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.

Tommy Awards - Prometheus (Jonny Nash Remix) (STW Premiere)

Sweatshop Soundsystem's debut 12". 

Treat the music with respect... 

We decided if we're gonna to do this, we're gonna to do it properly. Heavyweight 180g black wax, full artwork, Ten Eight Seven masters + lacs, Optimal press. 

We've been in love with Ash's music since day one whilst he's been quietly killing it in the underground. Coming in with heavy dub pedigree Ash's sound taps the veins of Soul, Jazz and Funk, fusing them into a suspicious Trip Hop tapestry. Both tracks feature the killer horn work of Yazz Ahmed, one of the freshest artists to rupture the Jazz world with her psychedelic arabic rhythms. And RUDEBWOY visuals come courtesy of Sophie Bass, the dopest illustrator in the UK right now. 

3ft Above // 

One for the heads. 

"3ft above was inspired by Ezra: he made a sketch originally that i reworked into my own vibe, removed layers and then added in drums, bass etc until i ended up with what it was.... then Yazz truly finessed it..... lots of space echo used". 

Bagger // 

An opiate laden dancefloor stomper. Big Fishtank Funk. 

"Bagger was originally made at my old studio in crouch end, and was inspired by the greek/turkish food i was eating at the time in the area.... I played it with Charlie at home, decided that it would sound great with Yazz on, and pulled the trigger.... the Bagger was born". 

Also, a slice of each record goes to the anti sweatshop activist organisation 'No Sweat' - fighting for workers rights worldwide. 

We also throw loophole raves...

3ft Above - Ash Walker (ft Yazz Ahmed)

"Nzuku” emphasizes the feeling that something distinct has begun. Its strong atmosphere has the scent of narrative. Rotating on a hypnotic marimba pattern and an octave-driven bass reminiscent of Charlie Haden, it’s a loose-limbed meeting of sounds and approaches. It’s the sound of an ensemble working together in harmony, opening doors for one another. It makes you want to open a window and let in the fresh air. A sunbaked workout that suggests a 6/4 cycle, it’s a wild blend of dusted atmospherics, a low-slung hammock in a cosmic jazz disco style.
