"This is dedicated to the politicians who have forced refugees into life-threatening decisions. Pushing people into the hands of traffickers, into small boats and too many beneath the waves of our seas. Who stoke fears to create a place of more cruelty and persecution instead of assylum. It won't be forgotten and it won't be forgiven."

In the last few weeks of October 2022 Scrimshire wrote a new collection of songs with the working title "Scream". A direct response to the absurdity of the breakdown in the UK government, the horror of the treatment of refugees arriving on our shores and the callous disregard for the trauma being caused to low income people or anyone considered "other". While self-preserving conservative MPs fought for their jobs, while record profits were announced by energy companies, as they were gouging crippling amounts of money from people's pockets. How does a society stop the callousness and corruption from seeping into its bones? 

The anger, sadness, mourning, frustration was poured into these recordings.

Chien Méchant - The Mirror

“Pasitos Jaguari” is the 3rd single of Okvsho’s long-awaited upcoming album “A place between us". It is a unique blend of Brazilian Baile Funk, Jazz, and Akira’s anyway unique vocals.

“Pasitos Jaguari has its origins in Johannesburg, where we experimented
with fusing the Baile Funk rhythm with Jazz elements. We played a very different sounding version of the track at the Bushfire Festival in Eswatini with saxophonist Sisonke Xonti and it was an instant crowd favorite. Back in Zurich we tried to recreate what happened at that gig but we failed grandiosely... We almost gave up on the idea, when it came to our minds that Akira might be the right person to transform it into a vocal track. Few days later he stepped into our studio and from then on the process went really effortlessly and Pasitos Jaguari was born.”

JOLIES CHANSONS (ft. Cosmic Batwota)

Ténéré - JOLIES CHANSONS (ft. Cosmic Batwota)

OH YOU FANCY

‘Entre Chien et Loup’ is the third single and final taster of Project Gemini’s much anticipated, forthcoming second album Colours & Light. A Francophile-flavoured waltz through the depths of emotion, anguish and escape, served up through the lens of Project Gemini’s cinematic style. Featuring the vocal elegance of Gloria’s Wendy Martinez and guitar solo grit of Wolf People/Large Plants’ Jack Sharp, the beauty of the music is also wrapped up in the pain of its context. Shades of darkness, studded with pockets of light.

Having gained a great 6 Music reception with the title track and second single, Colours & Light, Project Gemini aka Paul Osborne presents one of two album cuts that Lyon-based Wendy Martinez features on. Having sent through the instrumental of ‘Entre Chien et Loup’, Paul mentions: “When Wendy sent me back the beautiful vocal parts she’d written, I was completely blown away. She’d totally elevated the track to another level. Lyrically, it documents an individual escaping a destructive relationship, and the song title (‘between dog and wolf’ a well-known French phrase used to describe dusk/twilight) was absolutely perfect. Jack Sharp added the finishing touches with his mesmerising guitar solo.”

Sweeping and celestial, the Francophile touch is heightened by Paul’s analogue saturated, Mellotron playing and the percussive tactility of Eleven 76/Call Sender’s Paul Elliott. A wandering bassline and the expert drumming of Sababa 5’s Raz Man, anchor the track further to its earthly nature.

Project Gemini - Entre Chien Et Loup

Recorded as part of a four-day session at Berlin’s Brewery Studios with a cast of close collaborators from both Budapest and Berlin’s vibrant jazz scenes, Destruction Everywhere marks the beginning of a new chapter for Àbáse.

The track features Ziggy Zeitgeist (30/70) on drums, Ori Jacobson on saxophone, flautist Fanni Zahár, Andras Koroknay on bass and Ghanaian percussionist Eric Owusu. The release brings in an era of partnership with Analogue Foundation, who are dedicated to preserving and furthering analogue creation via record releases, international events, and activities at its recording studio and hi-fi listening bar. The Foundation is headed up by Grammy-winning New York City recording and mixing engineer Russel Elvado, Soundwalk Collective, and Berlin recording and mix engineer Erik Breuer.
