About: Erik Escobar - New Brazilian Trio EP - TLM027

https://www.juno.co.uk/products/erik-escobar-new-brazilian-trio-ep/865036-01/

A1 - Arcanjo Miguel:
This song is dedicated to a great friend, more than a friend, a brother and a great drummer and percussionist Miguel Assis. An extremely talented musician and a human being who is dedicated to doing good for people.

A2 - Chick:
Chick is also one of my main references; Along with Michel, Hermeto, Herbie, Zawinul, McCoy and other great pianists and composers I love so much. I was still a child, entering adolescence, then suddenly someone lent me a vinyl record in 1991/92 of the album The Chick Corea Elektric Band. It was a shock to hear and came to define that I would like to be a pianist and keyboard player forever. The song “Chick” was inspired by a video lesson by Chick. Much love to Chick's family. Thank you so much for everything, Maestro Chick!

AA1 - Samba for Petrucciani:
Michel Petrucciani is one of my biggest references. This song was inspired by a song called “Bite”; A samba-jazz by Michel Petrucciani. I was shocked to hear it for the first time on the Michel Petrucciani Live album in a white and blue cover. Much love for the Petrucciani family.

AA2 - Maraca - Funk
This song is a fusion of a Brazilian rhythm called “Maracatu” with Funk in the style of Herbie with The Headhunters. Herbie is my biggest influence and main reference. It's everything I wanted to be as an adult! I love you, maestro Herbie Hancock!

AA3 - Change of Plan:
This song is dedicated to the memory of my father, Freddy Escobar, my mentor, who “changed his plans prematurely” because of Covid-19. One of the biggest pains of my life. Daddy was a very good guy as a human being and, I believe he didn't die, because good people don't die, they just change planes, when the physical body doesn't work right anymore. I love you forever, Daddy.

This is the New Brazilian Trio EP because this trio with Miguel Assis and Michael Pipoquinha was born, initially for this record. But it became a project, a band and not just the “Erik Escobar show”. I intend to keep this trio forever, I love these wonderful guys and I have a deep admiration for them as musicians and as human beings.

Thank you very much for the opportunity of this partnership with Ten Lovers Music, so that this project could be born, my friend Steve!

God bless you so much!

Wonderprince - October 2022

New music today from Agile Experiments, true believers of the freedom principle, who live up to their reputation for having the heaviest abstract grooves on "if you believe”. 

Taken from forthcoming album, ‘These Are Time For Mind And Spirit’, which sees the ever-evolving Agile Experiments return with their sharpest record to date, "if you believe" patiently unravels over a uniquely voiced drum groove building toward ecstatic echo walls of layered saxophone bliss. 

The de facto leader of Agile Experiments, and sole constant, is drummer, bassist and producer, Dave De Rose. Whilst incredibly busy recording and self-releasing albums, he also finds time to record and tour with Gnawa fusionists, Electric Jalaba, and has performed alongside the likes of Mulatu Astatke and Róisín Murphy.

According to Dave De Rose, "this title (if you believe) is stolen from a Meshell Ndegeocello lyric "if you believe that your god is better than another man, how will we end all your suffering?"... I'm often thinking about belief, whether in religious or non religious contexts. I made up my own belief over the years. It's not static belief, it's flexible and evolves with me and my understanding of life as I carry on gaining information. It borrows from old faith systems and mixes them with scientific research not belonging to either. Always open. This track is mysterious, it builds in a subtle, constant manner, small details keep bubbling in showing you a bigger picture before it dissipates. You can pay attention or you can just let it sweep over you, just like life and belief in things we don't understand".

De Rose is joined by Jon Scott (of Go Go Penguin) on drums and George Crowley (of Melt Yourself Down) on saxophone and machines. Together they pursue the perfect meeting point between free improvisation, irresistible groove and enveloping sound. 

‘These Are Time For Mind And Spirit’ is Agile Experiments' 11th release in four years. This fertile communal project continues to proliferate without repeating itself due to its creative methodology, receiving support across BBC Radio 6 Music, The Wire, Jazzwise, Worldwide FM and NTS. 

Agile Experiments is a method of creation rather than a band; The setting of a frame of mind that encourages the musicians to unleash their utmost creativity placing no limit on their imagination. This absolute freedom increases the will of the musicians to give their most selfless self, guiding the musical direction of the recordings collectively through original pathways that are beneficial to artist and listener alike.

112 KBPS FILES - DON'T BE A DUNCE!

Stream & Buy - https://razor-n-tape.fanlink.to/CoreceExtended

Following the digital release of Cor.ece’s debut EP, RNT drops the Dance To Keep From Crying 12” with fresh extended versions and unheard remix treatments.

The title track blends deep proto-house influence with Cor.ece’s soulful vocal twists, evoking late-80s Paradise Garage and an extended dubby synth exploration. The Danny Kane-produced What’s The Word gives deep late nite Larry Heard vibes, and on the flip Crackazat takes Possibly Impossible into a world of blissful deep & stripped jazzy house with his dub version. JKriv extends the original version of Possibly Impossible into a DJ-friendly electro soul romp.

As a digital bonus track, London-born, Maryland-raised, Brooklyn-based DJ Bad Colours twists What’s The Word into an elongated afro-house groover, chopping Cor.ece’s vocals into a hypnotic rhythm.
