Te Espero

This album is an autobiographical beat tape. Each track attempts to capture the feeling of the word associated with its title. As a primarily visual artist, this album is like a sonic sketchbook. To capture the essence of early 90's beat tapes, I focused on simple loops and drum breaks.

MIMS gets the scoop on an exciting new jazz song with a hip hop pace,  from Raffy Bushman. Taken from his forthcoming EP on Bridge the Gap, "Look Up" is released on all digital platforms on July 31st. 

London-based pianist and composer, Raffy has gained praise and recognition as musical director of Unit 31, a music and visual arts collective which quickly became an essential destination for the London creative community. He also founded The NuShape Orchestra, for which he wrote a National Theatre commission, later performed at Sundance Film Festival and the Tate Modern. 

Having honed his craft along like-minded musicians over the years, Raffy is now ready to deliver his first EP, the honest and personal story of his lifelong musical journey through Hip Hop, Jazz, Classical, and Gospel, all major voices contributing to his own individual sound. The compositions are beat-heavy, yet they exude the love for adventurous harmonies and delicate textures. The trio, comprised of bassist Tom Driessler and drummer Sam Michnik, blends the roots of jazz with a sultry Hip-Hop ethos. 

""Look Up" is a piece which reminds me to accept life as something which can often be difficult, stressful and painful. All of these things are part of the journey. Don't be afraid. Look up, be brave and keep moving forward"

MIMS is delighted to premiere ​"Something Else", by California-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Paul Grant ​‘Something Else’ . Very laid back, hip hop meets jazz guitar vibes. The swing on the backbeat is also most as infectious as the main guitar motif. The first single from his forthcoming full length solo album, ‘​Waves’, "Something Else" is released on all digital platforms this September 10th via DeepMatter Records.

Having released a collaborative album with vocalist Adrienne Indigo titled​ ‘Rebirth’ ​ earlier this year, ‘Waves’ ​sees Paul Grant return to his instrumental roots with fifteen tracks fusing together influences from the worlds of hip hop, jazz and r&b. In ​‘Something Else’ Paul delivers an RnB inspired slice of serenity featuring atmospheric chords, a groove-heavy bass line and Paul’s signature intricate jazz guitarwork.
 
“90’s RnB was the main influence for this song’s production, I simply added some jazz guitar melodies and chords to the arrangement and there it was. ‘Waves’ is my third solo album, and I think it contains my strongest productions yet. In my opinion, the feeling and intentions behind the songs are more focused and more clear than before. I’m thankful to have great contributions from guest artists Amy Ahn (Waves) and Morgan Burrs (Waiting) on two songs. The record was influenced by many artists, but in particular J Dilla was a big inspiration for many of the songs.
 
Paul Grant is a multi instrumentalist / producer from California who has produced, mixed, and mastered three solo albums (and one collaborative album with Adrienne Indigo). He has worked with a range of talented artists, including Kiefer, Braxton Cook, and Emmavie. His productions draw inspiration from jazz, r & b, and hip hop. In addition to production, he also does session guitar work for other artists.

ANGIS 444

@Tryezz - Terrains

Chattanooga-based artist and producer Jonathan Fowlkes aka Tryezz is the man behind the fourth release of Angis Music. Pursuing music and the arts since 2004, he has created his own all-original unique and eclectic blend of jazz, funk and electronic-based tunes of which he calls “Scenic Grooves”. The idea behind “Terrains” is of exploration. Tryezz takes the listener on an aural journey, travelling through the continuous streams of dreamy and deep vibes, as if exploring different musical terrains in a region unknown. It is like taking a deep dive into one of M.C. Escher's geometrically infinite works of art. Sit back, open your mind and let the journey begin.

Already supported by Mr. Scruff, Kai Alce and Alex Attias.

If you’re into soul music with subtle jazz notes and soothing tones, you’re going to love HUMA.

HUMA - Absence (TS Premiere)

In 2018 Far Out Recordings signed a record deal with Brooklyn born, nomadic producer Jneiro Jarel. Having just put the finishing touches to the recordings, Jarel suffered an ischemic stroke while living and working in Costa Rica and his wife Indigo was forced to set up a crowd fund to cover special medical transport back to the states to receive treatment.

The release was put on hold, but thanks to the generosity of friends and fans around the world, Jarel was able to get the care he needed and is now on the long road to recovery.

We’re overjoyed to finally announce that Jneiro Jarel’s After A Thousand Years is now set for an October 2020 release. Throughout a career that has spanned over twenty years and seen collaborations with MF DOOM, Thom Yorke, Damon Albarn, BadBadNotGood, Portishead’s Beth Gibbons, Kimbra and Khujo Goodie (Dungeon Family), Jneiro Jarel’s consistently distinctive, forward thinking productions, as well as his love for the music of Brazil, made his partnership with Far Out a perfect fit.

Recorded between New York, New Orleans, Miami and Costa Rica, After A Thousand Years features legendary multi-instrumentalist Bill Summers, famed for his work with Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones and Eddie Henderson. The album also features Malawian-American guitarist Masauko Chipembere who has worked with the likes of RZA from Wu- Tang Clan and Ladybug Mecca from Digable Planets. For Jarel, After A Thousand Years is “a culmination of the longstanding musical contributions of the African diaspora.” Permeating the Brazilian music and Latin jazz Jarel has loved and drawn inspiration from, as well as the stateside jazz, soul and funk Jarel grew up around, the influence of Africa and its musical history, on both North and South America, is key to the album’s sound. On lead single “Banana Peel”, Jarel’s outernational perspective makes for a track that is almost impossible to place geographically: you can hear the swing of Jarel’s native New Orleans jazz, the vibrance of Costa Rican rainforests as well as the influence of Jarel’s vast collection of Brazilian records. “Viberian Waves” is equally nonconformist, morphing from funky baroque-flavoured instrumental hip hop into a bossa inspired, percussive jam.

Taking its inspiration from the biblical prophecies found in the books of Isaiah, Daniel, and Revelation, foretelling the fully realized, physical and spiritual restoration of the earth and
mankind after the thousand year reign of the Messianic Kingdom, After A Thousand Years contemplates and celebrates a world where everlasting love, peace, and harmony abound under a sovereign, divine rulership. 

After A Thousand Years will be released on Vinyl LP, CD and digitally on the 30th October 2020 via Far Out Recordings.
