Joris Feiertag is on a roll right now. After releasing the much-praised EP «Severance» at the beginning of the year, the producer from Utrecht is about to up the ante. «Heal» is the name of his second work on mid-length this year. This time he dedicates himself again to merge different genres and to break up gridlocked categories over the span of four tracks. It’s of course the rhythm that determines the beat as well as the mood of all of his compositions. «Bliss» floats vaguely rushed but leisurely joyful at the same time through unknown sceneries and surprises with exotic sounds and lots of inspiring ideas without turning too much left field at any time at all. 

On the opening track «Without You» it’s a dashing beat again that defines this sparkling pop song contrary to the current mainstream. It’s the outstanding voice of Colin Lee Vermeulen that works almost like another instrument. 

Whereas on «Hold Your Own» the rhythm alternates between breakbeat and dub reggae displaying impressing again how skilled the arranger and producer Joris Feiertag is. Here we have the majestic tonsils of UK based singer Oli Hannaford (with whom Feiertag has worked on several projects before) that lifts the song to higher grounds.

Feiertag - Hold Your Own Feat. Oli Hannaford

We are exited to share this beautiful piece of music AND positive lesson in mindfulness from kora musician and electronic experimenter, John Haycock, featuring a poem about anxiety, written and read by author and councillor Joshua Fletcher. We are also proud to premiere this incredible video, animated by graphic designer Finn Black. 

John Haycock is one of four artists who recently won the Steve Reid Foundation’s prestigious inNOVAtion award for forward thinking emerging talent.  The Foundation, set up by Gilles Peterson, helps artists in need due to injury or illness, as well as providing mentorship and small financial grants for emerging talent. Trustees include Gilles himself, Kieran Hebden (Four Tet), Sam Shepherd (Floating Points), Nick Woodmansey (Emanative), and Simon Goffe (Brownswood Recordings) amongst others.

John is a multi instrumentalist live looping artist passionate about affecting acoustic sounds with electronics. John’s primary instrument is the West African Kora (21 string Harp). He runs it through a series of electronic devices creating lush soundscapes & solid beats, before overlapping them with woodwind instruments.

As part of John’s mentorship from the Foundation he is working closely with Nick Emanative who is mixing / co-producing a forthcoming EP and assisting with its vinyl release. Previous inNOVAtion Awardee Sarathy Korwar (winner of the Aim Awards Best Independent Album award 2020 for the album ‘More Arriving’) has also contributed his talents to this project and will feature on a couple of tracks, whilst also helping to see its release.

“What If?” is the first finished piece, made in collaboration with Joshua Fletcher, best selling author of anxiety self help books and private counsellor. You can hear him contributing words of positive mindfulness to Morning Mari’s show every Monday morning on Worldwide FM. The message is a positive, peaceful and calming one at this time as well as at any other time.
