Invisible City returns with the hotly anticipated reissue of Amajovi Jovi by Durban’s O.G. kwaito giant, Sandy B.  Originally self-released on cassette and a white label 12”, rumour has it Sandy had to remake the tracks from memory because even he couldn’t find a copy. 
 
In its original post-apartheid context, Amajovi Jovi was a sign of youthful subversiveness, rebellious creativity and a neck snapping rejection to the fascist groove of a silenced nation.  While the Pantsulla hustler nods to house legends like Jamie Principle and Pal Joey, its hip hop breaks and interludes show a clear affection for Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle.  At its slowed down tempo however, this low-fi kwaito masterpiece turns away from its American influence and looks towards Baldelli and his cosmos.  Best of all are Sandy’s vocals— deep, melodic Zulu rap, sung flippantly—the way that only a true gangster could.  It now stands as one of the finest glimpses of 90s party music to ever be blasted at the underground parties of the South African townships. 
 
A huge fave of Jamie Tiller, Tako, Young Marco, Optimo, Trevor Jackson and ICE, we are proud to present a limited vinyl and cassette reissue from one of the godfathers of kwaito. Remastered and restored from the original cassette tape.  Designed by Zeitype. Distributed by Rush Hour.

Temple is proud to present our 5th record to date, New World Science - Osmos (Movements).

Comprised of four recordings/jams between @priori-ties (the mastermind behind the project), @ex-terrestrial, and Emmanuel Thibau, and with appearances by @ramzihouti and @richardwenger, Osmos (Movements) is a sincere foray into a forth-world fantasy, where disparate synthesizer styles are tied together by Emmanuel Thibau’s harmonized saxophone musings. 

These multi-stream compositions float in those uncertain spaces between electronic and acoustic, improvisation and production, old and new. It’s these uncertain spaces we’ve grown to love, and hopefully you’ll have as much trouble describing this record as we have, because that’s what it’s all about.

Artwork by the incredible Tomasz Kowalski (front cover) and Adam Feingold (back cover).

Available in early March at all your favourite shops.

Premiere: New World Science – Movement 2 [Temple]

The routine was almost perfect, it was a beautiful performance with grace and style. Movement 4 was particularly stunning, the flickering beads of the delicate costume sparkled beneath the light as the dancers moved beneath the glow of the floodlights upon the stage. In the audience there were gasps of amazement and intrigue, it was to be a long night. 

New World Science is a newly formed project/ collaborative group formed of an impressive cast of producers and musicians all perhaps best known for operating under their own monikers. Priori, Ex-Terrestrial, Ramzi, R Weng and Emmanuel Thibau have all collaborated on a new EP which features a subtle blend of jazz, ambient soundscapes and a tropical, balearic edge. It's a remarkable feat which allows the collective to explore a new, dynamic channel of music and stretch the limits of their own creativity. 

The release is forthcoming on Temple and will be released in the coming weeks....

PREMIERE: New World Science - Movement 4 [Temple]

Introducing COSMIC RESIDENTS v. 1, the first in an ongoing compilation series from Cosmic Resonance Records. This series will showcase emerging talent from Toronto’s underground creative electronic music scene. 

This first edition features local favourites and Cosmic Resonance residents Radiant Aura Faculty (aka Raf Reza), Korea Town Acid and Hemingway along with (and making their vinyl and Cosmic Resonance debut) Body Butter, WeTurnToRed and Smoke & Shadows.

On the A-side, Hemingway kicks things off with Astralnauts, a deep, dubbed out boogie breakbeat burner dedicated to explorers of the astral plane featuring fellow label don Chris Evans on rhythm guitar. Radiant Aura Faculty (aka Raf Reza) takes us even deeper with the mystical Cid Pit Riddim, a slamming 707 acid bender sure to melt any dance floor. Things get slippery with Body Butter’s debut single ‘Lights In The Hallway’, a timeless operatic pop opus featuring Neil Rankin (aka Burt Sugar), Chris Evans (aka Mr. Bliss) and Hemingway behind the board. On the flip side, things heat up with Shamanta Chandran’s project WeTurnToRed, featuring the progressive modular techno odyssey Warm Winter an escape from Toronto’s long and tumultuous blizzards. Emerging from the Mahogani Forest, Korea Town Acid reinterprets Hemingway’s emotional ode to the jazz aesthetic Blue Notes with her trademark cerebral rhythms and a masterful bassline that elevates the original to new heights. Closing it off, we have an amazing collaboration between Curtis Clark (aka Smoke of Lab.our Music) & Em Zy (member of Nikki Fierce) called Smoke & Shadows with their stellar debut single Convincing Thoughts that features Em Zy’s hazy vocal emanations amidst a backdrop of mystical reverberations and a dark, powerful groove.

Release dates for Vinyl & Digi TBA! 

Available soon through Honest Jon's Distribution.
