I Can't Sleep was originally written back in 2012 while working on tracks for the Won Ton Sunrise LP. It didn't make it onto the album, but in 2020 a new version was recorded with Okinawa Delays and released on Archipelago Records. This dub version of the original 2012 demo is available now from Jansen Jardin (see buy link).

ZG is the moniker of London based Zansika Lachhani and Grant (aka Anthony Collins, and the Tony in Frank & Tony). Their upcoming de- but-album ZG is set for a release in November and was borne out of a connection online, as Grant and Zan connected on Soundcloud, both independently vibing off each other's music and approach to their art.

Jungle Times sets the scene for the album with an atmospheric, ambient opening giving way to a wonky breakbeat and whispered vocals from Zan. It sets the tone perfectly, pitching the sound equally between London and New York.

JVXTA is a DJ and producer based in London (UK). He also co-founded the label Hardmatter.
  
Here, Scissor And Thread, the Brooklyn imprint headed by Francis Harris and Anthony Collins share JVXTA’s debut album - Euston Blues. 

The album is a collection of moods and textures, from woozy soundscapes like opener No One Needs to Know and Voyager, to grooving, dusty house tracks like Hold On, Water Temple and Lost in Place. 

Tracks develop from ambient textures into leftfield beat excursions (Beyond) and incorporate thoughtful samples such as the spoken word poetry in The Stolen Child.

Elements of free improvisation and experimentation pepper the album, while a strong thread of atmospheric cohesion winds its way through the eight tracks - making Euston Blues a truly rewarding and rich listening experience. 

"Euston Blues synthesises deep chords, classic house rhythms and jazz laden influences to chronicle an intimate journey of physical and psychological isolation." says Charles Field, the man behind the JVXTA project. 

"Scope is relative and this transposition is explored from the seclusion of a single room to the expanses of the Beyond".

Andrea Moretti, Lorenzo Lavoratori, Daniele Melloni, Nicholas Iammatteo, Lorenzo Francioli, Ruggero Bonucci and Nicola Pitassio are Aura Safari.

A year after that they served up a debut album on London's Church Records!  Skilled musicians and instrumentalists with an effortless charm inspired by time spent soaking up the vibes from the Umbria Jazz Festival, and winters keeping warm at the legendary Red Zone Club. These days they host their own Tropical Climax parties monthly in the town centre of Perugia, the deep-digging collectors drawing on sounds from Afro to Italo, house to disco, boogie to world, from jazz to Balearic.
