CNPY MXTP 2021-2024 Pt 1

Brazilian singer and songwriter releases a new album of exuberant and vintage tropical pop music.

Somewhere, we get back to the carioca João Selva where we left him: sailing on the mythical Black Atlantic to create exhilarating music whose vibrations invite us to Rio, the Brazilian Northeast, the Caribbean, Cape Verde or even Angola. His latest album, “Navegar” (2021), acclaimed by critics, is an invigorating dance and dream machine that updates the tropicalist revolution of the 70s by offering a turbulent mix of samba, soul, jazz and funk.

Continuing to spread wings with “Passarinho” (2023), this time it is flying like a bird that the singer from Ipanema takes us into his musical universe, always as sunny as it is abundant. The 10 tracks of this new album span a generous palette of musical influences: from Angolan semba to Cape Verdean funaná, via Caribbean zouk or Congolese rumba – João Selva's music channels the musical pulse of the Black Atlantic. In the most (im)pure Brazilian tradition, he also digests the contribution of North American music and freely incorporates elements from elsewhere into the irresistible rhythms of Brazil.

Prolonging a fruitful collaboration with french producer Bruno Patchworks, this new LP is full of sound nuggets and offers a wide range of emotions and sensations. The contagious optimism of "Cantar cantar" backed by a radiant groove worthy of the best productions by Marcos Valle or Joao Donato. Psychedelic folk as Devendra Banhart on "Mar de estrelas" or "Cirandinha" often carried by orchestral arrangements which bring an unexpected freshness to this bewitching album. Of course, we do not give up to party on the irresistible “Seu Carnaval” or “Menina me encanta” and we dance with the rain in “Chuva”. In a more deep mood, the song "Por um amor" evokes the romantic relationship with psychedelia and sensuality.

After two years “without Carnival”, the Brazilian songwriter has chosen to celebrate hope and the joy of being alive in these lyrics written largely during successive confinements. In the title song “Passarinho” he wonders: how can a little bird keep singing in a cage? Before answering it on "Cantar cantar" by recalling that "when things are bad, you just have to sing that it already goes a little better". Universal and captivating poetry that drives songs that are both sensual and catchy. Ultimately, an album made to spread wings and fly high, the ideal soundtrack to offset a certain saudade and feel free as a little bird.

Longtime friends and musical collaborators Max Essa and Eddie C join the RNT fold with a 4 tracker of melancholic and exquisitely produced chilled out disco. Begun as a lockdown project, the We Live In The Hills EP explores a vast palette of sonic soundscapes, from the shimmering guitars and acid lines of Melon Stepping, to the insistent rolling bass and whimsical synths of Save Me, the deep funk of the EP’s title track, and the late nite driving soundtrack stylings of Sixth Bridge. This EP tells a hopeful story of emerging from isolation and doubt, like a lovely musical sunrise after a long dark night.

Joe Morris Returns with New Album 'Some Kind of Paradise'
A Lush Journey Through Modern Balearic, Downtempo, and 90s-Inspired Electronica. We are delighted to premiere the album's title track.

Building on his reputation for crafting evocative, sun-drenched soundscapes, Joe Morris continues to refine his modern Balearic style while expanding his sonic palette. Some Kind of Paradise draws deep inspiration from 90s trip hop, downtempo, and electronica, weaving in layered melodies, textured guitar work, and, for the first time, vocals from Morris himself. With its blend of hypnotic rhythms, rich instrumentation, and introspective atmospheres, Some Kind of Paradise invites listeners to lose themselves in a vivid, genre-blurring musical journey.

Release Date : July 8th, 2025

PREMIERE: Joe Morris - Some Kind Of Paradise [Shades Of Sound Recordings]

Nebula Café - Track 9

For our latest Flux First Play we introduce 22 year old Frenchman Leon Revol, who has kindly allowed us to premiere a song from his new EP for Ben Gomori's Monologues Records, ‘Eulogy For Hip-Hop’. 

‘Eulogy For Hip-Hop’ samples a Donna Summer song, and the title may be a nod to the prolific use of the sample in modern hip-hop, notably in Beyonce’s ‘Naughty Girl’. The sample drifts above bleached pianos and sunkissed strings, undercut by sharp chugging percussion, painting a sepia-toned picture of a summer evening in warmer climes.

Catch Leon at Farbfernseher Berlin on April 2: https://www.facebook.com/events/1684485181808206/

Release Date: 28/03/2016

Guillaume Teyssier (https://soundcloud.com/guillaume-teyssier) est ce qu'on appelle en anglais un song-writer, espèce en voie de disparition, de ceux qui composent des morceaux avec une guitare ou un piano et leur voix. A partir de versions brutes et minimales de ses chansons, Guillaume fabrique des petits bijoux pop à l'aide de ses musiciens Thomas et Peter, et de son producteur Joakim qui a enregistré l'album à Paris puis mixé dans son nouveau studio à New York.
