Following on from the recent LCSM remix EP, CoOp Presents continue with more certified bruk heat for 2021 - this one seeing the return of EVM128 and an all-new EP entitled ‘Dance Don’t Sleep’. Some sound advice.

A core-member of the Selectors Assemble crew, EVM128 is also co-label boss of the Dance Regular imprint and has had releases in the past on labels such as BBE, Studio Rockers, Local Talk, Rhythm Section, Wah Wah 45s and Tru Thoughts, amongst others.

As well as being nice behind the boards, he's an amazing Selector, playing regularly on the crew's Worldwide FM show, as well as Netil Radio monthly and past plays for Boiler Room and Dimensions Festival, with his eclectic blends of bruk, soul, jazz, house, garage, hip hop, ragga, afrobeat, UK funky and bass music.

EVM previously featured on the Selectors Assemble EPs - the track ‘Gamma Riddim’ in particular is still being rinsed in dances a few years later. His last release 'Bun Dat' appeared on the label's first compilation, ‘Plug One’, released late in 2020 and kicked off the year with a set of remixes of the same track.

‘Dance Don’t Sleep’ begins with the title track, setting off with Detroit-esque pads and JA clash samples, before a moderate-paced brukbeat kicks in accompanied by some squelchy synths and some sneaky breaks. Next is ‘Tell Me’ featuring the sweet soulful talents of Natalie May atop a percussive groove, gliding keys and bleeps. ‘UK Brukers’ follows (a play on UK Rockers), and it’s more bruk-step laced with ragga samples and a deep sub riding throughout, then into ‘Jazz Drumz’, which provides what it says on the tin - shuffling kits ride alongside piano and rhodes, all with EVM’s unique flavour. We close out with ‘Desert Island Bruk’; an off-kilter riddim with a slight UK Funky feel, completing a very dope 5-tracks that should ensure that you’re dancing, not sleeping.

As with the previous CoOp Presents release, this digital EP is again accompanied by some mind-blowing artwork by Mo Fingaz & Bee Graphics for Blood, presenting another genius part of the new CoOp universe.

With monthly releases stacked up for the rest of 2021, expect plenty more goodness to come from the CoOp Presents label imminently. Watch we work.

About: Erik Escobar - New Brazilian Trio EP - TLM027

https://www.juno.co.uk/products/erik-escobar-new-brazilian-trio-ep/865036-01/

A1 - Arcanjo Miguel:
This song is dedicated to a great friend, more than a friend, a brother and a great drummer and percussionist Miguel Assis. An extremely talented musician and a human being who is dedicated to doing good for people.

A2 - Chick:
Chick is also one of my main references; Along with Michel, Hermeto, Herbie, Zawinul, McCoy and other great pianists and composers I love so much. I was still a child, entering adolescence, then suddenly someone lent me a vinyl record in 1991/92 of the album The Chick Corea Elektric Band. It was a shock to hear and came to define that I would like to be a pianist and keyboard player forever. The song “Chick” was inspired by a video lesson by Chick. Much love to Chick's family. Thank you so much for everything, Maestro Chick!

AA1 - Samba for Petrucciani:
Michel Petrucciani is one of my biggest references. This song was inspired by a song called “Bite”; A samba-jazz by Michel Petrucciani. I was shocked to hear it for the first time on the Michel Petrucciani Live album in a white and blue cover. Much love for the Petrucciani family.

AA2 - Maraca - Funk
This song is a fusion of a Brazilian rhythm called “Maracatu” with Funk in the style of Herbie with The Headhunters. Herbie is my biggest influence and main reference. It's everything I wanted to be as an adult! I love you, maestro Herbie Hancock!

AA3 - Change of Plan:
This song is dedicated to the memory of my father, Freddy Escobar, my mentor, who “changed his plans prematurely” because of Covid-19. One of the biggest pains of my life. Daddy was a very good guy as a human being and, I believe he didn't die, because good people don't die, they just change planes, when the physical body doesn't work right anymore. I love you forever, Daddy.

This is the New Brazilian Trio EP because this trio with Miguel Assis and Michael Pipoquinha was born, initially for this record. But it became a project, a band and not just the “Erik Escobar show”. I intend to keep this trio forever, I love these wonderful guys and I have a deep admiration for them as musicians and as human beings.

Thank you very much for the opportunity of this partnership with Ten Lovers Music, so that this project could be born, my friend Steve!

God bless you so much!

Erik Escobar
