HSH-lab - September, 3rd 2022

‘With Love’ comes straight from the heart of London-based programmer, DJ and serial cratedigger Miche; who presents a curated selection of rare Brazilian, gospel, modern soul and jazz-fusion fire. 

A selection of hard-to-find records (some impossible to find) and some that have been hiding in plain sight all along. They all share common qualities, being that they are beautiful, soul quenched songs that sing of love, peace and unity.

Superior Elevation - It Was September

Glenn Fallows and Mark Treffel released their first album, ‘The Globeflower Master Vol. 1’, on Mr Bongo in September 2021. With its lush, warm and timeless productions paying homage to classic 60s and 70s soundtrack composers, it was very well received and struck a chord with the scene’s connoisseurs. Louder Than War emphatically stated, "It’s impossible not to like The Globeflower Masters Vol. 1.”, with Gigwise echoing that praise “slickly compelling retro vibes”. 

The Globeflower Master Vol. 2 is the slightly edgier and more grown-up sequel to Mark and Glenn's 2021 debut album. For this excursion, the Brighton-based duo wanted to lean a little further into their European film soundtrack influences, with particular inspiration mined from the works of Stefano Torossi, David Shire, and Roger Webb. This expansion of their sound builds upon the rich tapestry of cinematic funk à la David Axelrod, Serge Gainsbourg and Morricone that fashioned Vol. 1. Here the arrangements, melodies, and harmonies have been refined; only what is needed is left. 
 
The recordings are drenched in visual imagery; they stimulate the senses and invite the imagination to roam. Ethereal, hazy memories of lost summers are triggered; the beauty of listening to music when driving along a deserted road in the Italian countryside lined with cypress trees heading towards the sun, and beyond. As the musical journey progresses, we even take a voyage to another planet. Whether these memories are real or constructed recollections of scenes from film and television, the tracks evoke a feeling of nostalgia and comfort. Like all the best music, 'The Globeflower Masters Vol. 2' takes us out of ourselves even if it's only temporarily.
 
To consolidate the shape of the sound, drummers Timmy Rickard and Ollie Boorman (who also featured on Vol. 1) and John Maiden (Tricky collaborator) sprinkled their magic and forged their stamps onto the recordings. Collaborating with other talented musicians contributed to the picture Mark and Glenn wanted to paint. The ‘Globeflower Master Vol. 2’ is a fitting tribute to the music they love and care deeply about and a glorious addition to their musical world.

A private press rarity that few know of, ‘Song of Island’ was the third album from pianist Yasuhiro Kohno’s trio, recorded live at the jazz club and live house (gig venue) ‘Again’ in August 1985. Pressed up in small numbers, ‘Song for Island’ was issued on the private ASCAP Records, set up by pianist and band leader Yasuhiro Kohno.

The album is a follow up to Kohno-san’s previous two albums, ‘Peace’ and ‘Roma in the Rain’, released on the cult Aketa’s Disk label. However, unlike the ‘Peace’ and ‘Roma in the Rain’ albums, ‘Song of Island’ has never been reissued before – until now. The title track was included on J Jazz volume 3. This is a very special album that captures a special time in Japanese jazz, when exemplary acoustic jazz was still being performed and recorded by dedicated and talented artists at the height of mid-80s synth pop. ‘Song of Island’ features four original compositions by Yasuhiro Kohno plus a distinctive take on a jazz standard.

Yasuhiro Kohno was born in Nara, southern Japan, in 1953 and made his professional debut as a member of Japanese rocker Eikichi Yazawa’s band before going on to accompany actor/singer Masatoshi Nakamura. As well as recording and performing under his own name, Kohno has also played with American musicians such as Richard Davis and Mal Waldron and continues to perform regularly in Japan.

‘Song of Island’ will be issued as a full reproduction of the original work, with inserts, translated original sleeve notes, plus new sleeve notes, photos, and an interview with Yasuhiro Kohno by Tony Higgins.

Mix 2022

Bassist, drummer and Agile Experiments bandleader Dave De Rose returns with a brand new project for 2023, called Rave At Your Fictional Borders. To introduce the new group, he has shared an exciting video edit capturing a live performance named “National Phantom”, due for release on March 9th.

This video captures a studio session from the Athens-based band’s second recording day, which went down at Electricity Sound Studio in Athens, Greece in January 2023.

The brand new ‘Rave At Your Fictional Borders’ grouping follows a long and impressive run of releases by Dave De Rose’s Agile Experiments. This new project takes inspiration from its predecessor's improvisational and avant-garde approach, but explores new territory by incorporating ambient, noise, and techno elements. This comes at a time when people are increasingly tired of outdated ideas like territorial control and elitist systems.

"National Phantom EP", a two-track release from the second day of recording, is dropping on March 9th, 2023. The EP includes live performance videos and a free digital download. For the vinyl collectors, there's a limited edition 10" lathe cut version, hand-pressed by LoFi Concept. Keep an eye out for more music from the project - the rest of the recordings will be released on their full-length LP in early 2024, along with additional EPs featuring different musicians.

Dave De Rose tells us, “I've been harvesting this project for over two years, some of that just in my head. Last year it finally started to come together while playing a lot with Marius Mathiszik and various combinations of fantastic sound artists in Athens. The project has a more narrow improvisation concept than Agile Experiments, we are blending the realms of dance-inducing repetition with avant-garde, ambient and techno, occasionally dabbling with an aggressive punk edge. It's been a refreshing experience to witness the project's output getting stronger and stronger over the year and just like with Agile Experiments, it's the musicians we've recruited bringing their own flavor to the band's sound that has made it become its own unique blend. Very excited to share these videos and the next 3 releases taking us all the way into 2024!!

“National Phantom (live performance)” features MIMS favorite Jan Van on drums, Saber Rider on keys, samplers, loops & fx, Marius Mathiszik on guitars, loops & fx, and Dave De Rose on bass & fx.
Recorded by Dimitris Staikopoulos at Electricity Sound Studio, mixed & mastered by Dave De Rose at KK38, and filmed & edited by Nefeli Papaioannou.
