Afronaut ft: Suheir Hammad "EYE WILL NOT" demo-lition mix

Artist: Marcus Malone & The Motor City Hustlers
Title: Hurt Walks Out The Door
Release date: February 23rd, 2024
Label + Cat No: Ramrock Red Records/ RRR057


As Rhythm and Blues goes, this fabulous track doesn’t get any better. 'Hurt Walks Out The Door' is a collaboration between Detroit music legend, Marcus Malone and Dan Smith of The Noisettes taken from their awesome new collaborative long player, ‘Interstate 75’, on Ramrock Red Records. The track follows in the footsteps of those deep soul, heartwrenching, tear jerkin’ ballads popular in the 60's and 70's, joining up the musical dots between 60’s Stax, Motown and Cadet, creating an instantaneous authentic classic vibe. All of Marcus's previous releases from his ‘Interstate 75’ album have been championed by Craig Charles on his BBC 6 Music 'Funk and Soul' radio show – and Mr Charles knows a thing or two about good music.

Growing up in Detroit, Michigan meant that Marcus Malone has always been open to musical diversity. One time member of Mitch Rider’s ‘Detroit Wheels’, he hung out with the MC5, opened for Bob Seger and Iggy Pop before Ike Turner’s management moved him to LA, signing with United Artists Records and Motown Records producing an all-black original rock band for the label. Marcus has worked with Maceo Parker, Jocelyn Brown, Phillip Bailey and Nile Rodgers. As a supreme vocal stylist, Marcus’s soulfully phrased lyrics saw him nominated in 2014 for Best Recorded Session + in 2017 for Best Album for ‘A Better Man’ by European Blues Awards. Marcus Malone and Dan Smith first met at a Blues jam night in Croydon in the early ‘00s with Dan joining Marcus’ band + featuring on his albums ‘Walking Shoes’ (2002) + ‘Blue Radio’ (2003). Dan also founded the internationally acclaimed group, The Noisettes, with stunning vocalist, Shingai Shoniwa. Their hit single, ‘Don’t Upset the Rhythm’ featured on a Mazda TV advert and went on to claim the No 2 position on the UK charts.

MIMS is absolutely stoked to premiere this incredible Afro-cosmic broken beat remix by Afronaut, legendary pioneer of the broken sound, and keyboard whizz & producer extraordinaire Mark de Clive-Lowe, for upcoming producer, Fradinho. Set for release on his own newly minted Eclectic Beats Music.

A Portuguese native, DJ, producer and video artist, Rui Fradinho has resided in London for many years, soaking up every faint whiff of broken beat the city had to offer. The wheels have long been in motion, but since his recent return to Portugal, Fradinho has announced the launch of his own Eclectic Beats Music imprint, with one of his first compositions, "A Bright Future", complemented by remixes from the aforementioned Afronaut & Mark de Clive-Lowe, alongside Karmasound, LSK, Born74  and Szajna. 


Afronaut’s remix of Fradinho’s "A Bright Future" adds that percussive broken beat stamp that he is well known for, whilst the estimably talented Mark de Clive-Lowe supplies a cosmic touch with his keys, synths and synth bass. 

Picking up some of the elements of the original mix, Afronaut delivers a steady and syncopated beat groove that is perfectly complemented by the keyboard textures and flourishes that Mark de Clive-Lowe has been long been celebrated for. 

This remix also marks the long-awaited return of Orin "Afronaut" Walters to music production duties. Long established, not only as a founding member of the Bugz In The Attic collective, but also for his own solo work as Afronaut, on labels such as Bitasweet, Apollo (R&S) & Afro Art, and as one third of the legendary Neon Phusion (with Kaidi Tatham & Alex Phountzi). In recent years, Orin has nurtured new producers driving the bruk revival and veterans running on a victory lap, via his own CoOperation Recordings, with releases from WheelUP, Ben Hauke, Marc Mac and Planetself

“A Bright Future”, original and remixes, is released on very limited vinyl and digital on October 9th on Fradinho's Eclectic Beats Music label. Available to pre-order now on Bandcamp.
