Selectors Assemble are excited to bring you the premiere of 'CBD Cream' taken from the soon to drop Basement Membrane album on Inner Tribe records! 

A new fresh sound emerges on “Punk Funk” nods to the broken beat mastery of Dego & 4hero, swinging funk rap featuring Atlanta mc Stan smith and psychalic punk funk leanings on the aptly named title track. With Basement Membrane drummer Mike Mitchell aka Blaque Dynamite takes the percussive role. Mike started playing drums at the age of 2 (!), touring with heavy cats such as Kamasi Washington, Herbie Hancock, Erykah Badu and Derrick Hodge, releasingseveral albums as a frontman (which he sings on as well) and apparently those tight grooves had already been running in the veins of his family. Mike's uncle is the incredible Dennis Chambers, who played with people like Don Blackman, Funkadelic, Bernard Wright, Aurra, John Scofield, Santana and many more. The last piece in this powerful puzzle is bass and guitar player Lars Karakusevic, who also co-wrote several of the tracks on this forthcoming album. Beka wrote the rest.

Already receiving steady industry support from the likes of Lefto, selectors assemble, stepping to tomorrow, Mr Scruff and many more this album is cemented already as a future classic.

As short as these tracks seem to be, it took embarrassingly too long to finish them, for a few reasons I’m not going to bother you guys with. Nevertheless, if you are into raw and chaotic funk, fueled with ‘silly’ (awesome) distorted pentatonic guitar licks, as well as gated Linndrum EPROM drums (nerd stuff) and an ambient-esque saxophone theme song from an action movie that doesn’t exist - you are in for a treat!

LITTLE NOTHINGS (EP PREVIEW)

MIMS presents the exclusive premiere of “Autumn 2021” by underground hip hop producer and LA beat scene pioneer, Free The Robots. The track is a fresh drum-laden rework of Italian library classic, “Autumn 2001”, by Italian jazz pianist and electronic music pioneer Gianni Safred, and is forthcoming on Four Flies Records.

Four Flies Records, a Rome-based label, has been at the forefront of rescuing vintage Italian soundtracks and library music since its launch in 2015. They have rediscovered and made available previously unreleased or lesser-known music by renowned Italian composers such as Piero Umiliani, Alessandro Alessandroni, Giuliano Sorgini, and Silvano D’Auria, among others. These findings have made their way into the homes of record collectors, as well as the wider public, including on Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time in Hollywood and TV shows like Good Girls and Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities.

With the recent release of Piero Umiliani’s ‘Discomania (Jolly Mare Lifting)’, Four Flies Records has launched RELOVED, a vinyl series where contemporary DJs and producers rework tunes from Italian golden age soundtracks and library music. The aim of the series is to spark a conversation between past, present, and future, joining the dots between Italy’s great film and library-music tradition and a global scene of forward-thinking producers.

The 7” releases are co-curated by fellow independent label Little Beat More, who stated, “We're giving new life to music from some of the greatest Italian composers of the past. It's all about sampling, and that's why we decided to involve not only electronic producers but also highly talented beat makers, and we decided to focus mostly on the 7-inch format which is so popular among hip hop lovers. It's a project with no boundaries. The producers and beat-makers involved come from all over the globe.”

The first release in this series is the 7” ‘Autumn 2001 / Autumn 2021,’ with an original track from Italian jazz pianist and electronic music pioneer Gianni Safred and a rework from musician, DJ, and beatmaker Free The Robots. Free The Robots said about the release: "The sounds used back in the 60's and 70's are partly where I model my own sound and many Italian bands from the era played a big role in the inspiration of my music. To add to the narrative is really just the continued preservation of classic sounds, re-told and flipped in my own way as a producer of this era. My take on Autumn 2001 was more a drum heavy, loopy and spaced out approach to the original song".

Chris Alfaro, aka Free the Robots, is one of the key figures of the West Coast experimental beats scene, a movement that has changed beat making globally, and forever. He is a musician, beatmaker, and DJ known for his ability to jump in and out of different sonic worlds, creating a unique signature sound blending electronic, hip hop, jazz, and psychedelia. His free-flowing imagination keeps his productions constantly moving forward – away from robotic monotony, ultimately freeing the robots. He continues to build his lineup of original recordings in unpredictable directions. The energy and technical skill behind his live performances have landed him a place among the greats, sharing stages with the likes of Flying Lotus, DJ Shadow, and DJ Krush.

Both the 7” vinyl and digital editions of ‘Autumn 2021 / Autumn 2001’ are due for release on 31 March on Four Flies Records.

Wanting to do things a little differently, Peggy offered to take on our 189th Truancy Volume exploring her more downtempo and chill-out picks. Coming in at just under an hour Peggy works her way through tracks by Erykah Badu, hip-hop classics by Black Star, dub from Rhythm and Sound and low BPM groovers from the likes of Wolf Müller and Larry Heard: "I started making this mix a year ago and have been adding tracks and making changes to it since. Sometimes I really enjoy making mixes with tracks that I usually don't play in club but with the nice home listening stuff I like to listen to when I need break from dance music. It features a lot of my favourite artists, legends like Patrick Cowley, Haroumi Hosono, Larry Heard, Mos Def and Erykah Badu, who are all big inspirations of mine.  The way it has been put together means the tracks are sequenced in a way that is slightly different than how I would put them in a DJ set, and shows a little bit more of my personal music taste than the club-style mixes people have heard from me before.  I hope you enjoy it!"

Melbourne’s 30/70 join forces with London and Australia’s South East elite beat-makers to deliver ‘Fluid Motion: Remixed’ on Rhythm Section International.

After the fruits of 2018’s luminous and lifted ‘Elevations’ iteration, we were keen to see how the rich, soulful and instrumental layers of last Summer’s ‘Fluid Motion’ LP could be reimagined by some of the key players in our mutual musical scenes. So, we invited a selection of our nearest and dearest to create their take on the track from the record that spoke to them most.

The ‘Fluid Motion: Remixed’ EP expands the album’s effortless eclecticism but offers energies more suited to the dancefloor that we’re missing oh so much. The first single comes from fellow label affiliates SAUL who kick things off with a bouncy breaks flip of N.Y.P., transforming it’s tender tones into a bright and lively party starter. It’s followed up by Peckham’s hazy house producers, Athlete Whippet, who inject ’Tempted’ with foot-stomping percussion and a moody electronic groove. We then move to the Southern Hemisphere with Close Counters, who serve up an ‘Impermanence’ rework that journeys from sweaty bruk stylings to a sunny club chug. Setwun amps up the heat of Allysha’s pacey lyrical performance in title track ‘Fluid Motion' with squelchy low-swinging synths, showcasing his signature fusion of dance and funk. From Sydney’s self-proclaimed ‘Soulstranaut’ to “the Dilla of Deptford” (STW), Maxwell Owin chops up ‘Tempted’ with a vigorous chasing tempo, twinkling glitches, a plunging bassy breakdown and seductive whispers to propel his gritty-city sonic aesthetic into a far-flung atmospheric nebula.

The Fluid Motion remix project sees the musical worlds of SE16 and Melbourne meet once again, proving it to be an alliance that just keeps on giving.
