Taken from  the album: ES - Planet Beyond - Selected Cuts Volume 1 (Ruiger Records | RGR-001)


Planet Beyond – Selected Cuts Volume 1 marks the first release on Ruiger Records, presenting the distinctive world of ES — a Dutch producer, multi-instrumentalist, and visual artist whose work flows effortlessly between live performance and studio creation.

Selected from an ever-growing archive built over the years, the music emerges from a deep vault of unreleased recordings spanning a wide range of moods and ideas. This collection offers a deeper look into a vivid creative universe of sound and feeling — a story that unfolds through rhythm, tone, and emotion. Each track adds a new shade to the journey, like a jigsaw falling into place, revealing new dimensions with every turn.

The music moves through eras and atmospheres — carrying echoes of ’90s electronic music and shaped by the spirit of ’70s jazz & funk. It’s expressive, natural, and percussive, full of motion and detail, where live playing, studio craft, and imagination merge into one seamless flow. The sound drifts from deep, funky electronic grooves to spacious, cinematic, and cosmic landscapes — music that invites you deeper with every listen. It sounds both new and familiar — as if rediscovering something ageless, still unfolding.

SIDE A2 - Brian Ellis - Bulletproof

Much of the way in which the world operates today, at a human level, concerns exploitation, using  another’s vulnerability for one’s own benefit, an idea so commonplace we only recognise its ill in the  extremes. From reflection, to acceptance, to hope, ​Forgotten Ones​ delves into the contradictions of  accepting the status quo while identifying it’s shortcomings.

Esencia​ is proud to present ​Forgotten Ones​, the new album from London based quintet Culross Close  (an alias of K15).

​‘Acceptance’  finds the quintet in familiar hip-hop territory, carving out a top tier groove with a recurring piano motif  of the highest order. Their vocals, this time more chant than choral makes for a brilliant 5 minute  mantra.
 
Culross Close​ are:
 
Bass - Eli Emmanuel 
Keys - Anthony Kieron 
Drums - May Goode
Synthesizers - Nathaniel Jiddu
Percussion & Incense - Hasani

Foldedspace On Jazz FM 19/7/2020 w/ Tony Minvielle feat. Alex Isley

If you’re into soul music with subtle jazz notes and soothing tones, you’re going to love HUMA.

22/09/2020

HUMA - Absence (TS Premiere)

MIMS is excited to premiere this absolute JAM from emerging artist Raquel Martins. Strong neo soul meets Brazilian inclined jazz from the London-based singer, guitarist and songwriter Raquel Martins.

21 years old singer/songwriter and guitarist Raquel Martins moved to London when she was only 17. The need to express herself through music appeared at a younger age while she was growing up in Portugal. Raised under the sun, she grew up listening to the endless classics from the Brazilian and jazz repertoire, but it was only when she discovered the world of contemporary hip hop, soul and jazz music that she realised she could create something new with all the sounds she had been absorbing over the years.

Influenced by the likes of Hiatus Kaiyote, Amy Winehouse and Brazilian artists Djavan, Milton Nascimento and João Gilberto, her music takes you on a reflective journey through themes such as personal development, purpose and individuality.

While "Real", her debut single, was an ode to new beginnings and to the pursuit of personal identity, "Freedom" portraits the moment where one realises they are no longer going in the right direction. This track describes the process of trying to free yourself from the people and old patterns that are making you drift away from your path. It’s the seek of peace of mind when you realise that you are becoming disconnected from yourself.

Self-released, "Freedom" will be available to stream from February 5th on all streaming platforms, plus download via Bandcamp.
