Ronnie Lion - Central Village

Crafted by songwriter-producer Amy Spencer, the album intricately weaves improvised vocals with electronic processing to create a mesmerising exploration of the intersection between voice and technology.

An ethereal sonic journey of  layers of “You Don’t Know Me” envelops listeners in waves of delicate vocal melodies…
 
 

Spencer’s music evokes vulnerability and strength, blurring the lines between organic and synthetic, masculine and feminine.

“Though a proficient songwriter and a guest vocalist for artists including Bicep, TVAM, DC Gore and Motsa, like many women in music, Spencer often experienced ‘imposter syndrome’ within male-dominated environments, preferring to leave others to produce. But as Ammonite, Spencer decided to try something new – by leaving behind songwriting rules and ideas of what production should be, she began to unlock harmony and melodies she hadn’t accessed before, creating fragments of self-reflective lyrics, drones of humming vowels and broken repetitive words to construct Blueprints – her spectacular debut sonic manifesto, with her voice at the forefront (view the full press release & bio). “

The single is lifted from debut mini album, “Blueprints”.

Artist: M4LA
Track: Hoult (Instrumental)
Label: https://soundcloud.com/beyondersmusic
Format: Digital, EP
Release date: 29/03/24

Alongside James, aka J1Mi, Jason Goodings and Nick Grimes, Mal is an integral member of Beyonders, a collective of boundary-pushing artists dedicated to sonic experimentation. He has already achieved plenty over his career and plays everything from piano to guitar and drums. In the mid-2000s, Mal made his mark on the scene as one-third of Craggz and Parallel Forces and released an album, several singles, and EPs on labels like Valve and Product Recordings. He has also worked with James Hadfield (aka J1Mi) to produce guitar-focused music spanning more diverse genres and now shows his solo skill with this fine new EP.
'Hoult' opens up with an elegant, elastic rhythm built from funk guitar work and organic drums. Sustained chords speak to the heavens while the shimmering vocal brings the soul to this most feel-good groove. Following the laidback instrumental version comes the wonderfully seductive 'Diaspora'. This deep and late-night sound has a dubby undercurrent, with big hits echoing out amongst neat guitar riffs and cosmic sonic details. It reveals more with each listen and fuses downtempo, Balearic and organic house music in heartfelt fashion. Last is 'Violin Track', which is just that - a rousing piece powered by emotionally stirring violins that soar to the heavens next to mellifluous piano chords. It's brilliantly dramatic and will form a centrepiece in any set.
These are quite different but equally excellent explorations from M4LA on this latest EP from the Beyonders Music collective. In time, this series of label EPs will make up an album from the collective, so watch this space for further instalments.

The title track, “Helios’ bubbles up under the surface, aerating the airwaves with an infectious arpeggio, gated vocals, and spring-verbed percussion. It's a meditative, prodding groove fit for the 5 am sunrise slot.

Having hunkered down since his last release ‘Breathing Puddles’ in 2021, Cydux is back with ‘Helios,’ a five-tracker expanding upon his ethereal palette with a selection of dewy tunes drawing influence from dub techno, acid exotica, piano breaks, proggy house to reverb-soaked wave—an iridescent journey for the senses.

'Helios' EP releases on May 3rd on all digital platforms.
