REXCAST #16 - MAKE IT DEEP X INTO THE

As part of the celebrations to launch Miche's 'With Love Volume 1' compilation; four of us (post-club night)crammed into the back of a Mini Cooper for a road trip from East London to Manchester for a 5-hour listening-bar session. A relaxed and carefree set, saw us selecting recent finds and old favourites across the soul, disco, gospel, AOR, Brazilian, and jazz-funk genres. 

NAM, is a wonderful Vietnamese restaurant set in the heart of Manchester. It boasts some of the best food we've had in a while and features an awesome Hi-Fi system with an Isonoe mixer situated in a cosy basement. 

Big thanks to Nam, Christos, and the team for letting us loose to share our music with their customers.

ZG is the moniker of London based Zansika Lachhani and Grant (aka Anthony Collins, and the Tony in Frank & Tony). The concept  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. 
 
In 2018 they began to work together, developing a number of tracks but eventually parking the project as other life commitments got in the way. Fast forward to 2021, while clearing out old harddrives, Grant rediscovered the recordings and was blown away by the music already put down. Together they began to rework and develop the project further, resulting in a blindingly beautiful  seven track LP. 
 
Opener Jungle Times sets the scene, an atmospheric dreamy opening giving way to an idiosyncratic breakbeat and whispered vocals from Zan, setting the tone perfectly, floating the sound equally between London and New York styles. Following it up is the enigmatic Roll of Thunder, drawing its power broken beat patterns, deep and soulful strings and washes reminiscent of 4Hero in their prime. 
When Young also brings a jazz aesthetic to the fore, with upfront drums and Rhodes chords washing over in melodic bliss. Ombre starts with a thick bassline and urgent synth stabs before developing into a tripped-out groove, layered with thick synth lines and subtle harmonic touches. Similarly, Aura uses some of the same sound palette as well with touches of guitars and more sparking pads creating an uplifting yet melancholic journey. The first real vocal arrives with the penultimate track Dog Days, dreamily layered over  beautifully evolving synth washes and skittering beats. By the time Drift Out arrives to usher in the last act of this exceptional LP, we are on cloud nine.
