TRAVELING AGAIN SNIPPETS

'All This Trouble' is the first track to land from Jonny Drop’s 2nd album "The Only Sound".  Warm, hazy Jazz is covered by a patchwork of percussion and beats that clearly display his sensibilities as a drummer. This early taste of the new album, due in June, is one of the closest heir’s to the "Sub Plot" crown, but confidently points at the producer’s development, which will be clearly heard in his new material. 

Jonny Drop’s debut, "Sub Plot", was the very first album release on the fledgling Albert’s Favourites label at the beginning of 2016. The initial offering, a 7” of album favourites 'Mind Field' and 'This Is The One' had quickly been picked up on by the good people at BBC Radio 6 Music as well as some of Drop’s personal heroes including Kenny Dope, Mr. Thing and Nightmares On Wax. But when the infectious rhythms and warm production of the beat tape landed, its impact was greater than anyone at the label could have hoped. 

Although Jonny never stopped producing beats in the following years, he was also kept busy as a drummer, playing live for Andrew Ashong, The Bongolian and Connie Constance, whose Boring Connie EP he also laid down beats for. Then in early 2018 his band The Expansions delivered their celebrated "Murmuration" LP. All the while, with the support of his label family, Drop had been evolving his solo sound too.

"The Only Sound sees a huge progression in my writing direction, as I collaborated with multiple vocalists and musicians, instead of the usual 'one-man band' approach. The development of these processes make this LP a steady departure from the beat-tape influence of my past releases, and hopefully, showcase the more original sound I've been working to achieve over the past few years."

ANGIS 222

Michele Manzo - Burning Chrome

Michele Manzo - musician and producer who boasts international collaborations with Omar Lye-Fook, Georgia Anne Muldrow and Declaime - is the man behind the second release of Angis Music, italian label curated by DJ Samuele Pagliai. The EP presents 3 different scenarios resulting from a spontaneous live session, which reflects the multiple influences and symphonic approach of an artist with various styles. This work, inspired by the science fiction novels of William Gibson - godfather of the cyberpunk genre - opens with the song “Burning Chrome”, conceived as a nighttime escape taking you at lightening speed through the alleys of a city that is galaxies away. Continuing on to the B side we have “Chiba City Park”, where the broken beat and abstract harmonies create an ambience similar to that of those in Neuromancer. Finally, “Nebula’s Grace” is a cosmic jam where time slowly floats away in dub echoes and disappears into the depth of space.

Returning to our dancefloor roots, BODYCLOCK is a natural extension of our DNA - a foray into the late night club sounds that defined who we are. The freshly minted series represents the label’s primary outlet for dancefloor burners and machine soul, shedding light on a new school of producers from around the globe and at the same time paying homage to the pioneers who laid the foundations for us. A celebration of afro-futurism that is ever-present in the consciousness of dance, BODYCLOCK is built for the nocturnal beings and discerning selectors that push this timeless tradition forward.

This first volume brings together five producers across four continents - Teymori from Australia, NYC’s Malik Hendricks, label mainstay Ricky Razu from Belgium, as well as DTW co-founder Kaye and up-and-comer Halal Sol from Singapore. Establishing both facets of the BODYCLOCK sound, Side A features two vocal-led soulful excursions, while the flip brings you three unabashedly jacking cuts to light the floor on fire. This is only the beginning - BODYCLOCK is coming with an onslaught of twelve inches and EPs, distilling our sonic outlook and looking to the future.

Halal Sol - Contusion [BODYCLOCK Vol. 1]

One (demo)

Layered up sweet, sultry, soulful vocals provided by Kennedy John Charles, receive a royally ordained Bruk revamp from man of the moment EVM128 (CoOp/Selector’s Assemble)... A neat fit for Broken beat and house heads DJs, plus dancers.

Needs must for folks who check for the sounds by Vikter Duplaix, Atjazz, Ne-Grove, Afronaut and SMBD. DJ Marcia Carr [Girlz B Like/Rinsefm]

Kennedy and EVM first met at the Boiler Room CoOp Special back in 2016 and they spoke, Kenedy said he wants EVM to do a mix for him one day, EVM said yeah bring it come, and so it happened, albeit 5 years later! But you know what they say, good things come to those who wait!

The Original track in question is called FUN , a naughty sexy house track primed at the dancefloor. It features the vocals and songwriting of Kennedy who has always been around music through his family and soundsystem culture and has previously worked with Steve Nichols (Loose Ends) among others. 

Kennedy said it was a dream to get EVM in the mix on this track as he wanted it to connect with the Broken Beat movement having been following the scene for many years as a dancer. They both share a passion in pushing this UK heritage sound of Broken Beat also known as 'Bruk" 

The remix is a sticky House tune with a Bruk twist. EVM is alumni of CoOp Presents, a label and club night run by IG Culture and Alex Phountzi. This one is for those basement sessions... big speakers, a red light and a whole load of fun !

It will be available exclusively on the Kennedy John Charles Bandcamp
