Genre: Ambient / Electronica

The debut EP „Inch“ by Betweenness (@betweenness ) aka Jörgen Gustafsson from Jönköping (Sweden) delights us with fantastic synthesizer music that could be taken straight out of the movie Blade Runner.

In his colorful compositions, he combines fuzzy and warm textures with lyrical melodies and contemporary chord changes, still yet in a steady motion. The result is a contemplative and delicate Ambient / Electronica EP, perfect for your coming space trip to Saturn. 

In his captivating remix of „Agren“, Sau Poler ( @sau-poler ) re-directs our space trip to Detroit and creates a dreamy uptempo House version including a syncopated marching snare drum and funky Hi-Hats.

Agren & Agren remix is now out!

The rest of the EP will be out on the 7th of May! 

Bon Voyage!

[MAGIC022] Betweenness - Agren (Sau Poler Remix)

‘Caminhos’ is a tribute to the late samba singer and composer Sebastião Victorino Teixeira Dos Santos, better known as Catoni. The heavy swinging hip hop track bridges gaps between classic Brazilian samba sounds with hard hitting Dilla-esque grooves, raw funk and boom bap, taking us on a trip to the shores of Rio de Janeiro.
lyrics
Em que linha do horizonte meu olhar se embaraçou
Em que caminho de fonte a minha sede secou
Que estrada que prendeu na poeira os meus passos
Que noite acendeu no meu corpo o cansaço

Nothing Feels Like Everything

Heron feat. Miryam Solomon

The Brkn Record is a new project led and produced by Jake Ferguson, the co-founder and bass player for the UK’s foundational deep jazz outfit the Heliocentrics. With fellow Heliocentrics co-founder and legendary drummer Malcolm Catto, Ferguson has been a regular collaborator with globally recognised artists including Archie Shepp, Mulatu Astatke, Melvin Van Peebles, Orlando Julius and many others.

The Architecture of Oppression Part 1 represents Ferguson’s debut as a bandleader and orchestrator, and manifests as a committed and soulful response to ongoing and systemic anti-black racism, social oppression and state violence both at home in London and across the globe. Combining poetry, testimony and song with rich and cinematic backdrops, Ferguson has produced a sui generis sound that conjures flavours of Arthur Verocai, Ennio Morricone, classic library productions, Madlib-style deep-jazz beat science, and psychedelic soul. With bandmate Malcolm Catto on drums, Ferguson draws on their long years of collaborative experience in the Heliocentrics to build an album of striking texture and depth. 

But the album does not only reflect Ferguson’s full-spectrum musical prowess, experience and vision. It is equally a manifestation of his longstanding and high-profile work as a frontline activist for racial justice and social equity in London and beyond.

Alongside Malcom Catto, contributors to the album are drawn from the intersecting worlds of community activism, cultural education, politics and music, and include singer and political activist Jermain Jackman, Zara MacFarlane; Chicagoan activist, poet and singer Ugochi Nwaogwugwu; Lee Jasper, longstanding worker for racial justice and former advisor on equalities to the Mayor of London; acclaimed performance poet Dylema; Hackney community leader Janette Collins MBE and Leroy Logan MBE, founder and former chair of the Black Police Association, and the subject of Steve McQueen’s Small Axe episode ‘Red, White and Blue’.

The Architecture of Oppression Part 1 is a singular and urgent chronicle of the black British experience, an upful expression of Pan-African creative unity and community solidarity, and a militant and unbending missive from the frontline in the great tradition of The Impressions’ This Is My Country, Irreversible Entanglements Who Sent You?, Max Roach’s We Insist - Freedom Now Suite, or Linton Kwesi Johnson’s Bass Culture.

A broken record repeats itself, and never plays through – the music is interrupted or trapped in a cycle by damage to the grooves. But The Brkn Record is a work of healing and protection, and a chance to let the full story be heard – all the way to the end, no skips.

A decade is a long time in music, but it feels less epic when the music in question is timeless, picturesque and immersive. This is one of the reasons why NuNorthern Soul, a label founded to champion music with feeling – or, if you prefer, “music you can listen to, but in the right context also dance to”, as founder Phil Cooper puts it – arrives at its tenth birthday in ruder health than ever.

DC Promo Tracks #932: Frank Cogliano "Peace 2"

KETE ft. Joy Tyson

French born Alex Arslan, and Italian Riccardo Pirotto met somewhere in Berlin years ago and then decided to make music as Panna Cotta, and having the self titled Mini LP on Marcel Vogels Lumberjacks In Hell label  in my hands I must say it was a good decision to do so. It is hard to describe any genre the duo serves, the productions are sitting somewhere between sultry disco and polished pop with an electronic feel to it. For my personal taste the majority of the tracks has a Balearic edge, and that’s outstanding these days.

Opener ‘Tasting Sugar’ takes us on a psychedelic cosmic journey, while ‘Sweet’ picks up the yacht rock pace a touch. ‘Childhood’ with its slo-mo vibrations, encourage the dancers to sway, while ‘Nobody’ surprises with its broken beat breakdown and impressive drum solo.  For those of you who expect another Chaka Khan cover with  ‘I Feel Love’ plays with analog synths and steady drums, with flecks of acid beneath the uplifting vocal, all floating along on a killer groove.‘ Sunrise’ allows the honeyed vocal harmonies to take centre stage amidst the blissed-out soundscape, the remix of label honcho Marcel Vogel with its sweet acidic elements and funkiness is my pick of the lot. All in all a very special outing!

Between 2006 and 2008 i (Tonic) made a few edits on a label called 'Mindless Boogie' under a few different names (Tonic, Skinny Joey, Rubber Room). The label was vinyl only, so the tracks are pretty hard to find by now. It's a shame to let them go to waste, so here they are... Go and multiply!
