Blood has gone on to release a series of sought after, lush and rugged future classics on his own imprints Blood Inc. and BodyTronixxx. Allegedly hailing from Manchester in the North of England, Blood’s sound is hard to pin down but instantly recognisable. Rooted in the twin foundations of modern dance music—Detroit and Chicago—while schooled in the sweaty basements of Manchester’s fêted club scene, his music feels both original and familiar, timeless yet unplaceable.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeaving together a hypnotic narrative that feels both archival and futuristic, Cause \u0026amp; Effect Vol. 1 brings together some of Blood's rare and hard to find bangers from a variety of his early sold out projects. The collection mixes the pulse of Chicago with the grit and cosmic dreams of Detroit, while never losing sight of the North of England’s sophisticated late-night sleaze. Blood’s dance-floor eclecticism and raw, infectious mutant beats drive a soulful, jazz-louche energy into every track. The result is a collection of atmospheric grooves that weave together hypnotic rhythm and smoky texture, blurring house, techno, broken beat, and jazz-soaked electronics into a heady trip. Cause \u0026amp; Effect Vol. 1 maps out the restless evolution of Blood’s sound, a testament to his instinct for rhythm, atmosphere and dance-floor alchemy. House for the heart, techno for the mind, both built for the body. It’s in the Blood. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLIST:\u003cbr\u003e1. Asid  \u003cbr\u003e2. That Night  \u003cbr\u003e3.

After finalizing the line-up with vocalist Spencer Chamberlain, the band recorded They're Only Chasing Safety with producer James Paul Wisner (Dashboard Confessional, Further Seems Forever, Paramore). In the heavy and punk music scene, the album is considered a watershed moment. The blend of heavy metal and hardcore influences with a strong pop\/punk sensibility spawned a new branch of heavy music. The sound eventually became synonymous with the screamo scene of the mid-2000s.

The songs that form their newest offering were written across Europe, often on off days and in borrowed rehearsal rooms. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt could be said that the band treat recording and release of music as an afterthought.

The process was frought with obstacles, the original plan, to go and record in Rhode Island, was abandoned when DITZ were offered a support tour with IDLES, although the album was still mixed by the originally intended engineer, Seth Manchester (Model\/Actriz, Lingua Ignota, Big Brave). The result is an album hardened by the pressure of its own making. Laboured but not loved. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album themes reveal themselves more on further listens. The opening gambit taxi man is an exploration into what it would be like to weigh up your impact of the world. The eponymous taxi man could be seen as a St Peter type figure. \u003cbr\u003e  Further on the album explores themes of unnecessary hatred and division, Space\/Smile and It smells like something died in here, aging, Senor Siniestro and the separation of the physical from reality, The Body As A Structure.

Feelings Of Hope\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the international praise for their 2024 debut album Where Did You Go?, Sandman Project return with Hearts Forever, the first album entirely composed, arranged and produced by guitarist, composer and bandleader Tal Sandman. Rooted in psychedelic groove, Middle Eastern musicality, funk, jazz and desert rock, it is a record driven above all by a wider spiritual belief in music as a force for connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf Where Did You Go? introduced Sandman Project as a borderless, brass-heavy outfit with a cinematic sound, Hearts Forever takes that vision somewhere more intimate and self-assured. Written following Tal's move from Jaffa to Leipzig, the album reflects a period of personal and creative transformation. Arriving in Germany without knowing whether she would find the right collaborators, she gradually assembled a new band through recommendations from fellow musicians, discovering a group capable of bringing her musical vision to life. For Tal, the music is not about drawing neat lines between styles or traditions. It is about taking inspiration from wherever it appears and reshaping it into something honest and alive. \"If music touches my heart, it inspires me\", she says. \"So much music already exists, but what we are doing is creating something new out of inspiration. You take the ingredients and make a new thing\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat philosophy runs through Hearts Forever. The album travels effortlessly between Middle Eastern melody, desert rock, Ethiopian modes, Afrobeat, funk, soul, jazz and psychedelia, never treating influences as destinations but as starting points for something entirely its own. Instead, the songs emerge as emotional landscapes, each growing from a melodic idea. \"A melody comes into my heart or mind and I try to dig deeper into it\", Tal explains. \"I give attention to the ideas that come\". That growing confidence also shaped the making of the album itself. After years of doubting whether she was ready to take full creative control, Hearts Forever became the first Sandman Project record entirely composed, arranged and produced by Tal herself, with long-time collaborator Tomer Baruch returning as mixing engineer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpening track \"Katara\" neatly illustrates the writing process behind much of Hearts Forever. Built from a melody that arrived in Tal's mind, the piece grew into a hypnotic groove led by classical oud and Middle Eastern rhythm. As with much of the album, Tal recorded the original demo almost entirely herself, laying much of the arrangement and even singing the trumpet parts before bringing the music to the band, leaving space for the musicians to shape and expand the compositions together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Questions Answers\" shifts the momentum up a gear, driven by Afrobeat-inspired drumming and an infectious call-and-response between Tal's desert-rock guitar lines and punchy brass responses. Layered vocals from Tal appear for the first time, while synth textures and a keyboard solo inspired by the atmosphere of an Arabic wedding celebration add to the track's celebratory feel, before it erupts into a loose surf-punk finale that has already become a live highlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElsewhere, \"So Said The Stone\" reflects some of the restless energy of Jaffa through 70s funk, Afrobeat and Middle Eastern guitar lines, while \"Abandawe\" folds Moroccan guimbri-inspired guitar, Ethiopian melodic ideas and funky brass into one of the album's most intricate arrangements. \"Kishuf\" slows the pace, drifting through languid funk towards Tal's vision of a desert Woodstock, complete with Tal’s \"magic flute\", transformed through reverb and delay into one of the album's most distinctive voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the centre of the record sits the title track, \"Hearts Forever\". More direct, soulful and emotionally open than much of Sandman Project's earlier material, it carries the album's central feeling: bittersweet, hopeful and innocent without being naïve. For Tal, the title speaks of memory, compassion and the possibility of connection across every divide. \"The title offers hope”, she says. \"It is about the hearts of people. I would love every person in the world to feel something\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat hope is never presented as an easy answer. Closing piece \"Feelings Of Hope\" was written as a response to the anger, division and violence Tal sees around her. Ending with the entire band singing together as a choir before Tal's searching one-take guitar solo, it becomes less a protest than a quiet act of belief. \"Choosing hate is easy,\" Tal explains. \"To go with hope takes more work”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the quiet force behind Hearts Forever. Almost entirely instrumental, the album deliberately leaves space for listeners to find their own stories within it. Without lyrics, the music is never confined to one language, nationality or identity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing support for Where Did You Go? from All About Jazz, DJ Magazine, Bayern Radio, Greedy For Best, Pipelines Magazine, Ban Ban Ton Ton and Laurent Garnier, Hearts Forever finds Sandman Project entering a new chapter: more confident, broader in vision and more deeply rooted in Tal Sandman's own creative voice. Rich, restless and full of feeling, Hearts Forever is music for uncertain times; a record about holding on to innocence, choosing compassion and believing, however quietly, that connection is still possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Batov Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47654462521500,"sku":"BTR143LP","price":22.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/1_6b14087d-2904-4e12-8557-dad418d1d09e.jpg?v=1789842826"},{"product_id":"orchestra-baobab-made-in-senegal-cd","title":"Orchestra Baobab - Made In Senegal [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: CD\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue No.: STRUT509CD \u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 4062548149005\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 23 Oct 2026\u003cbr\u003eGenre: World\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLIST:\u003cbr\u003e1.
