The Slims - "Only A Part, Not The Whole"

Whites Not My Color This Evening

WAAN represents the musical marriage of seasoned saxophonist Bart Wirtz and keyboard wiz Emiel van Rijthoven. As a pair of self-confessed tech nerds hailing from The Netherlands, their bromance was a slow burning one, but nevertheless their eventual collaboration fulfilled a dream that they’d both held close since first working together back in 2010.

Omi, the second single to be taken from their debut album Echo Echo, has something of an Ethiopique feel, largely thanks to the low slung groove laid down by guest drummer Jimmi Hueting and the dark, crunchy bass line of Kasper Kalf. The track sprung to life via a piano melody that was eventually, and organically, transformed into alto sax and bass clarinet. The use of those instruments gave Omi a kind of Arabic or Middle Eastern flavour to add to the already steamy musical stew. The duo then sprinkled on icy synths to cool things down somewhat and give the piece a more electronic and club friendly feel which complements the hot Afro horns that ride the rhythm throughout. And finally, to add the finishing touches to this heady concoction, Emiel and Bart visited renowned beat maker Frank Wienk, better known as BinkBeats, who not only added his trademark percussion but also blended a little vibraphonette (a special kind of Italian vibraphone) into this mystic brew to create a unique and cosmic outernational sound!

With influences as disparate as Floating Points, BadBadNotGood and Eddie Harris, Echo Echo is far more complex than just being a dance music influenced jazz record. Co-producer Oscar de Jong, of Kraak & Smaak fame, encouraged the pair to play freely as part of a jazz group and then add the electronic elements. As a result the album owes as much to Duke Ellington and Lalo Schiffrin as it does NERD and The Eurythmics!

Here is the Ha - Ze Factory's remix of the track 'I Try To Talk To You' which is co-written by the excellent John Grant. The track is taken from the forthcoming album 'The Feast Of The Broken Heart' which was released on the 26th May.

The first vocal collaboration of the new album's recording sessions, John's sexy tomcat voice and lyrical ability for translating hardship into elegance lent themselves greatly to the new album.

Andy Butler explains: "I asked John to dig deep with his lyrical contribution. I had no idea he would dig so deep. He tackled the story of becoming HIV positive, and while I mentioned to him that he did not need to go there if he was not comfortable, in that beautifully punky, spirited and courageous way he has about him, he told me that was what the song was going to be about. What came of it is an elegant song featuring John singing and playing his heart out.”

'I Try To Talk To You' was released with remixes on the 9th June.

WBFS // Wave Machines - I'll Fit

"I eat my dinner in my bathtub
Then I go to sex clubs
Watching freaky people getting it on
It doesn't make me nervous
If anything I'm restless
Yeah I've been around and I've seen it all 

I get home, I got the munchies
Binge on all my Twinkies
Throw up in the tub, then I go to sleep
And I drank up all my money
Dazed and kinda lonely 

You're gone and I gotta stay high
All the time to keep you off my mind
Ohoh ohoh
High all the time to keep you off my mind Spend my days locked in a haze Trying to forget you babe, I fall back down I gotta stay high all my life to forget I'm missing you 

Pick up daddy's at the playground
How I spend my day time
Loosen up their frown, make them feel alive Oh make it fast and greasy I'm numb and way too easy

You're gone and i gotta stay high
All the time to keep you off my mind
Ohoh Ohoh
High all the time to keep you off my mind Spend my days locked in a haze, tryin to forget you babe, I fall back down I gotta stay high all my life to forget I'm missing you

Staying in my play pretend
Where the fun ain't got no end
Can't go home alone again
Need someone to numb the pain
Staying in my play pretend
Where the fun ain't got no end
Can't go home alone again
Need someone to numb the pain

You're gone and I gotta stay high
All the time to keep you off my mind
Ohoh ohoh
High all the time to keep you off my mind Spend my days locked in a haze Trying to forget you babe, I fall back down I gotta stay high all my life to forget I'm missing you"
