If you were to think say that Flamingo Pier have become stalwarts of Soundway Records as of late, then you would be absolutely correct. The New Zealand based collective of Dominic, Brad and Luke have developed a blossoming relationship with the label  since the release of their self titled ‘Flamingo EP’ back in 2019. Fast-forward 2 years; having navigated through the midst of a global pandemic, the trio are now set to release their debut album ‘Flamingo Pier LP’. This long-play encapsulates the unique sound that the trio have established over the past few years that has come to incorporate elements of funk, disco, and jazz, all built around Afro-centric percussive elements.



Deeper Soul is somewhat of a departure from the upfront, cut-loose dancefloor vibe that harnesses the majority of this album. Staying true to its name; ‘Deeper Soul’ has its foundations in a substantially more downtempo, stripped back approach. It’s psychedelic influence hides in plain sight, organic afro-inspired percussion underpinning the calming synth top-lines that gently meander throughout courtesy of an abundance of reverb, delay, and modulation; whilst the hypnotic, funk-laden baseline injects a feeling of nostalgia that supplements the overall groove in beautiful fashion. It’s hard to pull yourself out of the time-warp of yesteryear after listening to this one!

Following his majestic debut EP last year, Warm Nights, UK-based producer Reuben Vaun Smith is back with a full-length album under his belt, Sounds From the Workshop, arriving digitally August 27th via the trailblazing London-based Soundway Records, who also released his first EP. The new record finds the producer further refining his eclectic, exploratory approach to production, diving deep into sounds as varied as Soca, Benga, and Trip-Hop, and emphasizing live instrumentation and acoustics.

The result is a diverse assortment of deep and lush tropical house cuts that feel handcrafted and refreshing in their restless search for inventive summertime grooves. Track 1 of Side C, “Flee the Coop”, incorporates an off-kilter, reverb-laden guitar line that rubs up against a more sun-kissed Balearic house beat. On its own, this moaning guitar could feel completely incongruous with the rest of the song, but Reuben’s magic lies in his ability to effortlessly blend such elements into a cohesive whole. 

As the song reaches its crescendo, the guitar-infused rhythm is interrupted by synth squalls and beeps, hinting at an impending techno-inspired breakdown. But the result is not nearly as chaotic as one would expect––instead, the song maintains its laid-back, languorous tempo until the very last note before petering out. This speaks somewhat to Reuben’s musical ethos; he’s not trying to break your brain or facilitate an out-of-body experience. He’s more concerned with finding new ways of maintaining a chill, nostalgic summer-vibe.

On Monday 28th 2015, Canicule Tropicale were guests of Jean-Baptiste Hervé and his radio show "Cabaret Diaspora" (CIBL 101.5).

Chico Mann, the self-proclaimed time travelling producer and multi-instrumentalist, is singlehandedly bridging the 30-something-yearlong gap between afrobeat and electronic music. His newest release marks his fourth outing on Soundway Records, the British label specialising in reissues of obscure afro-jazz, afro-funk and Latin originals.

"Nobody Wants To" is a chunky slab of spacey shimmering synth work with a hip-hop heart throbbing at its core. Supplying beautiful vocals is Kendra Morris, who explains that the track is about "trying to fill the void, and then being too stubborn to let go. (...) It feels good for a while, but then it kinda bottoms out."

"Nobody Wants To" and its instrumental version drop on 7" vinyl and digital formats on 20th May via Soundway. That same night, Soundway are throwing a party at London's Village Underground. Come one, come all.
