For The People للشعب

100% of the proceeds of this release will be donated to refugees from Iraq and Syria. Unreleased music by IAMNBODI, Brenk, Suff Daddy, Shuko, Farhot, House Shoes, Cid Rim, Dexter, Torky Tork and many more.

 Read the full story here, as told by Brenk who initiated the release:

My old friend Aras asked me one day if I could perform at the charity event he organizes for the refugees in the Kurdistan Region for the people who are on the run from IS fighters in Iraq ans Syria. He explained the circumstances to me and pointed out the immense struggle these families have to go through day by day. He told me that he and his team are about to fly the money directly to the people in need by themselves. The proceeds will be distributed among refugees, in the Dohug and Erbil Governorate which is very close to the Iraqi/Syrian Border. Due to it’s location a huge part of the Syrian as well as the Yezidi and christian refugees ended up in this region. The money will be delivered directly to the refugees, to help them attend to their most immediate needs, such as food, clean water and warm clothing for the winter. It was clear for me that I had to support his endeavors. 

As I realized that performing there wouldn't be possible because of me being on tour with the Betty Ford Boys, I wanted to find another way to support this project with something bigger than just a performance. I started calling the homies and everybody was immediately down to support "FOR THE PEOPLE" with an unreleased instrumental. There you have it; this is how the idea for the compilation was born. I would like to thank each and everyone who bought this record and supported this movement. Also I would like to shout out all my brothers who sent me these dope ass beats. And last but definitely not least, Jannis and Jakarta Records for seeing my little vision and making this an official release via Jakarta to help raise even more money. 
Salute, 
Brenk

NTS #002: 20 August 2016 (w/ Errol)

A pillar of Bristol's ultra-fertile bass music community, Pinch has been turning out speaker-rattling rhythms since the early days of dubstep. Although his more recent output – along with that of his labels, Tectonic and Cold Recordings – has focused on more hybridized technoid sounds, his new 'Brain Scan' EP finds him revisiting the classic dubstep template. The record is slated to arrive on November 17 via Australian label Aquatic Lab, but we were given the chance to debut the thumping "Street Light" on Red Bull Radio's First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

The wheels kept spinning as the car travelled down the long, winding road. In the distance there was little light remaining but he continued to drive through what was left, the motion was underway and soon he would arrive at his final destination. The towering hills rose up to the sky alongside the twisted concrete path and soon the glow of the headlights would be all that could guide the way. For now the hum of the engine was enough for company, for now. 

Ilija Rudman is set to appear on a new EP for Is It Balearic? He is remixed by none other than Italo house legend Don Carlos who delivers a charming melodic inspired remix.

The night had drawn to a close and there was little noise left in the small basement. The reverb echoed loudly from the machine in the corner but it was not a sweet sound or tone but bitter and dull. The band had left the room some time ago but the crowd remained loyally attached to the stage - hoping and praying for the return of their heroes. Little did they in fact know that this was the end of times, the last dance and a farewell outing. Soon they would leave but not just yet, not now. 

The Golden Filter continue to delight and inspire, a duo with a sense of purpose and a formidable swagger. Optimo did very well indeed to snap them up and their music demonstrates supreme quality.

The clouds were cast aside as the great train of angels flew careering towards the sun. Children of the sky they were, riding high upon flying machines and magical witchcraft, they looked like nothing but specks of light to those down upon the ground but up above the clouds amidst the stars there was a spectacular party underway. A celebration had begun as they prepared to welcome the next emperor of the moon, it was a changing of the guard and he brought with him light and goodness...

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.

High Pulp - Dave's

In late April, early May as COVID was ravaging NYC  (before our city blew up with the most inspiriting demonstration of the people power I've ever seen) - I was in a weird place, locked in my house for months with a lot of fear to go outside or see friends as a lifelong Asthmatic I ended up spontaneously putting this house mix together. It was all tracks that spoke to me that were  mellow, deep, sometimes melancholic with but with undertones of hope for the future and a realization that all things are temporary, and change is the only thing that's constant. Music speaks to people in weird ways, and these songs spoke to me in that way. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it. Volume 2 on the way soon. 

Tracklist:
1. A Vision of Panaorama - Delicious Saw
2. Call Super - Echo Thread
3. Phairo - Celadon
4. Jay Cass - Tell Me 
5. Pender Street Steppers - Falling (Dub)
6. Baltra & 박혜진 park hye jin - Ahead Of Time [Edit]
7. Fruit - 2 The
8. Jimpster - Curve
9. Space Dimension Controller - Mercurial Attraction
10. Heathered Pearls - Interior Architecture Software
