Damián Schwartz’ ''Existence Itself'' is a compilation of well composed melodies that evolve, while gliding over the backbone of dance floor rhythms. Whilst containing five tracks, this record feels and breathes like a full length. ''Public Domain'' shows Schwarz' knowledge of jazz composition. The opening track contains chord progressions that are unusual in popular music, but should soothe a more trained audience. Nevertheless, Public Domain is a positive composition that should appeal to selectors worldwide. 

''Heavy Weather'' is dripping with modulated chords, thoroughly selected bits of FX, and otherworldly arps. Deep rhythmic drum patterns guide the track into alterations of mood and a warm bath of intelligent melodies. ''Tyner'' is a funked-out piece of work that sounds like a perfect PULP records. It's this track where Schwarz shows that he is up there with the giants of modern day funk sounds. Large synth basses growl through the palette, and an oozing lead synth serves as the recognizable element. For the B2, a beatless version of Tyner is added to this package. This should be a welcome and fun element for selectors to play around with. ''Former DJ, Now Selector'' is a breathing, positive track that’s the perfect ending to a versatile work like ‘’Existence Itself’’.

Andrés almost doesn’t need an introduction. But we’re gonna give him one anyway. Mentioned in the same reverential tones as such illustrious names as Hanna (aka Warren Harris), Marcellus Pittman, Rick Wilhite, Theo Parrish and, of course, Kenny Dixon Jr. (aka Moodymann), all collaborators, colleagues and compadres over many years, the long-serving Detroit producer has rocked up on the likes of Mahogani Music, Moods & Grooves, NDATL Muzik and his own imprint La Vida. Many more besides too when you take into account his hip-hop alter ego DJ Dez. Which is why we are super-stoked that he has joined the Hizou family with his house head on for the super-limited EP, All U Gotta Do Is Listen, a master class in downtempo, sun-kissed soulful beats, both the timeless eponymous title track and the funked-up flipside Night Time Is The Right Time.

Tracklist:
A -  All U Gotta Do Is Listen (7:04)
B - Night Time Is the Right Time (6:23)

Exclusive Premiere: Contours & Yadava  "Speaking Through Broken Shells" (Flumo / ANMA)

The second release out on Nothin Personal comes from Melbourne based artist 'Don Glori'.

An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase. Don Glori, AKA Gordon Li, takes this concept and applies it to his name as well as his music. Deconstructing the sounds and elements of the music that he loves and recontextualising them into his own signature sound.

Carefully considered compositions that facilitate heavy doses of improvisation, Don Glori’s music reflects a deep fascination in jazz, house and Brazilian music. Tied together by his inimitable spirit and dedication to making it groove.

‘Dawn Calling’ is Don Glori’s first offering to the world, recorded live to tape over two sweltering summer days in February 2020, it captures Don Glori and his band at their best. They wear their influences proudly - touching on elements of jazz, broken- beat, house and Brazilian music. The record traverses between melancholic, textural landscapes with spiritual jazz overtones through to enchanting group vocals and again metamorphosing into synth laden grooves built entirely around the rhythm- centric marriage of the bass and drums.

Pre-order available on Nothin Personal's bandcamp come 13 November- https://nothin-personal.bandcamp.com/music
