Stream 'Stars' : https://paris91.fanlink.to/stars

The Hambourg based duo paris91 is back on Hip Dozer after a first single 'Edith' that quickly reached over 500K streams. The duo explores and experiments various sounds and love to jump from ambient to funk without forgetting their hip hop roots and influences.
 
'Stars', their latest production, is a beautiful hip hop beat enhanced by an airy voice sample. Both artists love to collaborate, that's why they created paris91 and you can hear that through their beats.

The 2nd single & video “Too Smooth” off of '“E-Town General” is here. Taking production inspiration from the likes of Q-Tip & Dilla - Brainorchestra allows the dusty chops to lay a perfect landscape for rhyming. The vocal stabs & guitar licks every 4 bars keep the loop alive & vibrant for the “lifestyle” driven bars by Brain.

“3-packs, OG in elastic wrap / Yeah I did a lot of moving, but we passed the fact / Said I’m tryna start a movement - jewel talk, we too fluent / Move Jewish, wire money thru computers”

Its not a surprise the classic 90BPM is a comfortable lane for Brainorchestra. The overall mood of the tempo creates flow driven pockets & smart delivery which does not fall short on “Too Smooth”. Enjoy & watch the video + stream everywhere music is available!

“E-Town General” will be released February 4th 2021 via Copenhagen Crates in Denmark. This project is one of Brainorchestras’ best work, with the production shining just as much as the rhymes - & filled with skits that have secret beats & funny clips. Releasing on vinyl, cassette, digitally & merch will also be available!

Too Smooth - (OFFICIAL VIDEO IN BIO)

Hey, I pretty much say 'this one was a lot of fun' every time, but this one really was a lot of fun! Had a good little group of disco heads tuning in, and I tried my best to pull out the grooviest of grooves for them. So we've ended up with a good selection of my favourite edits. Apologies that the divine Roisin Murphy is cut off at the start. 

Join me every Friday - twitch.tv/evenfunkier and get on down!

Koralle - Keep It Stepping (feat. Turt)

South London-based 8-piece band Don't Problem is proud to present their new single 'CD's Lament', lifted from their forthcoming album planned for spring 2021.

With their new album, the combo challenges the common perception of a "covers" brass band, exclusively writing original material and adding electronics, synths & strings, a reflection of their wide encompassing interests. They introduce us to a very personal journey; the moment in time where a brass band affirms their love for club culture and delivers an album that travels from heavy funk to psychedelic jazz and UK dance music.

"‘CD’s Lament’ is an homage to Craig David. The single started with a chord and melody idea inspired by Garage music. Through our workshop-style rehearsals, this morphed into other heavy brass sections that are synonymous with our sound" says the band.
