The Yard Work Simulator

Max Graef & Glenn Astro - 'The Yard Work Simulator'

Taken from the forthcoming album 8R1CK C17Y

PRE-ORDER = https://22amusic.bandcamp.com/album/8r1ck-c17y

22a017 has arrived and it sees two of London’s most celebrated underground producers enter into album territory.

Comprised of ten cuts ‘Brick City’ takes the listener on a journey through Afro-House, Funk, Rare Groove, Boogie and Broken Beat to name a few. Tunes like ‘Brick City (4am)’ and ‘Butterfly’ groove effortlessly whilst synth leads interject over tasty chords, all the while being supported by solid bass lines – these two will undoubtedly set a strong pace on the dancefloor. ‘Funky Booda’ does exactly what it says on the tin, it’s a straight Funk classic! Its infectious groove and soaring leads are sure to have you clapping your hands and stomping your feet. ‘Be Ur Friend’ is a fiery Afro-House number - reminiscent of one of Tenderlonious's early releases ‘Bob’s Riddim.’ With a slow build, the listener is teased until finally the drums drop and all hell breaks loose – another dancefloor winner! There’s also more hip-hop inspired selections like ‘Brick City (4pm)’ or ‘Pepe’s Walk,’ which bump hard and have strong traces of Sa-Ra and J Dilla influence.

The record comes complete with quirky skits like ‘Bootsy’ and ‘Ferndale Gateaux,’ which blend in and out between the other tunes allowing the record to flow effortlessly from beginning to end.

There is something for everyone on this album. It’s the kind of record you can play at home from start to finish or take out to the club as an essential dancefloor filler. It pays homage to the 22a ethos, it has mass appeal and yet still maintains a high level of quality!

In short this album solidifies the duos ability to make great music with their own signature sound, unique to their world and lifestyle.

2017 is all about 8R1CK C17Y!

From the album "The Fisherman Abides" - out NOW on Alpha Pup Records: BreathingEffect.lnk.to/TheFishermanAbides
On September 29th, The Breathing Effect will release their sophomore album The Fisherman Abides, returning with Los Angeles based Alpha Pup Records for its release across vinyl, CD, cassette, and digital platforms. Following up the success of their debut album Mars Is A Very Bad Place For Love, The Breathing Effect's songwriting approach has become more vivid and pronounced with their new effort, offering a wider extension of their vision. Powerful harmonies and vocal cadences glide over dynamic drum grooves and bass lines, extending their personal lives into the DNA of every sound across the new works.

Capturing the entirety of The Fisherman Abides at the Cosmic Zoo recording studio in Los Angeles with renowned engineer Daddy Kev, the duo completed tracking in the span of just one week. With singer/keyboardist Eli Goss residing in Los Angeles and drummer/bassist Harry Terrell located in New York, the logistics of putting together the new album were intensified from the condensed window offered. Committing to twelve-hour sessions each day, they had the Cosmic Zoo locked down. The results of this focused effort offer a unique snapshot of the musical prowess they express with their collaborative project. It also exemplifies the tactical and complex approach when a window to capture large scale ideas is so small. 

Conceptually, The Fisherman Abides began with a poem Eli Goss wrote while sitting on the Venice Beach pier on a cold day in January of 2016. As Eli began to study his environments and the many different intersecting forms of life, inspiration transferred into the written form, and the name for their new album was created. "The title is the last line of the poem," explains Eli Goss, "which has a loose meaning. A state where one remarks on the very subtle and simple parts of life that are profound once you acknowledge them. The beauty in the intricate web of events all occurring simultaneously, waiting to be observed and admired." 

This had a direct effect on the impressions they walked away with while looking at the aerial view of the album's meaning and its connection to their personal lives. "When that idea translated to lyrics and songwriting," Eli Goss adds, "it started to shift into feelings of solitude and introspection. Reflecting on your personal place in that intricate web, and watching yourself be changed by it."

The eight songs that comprise The Fisherman Abides present a multitude of genre types, blending together soul, rock, and jazz in a completely new form. A panoramic lens is offered in tone, emotion, and vibe, where one can find a sleek and propulsive moment in one instance and a magical and gentle one in the next. Truly a sound all their own, The Fisherman Abides continues the legacy of The Breathing Effect at Alpha Pup Records.

"Pushing boundaries in several spectras, this collection of beautifully sculpted musical pieces represent the differences and uniquenesses in all of us. How it can provoke us and still bring us together 

Beyond shallow exteriors we are all the same, and perhaps we need to be provoked in order to remember this. We wish for nothing more than for this Gathering to spring these emotions in every one atleast once 

As we are all one, PPP one love <3 Pom Peri Posse family"

Celebrating its 25th anniversary, Far Out Recordings proudly presents two albums of previously unheard Azymuth demo recordings from 1973-75

Since their debut album release in 1975, Azymuth have risen to rank alongside the world’s greatest jazz, funk and fusion artists. As young men in Rio de Janeiro, they stood out for both their exceptional talent as musicians, and their wild rock ‘n’ roll antics in the predominantly middle-class worlds of bossa nova and jazz. Their signature ‘Samba Doido’ (crazy samba) sound ruptured the tried and tested musical structures of the day, resulting in what can only be described as an electric, psychedelic, samba jazz-funk hybrid.
But before they became Azymuth, Jose Roberto Bertrami (keyboards), Ivan ‘Mamão’ Conti (drums), Alex Malheiros (bass) and Ariovaldo Contesini (percussion) played backing band to just about every major artist in Brazil.

Bertrami was also contracted as an arranger and songwriter at some the biggest labels of the era: Polydor, Philips, Som Livre, and EMI being just a few. Azymuth’s name can be found on record sleeves by the likes of Jorge Ben, Elis Regina, Marcos Valle, Ana Mazzotti and countless others. But at the dawn of the seventies, fascinated by developments in improvisational music - from jazz in the US, to progressive rock in the UK and of course samba, bossa and tropicália on home turf - the energetic young group were inspired and ready to move forward.Any spare moment in which they weren’t in sessions and writing music for other artists, they would be carving out their own sound.

These previously unheard recordings took place between 1973-75 at Bertrami’s home studio in the Laranjeiras district of Rio de Janeiro. At the time of recording, there was nothing in Brazil, less the world that sounded anything like them, so perhaps it’s unsurprising that when Bertrami presented his demos to the record companies he had been working for, he was turned away, and told in effect that the music was ‘wrong’.

One of the demos ‘Manhã’ would be picked up by Som Livre and Azymuth released their seminal debut album in 1975. Throughout the late seventies and eighties, the group released a series of now classic albums for Milestone Records, before taking an indefinite hiatus to pursue their individual careers.
When English producers Joe Davis and Roc Hunter arrived in Brazil in 1994 to record the first Azymuth album in over a decade, Bertrami dug out the demos which had sat virtually untouched for over twenty years. Joe recalls how he was “blown away by the freedom and intensity of the music, as well as the genius of the ideas musically.” Beginning a long and fruitful relationship, ‘Prefacio’ would be the first track Azymuth recorded for Far Out Recordings and was released on the Carnival album (1996).

Along with ‘Manhã’ and ‘Prefacio’, only a handful of these demos were ever professionally recorded and released, making this the first opportunity to hear many of these early Azymuth compositions in their raw, original form.

On every track the frenetic energy in the studio is palpable, giving the recordings a beautifully personal feel and a sense of the phenomenally creative vision Bertrami, Malheiros and Conti were realising at the time. Fifty years on, Azymuth’s earliest recorded music retains an ineffable, futuristic quality, standing amongst their most captivating and moving work.
