Sam Weston - 'Fabergé Egg Shaker'

Review : http://bit.ly/1T0XF6i

@Werkha, c’est un mélange de deep électro et d’influences afrobeat, jazz et funk, soutenu de longue date par Gilles Peterson ou Julie Adenuga. Considéré comme l’un des talents électro les plus prometteurs d’Angleterre, le jeune producteur a fait ses armes en première partie de Bonobo, Chet Faker, Mr Scruff, Gilles Peterson, Quantic, GoGo Penguin, Romare ou encore Clap! Clap!.
N’oublions pas le remixer, Contours (@tom-burford)  :
Né à Cumbria et basé à Manchester, Contours explore les espaces, les rythmes et les textures entre House, Jazz, Afro-Beat, Electronica ou encore Hip Hop. Très tôt plongé dans un environnement musical varié, ses productions sont marquées par une rythmique habile et diverses influences venues d’Afrique et d’Amérique latine. Repéré par Boiler Room ou the Ransom Note, il est aussi soutenu par Thris Tian, Crazy P, Tasker, Will Saul, Joris Voorn, Auntie Flo, Cottam, Luv Jam. Avec un nouveau projet pour 2016 et une émission radio sur Fly High Society et Reform Radio, Contours commence à se faire un petit nom sur la scène underground britannique.

PREMIERE : Werkha - A Revolution Blue (Contours Remix) [Tru Thoughts]

The Heliocentrics - Oh Brother

King Britt & Ursula Rucker - Circe - Jazzanova Remix

'Nyako' is 7th vinyl release at On the Corner and it's a big one. South African producer 'Behr' created 'Nyako' together with Makadem during a Santuri Safari session at Sondeka Festival in Kenya. 
The E.P is 4 cuts that build in brilliance from the original which has extremely broad appeal. Indian producer 'Daisho' delivers a straight ahead 4 x 4 house groover, south-London production duo Modified Man swing their analogue machines into action for a heady synth adventure, which is just a bit broken. Berlin-based duo of Dirk Leyers and DJ Nomad (Hans Reuschl) are the ideal pairing to merge technology and tradition together as AFRICAINE808 bring up the rear with a balearic sensation to round off the EP. 
Makadem is a talented musician and vibrant performing artist from Kenya. He's a figurehead of the Benga scene in Nairobi. His stage presence and powerful vocal delivery, had him likened to the legendary Fela Kuti. Makadem innovates by bringing traditional African instrumentation, story telling and contemporary production methods together.

PREMIERE : Makadem & Behr - Nyako (Modified Man Remix)

Ahead of my gig at the Jazz Cafe, I thought i'd make Mother Theresa available as a free download until 25th August. Recorded in Havana, Cuba 2015 and released as part of the Highlife World Series pt 1  :)

"The highlight for us is Auntie Flo’s ‘Mother Theresa’, a lazy track with a free-flowing melody. Subdued compared to the others on the EP, the smoky jazz influence is unexpected, with a wandering trumpet introducing itself halfway through. As the track’s soft pads and percussive textures build, you’re caught up in the spiralling solo and the track’s brassy crescendo."

Julien Dyne - Copernicus

This is a heated vision of tropical intoxication from Bay Area combo Gilberto Rodriguez y Los Intocables. It’s Chicano Soul power on a sidewalk glide through time and space. Ojalá is a slippery rola, cat-calling to the cosmos in stretched out summertime chants. The saunter is propelled in slithering twists and sways by fluid percussion, trumpets, guitar, keys and bass. These are sweaty spells laced with fruit juice and sticky intentions. Frosty premiered Ojalá on Open End, his weekly Red Bull Radio zoom around the globe. Gilberto Rodriguez y Los Intocables’ album, Sabor Maracuyá Desnuda, emerges August 31st on Empty Cellar Records. Pre-order here: https://gilbertorodriguez.bandcamp.com/album/sabor-maracuy-desnuda

Sabor Maracuyá Desnuda

Gilberto Rodriguez y Los Intocables - Ojalá [Open End Premiere]

Mixed and produced by Adam Scrimshire
Mastered by Walter Coelho
Artwork from a painting by Jonny Drop
All kit drums played and recorded by Chris Boot.
All other instruments including Fender Rhodes, piano, Juno-6, percussion, drum programming, guitars and bass by Adam Scrimshire. 

His fourth album, musically, 'Listeners' draws from Scrimshire's passion for jazz, soul and electronic music of all styles; from an energetic combination of Afrobeat and garage on 'Won't Get Better', to the lushly orchestrated neo-soul of 'Thru You', and the harmonious jazz experimentations of 'I Never'. The album features a host of esteemed guest vocalists and musicians telling their own personal stories, including Georgia Anne Muldrow, Emma-Jean Thackray, Joshua Idehen, Madison McFerrin, Chip Wickham, and James Alexander Bright.

"With this album I wanted to get a more focused sound after six years of relearning and development in the studio. But I also struggled to find my own words, to speak about where I/we are now. So I allowed my collaborators total freedom to tell their own story and as they came back to me, they were telling the same stories I wanted to. It's resulted in some deeply personal confessional pieces: mourning family, collapsing relationships, extremes of self doubt and analysis, trying to balance public and inner persona, and a reminder that life in all forms is important.

It’s called 'Listeners' as I am a listener here, I feel like I've been given these very personal experiences to care for. Listeners because, the travesty of the last few years is that we stopped listening to each other, everyone is shouting at each other and no one is learning. And Listeners because I hope I've made something that is for other people more than I have before. I've tried to craft something warmer and more enjoyable, made for those who give me their time in listening to my music."
- Adam Scrimshire

Since joining the Wah Wah 45s label in 2007, Scrimshire has released three albums of experimental cinematic jazz, and electronic sounds. Following his 2009 debut ‘Along Came The Devil One Night​’, his second album ‘The Hollow’ (2011) was a BBC 6 Music Album of the Week, with Gilles Peterson calling it “A late contender for album of the year”.

In the time since the release of his last album ‘Bight’ (“An eclectic range of influences ranging from disco to fusion to more contemporary electronic styles” XLR8R) in 2013, Adam has worked with long-time musical accomplice Dave Koor on new project Modified Man, and launched Albert’s Favourites releasing projects by The Expansions, Hector Plimmer and Jonny Drop. He has continued to gain radio and DJ support for his successful “Scrimshire Edits” series and has produced and mixed records for artist including Stac, Daudi Matsiko, Bastien Keb, Rōnin Arkestra, Jonny Drop.
