When UK Funky made space for itself amid the explosion of dance music that followed broken beat, London's Ossie helped provide the soundtrack. With only a handful of EPs for labels such as Hyperdub, he's established himself as one of the UK's most intriguing underground producers - throwing down an instantly recognizable mix of African poly-rhythms and weighty house anthems. 'Save It Well' gives just an idea of this Red Bull Music Academy graduate's potential, so watch out for more big things to come in 2015.

Listen to Ossie's set at the world-famous Air club during this year's Academy in Tokyo here: http://www.rbmaradio.com/shows/ossie-live-at-air

The Música Macondo Show #015 ft. Nubya Garcia

In Hour 2 it's Nicolas Morant aka Nikitch a classically trained musician who has worked with Andreya Triana, Tambour Battant, Dj Cam, Grems, and Submotion Orchestra. His latest EP "All The Best" was released in November on Cascade Records and supported by the likes of Gilles Peterson, Laurent Garner and LeFtO. He had this to say about his mix;
"This mix & selection includes tracks of what I’m digging most in music : harmony-driven, soulful and energy. You can catch « raw-pop » from Machinedrum, jazz-colored tune by the man Jameszoo in it, as much as wonky off-beat by Sixtus Preiss or even some of my own productions. Hope you’ll like it, Bless."

Dday One “Feel My Drums” - Finest Ego | Monthly Mix #011

MIMS is excited to premiere “Colorists”, one of our favourite songs from the fourth installment of  the Felbm project, on Soundway Records. A beautiful bossa nova blended with ambient music and soothing guitars. The whole tape is one to dream away too but “Colorists” makes us want to dance too, or at least tap our feet uncontrollably.

Following on from 2018’s Tape 1 & Tape 2, the Dutch producer and musician Eelco Topper recording as Felbm, has already released Tape 3 as a digital EP, to be released together with Tape 4 on one vinyl LP on October 16.

Tape 3 & Tape 4 is an intimate, emotional, lilting and melodic solo project with a restorative, therapeutic nature. They were composed and recorded by Topper with just those aspects in mind as a personal remedy for the ailments of modern life. With a breezy and soothing quality these fourteen lo-fi, instrumental, jazz-infused sketches written on guitar, with cascading keyboards, vibraphone and drum machine, seem perfect for the second half of 2020, a year in which we could all surely use some curative and uncomplicated music. With echoes of the dreamier end of 1980s English indie-pop, minimal ambient music and Brazilian bossa-nova, Topper’s musical storybook includes touches of The Durutti Column, echoes of Ethiopian Tezeta, hints of Antônio Carlos Jobim and Baden Powell, whilst all set firmly in the summer fields of Germany and the Netherlands.

“In the summer of 2019 I took only a guitar and a “pocket piano” to a holiday retreat in rural mid-Germany that I visit regularly, and wrote most of the basic ideas for Tape 4. The opening track ‘Brunnengasse’ features the wind chimes from the garden there. When I hear them I’m back at that peaceful place immediately. Dealing with chronic fatigue syndrome for the past few years, I took on a habit of hiking in nature frequently, which in turn led to a budding love of birdwatching. The track ‘Beaufort’ contains a field recording taken in an area where I like to go hiking and spotting birds. Most notably you can hear the song of a woodlark, a bird far easier heard than seen.”

Style-wise these tracks are still navigating the space between quiet, open, meditative tunes and more solid instrumental songs, thereby reflecting his constant search for an optimal balance between stillness and movement.

Exclusive Premiere: Felbm "Colorists" (Forthcoming on Soundway Records)

Ahead of the release of the debut @scarletpines EP, the band has blessed us with a guest mix that delves deep into new jazz with tracks from Kamaal Williams, Alfa Mist, Mansur Brown, Amir Bresler, KOKOROKO and more. You also get to hear all three cuts that grace Scarlet Pines upcoming EP.

Twistedsoul Guest Mix: Scarlet Pines

Went into the crates to pull a few selections from the great jazz label Muse. Tried to stay away from some of the sample-favorites (no Walt Barr or Catalyst this time around). Instead, it's a journey into the a variety of styles and flavors, some creative and beautiful music made by a wide range of musicians in the 70s and early 80s. There's definitely another stack of records I wasn't able to include this round, so maybe a part two will be in the works for the future.

Tracklist: Dom Um Romao, Pat Martino, Cedar Walton, Joe Chambers, Mark Murphy, Deodato and Joao Donato, Eric Kloss
