Lui Mafuta presents This Ain’t Jazz, a boundary-pushing new EP that fuses live musicianship
with electronic sensibility - an exploration of jazz influence through a deeply personal and
collaborative lens. 

The release is available on digital platforms and as a limited vinyl edition.

At the heart of This ain’t Jazz is a long gestating idea: to bridge electronic music with an
organic, band oriented aesthetic. Lui Mafuta reunited with four longtime friends and
collaborators: Paul Janoschka, Felix Roos, Jonas Esser and Benedikt Jäckle - who all studied
music together in Mannheim before scattering across the globe. Under the loose collective
named Weiller, they came together once again to create a sound that lives between genres.

The EP is a globe spanning production. Piano was recorded on Paul Janoschka’s Steinway in
his Frankfurt apartment; trumpet and clarinet were tracked in a rural French studio with Felix
Roos; drums came from New York via Jonas Esser; and saxophone was laid down in Lui’s own
studio in Mannheim alongside Benedikt Jäckle. All elements were finally assembled and
shaped into a cohesive vision back in Mannheim.

“There’s less synth work on this one than usual,” Lui says. “Most of the textures come from
the instruments themselves and a lot of sample mangling. I wanted it to feel raw, human and
alive.”
Despite its title, This Ain’t Jazz is a love letter to jazz’s influence. “I called it that just to be
safe,” Lui jokes. “It isn’t jazz but it’s coming from that space.” The project also serves as a
reconnection to his roots: two of the four featured musicians are teenage friends from his
earliest days making music.

Nubiyan Twist - All The Pieces (Voyeur Remix) (STW Premiere)

Fruit Merchant launches, straight outta northside Mancunia and fresh with the city's DIY spirit - a brand new musical venture from Hidden Spheres.
For the inaugural release, regular to Lobster Theremin, Rhythm Section and Distant Hawaii, Hidden Spheres introduces the sonic flora of his enchanted new world by way of "Wonders Of The Rainforest". An EP that both details the multifaceted skills of one of MCR's most treasured recent upstarts whilst paying tribute to an environment that, although a million miles away from our concrete jungle, seems more relevant than ever due to the impending threat of climate change and our critical-level resource drain.
The EP is opening with a steady beat and intrepid exploration of "Forest Soil", Hidden Spheres takes us by the hand and into the undergrowth. Powered by a mechanized vintage drum pattern and decorated with resplendent pad and flute melodies, there's a rich musicality that connects the biotic with the synthetic in exotic and wistful ways.
Fulfilled and contented, the Fruit Merchant leaves us to relax, reflect and recharge in our new environment, a precarious and finite land of beauty that, if cherished and adored will offer up its goodness time and time again.

Lucien & The Kimono Orchestra opens a music box whose a single turn of the key is enough to project towards blue and haggard mornings spent wandering in an old cinematographic Paris. First leap in the 80s, Connection sets the scene like an opening theme. The single Fresh Start follows everything in voice and indelible gimmicks. Horizon, sung in French, is a delicate nod to the great giants of the song Berger Chamfort or Souchon style. To catch his breath between two actions, the instrumental track Georges comes then to constitute a sizeable interlude. Shell, is English and welcomes a chalouped rhythm, as if to once again extend the range of influences. As a final tableau, the impetuous chanted declamation, the frantic guitar riffs and the irresistible atmosphere conferred on the piece make Asile the splendid highlight of this second release of the quartet.
