Some promo text (we didnt write it)

After a successful launch with tracks from Citizen and Ejeca, Loft Records returns with its second single this March, entitled ‘Ghana’ by Dorsia, and backed with reworks from HNNY, 

Jay Shepheard and Roberto Rodriguez. Dorsia is the collaborative guise of British duo Adam Reid and Andy Watson, both artists have been producing individually for quite some time, but have now joined forces and are set to release their debut single via Loft Records here. The pair create melodic, understated electronic music tipped towards the dance floor. Although newcomers under this title, working with such a promising young label and following the footsteps of Ejeca and Citizen, Dorsia are certainly ones to watch in 2014. 

The original mix of ‘Ghana’ opens the single, a gritty, low-slung house number driven by raw analogue bass, crunchy rhythms, smoothly programmed reverb soaked vocal lines and tension building atmospherics to kick off the package in style. Let’s Play House / Local Talk artist HNNY steps in first on remix duties next, reshaping the vibe entirely to generate a stunningly contrasting interpretation. The Swedish producer opts for ever-evolving saw wave bass, rugged drums, meandering melodies and a subtly blossoming dynamism to create a truly classy rework. Then on the latter half of the 12’’ we have two additional remixes of ‘Ghana’, first up is the ever on- point Compost artist Jay Shepheard, who turns in a dubbed out house reshape, fuelled by stabbing bass hits, tension building strings and swirling echoes. While closing the package is Roberto Rodriguez, the Finnish artist delivers a stripped back version, which tips the focus solely towards the groove with bumpy bass tones and heavily swinging rhythms driving the track throughout.

Miles Davis — Florence Sur Les Champs-Élysées [SVRT Edit]

*Credo* è un «oratorio laico» per incontrare se stessi e gli altri passando dalla musica araba al canto armonico, da Gioacchino Rossini a una ninna nanna di Benjamin Britten, dal canto mistico sufi alla voce dei cantastorie nella tradizione africana, fino al basso elettrico da «messa beat» anni Sessanta o alla kora, l'arpa dell’Africa occidentale

Il mio cuore può prendere tutte le forme:
è pasto per le gazzelle,
è monastero per i cristiani,
è tempio per gl’idoli,
è la kaaba del pellegrino,
è la tavola della torà,
è il libro del corano.
Io seguo la religione dell’amore
qualsiasi sarà il cammino che rincorreranno i miei cammelli,
quel cammino sarà la mia fede.
 (Ibn Arabi [Murcia 1165 - Damasco 1240], mistico sufi, filosofo, poeta, musulmano andaluso)

Kyrie Al Ashwak

I fell into the orbit of your eyes...In due time came to realize...Guess that's what happens when stars collide...A jeweled tapestry explodes...

Heart-Shaped Box

Carey Bell was born in Macon, Mississippi in 1936. As a child, Bell was intrigued by the music of Louis Jordan. Bell wanted a saxophone in order to be like his hero Jordan; however, Bell's family could not afford a saxophone so he had to settle for the harmonica, colloquially known as a "Mississippi saxophone." Soon Bell was attracted by the blues harmonica greats: DeFord Bailey, Big Walter Horton, Marion "Little Walter" Jacobs, and Sonny Boy Williamson I and II. Bell taught himself to play. By the time he was eight, he was quite proficient on the instrument. When he was thirteen, Bell joined his pianist godfather Lovie Lee's blues band.

In September 1956, Lovie Lee convinced Bell to go with him to Chicago. Not long after arriving, Bell went to the Club Zanzibar, where Little Walter was appearing. Bell met Walter and later learned some harp playing from him and his main Chicago teacher, Big Walter Horton.To help further his chances of employment as a musician, Bell learned how to play the electric bass (from Hound Dog Taylor).

In 1969, Delmark Records in Chicago released Bell's debut LP, Carey Bell's Blues Harp. Bell played with Muddy Waters in late 1970 and 1971 and later with Willie Dixon's Chicago Blues All-Stars. In 1972, Bell teamed up with Big Walter in the studio and released Big Walter Horton with Carey Bell for Alligator Records. A year later Bell released a solo project entitled Last Night for ABC Bluesway. Bell continued to play with Dixon as well as with his own groups, and in 1978, Bell was featured on the Grammy-nominated album Living Chicago Blues on Alligator. Also, in the 1970s, Bell appeared on two Bob Riedy Blues Band recordings.
 
During the 1980s Bell continued to record for various labels and to tour. In 1990, Bell teamed up with fellow harpists Junior Wells, James Cotton and Billy Branch to record Harp Attack!. A modern Blues classic, Harp Attack! became one of Alligator Records's best selling albums.

Shotgun

Ruby and the Vines fronted by vocalist/bassist Binisa Bonner, fuse influences as diverse as rock, jazz, afro-beat and reggae. The line-up is completed by guitarist Greg Sanders (Rhythms of the City) and drummer Ben Assiter (James Blake’s drummer), who complement Binisa’s soulful vocal delivery and melodic bass lines with complex, colourful grooves. The group is a classic product of London’s uniquely eclectic and multicultural music scene.
