Earlier this year the Aussie producer Zen In Space dropped his debut album Earth Tones on Pharmaceutical Audio, a record label but know primarily as a trespass series of gatherings occurring in industrial/demolition sites in urban Australia. 

In the follow up rework project Allysha Joy strips back 'Jannali' in almost emancipatory fashion, creating an ethereal warmth from a groove sojourned in a state of vocal confession.

Reduced is a new series that strips sound back to its most transcendental, restorative and atmospheric textures to block out the noise and aid focus, attunement and relaxation. Each one will be paired with a mental health charity and be accompanied by an interview focussed on self-care. The combination of all three will create an evolving resource of knowledge and experience that provides solace, inspiration, reassurance and company in difficult times.

MIMS is excited to premiere a brilliant Breakplus remix of "Luxette" by Mr Beatnick, a highlight from his recent 'Honeycomb' album on Mythstery Records.

At MIMS we were big fans of 'Honeycomb', released this summer. Following its release, Mr Beatnick has had an impressive and varied group of friends tackle the same songs, including fellow MIMS faves Hector Plimmer, Ikonika, and Om Unit. 

One of favourite remixes though, had to be from fellow Mythstery signing Breakplus, who delivers a lush live instrument replay of Luxette, augmented with the reeds of Ben Hadwen (Emanative, Ibibio Sound Machine), that accentuates the original's broken rhythm. 

Check out the full release on 18th December, and in the meantime, enjoy the Breakplus remix of Luxette.

The second release by Moondance on Local Talk is Moondance's own theme, 'The Moon Dance'.

It is the perfect blend between house and techno, carefully dipped into a pot with equal parts of forward thinking Detroit style and organic house mixed together. It's music from a visionary producer.

MIMS is extremely excited to premiere the futuristic broken beat sounds of “Sweat”, by Contours & Werkha, their very first song together and the first taste of a collection of fresh collaborations curated by ANMA and Cognitiva Records.

"Sweat" sees the multi-talented Contours, following two acclaimed & sold out releases on ANMA, trading beats and synths with friend-since-childhood, Werkha, a producer who manages to turn all styles to his will, from broken beat to jazz and soul.

As Contours puts it "We had a framework for this track for a while, but both wanted to revisit it and ended up flipping the vibe into a more angular acid-tinged broken beat piece. Werkha brought a killer sound to the drum programming with chopped live kit samples."

Cognitiva and ANMA Records label bosses Piero Paolinelli (SofaTalk) and Angelo Mazzone (FootNote), have put together an absolute beast of a compilation. ‘Outlines’ is a snapshot of a new generation of exciting producers from across Europe, collaborating and mixing jazz, broken beat & house in exciting new ways.

10 tracks split into two parts on vinyl, featuring ones-to-watch Contours, Werkha, Footshooter, Allysha Joy, Karmasound, 291out and Domenico Sanna. ANMA and Cognitiva have not only curated the featured artists but have also instigated many of the collaborations featured.

You can also catch Werkha and Contours making their live debut as a duo this Friday as part of We Out Here's digital showcase. 

"Sweat" will be available to download on Bandcamp, and stream from all your favourite places, this Friday March 5. The 'Outlines' compilation can be pre-ordered now from the stores on the link above, and from Bandcamp this Friday, coinciding with their monthly fee-waiving day.
