This year’s label-compilation thematically revolves all about the rise up from the generic. It is about young talented artists who are still struggling on their way up and are out there to make a name for themselves.

A wild stallion fights it’s way up from the dirt and tries to receive recognition by separating itself from the herd. Breaking through the anonymity of the group to the freedom of running through endless land- and soundscapes into horizons of new sonic worlds.

When you know your time at a certain beloved place is coming to an end, it leaves you in a state of emptyness and sadness. An important period of your life has come to closure and there is nothing left but appreciating the beautiful time you had. Right when you have finally gotten acustomed to a very foreign place and its own set of rules and regulations, you have yet again to readjust to an old, yet strangely new place once again and change your world completely. The aim of this EP is to soak in any sensory impressions, all details of light, color, smell of air and other odors and the look of the sky and the people going about their daily business, in order to make the most out of these last days.

Cómeme #24 - "Pitch Rider EP" in the mix

Luke Vibert - Ridmik

Aeron Aether; Terry Da Libra; Phrakture; vocalist Sean Darin; these are the headlining names listed on this massive 4 track EP; ‘Sparks’ EP. 
Nueva's A&R and label manager, Dave Pineda have worked hard to bring these top-tier quality tracks from artists that consistently aim high for your 
pleasure with ND142. ‘Sparks’ EP is likely to be one of the most masterfully produced and musically mature breaks releases you’ll hear this year!

Hungarian based producer, mastering engineer, Aeron Aether has once again used his stylistic approach to fusing beautiful orchestral elements 
with visionary electronic arrangements in ‘Sparks’. The EP contains the original instrumental track, and a vocal version in collaboration with 
singer Sean Darin that manages to add even more depth to such an intricate, yet overwhelming emotional ride. Gifted artist and Nueva-familiar 
Phrakture is on the docket once again, with an sharp, edgier and futuristic re-imagining remix that screams ‘breaks’ all over!

And finally, legendary Greek producer and widely supported artist, Terry da Libra [Lefteris Pimenidis], has come onboard and gifted the community
with an stunning, colossal progressive dance remix; it literally made this press release writer [yours truly] want to leave his the warm comfort 
of his apartment the day this was being written and go to a music show to continue the influx of good vibes! We hope you find these brilliant 
works as satisfying as we do, and thanks go out to artists and listeners both for allowing Nueva to serve as a conduit for musical excellence.

When i first delivered this remix, Scratcha DVA premiered a special version on Mary Anne Hobbs show. A version that featured Natalie Maddix doing improvised vocals on top of it. A very special and great moment for me personally. You can check out a clip of that here: https://soundcloud.com/slickshoota/scratchadva-mix-mah-xmf-jossryan-slickshoota-rmx

Our final Free Music Monday North American Takeover is from the amazing Stone's Throw Record's MC/rapper Jonwayne. Fresh out of high school, Jonwayne emerged alongside the new generation of Hip Hop beat-makers: Flying Lotus, Gaslamp Killer, Nosaj Thing and Daedelus at the Los Angeles club Low End Theory. First, he kicked up a stir producing homemade mix tapes before he caught the attention of Stone's Throw and was signed to record an album as an MC. This exclusive track has a 90s vibe with a verse from Oliver the 2nd and we are SO excited to share it with you! 

Jonwayne kicks of a solid month of shows through Europe on April 2nd:

Release You - Tom Misch & Carmody

Instead of promoting my new single today, I took an hour out of my day to make a tribute to the late Frankie Knuckles, who sadly passed away this morning. Without him most of us would be doing something else for a career. We own him that respect.

Frankie Knuckles 'Your Love' Tribute By Vince Watson

I discovered Frankie Knuckles through his music, one that was, gentle, lush with a subdued, understated power that rocked many a dancefloor.
I had the privilege to hear him once in the heyday of his legendary residency at Sound Factory Bar in New York. I was submerged, sonically and emotionally by the beauty of the music I heard that night. I remember very clearly saying to myself that this would be impossible to ever equal.
That was 20 years ago, and I never got to hear this magic combination again.

I got to meet Frankie a few times, and he was always like his music, gentle, humble,   yet naturally imposing

I've put together here some of my favorite music from him. So that his legacy can keep on inspiring other people.

Rest in peace, Frankie, may your music keep on moving people eternally

Teebs 'Why Like This', from the forthcoming debut album 'Ardour'. Get a FREE download of this track at <a href="http://www.factmag.com/2010/09/10/download-a-snow-capped-cut-from-brainfeeder-multitasker-teebs-forthcoming-album/">FACT magazine</a>.

"Teebs has such a unique and tender magic, as an artist, as a producer and as a human being...He's a gifted and rare kind...” 
- Mary Anne Hobbs 

“Everything he does is gold, he does HIS thing, always has and I suspect, always will.” 
- Dimlite 

As music from the Los Angeles area thrives and swells across the globe, one of it’s most beloved and deeply rooted members steps out with an LP full of infectious melodies, subtle hip-hop and a kaleidoscope of sound. Music for the imagination. 

Ardour is the debut album by long time running My Hollow Drum, Dublab, and recent Brainfeeder artist, Teebs. Born in New York to Malawi and Barbados origins, Mtendere (pronounced “ten- 
de-ra”) (Chichewa for “Peace”) Mandowa, is a 23 year-old producer who bounced around the East Coast before finally planting his feet in the Southern California suburb of Chino Hills. 

A city known for it’s rolling hills and FBI ranking of one of the safest in the United States, Teebs developed his artistry right outside Los Angeles’ county line and just south of the Orange County beach community. Music may have come by accident, literally. A skateboard injury sidelined Teebs, which led to a concentration on art. 

Through great focus and vision, Teebs made a name for himself as a skilled painter. His artwork found on canvases of all form, from walls to record covers, become imbued with vibrant color, energy, and shape. 

From paint and brush, Teebs slowly found himself in the world of music making. 

Early in his musical pursuits, Teebs joined a group of like-minded friends and producers who went by the name ‘My Hollow Drum’. Within this crew, he was able to build new ideas, share works and perfect his production craft. Intrigued with what was going on in Los Angeles’ evolving electronic scene, he never expected to fall directly into it. 

He began interning for the acclaimed online radio stream, Dublab. This sparked his self-expression, spirit and growth as an artist. Being around music, art and a creative atmosphere while brushing shoulders with the artists he admired from the area. 

Teebs was accepted into the Red Bull Music Academy for their 2008 edition in Barcelona, Spain. Upon arrival back home, Teebs became even more focused on his music and art. A chance meeting with Flying Lotus led to his involvement and joining of the newly founded Brainfeeder collective. Having previously heard from local producers and DJs about this new up and comer, Lotus didn’t hesitate to take Teebs under his wing after hearing some of his earliest beats. Ardour began to bloom. 

Ardour was made during two major periods of his life. Having just lost his job and with little to no money, Teebs moved into the same apartment complex as Flying Lotus and shared living quarters with another Brainfeeder affiliate, Samiyam. It was here that the beginning stages and one-half of Ardour were created. Before Teebs was aware his album was showing itself, his father who had been terminally ill, passed away. He moved back home and stopped making music. 

Back home, Teebs finished were he left off. 

Ardour, two years in the making, is the result of Teebs’ journey thus far. More than the music, it’s the feeling he wants to convey. The idea of hearing something you really love, the moment you know something is really special. Flying Lotus said, “Teebs music sounds like an island vacation...The way Avatar looks.” What’s often said about Teebs’ sound is the warmth it has on the listener. It’s only fitting that a title like Ardour, which is defined as “great intensity and warmth” is used to represent this essential chapter to the ever-growing puzzle of Los Angeles.

This EP is the outcome of a five month spanning transition between warm and bright summerdays to dark and dusky winterdays resulting in a change of moods that accompany this shift from lights, colours and sounds perceived everyday. It is a soundtrack made for commuting between different places in large urban spaces, filled by swarms of people shoaling and funneling across intersections, subway stations and central hubs like corpuscles pulsating in the cities veins, conducted by invisible algorithms in the symbiotic superorganism that is a metropole. 

<i>"I took a lot of inspiration from 3 main points of Tokyo City. There are traditional parks and shrines/temples that really take you away from the high rise buildings and make you feel like you could be in the countryside. Next, there are typical shops, neon lights, offices and general city life, and lastly, there is the red light area which is a great place to see all walks of life, from gangsters, working girls and strange things behind closed doors. I'm fascinated by this place, It seems like another world to me, I'm always drawn to it out of curiosity and the feeling I get while passing though is really inspiring."</i>

The EP also features a collaboration with https://soundcloud.com/sorrowgarage from Birmingham, UK, who has been making a name for himself in the scene since 2010.

Written, produced and mixed by <i>Robert James Orme</i> / https://soundcloud.com/submerse.
