Raised in Karachi, Pakistan but based in the United States, RBMA Paris alumus Ziyad Habib creates burbling soundscapes under his Noahs Heark guise. Though relaxed and twinkling with pastoral detail, his tracks maintain a sense of connection to the turbulent outside world. Following the 'Little Tree' EP on Mooshy Moo and concurrent with his efforts running the Hear Now label, Habib has now contributed a track to the forthcoming '#Explorer2' compilation on InFiné that feels utterly rustic even as it pulls you skyward. 

"Sync" ushers the listener into a verdant forest, soaking each element in reverb and echo while maintaining a sense of natural calm. Several instruments periodically poke out from the trees, but they retreat just as quickly, leaving only brief sensations of recognition en route to a pillowy kick drum. Even then the track refuses to stay on the grid, shifting the rhythmic center of gravity, and the soft percussion feels incidental, dissolving as soon as it appears. Habib describes his music as techno blending with ambient and glitch, and you can sense the connections with what he achieves on "Sync." 

InFiné's '#Explorer 2' compilation is out January 29. Pre-order it here: http://smarturl.it/explorer2-itunes

XOA ‘Way West’ (FEP028)
Release Date: 14th June 2019
Label: Five Easy Pieces
Format: Vinyl // Digital

XOA, led by London based producer and musician Nick Tyson, is set to release debut album ‘Way West’ on 14th June via Five Easy Pieces.

XOA means to look outwards; to draw inspiration from many sources. ‘Way West’ is alive with this: steeped in the rich analogue sonics of the past, the warmth of machines and influence from the sounds of London’s fervent music scene. Featuring a blend of contemporary electronic production and live instrumentation, 70s Afrobeat inspired drums and cosmic melodies are thrust into the present day with strong cues from house and techno.

Three vocalists contribute across the album, with Tyson choosing to work with singers he has a personal admiration and friendship with. Hollie Cook, known to many for her ethereal pop tinged reggae, delivers a sumptuous contribution on ‘Heartland’, adding a beautiful emotional dimension to the horn led track. Lulu Jones’ vocals are treated more as a sample for the garage tinged ‘Call On Me’ and Ruby Wood, of Submotion Orchestra, has worked with Tyson over a number of projects and their shared love of 90s soul comes to the fore on the laid back grooves and sun kissed ‘Only One Thing’.

“When collaborating, especially with vocalists on melodic and lyrical ideas, it’s important to have that personal connection and respect for each other’s craft. That’s why I never ask vocalists to prepare anything in advance for the tracks, I like to get in the room and just see what happens in the moment, to trust each other’s ideas, and for it to be a natural, organic and spontaneous process”.

Collaboration has always been at the heart of the project for Tyson. He plays the bulk of the instruments on the album but invites Marijus Aleksa on drums to provide live energy, extra synth work from Parisian Kenzo Zurzolo, and a notable Rhodes solo from Johnny Tomlinson (a member of Bonobo’s live band) on ‘Osu’.

After well received releases on Soundway Records, Cin Cin (with Wayward) and Banana Hill (with Contours); ‘Way West’ shows another step up for Tyson as a writer and producer.

“It feels like this project is coming alive for me, the music I envisaged in my mind a few years ago is being realised, and I’m proud of how it sounds”.

‘Way West’ is set to be released on 14th June 2019 via London based label Five Easy Pieces (Mo Kolours, Reginald Omas Mamode IV, Natureboy Flako, Royalty, Call Super) on vinyl LP and digital formats.
