Be With Records and Emotional Rescue team up to present a special release of US jazz vocal group Rare Silk and their cult song, Storm. 

A diggers cut for many years, more recently it's become an algorithm "hit". Presented here as a stand-alone limited 10" release, the song is backed by a spellbinding echo-drenched remix by New York's exemplary electronic sonic explorer, Arp. 

Originally formed when sisters MaryLynn and Gaile Gillaspie met Marquerite Juenemann in southern California in the late '70s, with the arrival of Todd Buffa the trio quickly expanded to a four-part harmony vocal group. Signed to Polydor, they rose to prominence over the ensuing decade with the release of three albums that gained them multiple Grammy nominations. 

Taken from their 1985 album American Eyes, Storm is based on a Stanley Turrentine song of the same name, from his 1971 album Salt Song. With additional vocals written by MaryLynn, as with much of their music -underpinned as it is by an otherworldly exotica - the artisanal, crafted care of the instrumental and vocal arrangements, featuring lush, rich phrasing, is evident in their exquisite reading of the song. 

When deciding how best of present the song it seemed right to ask a favourite of both labels. Having appeared on Emotional Response in 2017/18, Alexis Georgopoulos returned to his Arp project with last years' much-heralded Zebra album on Mexican Summer. Stripping out the vocals, the remaining instrumental is rearranged, rebuilt and then soaked in heavy tape echo. The result is a discerning dub to act as the perfect accompaniment.

B. Rare Silk - Smooth (Arp Duppy Chip Mix)

Artist: Smagghe & Cross 
Title: 1819
Label: Offen Music 
Release date: 27.01.2020 
Format: 12“ LP

This second Lp on Offen is an ajar window overlooking the phantasmagoric world of Smagghe & Cross, a remembrance of days that never were. The music is sparse, the past is forever : ghosts of industries are conjured through the English countryside, fading memories play static with an idea of romance, the sun breaks through the iron clouds. A record free of uncouth nostalgia but laced with ethereal melancholia.

Touch Sensitive Records - TSR19 Gatefold Double LP / CD / DL - Friday 6th November 2020 

“I like the drive as much as the scenery”. Buckle up as producer, DJ, and archivist Cherrystones (Gareth Goddard) takes you on a return trip to Critical Mass! 

Those in the know speak of Cherrystones alongside the finest curators and compilers of our time. Preferring to move in the shadows, you won’t find Cherrystones on every identikit summer festival line-up or playing the big bucks Discogs tease on social media. However, it is why you will find him as one of the most long-standing members of the NTS family - “the greatest ever to do it”, according to founder Femi Adeyemi. And it’s why a host of underground artists make the call to check out his legendary record vault when passing through town. Or maybe you will have caught him at ease for hours behind the decks in the corner of an intimate, dimly lit joint pulling out killer jam after killer jam... 

Running parallel to his world renown for collecting, archiving and sharing the furthest-flung sounds, Goddard’s own productions and soundtracks have long been revered - recently scoring campaigns for Adidas, Stone Island and YMC. Self taught as a teenager on a range of instrumentation and DIY production/programming techniques, his work is driven by the original idea of punk as an aesthetic - a creative portal devoid of rules. He has a life-long obsession with the soundtrack and was also gripped early by a love of rap (a trusted MPC 2000 never far from his side). The channeling of context, underscore, timing and placement has always fuelled the distinctive flavour of Cherrystones’ output. 

This open-eared and open-armed approach is what makes ‘Critical Mass Vol.2’ another stunning compilation. As Goddard states: “this is not a rare-for-rare-sake appendix of bands designed to showcase exclusivity and superiority”. These are tracks that have lived with him, and he has lived within, gathered over travels throughout Europe - living, DJ-ing, and creating. 

Five years on from the first volume, this eighteen track compilation once again fully outlines the breadth and possibility of the post-punk and new wave era. “Many of these artists fell by the wayside as underdogs or were just too ahead of their time. These selections have strong rhythmic undertones - percussively and tonally - and you can hear the subtle influence of dance music and the dance floor as a reference point.” 

On our journey we hear hyped up punk-funk from the Netherlands in the form of Konec, the cosmic synth-stomp of Daniele Baldelli approved Italians - Neon, the gonzo, outsider shrieks of England’s Loco Lotus, through to the dark, dance floor groove of Belgium’s Siglo XX and, of course, there’s a whole heap more outré excursions on the way. 

“From one of the last true originals - a personal, passionate draft of a "scene" that could have been. As far as possible from diggers' wet dreams - most of the music here is/was hidden in plain sight. So take one step back and figure out what might have gone wrong." 
Vladimir Ivkovic

"There are not many people who can dig like Cherrystones. Never exploiting nostalgia and never after the rarest Discogs $$$ - he just puts his culture on the platter. This new volume does not fail - clean discoveries and forgotten hits. This is about knowledge but also about soul."
Ivan Smagghe (Kill The DJ/Channeling)

"Thank you for saving us with this re-education of what musical expression and language is really about!"
Andrew Fearn (Sleaford Mods/Extnddntwrk)

“Cherrystones has led me wide-eared into countless thrilling rabbit holes of discovery. He is a fountain of arcane knowledge and a constant source of inspiration. Critical Mass 2 is another killer! Buy it and be prepared to be both staggered and utterly beguiled!"
Nathan Gregory Wilkins (Cowboy Rhythmbox/Channeling)

"Cherrystones - the best to ever do it."
Femi Adeyemi (NTS Radio Founder)

Alternative Fakten Theme #2

Telmo Trenor (Egia 1986) musikari eta Dja da. Hip Hoparen inguruan urteetan zehar mugitu ondoren, 2015. urtean MAPS (Soulles Lab. Records) lana argitaratzen du kasete formatuan, bere bakarkako lehen erreferentzia. Samplerra eta sintetizadore gutxi batzuz lagundurik, beat ezberdin zenbait biltzen dira bertan. 2018. urtean, bere bigarren lana plazaratzen da, HEAT (Elsa Records) izenpean. Bigarren bilduma honetan ere, erritmo ezberdinak biltzen dira baina tonu udatiar eta funkyago batek hartzen du protagonismoa. 2019an, azken lan honen erremixak kaleratzen ditu Haus Of Beats zigiluak, “Heat remixed” izenburupean. 
2019 urteaz geroztik bestalde, Pelax taldeko kide da, euren ABDE bildumako ekoizpenean arte hartzen duelarik. 2019az geroztik ere Sateliteak saioa zuzentzen du Naiz irratian.
