through the longest night, longing for the light

Still (Drifts) is about self + togetherness, it is about trying to share a story while drifting away from one another and seeing the world through unique, individual sets of eyes

Still (Drifts)

XVI Records is delighted to present brand new signee Kai Meara with his forthcoming EP ‘Morii’. Following the release of albums ‘Splurge’ and ‘Rheumatic’ and holding down a residency on Peckham’s Balamii Radio, the London-based artist continues to dent the scene with his staple refined production.

First track lifted from the EP is Dancing Stone’, having caught the early attention of Raji Rags (NTS Radio), it entrances listeners and immerses them in Kai Meara’s shimmering world.

Taken from the album ‘Strata Records – The Sound of Detroit – Reimagined by Jazzanova’, BBE Music, DJ Amir and 180 Proof records present the 3rd single from this monumental project.

This release features remixes by Japanese Club Jazz pioneers Kyoto Jazz Massive, and Genre Blending New Yorkers, musclecars.

Kyoto Jazz Massive were enlisted to remix the Jazzanova reimagining of Sam Sanders’s iconic song Face at my Window. Their mix adds an intimate Jazz Club feel to vocalist Sean Haefeli’s recording, which highlights the dynamics of Sean’s voice. The subtle tempo increase maintains the feel of the original and adds a punch to the brass section, making the track an entirely new experience.

musclecars add that traditional New York / Chicago House vibe to Jazzanova’s reimagining of Kenny Cox’s ‘Beyond the dream’, and the result is a skippy afro/latin dancefloor filler which can go on forever. musclecars demonstrate their genre blending superpowers on this mix which adds a garage swing to a jazz record, definitely going to be a jam for the dancefloors in 2023.

Both remixes showcase the importance of DJ Amir's unearthing of these strata gems, and Jazzanova’s reimagining, how they have breathed new life into one of Detroit’s hidden gems - Strata Records. They will definitely on board new audiences to the treasure trove that is Strata, and the iconic stories surrounding the often overlooked record label.

Jackson Milas - December 21st (STW Premiere)

After sailing through soulful house waters with Hanna and RANGEr on their first two releases, Waella’s Choice turn their eyes on London jazz for their third. 

London On Key is a twelve-track compilation, showcasing some of the best pianists in the capital. Out on 29th March, the release coincides with Piano Day, an annual worldwide event which falls on the 88th day of the year (after the number of keys on a piano). 

Artists include longstanding figureheads to members of some of premium bands like Yussef Dayes Tio, Ruby Rushton, Vels Trio and The Comet Is Coming. Their contributions range from reflective compositions, disarming juxtapositions, jazz dance foundations, wonky synth grooves, pedal experimentations and a cover of UK trip-hop band Attica Blues from one of its co-founders. The result is a vibrant celebration of the piano and a calling card for the rude health of jazz in the capital. 

Artwork designed by Duval Timothy and will be available as prints alongside the digital release. 


More about Waella’s Choice 

Waella’s Choice was founded in June 2017 by Andy Lemay (Dimensions Festival), Will Edge (comm•une/Kobalt) and Aaron Levitt (Stamp The Wax/Worldwide FM). 

The first release came via Sound Signature affiliate Hanna with Bounce EP, hastily followed by RANGEr. Their mission ain’t fussy; simply to traverse the soulful regions of the dancefloor, booth, stage and wherever else people like to get down.
