“What am I to build, if my hands are broken, if I’m not the chosen one?” sings Steven McKellar of Civil Twilight on “Story of An Immigrant”, over a lush, dynamic beat that evokes the sounds of his native South Africa while steeped in the band’s everevolving present. The foursome (Steven, his brother and guitarist Andrew, drummer Richard Wouters and Kevin Dailey on keys and guitar) are living proof of what happens when you stop worrying about being the chosen one and make music built on both the roots that grew you and the love that keeps you thriving every day. Civil Twilight’s songs embrace every corner of human emotion, balancing delicate, poetic lyrics with sweeping arrangements that touch all the senses: a phrase to make you think; a rolling drumbeat you can feel in your bones; a guitar vamp as illustrative as a picture; a shimmer of keys whose light can nearly be seen and heard. Produced by Ben H. Allen (Gnarls Barkley, Bombay Bicycle Club, Cut Copy), their third record on Wind-Up is built on this vibrancy, on the permanent dust of a Cape Town youth; on the connection that unites them all as brothers beyond blood and on their new home in America where they pull from the innate, thriving musicianship of Nashville, where they live. When you listen to Civil Twilight, from their self-titled debut, to 2012’s widely lauded Holy Weather to now, it’s easy to understand why the band has topped five million YouTube views and reached historic success with film and television syncs – because it’s music you can’t shake, that translates experience into moments and creates melodies that become imbedded deep under the skin. We’re all immigrants, in some way, and Civil Twilight’s singing our national anthem.

4BeatClüb - dj/producer from London with tracks played by Defected's Sam Divine, BBC Radio 1, Julio Bashmore, Large music's Jeff Craven, Giom, Lady Blacktronika, Sebastian Davidson, Hunger Culture and IDJ's Russell Deeks for thisiswhywedance. Releases have featured on Inner City, Large, Blockhead, Nightbird, Savoir Faire, Form and Function, Different Attitudes and Charmed Life. Influenced by the house and garage sounds from pirate radio stations and clubs in London since the 1990s it all started with a chance meeting of Double G, of the Dreem Team’s label DJs For Life, in a South London pub. A mix tape was later passed on that led to dj sets playing in bills including Double G, Timmy Magic, EZ and more recently Giom, Lil’ Mark, Luke Solomon, Coat of Arms, Martin Akin and Leftwing and Kody in London, Budapest and Chicago. Production techniques were honed in various roles at recording studios in London before James built a studio to produce original music focusing on fresh composition. 4BeatClüb is breaking through as a respected regular on the underground scene with numerous releases in the pipeline on some of House music’s finest labels...    

New album 'The Phantom Five' out August 30.
