Man this is so f'ing good - reminding me of The Meters and Parliament a little. That main guitar riff is a funkbeast and so is that bassline.

Isatta Sheriff and Koralle strike again! This time with support from North London rapper, producer and radio presenter Lex Amor. ‘Window Thoughts’ is the second single from the upcoming EP ‘Eat The Kiwi Skin’ by the East London MC and the Bologna-based beat smith. The duo’s first collabo ‘Laid Back’ was released in 2021 as part of Koralle’s album ‘Fonografie’. The artwork was created by Colombian illustrator SagaUno who also did the covers for ‘The Silhouettes Project’ (2020) and Koralle's ‘Beat Kiosk’ (2021). Lex Amor’s critically acclaimed single for The Silhouettes Project together with Bel Cobain was a big success and gained over four million streams to date.

‘Eat The Kiwi Skin’ will be available digital and on LP (including instrumental edits of all tracks for the beat lovers out there) in the fall.

Isatta’s track record includes collabos with Flying Lotus, Oddisee, Arrested Development and Athletic Progression. She is hosting a radio show, runs her own label Doctored Sound and works as a music writer. Koralle is one of the most in demand European beatmakers with a sound rooted in jazz and boom-bap. Since signing with MPM in 2019, he has released three albums and accumulated more than 30 million streams.

"The idea behind 'Hearing Is Seeing' was to take a complex Music Theory device, like serial tonal structures, and make it feel more approachable. 

Along with that, the song was inspired by the idea of synesthesia (the phenomena of seeing sounds), in a few different ways. It’s a nod to the feeling of gaining wisdom, insight, and understanding from being open and listening deeply – but also, to seeing things first and hearing them second. 

Taking a more literal approach to the latter in this case, the harmonic structures that form the base of the song were designed to look aesthetically pleasing on paper. For example, in the chorus, the tonal centers for the chords are spiraling notes circling inward, and then the “B" sections of the song make use of symmetrical modes. 

But, perhaps more importantly – both the top-line and the groove of the track are there to glue it all together – to remind us to not get too caught up in all of the technical stuff that's under the hood here, and to instead just feel it."

Lyrics by MonoNeon 

The other night it was a table for two
Tonight it's a table for one
I can't believe all the fun is done
I guess our party wasn't meant to see the sun
I wanted you to stay till sunrise
Holding you tight because I know it will feel right

It shouldn't be that serious
It shouldn't be that sad
But damn I miss you
I wish our party would've last

The world keeps on spinning, spinning (that's what they tell me)
But I'm gonna' pretend that you didn't leave
Saying your name, saying I love you
Over and over again
Hoping that you hear me wherever you are
Thru my heart and to the stars

It shouldn't be that serious
It shouldn't be that sad
But damn I miss you
I wish our party would've last

She told me that I'm gonna' miss her when she's gone
She told me to think of her when I'm alone

Sometimes it's hard to be alone
But I'm gonna' have a party on my own
Finding my own happines, finding my own happiness

"Cupcakes" is taken from Stimulator Jones' upcoming album "La Mano", releasing on Mutual Intentions early 2021!

"I started by recording myself playing drums on a Tascam 16-track 1” tape machine and ran some of the microphone signals through an Electro-Harmonix Memory Man pedal. I wrote an accompanying part on a Wurlitzer 200 electric piano and added that on top, followed by bass guitar, ARP strings, and a lead synth line. It’s a smooth mellow funk groove for cruising and chilling.”

Stimulator Jones - Cupcakes

Seba Kaapstad announced their upcoming album Konke with the lead single "Our People" featuring Quelle Chris Sept 29th. The album also features Grammy Nominated singer Georgia Anne Muldrow as well as critically acclaimed rapper Oddisee. The multi-national neo-soul/jazz group combines South African, Swazi, U.S. and German elements into their newest global record.

Singers Zoe Modiga and Ndumiso Manana grace the lead vocals over production from Philip Scheibel and band founder Sebastian Schuster.  The record builds upon the foundation they laid with 2019's Thina while adding a relaxed musicality that lets the listener ease into the album. The addition of Hiphop vocalists Quelle Chris and Oddisee, as well as soul/funk singer Georgia Anne Muldrow add another dimension of texture to the already diverse album that sits well among the new breed of soul/jazz/hiphop artists like Robert Glasper, Kamall Williams and Terrace Martin. The new Seba Kaapstad album is out on Mello Music Group Now!
