Before being called “the coolest man in music” (The Line of Best Fit), Paul Castelluzzo was a teenager surfing the beaches of San Diego and playing bars with local jazz greats like Curtis Taylor, until Rodney Jerkins brought him to Los Angeles to perform on tracks for Britney Spears and Justin Bieber. In between driving for Lyft and serving as the music director for a Russian Pentecostal church to make ends meet, he was enlisted for Romeo Santos’ album, Golden, but soon returned home to begin his next chapter as Hether. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince then, his self-taught guitar style, songwriting talents and profound production palette have led to him working with everyone from Clairo, Dominic Fike, Remi Wolf and The Marías to Paul McCartney, Anderson .Paak, Benny Blanco, Kali Uchis, Kenny Beats, Mac Miller, Rick Ross, Vince Staples and more who continue to discover Hether. Having already amassed millions of streams and hundreds of thousands of fans, landing music in HBO shows and scoring films, Holy Water marks both the culmination of everything Castelluzzo has experienced and accomplished, and an expansive new evolution of a project that has shaped the present and predicted the future, but remains entirely his own. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003e1.

A blend of Semba, Merengue, Kompas, Soukouss, Coladeira patterns, often pushing forward with a voodoo-like energy, solid bass lines, delicate melodies and backing harmonies of the rich Sao Tomean melodic traditions. Very first compilation focusing on the golden age of these island’s sounds, the 16 tracks selected will surely set fire on all dance floors !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLéve-Léve is the first ever compilation devoted to music from São Tome and Principe, two small islands situated off the coast of Gabon in central Africa. The album unravels a story of liberation where the music of Africa, Europe and the Americas unify with a carefree spirit personified by a phrase the islanders use all the time: “léve, léve” (“take it easy”). With echoes of Angolan semba and merengue, of Brazilian afoxê, of coladeira from Cape Verde and dance music from the Caribbean, it is a sound fiercely proud of its island heritage, sung in local dialects and using distinctive local rhythms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn this record you can hear the cultural and social history of São Tome and Principe, and how live music represented its beating heart. Once known as the “Chocolate Islands” (remarkably, these two tiny islands were the largest cocoa producers in the world, though now this title acts as a reminder of its colonial past), through the years leading up to independence from Portugal, music would be a fundamental voice of liberation and conviviality. Os Úntués were one of the first groups to make an impression, releasing a couple of 7 inches in Angola – the litmus test of success for any of the islands’ groups. They united unique rhythms and dances like socopé, puita and dança-congo – borne from the islands’ largely slave-descendant population – with the sound of pop music beamed in on the radio from Europe, even adding in a little bit of soukous and Brazilian instrumentation. Their main rivals were Conjunto Mindelo, who fused São Toméan rhythms with rebita, an Angolan style, to create high energy puxa, a truly original island rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the mid-1970s, coinciding with independence from Portugal in 1975, the islands’ groups featured an even stronger African influence and nowhere was that more apparent than with Africa Negra. They would listen to the latest records from Gabon, Zaire and Cameroon, taking inspiration and trying out phrasing from the greats of Central African guitar playing, developing a devoted fan base off the islands, as well as on. A score of other bands would follow a similar musical path, with a few getting their dues overseas in Angola, Cape Verde, Portugal and across Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOs Leonenses (led by the iconic Pedro Lima), Conjunto Sangazuza, Sum Alvarinho and Conjunto Ecuador were just some of the other bands that formed a lively home-grown music scene that lit up the islands’ bars and open-air shows from the 1950s through to the mid-90s. Regardless of class or age, they were responsible for keeping the population entertained come the weekend, with Sunday matinee shows the highlight of the week, the music not stopping from midday until midnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a Portuguese island colony that was for many years populated with slaves brought from Africa, São Tome and Principe has much in common with other Lusophone countries and boasts a richly complex and idiosyncratic musical DNA. Whilst the musical tapestries of Angola and Cape Verde are well known, São Tome and Principe’s secrets were assigned to the islanders themselves.

As long as she can remember, Jane Remover has practiced her own autonomy as much as possible. The 22 year old songwriter is an omnivorous listener that produces everything herself.

The Saint And The Stranger is yet another take on the more cinematic soul sound, with nods to the policier soundtracks of Cinevox, whilst Snick Snack gratifies our appetite for yet more hot, greasy blues. Finally, How Long Before You’re for yet more hot, greasy blues. Finally, How Long Before You’re Gone rounds out the album with a groove that wouldn’t be out of place on a Nina Simone playlist, a reminder that there has always been more to soul-jazz than late nights and fried chicken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoo Ha! is a reminder that music has always been about feel, not files.

The album captures USERS’ first 2 years as a dedicated live band and consists of ten tracks revolving around class oppression, capitalism, collective powerlessness, anger, love, and community. Welcome to Civilisation is written from within a system where the pressures of working life, finances, and human care are increasingly felt. The release takes place on May 1st, International Workers’ Day, as a deliberate statement of the album’s standpoint. For USERS, punk isn’t escapism or attitude - it’s a shared space for processing through music. Known for their intense live shows, the band dissolves the boundaries between stage and audience, turning the music into a collective experience rather than a performance. “It’s not about ego, it’s about the community we create,” says guitarist Esbjørn. “Standing together in anger, grief, responsibility and solidarity - instead of carrying it all alone - that is what punk is.” This same approach runs through Welcome to Civilisation. The music moves between anger and vulnerability, drawing threads to bands like IDLES, Rage Against The Machine, Lambrini Girls and Soft Play - but rooted in something distinctly political and personal. The sound on Welcome to Civilisation is very raw and honest. Just like the messages packed into the lyrics. Nothing is sugarcoated, like the themes the album is consumed by. The album is produced and mixed by the band’s very own bass player, Sune Weisberg Danger, going by the name “Wizzard” among the band members. Like the band’s graphics and merch made by their drummer Oskar Lauritzen Meyer, this is DIY to the core. You get what you see with USERS: four guys in a bunker, with a high level of technicality and a lot on their hearts and minds. It’s an album packed with a punch - music to blast straight into your ears on your bike, on your way to something or away from everything. Lyrics play a central role on the album, functioning as a shared language for the band’s experiences, conversations and activism. “The lyrics aren’t decoration,” Sean explains. “They’re a tool - a way of saying exactly what we need to say as a band. A manifesto.” Welcome to Civilisation gives voice to those often unheard - including the band themselves - rooted in working-class realities and moving between the personal and the systemic. Love and care stand side by side with anger and confrontation, grounded in the belief that change happens through community. “We are all USERS” The name USERS - always written in uppercase - is a deliberate political marker. “We are all USERS of this life-ruining drug called capitalism,” the band says. “No matter howv we live, we are part of a system that exploits others.” With Welcome to Civilisation, USERS insist that music can be a tool for taking a stand - not just a product. “If people react, take a position, or feel inspired to start their own punk band, then the album has done its job,” says drummer Oskar. USERS consists of: Sean Micheal Seldorf Flaherty - vocals Esbjørn Hannibal Hermansson - guitar Sune Weisberg Danger - bass, production and mix Oskar Lauritzen Meyer - drums, merch and logo designer The band has previously performed at, among others, Roskilde Festival, sold-out venues, and toured in Sweden, Norway and Germany. They are known for their political edge and ollective approach to both music and live performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLIST: \u003cbr\u003eA1. Gentrification \u003cbr\u003eA2.
