🇬🇧
Akuphone is pleased to present the first compilation dedicated to musician John Bolloten, aka The Rootsman. As a precocious punk, he formed his first band, State Oppression, in his teens. Yet he is best known for his dub music, a genre that gave him international recognition. Largely influenced by the rhythms of North Africa and the Middle East, he built his musical identity around samples from these regional repertoires. His encounter with Bryn Jones — better known as Muslimgauze — further defined his artistic path.

This selection offers an overview of his work from 1996 to 1998, a prolific period when Into The Light, 52 Days To Timbuktu, Union Of Souls (with Celtarabia) and Distant Voices (with Pachakuti) were released. A visionary production that predicted today’s growing international predilection for the musical heritage of the MENA regions.

The compilation is enriched with an explanatory preface by Mabrouk Hosni Ibn Aleya and illustrated with rare archival photos— all of which are contained in a superb jacket designed by the artist Ghiya Haydar.

Akuphone est heureux de présenter la première compilation consacrée au musicien John Bolloten alias The Rootsman. Punk précoce, il forme son premier groupe State Oppression à l’adolescence. C’est pourtant dans le dub qu’il excelle, obtenant une reconnaissance internationale. Largement influencé par les rythmes d’Afrique du Nord et du Moyen-Orient, il forge son identité musicale autour de samples issus des répertoires de ces régions. Sa rencontre avec Bryn Jones – Muslimgauze – précise davantage son cheminement artistique.

La présente sélection propose un aperçu de son travail de 1996 à 1998, une période prolifique qui voit notamment la sortie de Into The Light, 52 Days To Timbuktu, Union Of Souls (avec Celtarabia) et Distant Voices (avec Pachakuti). Une production visionnaire qui présage de l’intérêt grandissant de notre époque pour le patrimoine musical du MENA.

Cette sélection est enrichie d’une préface explicative signée Mabrouk Hosni Ibn Aleya et illustrée par de rares photos d’archives - le tout glissé dans une superbe pochette élaborée par l’artiste Ghiya Haydar.

7" vinyl. Special night edition : 200 black + 100 glow-under-UV-light !

Roughly said, Night Sticks is a completely obscure synthesizer duo from Sweden, to quote the protagonists. But for us, love started many moons ago. Their melodies have been floating at home for years. For years, we have been listening to the only 4 tracks available on Soundcloud. With the same exact emotion each time, like unconditional love. Anyway, we could write loads about this record, but compared to its beauty every word sounds discordant...

Où cela commence-t-il ?
Where does cultural appropriation end and procreational fusion begin?
The answer to that depends on the perceiver.

For some, applying the structures of electronic music to folkloristic samples may seem de-contextualizing. Yet when considering the similarity between dancefloor compositions and the minimalism of Steve Reich and Terry Riley, the gap to traditional music begins to fade away. They remain distinct mostly by aesthetic characteristics of sound.

Nicolas Sheikholeslami’s premiere solo record as Çaykh is named after the French conjunction "Où" - meaning “where” - as this was the linking element during production. We witness an attempt to re-contextualize music that travelled from analog tapes - recorded in different localities along the Indian Ocean - to a hard-drive via 192kb youtube rips. The sample-based compositions were digitally arranged before regaining their warm sonic qualities in a vintage mixing studio.

This EP assembles three metamorphic 4th-world disco pulsations. Expect some heavily trancy and polyrhythmic analogue-fi jams.

Nicolas Sheikholeslami aka Çaykh is a Hamburg-born and Berlin-based DJ and producer. He is active as drummer & percussionist for the projects Spiritczualic Enhancement Center and Circuit Diagram.

Çaykh’s three earlier sound-collage cassette releases have already earned him a certain fame in the 4th-world and outsider-disco realms. His collection of pre-war Somali music called “Au revoir, Mogadishu“ paved the way for the Grammy-nominated “Sweet as Broken Dates“ compilation, which he co-curated.
