Haze City - Ai Ehay (Cengiz Remix)

Introducing Kris Tidjan's debut album, "Small Axes"! This soul-jazz and Afro-beat infused LP takes listeners on a journey through Tidjan's Martinique heritage and contemporary broken beat and jazz influences from Philly to Detroit. The artist's unique and unorthodox approach to writing will transport you to a world of peacefulness and aerial feeling, leaving you relishing a re-listen to the album.

From the opening track, "Dazzling Ribbon," we are moved through a colorful world where we discover a passage to become an etheric substance. The album continues with "Incarnated," a powerful wake-up call that draws attention to the non-sense of perpetual oppression endured by melanated bodies. "Little Giant" explores the growth and evolution of children in urban environments, while "Lords of War" was inspired by a statement made by George Bush Senior in 1990.

"KATIOPA" is a standout track on the album, a product of Tidjan's 2005 collaboration with his cousin Jeremie Ornem and the label "APOLLOJAZZ". This track, like the entire album, features the talents of a diverse group of musicians including Mauro Pandolfino, Stefan Mercurio, Alain Rosine, Zoran Terzic, Scabolcs Bognar, Regis Molino, Thierry Banaré, Guido Ott, Michael Love and Simone Lagrand.
Tidjan is heavily influenced by the renaissance of black music, where music and message often came packaged together. Artists like Coltrane, Fela Kuti, Sun Ra, Ohio Player, Mulatu Astatke, Oneness of Juju, Maalem Mahmoud Ghania, Al Green were all examples of how message and music can combine to change the status quo. These sounds have all combined in Kris Tidjan’s mind to inform the music he makes today.

Tidjan’s music demonstrates a revival of a renaissance period, deeply informed by the sounds of artists such as Coltrane, Fela Kuti, Sun Ra, and Al Green, out of a sense of ancestral healing and expression.

He says: "I named my album "Small Axes" as an homage to Robert Nesta Marley. The message of unity in Marley's music inspired me, and I believe that the power of togetherness should be promoted and embraced by all individuals and groups. I referenced Bob Marley
in the first single "Lords of War" as a way to further pay homage to his message of unity and to encourage people to come together to achieve great things."

"Small Axes" is a powerful debut album that showcases Tidjan's unique and unorthodox approach to music. Don't miss out on this soul-jazz and Afro-beat infused journey, get your copy of "Small Axes" today!

Kris Tidjan - Eddie

Named in direct reference to arguably one of the greatest albums ever created, "Giant Steps" by John Coltrane, "Giant Stops" pays homage to the rich legacy of jazz while pushing the boundaries of the genre with a contemporary twist. The album seamlessly blends jazz, hip-hop, and electronic elements to create a unique sonic landscape that is both nostalgic and modern.

For Minus & MRDolly, "Giant Stops" represents a new chapter in his evolution as a musician, showcasing his growth and commitment to pushing boundaries in his genre-bending style. Taking inspiration from the creative process of Makaya McCraven, the album features dynamic instrumentals backed by a live band, with Minus & MRDolly's signature lyricism and storytelling shining through both the instrumentals and the lended work of guest musician such as Meta_ or Luca Argel. By using this production method the album takes a bold stand for the importance of sampling as an art form hoping to encourage listeners to appreciate the rich history and evolution of hip hop and to recognize the essential role that sampling has played in shaping the genre.

As a nod to his Portuguese roots, "Giant Stops" represents a deeper exploration of the artist's identity and a commitment to looking inward to find creative inspiration. With this album, Minus & MRDolly hopes to inspire others to embrace their own unique perspectives and use them to create art that connects with audiences on a deeply emotional level.

In a world where technology threatens to replace human creativity, "Giant Stops" is a reminder that the power of art to connect with people on a fundamental level is enduring and will continue to shape our world for generations to come.

Selectors Assemble bring you this exclusive premiere of "Arboles" taken from the soon to drop self-titled album of the Afro Brunk Band!

Born out of the favelas and samba schools of São Paulo, the Afro Bruk Band Project is a collaboration of singers, poets, musicians, friends and family. Their sound is inspired by Bossa-Nova, Afrobeat, Brasilian / Cuban Yoruba culture and the Broken Beat sound from the UK.

The brainchild of the project is Swiss-based Ruben Estevez, producer and DJ of Bruk Boogie Kru sound system. His aim was to create a live project, to promote musicians, to diffuse their passion out of Brasil and to export Brasilian musical street culture.
