Cool Maritime - "Temporal Dryft"

Out now on all streaming platforms: https://bmm.ffm.to/holdsteady

Many artists like Ezra Collective and Thomas de Pourquery already paid tribute to Sun Ra’s mythical anthem “Space Is The Place”. It’s time for French producer Zerolex and his trio to bring their stone to the cosmic edifice with “Hold Steady”, a wild audio trip progressing from laid back and lyrical hip-hop into a noisy soundscape of African percussions and  free-oriented jazztronica.

Who else could do a better job than Cincinnati-based rapper Napoleon Maddox at telling this epic tale with Saturnian accents? An obvious collaboration for the rapper, as shows his activism as an African-American artist and his proximity with the trio in Besançon, his city of adoption.

The second guest on this release is Brussels-based composer and producer Marc Melià, who shares with Zerolex a strong passion for the Prophet synthesizer, and whose taste for spatial exploration is irrefutable. Marc offers a more ethereal vision of the track, with synthesizers calmly flowing into a delicate tension.

“Now all you need to do is know and hold steady.”

Creating new music deep in the night is common for most producers, especially when the music produced is rooted in the slow & beautiful Downbeat & Ambient sphere. Bathurst is a place for these producers just as much as the moonlight; the sunshine for these bats.

This twelve-track strong collection is meant to be a companion through the night for those who stay up late or even as the last thing to hear before falling asleep.

Moonlight Is Our Sunshine

Clouds

Album out June 24th, 2022

In recent years London has become an epicenter for experimental, visionary jazz. On this unique session, two of the finest exponents of the London jazz scene, Tamar Osborn and Al MacSween, join forces with members of the celebrated Danish psychedelic underground - Jonas Munk, Jakob Skøtt and Martin Rude – to create a heady sonic brew. On this first volume of material there's everything one could hope for in such a collaboration: sonically it summons the free flowing euphoria of Alice Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders' work in the late 1960s and early 1970s. But there's also a focus on rhythmic energy and vitality that calls to mind the grooviest krautrock or electric period Miles Davis, as well as a healthy dose of electronic experiments. 

Throughout these five tracks the quintet paints with a colourful palette. Tamar Osborn shifts between baritone sax and flutes. Keyboardist Al MacSween doesn't just stick with the tried and true electric piano - an instrument which he masters - but showers these tracks in analog synths and effects as well. Add to that the fact that Jonas Munk took a somewhat creative approach when editing and mixing these pieces – with effects boxes wired in, occasionally giving the mix a dubby, ambient atmosphere. Similar to Munk and Skøtt's main project, Causa Sui, digging into the past becomes a vehicle to open up the future. What the quintet has created in these sessions is something quite unique.
