London born and based musician and multi-instrumentalist ​Zeb Samuels will be releasing his latest single, '​Positive Spirit' on 7 August via his own label ​Deep Heads​. The single is lifted from his upcoming EP, ​Vibration Exploration which will be available on the 21st of August and features ​Marc Cyril (who has worked with ​Joss Stone and ​Keziah Jones​) on bass, ​Byron Wallen (previously worked alongside ​George Benson​, ​Chaka ​Khan and ​Courtney ​Pine​) on trumpet and flugelhorn and ​Mcknasty (who has worked alongside ​Kammal ​Willaims​) on drums. The musician has seen support from a number of tastemaker publications, including the likes of ​CLASH, Magnetic Magazine, XLR8R, Electronic Groove and ​Decoded Magazine as well as airplay from ​BBC Radio 6 Music's
 
Gilles Peterson and ​Nemone​, ​5FM's ​Kid Fonque's​, by Belgium Tastemaker ​Lefto and ​Soulection ​Radio's Joe Kay. As a label owner, ​Zeb Samuels has worked alongside many rising artists, including the likes of ​SYNKRO, Djrum​, ​Joe Armon- Jones​, ​Congi and ​Geode.
Self-confessed music fanatic, ​Zeb Samuels grew up in London. This allowed for an abundance of music at his doorstep which would ultimately develop his appreciation for a wide variety of sounds and eventually lead to the self-taught pianist operating as a songwriter, producer and vocalist.

When discussing influences for the EP, ​Zeb Samuels cited to the variegated likes of Boards of Canada, Pink Floyd, Robert Glasper and ​LTJ Bukem​. His own sound reflects these influences, drawing strong parallels to the likes of ​Yussef Dayes, Alfa Mist, ​Mansur Brown ​and ​Portico​ ​Quartet​ coming to play while at the same time, maintaining its own unique integrity.

Opening with soulful jazzy soundscapes that draw you deeper into their waters, ​'Positive Spirit' acts as a cool breath of fresh air on a warm summer night. Radiating tranquil energy, ​Zeb Samuels ​envelopes a maturity within his sound, metaphorically easing the listener into its sonic arms. Made for open spaces as the listener gazes at the stars, the single is sure to bring peace of mind to all who listen to it.

Speaking of '​Positive Spirit'​, ​Zeb Samuels tells us: ​'I feel like this is a track that is an unveiling of a new light and embodies positivity amongst the dark times that we have encountered recently.'

Pletnev taste in music is quite eclectic. In 2017 & 2018 he did splendid afro & oriental flavored EPs for such imprints like Meda Fury, Bahnsteig23, Needs and Mehmet's & Majica’s Fleeting Wax. More atmospheric, dark and deep EPs went out via Le Temps Perdu, Biologic, Secretsundaze sublabel SZE & french experimental label KUMP.

Alex perfectly represents new lithuanian scene of electronic artists among names like Manfredas, Juoduomenė, V and many others. He residents in Vilnius mekka of nightlife - Opium club and became a part of “Opium of the People” compilation in 2018.

We are more than happy to welcome Alex on board. Listen & Enjoy⚡️

On this EP, AKWIUS utilizes a grimey, bass focused hybrid of rave and post rave theories to explore moods of the current dystopian utopia from a Mexican American perspective and push beyond boundaries of contemporary rave aesthetics.

Once, I noticed that I was surrounded by portals ... It's so amazing because of familiar things and even sensations: doors, tracks, melodies, rhythms, moods, colors, feelings, smells, thoughts - all these moves to different states, memories, and spaces...Along with this spontaneous insight, the understanding also came that I can use these observations of mine absolutely at any time...But, according to the classical scheme, in practice it turned out that not everything is so simple and to move you need to listen, watch, touch something for real - giving yourself completely...

When I began to practice my jumps into the unknown, it turned out that the most difficult thing is not to look back...After all, at some moments fear comes, which whispers in my ear, various doubts, all in order to knock off from the intended path...The usual paradigm ceases to exist and new energies make their own adjustments, sometimes, destroying the veil before our eyes, and everything appears in its true light...Having coped with the mind and the experiences coming from the outside, you might think that everything, now, for sure, no one will interfere with receiving true pleasure...Well, here the second test is hiding - habit...

Indeed, in human nature, the skill of adapting to almost any conditions is so highly developed, adding them to the daily routine...Therefore, it is very easy to get used to portals and that with their help, depending on the mood, you can change the reality...
The trap lies in the fact that the more often we walk along the same paths, the less we have a true feeling, therefore, we must try to find some previously unperceived details even where they can no longer be by definition, but better is trying to see new ways...

At the moment of these thoughts, I created this entry as a kind of chain of doors with new experiences...

Somewhere outside of the window...The universe speaks, by breaking the sunlight with ionized elements that penetrate into the depths of creatures living at different levels of the universe...Dew, lazily sparkling on a hazy leaf glisten to it moving with jewels suspended on it, spectrally scattering and radiates harmony...

With the pleasant lightness of early morning, inhaling the opalescent albumen, he tries to stir the frozen tongue in order to tell about the impressions that are arising from the seething mass of dreams, until they disappeared somewhere in the distant swapna levels...Lazy movements crave rejuvenating power and, following impulses, steadily controlling the senses, he forms a light body of vegetable proportions...
The ablution of the corporal membranes activates the alogisms that are hanging in extrapolated forms, allowing one not to follow these ritual patterns along which, distracting the inner observer, the mind so loves to wander...

''From the universe outside the window
the dew on the hazy leaf is speaking
lazily
glisten to it moving
with jewels suspended on it
like a thirsty frozen language
breathing in the opalescent
the albumen of the morning.
With breeziness of easy hour
a seething mass of distortions
arises from the seven seas of slumber
a rejuvenating power
that forms a body of vegetable proportions
a contour
hung in the coastal form
reflecting rainbows of a thunderstorm
the breaking light of gradual hues
uniting the viewer with the view
a soothing groan of the bough enhances
as it cleaves the air
the leaf leaves
a mantra in the branches.''
