk acolyte Kofi The Unknown, soulful house head Dikkens, the multi-talented Sykes and of course, Beau Zwart. 

Beau is a Rotterdam based artist, producer, filmcomposer and DJ. He combines his classical background with jazz, house and experimental electronica.

Beau Zwart's track is a fine slab of effervescent broken beat. 'Zarispit' boasts wonderfully crisp drums, a weighty bassline, heady organ stabs, and some quirky electronic touches.

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.

Here is a taster from the soon to drop Roise From The Block EP, coming to you exclusively via the Selectors Assemble Soundcloud. Shout out to Vice City records!

Whilst her Roselien moniker has been rushing through the London jazz, soul and rnb scene by various live shows downtown and her monthly "La Vie En Rose" radio show on Totally Wired Radio in the east side of town, her newest project Rosie From The Block is coming out of the blue on your favourite cities' label with refreshing but sharp broken beats, soulful and gospel like vocals along with a strong message and a soft touch of herself.

She already caught attention and support from big names worldwide such as Lefto, Erica McKoy and Reggie Watts, a remix done by Broken Beat's leading artist Kaidi Tatham and done support shows for Gregory Porter, Meshel Ndegeocello, The Jones Girls, Bilal and Gabriel Garzon Montano, Roselien is at least Belgium's hardest working girl within her niche.

As Roselien, her vocals were always the leading factor in her music, but Rosie From The Block shows her tougher side within by giving the full attention to her instrumentals and adding lyrics in function of her jams.

The lush and mellow floater she gave the name “you are loved” is a confirmational necessity for anyone in need. Strong drum accompany her carefully chosen chords down a slide of endorphins.

Movin' On

Get Ready for a wild journey into cosmic tech funk. When Johnny talks funk, he doesn't refer to borrowed ideas but to the very roots of the funk, that being psychedelic 1970s funk. You will hear this old school flavour but also daring and adventurous interpretations of it fused with modern phat tech synth sounds. Enjoy!!!

Escape The Matrix

We are extremely excited to be first to share this incredible new song with you. Emanative and Liz Elensky present a very special take on one of their and our favourite Flying Lotus songs, “Tea Leaf Dancers”.

Emanative is drummer and producer Nick Woodmansey, best known for spiritual jazz albums and releases on labels such as Brownswood, The Steve Reid Foundation and Jazzman Records, as well as flirting with things more electronic. (Also responsible for co-producing and mixing records for artists such as Sarathy Korwar & Collocutor).

Liz Elensky is a vocalist, lyricist and vocal arranger who has been involved with Emanative since the beginning of his project back in 2006, as well as with many other live and recording projects.

With “Tea Leaf Dancers”, Nick and Liz put a fresh, outer space samba spin on the FlyLo classic. Elensky’s hauntingly beautiful vocals float above Nick’s live drums and programmed beats, supported by synth & percussive contributions from good friend and Emanative percussionist, Vince Vella illuminating the celebrations down below.

Regarding working with Nick, also her husband, Liz tells us, “working together with someone who knows you so deeply and multi-dimensionally made it easier to go wherever we fancied in terms of experimentation and expression. To be open minded and open hearted was for sure one of the intentions, another was to have fun!”

Nick adds, "Liz has always been involved with Emanative ever since the very beginning, but somehow it was never the right time to feature her 100% until NOW! Life will always get in the way, there is never that perfect time where the universe allows you the time, money, inspiration and head space - you seem to need to get the ball rolling against all odds, and then the universe works with you and enables this to come into being. I don't think Liz realises how much I love her voice and lyrical observations."

Vince Vella has contributed to several other Emanative productions, most recently lending additional hypnotic synth for Nick's remix of Sarathy Korwar’s “Birthright”. Having studied in Cuba and Brazil, he has a deep knowledge of their rhythms. This has led to his working with an impressive list of Cuban artists, and co-producing Gilles Peterson's Havana Cultura series, whilst remixing the likes of The Comet Is Coming and 4 Hero. This made him the perfect choice as a collaborator on this new take on “Tea Leaf Dancers”.

Available to download exclusively on Bandcamp as of today, before hitting all streaming platforms January 22, “Tea Leaf Dancers” is the second of three singles taken from the forthcoming new Emanative & Liz Elensky album “The Volume Of The Light”. Released on Home Planet on March 5th on digital and limited edition vinyl, it is available to preview and pre-order now on Bandcamp.

Layered up sweet, sultry, soulful vocals provided by Kennedy John Charles, receive a royally ordained Bruk revamp from man of the moment EVM128 (CoOp/Selector’s Assemble)... A neat fit for Broken beat and house heads DJs, plus dancers.

Needs must for folks who check for the sounds by Vikter Duplaix, Atjazz, Ne-Grove, Afronaut and SMBD. DJ Marcia Carr [Girlz B Like/Rinsefm]

Kennedy and EVM first met at the Boiler Room CoOp Special back in 2016 and they spoke, Kenedy said he wants EVM to do a mix for him one day, EVM said yeah bring it come, and so it happened, albeit 5 years later! But you know what they say, good things come to those who wait!

The Original track in question is called FUN , a naughty sexy house track primed at the dancefloor. It features the vocals and songwriting of Kennedy who has always been around music through his family and soundsystem culture and has previously worked with Steve Nichols (Loose Ends) among others. 

Kennedy said it was a dream to get EVM in the mix on this track as he wanted it to connect with the Broken Beat movement having been following the scene for many years as a dancer. They both share a passion in pushing this UK heritage sound of Broken Beat also known as 'Bruk" 

The remix is a sticky House tune with a Bruk twist. EVM is alumni of CoOp Presents, a label and club night run by IG Culture and Alex Phountzi. This one is for those basement sessions... big speakers, a red light and a whole load of fun !

It will be available exclusively on the Kennedy John Charles Bandcamp
