Thank you for tuning in to our new mix series MUTUAL MIXES. The first installment of the series is also Moe Chakiri's first ever mix on Soundcloud. Moe is our in-house photographer, always coming correct, like with this cover photo. His working title for these soulful 45 minutes was STRAIGHT UP SILK SON.

Enjoy, share, stay tuned. Much love!

I did this track back in 2004 released on Vinyl only(according to the vinyl info on the back). This is the first time I put this track up on this platform. The story goes, this was my first ever paid work as a producer. An honor to of been a part of this release with some people I really looked up to in the business. After a while I will put up the instrumental.

Much of the way in which the world operates today, at a human level, concerns exploitation, using  another’s vulnerability for one’s own benefit, an idea so commonplace we only recognise its ill in the  extremes. From reflection, to acceptance, to hope, ​Forgotten Ones​ delves into the contradictions of  accepting the status quo while identifying it’s shortcomings.

Esencia​ is proud to present ​Forgotten Ones​, the new album from London based quintet Culross Close  (an alias of K15).

​‘Acceptance’  finds the quintet in familiar hip-hop territory, carving out a top tier groove with a recurring piano motif  of the highest order. Their vocals, this time more chant than choral makes for a brilliant 5 minute  mantra.
 
Culross Close​ are:
 
Bass - Eli Emmanuel 
Keys - Anthony Kieron 
Drums - May Goode
Synthesizers - Nathaniel Jiddu
Percussion & Incense - Hasani

The debut single off of the forthcoming LP Adventures From Paradise : A Tribute To Minnie Riperton (vol. 3), Reasons is the Decoders latest offering, tackled beautifully by local LA native songstress Jimetta Rose and featuring a stellar cast of session players from Los Angeles to Sao Paulo, Brazil. 

The Decoders chose to take this classic Minnie track, and transform it into a celebratory, Jorge Ben inspired Afro-Brazilian samba. Featuring Brazilian trombonist Fabio Santana de Souza, and percussion by Te'Amir Sweeney and Steve Haney, this arrangement is yet another tribute to Minnie Riperton's depth of songwriting and musical prowess. 

Stay tuned for more upcoming releases from vol 3! The full length album is due in late Summer/early Fall.
