Roots to Petals

Gospel blues meets neo-soul over a bouncy boom bap rhythm bristling with shining funk guitar licks, cheeky synths and an irresistible glockenspiel line that despite its positive groove is a bittersweet tale of a loss of faith. A man at the end of his tether searching for safety and redemption is the theme from the New York based, Trinidad & Tobago born singer John Skweird, and he bares his soul here with gusto. Not unlike Mark Ronson’s retro-soul experiments, ‘Better Place’ is both fresh and classic sounding, the timeless soul fire of John’s vocals meshing beautifully with Mr Bird’s modern funk chops.

Lethe

Perses

You smell that? That’s the smell of burnt rubber, cold rain, and broken promises. Welcome to the Mean Streets kid. 

You ever hear jungle breaks echoing through an empty parking garage at 3 a.m.? That’s what this is for. Mean Streets is built for late-night runs and lost causes. It's a drum and bass tribute to the golden age of the PlayStation, back when everything felt faster, dirtier, realer. Back when we were still counting polygons kid. 

Think Wipeout 2097, Ridge Racer, Need for Speed. This is the sound of busted-up jungle drum and bass straight from a memory card left in the rain.

Yeah, there's liquid DnB in here, even some future garage, the kind that creeps in when the streets are empty and the rain won’t stop and you can't get those damned memories outta your head. But don’t get it twisted kid, the heart of this record is that early-2000s jungle mayhem. The stuff that came out of blown speakers and off bootleg discs. That sound that made you drive too fast and care too little.

So here’s your induction, rookie. The Mean Streets don’t care who you are. But if you’re gonna race out here, you better have the right soundtrack. And now, you do.

This one's for fan's of low-poly dreams, 160 BPM mistakes, and the kind of nights you don't come back grom the same. If you like early jungle, Source Direct, LTJ Bukem and PS1-era Drum & Bass you're gonna like this.
