AN DON

‘Measures / Island In The Sun’ is yet another accomplished single from Nostalgia 77. Out on 2nd March, this digital double A-side highlights two tracks from ‘Measures’, the second album under his Nostalgia 77 And The Monster guise, which came out in December, capping a huge 2014 for the prolific music maker; last year also saw him releasing an acclaimed solo LP and a collaborative dub/jazz album with Prince Fatty (including a BBC 6Music Playlisted single), as well as producing Jamie Cullum’s worldwide hit LP ‘Interlude’.

Nostalgia 77 And The Monster brings a flavoursome take on instrumental jazz and has been supported by Gilles Peterson, Cerys Matthews and many more tastemakers.

This single features their rendition of Sun Ra's otherworldly “An Island In The Sun” and the album’s title track, “Measures”, which has gained radio support from the likes of BBC 6Music’s Huey Morgan. Both tracks serve up homages to the artist’s influences, encased in the rhythms and melodies within.

Previous praise for Nostalgia 77 And The Monster:

“The most refined, jazz improvised music around at the moment, really great” – GILLES PETERSON (BBC 6MUSIC)

“Inventive and accessible” – 4 STARS – THE GUARDIAN

“A super-cool collection… performed by a crack team of young jazzers” – 4 STARS - METRO

Review : http://bit.ly/1T0XF6i

@Werkha, c’est un mélange de deep électro et d’influences afrobeat, jazz et funk, soutenu de longue date par Gilles Peterson ou Julie Adenuga. Considéré comme l’un des talents électro les plus prometteurs d’Angleterre, le jeune producteur a fait ses armes en première partie de Bonobo, Chet Faker, Mr Scruff, Gilles Peterson, Quantic, GoGo Penguin, Romare ou encore Clap! Clap!.
N’oublions pas le remixer, Contours (@tom-burford)  :
Né à Cumbria et basé à Manchester, Contours explore les espaces, les rythmes et les textures entre House, Jazz, Afro-Beat, Electronica ou encore Hip Hop. Très tôt plongé dans un environnement musical varié, ses productions sont marquées par une rythmique habile et diverses influences venues d’Afrique et d’Amérique latine. Repéré par Boiler Room ou the Ransom Note, il est aussi soutenu par Thris Tian, Crazy P, Tasker, Will Saul, Joris Voorn, Auntie Flo, Cottam, Luv Jam. Avec un nouveau projet pour 2016 et une émission radio sur Fly High Society et Reform Radio, Contours commence à se faire un petit nom sur la scène underground britannique.
