If you were to think say that Flamingo Pier have become stalwarts of Soundway Records as of late, then you would be absolutely correct. The New Zealand based collective of Dominic, Brad and Luke have developed a blossoming relationship with the label  since the release of their self titled ‘Flamingo EP’ back in 2019. Fast-forward 2 years; having navigated through the midst of a global pandemic, the trio are now set to release their debut album ‘Flamingo Pier LP’. This long-play encapsulates the unique sound that the trio have established over the past few years that has come to incorporate elements of funk, disco, and jazz, all built around Afro-centric percussive elements.



Deeper Soul is somewhat of a departure from the upfront, cut-loose dancefloor vibe that harnesses the majority of this album. Staying true to its name; ‘Deeper Soul’ has its foundations in a substantially more downtempo, stripped back approach. It’s psychedelic influence hides in plain sight, organic afro-inspired percussion underpinning the calming synth top-lines that gently meander throughout courtesy of an abundance of reverb, delay, and modulation; whilst the hypnotic, funk-laden baseline injects a feeling of nostalgia that supplements the overall groove in beautiful fashion. It’s hard to pull yourself out of the time-warp of yesteryear after listening to this one!

Modes continues the forward thinking percussive jazz and afro-inspired house music soundscapes explored on Dyne's recent album Teal, which garnered acclaim from peers and fans alike - including Late Night Tales, Toddla T, Ransom Note, and BBC6 Music presenters.

***

I don't know what to do 
You're always on my mind 
I try to keep it cool 
But I feel smaller than a dime 
'Coz when I get out there in a world so unfair 
I don't know what to do 
You are the vicious kind 

I try to give you a clue 
But you don't believe 
And I'm trying to get through 
But you lie and deceive 
But I will show you how your bullshit won't stop me 
And I will give you a clue 
I will make you believe 

You may think I'm ambitious 
And that I don't know the world 
But little man you are vicious 
Around your finger I twirl 
And when you walk outside with your high fashion news 
You think you're so delicious 
You think that I'm just a girl 

So you're gonna watch me make it over 
That big, wide darkness you call life 
And I won't even take cover 
Because dull is your knife 
And when you come at me with your tender words, I swear 
You will never be my lover 
For the rest of this life 
For the rest of this life 
For the rest of this life

LV Premier - Sai Galaxy - Sometimes It Rains Feat. Kaivili [Soundway]

Soundway Records are proud to present the original soundtrack to Ola Balogun's legendary movie ‘Black Goddess’ from 1978. The film was written and directed by Balogun (recognized as one of Nigeria's most renowned directors) but shot and cast in Brazil.
 
The soundtrack, Soundway’s deepest venture into experimental afro-jazz, was
composed and produced by one of Nigeria's most successful and original musicians Remi Kabaka (who has played with Steve Winwood, Paul Simon, Paul McCartney  and Ginger Baker amongst others). 

The record was originally issued in both Nigeria and Brazil, but recorded in Lagos, using four of the Nigerian music scene's most innovative players: Remi Kabaka himself, alongside Biddy Wright, saxophonist Dele Okonkwo and Mono Mono frontman Joni Haastrup. 

Soundway label owner Miles Cleret said “It was the quality of the session players, some of the finest in Nigeria, that first attracted me to the record, creating something utterly unique but at the same time distinctly Nigerian.” 

Remi Kabaka (whose son now provides the vocals for Russell Hobbs from Gorillaz) is not the only one with an impressive musical CV. Joni Haastrup moved to England to play in Ginger Baker’s Air Force and toured throughout Europe with the band before returning home to form Mono Mono. Soundway will be re-issuing two Mono Mono albums, ‘Dawn of Awareness’ &amp; ‘Give A Beggar A Chance’ on LP this summer. 

Dele Okonkwo (one of the Nigeria’s most prominent saxophone players) and Biddy Wright made up the rest of the group. Biddy Wright (who also produced The Lijadu Sisters album ‘Danger’, a track from which featues on Soundway’s album The World Ends) moved to England and formed the Osibibisa inspired, Afro-rock band Akido, whose 1972, self-titled debut album was produced by Ronnie Lane (the bassist from The Faces). Biddy went onto to play bass in Ronnie Lane’s country rock outfit Slim Chance touring through out Europe.

The resulting soundtrack created by these prestigious musicians is a truly unique and experimental afro-jazz recording that has been out of print for many years, until now.

Soundway will be screening the Black Goddess in London on 10th September with more screenings around the world planned.

Bangers from around the globe. Dar Disku launched with a question: how to channel heritage into dance floor elation? Well, when your name translates to 'home of the disco,' the brief feels pretty self-explanatory.

In the first few years, that meant crafting edits of Khaliji hi-NRG and Bollywood soundtracks to fit contemporary 'crates. They took off as DJs through a run of radio and parties in the UK—where they currently reside—flexing deep finds from across the SWANA region. Their vibrant debut album, out in September on Soundway, furthers the mission.

True to form, their RA Podcast is stuffed with heaters from all over the map: Algeria, India, Chile, Jordan, Australia, Turkey, Libya and Morocco get a look-in, as well as a few staple acts that betray the kind of high-wattage European festivals the duo increasingly frequent. It's not hard to see why—this mix is 90 minutes of sunshine.

Lonnie liston smith- expansions -(unouzbeck-edit)

Reuben Vaun Smith hadn't intended to be a musician; he was supposed to be on the football pitch. As a young prodigy, he was signed to the Leeds United youth team as a rising talent and by 16 he'd been spotted and signed by Sevilla in Spain. But the dream was over before it really began.

At 18 he suffered a life-changing knee injury, catastrophically stopping his career in its tracks for good. With no back-up plan, Smith moved back to Yorkshire and contemplated what to do next. 

Not long after, his grandfather bought him a MIDI keyboard - and Smith retreated to the shed at the end of his garden and started to teach himself music production.

In a world full of sonic musical snobbery, a world full of the hierarchy of expensive hardware and software - Smith delivers a unique raw, live and improvised style using an inexpensive keyboard and a computer program given to him on a memory stick by one of the punters in his dad's pub. 

He joins a long list of musicians that were somehow detached from the rule-bound world of the music industry - making music as much for themselves as for anyone else. With no formal musical education and not over influenced by mixing techniques that may have slowed his raw stream of musical consciousness, here we present some of his earliest musical sketches and heartfelt outpourings.

Drawing on the Balearic style of the 1980s, Smith invokes the sound of warm nights, lapping oceans and a young man, in a Yorkshire shed, wrapping himself in layers of musical warmth and shimmering sonic landscapes. The wonderful world of Reuben Vaun Smith.

ELTB at Brilliant Corners w/ Frankie Francis, Norsicaa, Mr Redley & Delonte Rivers - 13.03.20

You can now finally listen back to this magical night on March 13th at Brilliant Corners. This was our last night before the country went into lockdown and what a way to go. We were joined by ELTB friends Frankie Francis, Norsicaa and Mr Redley as we ran through 6.5 hours of musical gold, back 2 back. Starting slow as usual and then building up as the restaurant cleared and the dance floor began, expect sounds of ambiant, dub, leftfield disco, afrobeat, latin grooves, soul, funk, jazz and so so much more. Perfect music to soundtrack this sunny day...
