Lazy 3 Year Anniversary Live Mix

Presenting 'Dots,' the latest musical venture by the talented Naima Faraò.
This soulful and introspective album transcends genres, blending the captivating elements of contemporary jazz, soul, and RnB. A captivating journey that mirrors the artist's profound perspective, 'Dots' invites listeners to explore the nuances of solitary moments, the strength in closure, and the resilience found in the smallest details.

The album is heralded by the mesmerizing single, "Buoyancy Of Water" featuring the renowned Ilhan Ersahin. Naima Faraò's evocative quote sets the tone for the album, describing the dot as a symbol of conclusion and the beginning of new chapters. Each dot encapsulates stories, layers of experiences, and the opening of new scenarios, making it a potent metaphor for the artist's introspective journey.
"Dots" is not just an album; it's a process of elaboration and rebirth. It echoes thoughts born from the collisions of real life, an intricate and delicate inward journey to grasp suspended moments and unite the points of an ever- changing trajectory.

As the album unfolds, Naima Faraò invites you to join her on a musical exploration of new territories, unfamiliar paths, and the courage to push beyond. "Dots" is more than a collection of tracks; it's an immersive experience that unveils the beauty found in the details and the courage required to evolve.

This is an alternate take to the track "Proteze" Recorded 3/14/25

This project was centered around some accordion samples from a polka song. This track is pretty simple, but I really like the vibe that the accordion brings. Hope you do too. Thanks for listening ✌️

Marc Mac is one of a rare breed of producers who moves smoothly between different genres flitting between pseudonyms while leaving a trail of quintessential releases. Straight Outta Dollis Hill London Marc Mac is one half of the legendary outfit 4hero and also founder member of Reinforced Records a label positioned at the cornerstone of early electronic music in the UK. In the late 90‘s Marc signed to Gilles Peterson’s Talkin Loud Records with his group 4hero. 4hero went on to produce 2 great award winning albums with Talkin Loud “Two Pages” & “Creating Patterns”. 4hero then went on to set up a new label where they released the critically acclaimed “Play With The Changes” and most recent “Extensions”. Somewhere in this timeline, between producing music for Jill Scott to Roy Ayers, Phonte to Terry Callier, Marc started another project called Visioneers releasing a set of limited 7” singles getting the attention from top eclectic DJ’s including Jazzy Jeff, Kenny Dope, Gilles Peterson & Norman Jay. Visioneers was then picked up by BBE records who released the debut album “Dirty Old Hip Hop”.

Following on from the success of “Dirty Old Hip Hop” Marc returns with a new Visioneers record HIPOLOGY. “Hipology is a collage of some of my personal influences as a DJ/Producer growing up listening to Hip Hop; it’s a real eclectic mix of Breaks, Beats, Soul, Jazz, and freaky squeaks and not a sampler in sight. Visioneers is about revisiting my love for Hip Hop; What it was and what it is; the musical influences and the culture...”. Hipology will be released on BBE records late spring and features guest spots from John Robinson, TRAC & Baron, Notes to Self, Luke Parkhouse, The Support Brass & Ariya Horns.

“I can’t paint a picture with one color I need to play with them all. Music is the same for me, how can I produce or DJ one style of music? I got to play with them all.” Marc Mac (4 Hero, Visioneers, BBE).
