Next up, Quantic takes the recent single ‘Aceleyo A a’ into new and unexplored territories, utilising space bending arpeggios and astral synths alongside a heavily swung rhythm section to incredible effect.

Starting in fine form, K15 blends shimmering keys and a shuffling beat with the euphoric vocals and trumpet melodies of his bruk-infused take on just released second single ‘Ancestry’. Joining the proceedings, South  London’s Maxwell Owin sharpens his amen chops on a twisting, abstract jungle soundscape version of ‘Worlds’ before IG Culture’s LCSM bring their unmistakable, brass-led syncopated stylings to the closing track ‘Full Moon’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vinyl only release is pressed in the greenest and most eco friendly way possible, while 20% of its profits is going to the supply of instruments to music schools in Cuba.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“A very important new generation Cuban Artist” (Gilles Peterson) gets a set of brilliant new remixes from Quantic, K15, LCSM, Osunlade, Maxwell Owin, Contours.

The 70s R\u0026amp;B-folk of “Watch It Like a Show” features an electric guitar solo from Hand Habits’ Meg Duffy, while album closer “Endless Sound” boasts backing vocals from electronic musician Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith and swooping Indian-inspired violins from Amir Yaghmai (HAIM, The Voidz). The record shines brightly thanks to an ace mix from veteran producer Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliott Smith, Cat Power), woodwinds from Logan Hone (John Carroll Kirby, Eddie Chacon), and a featured rhythm section of drummer Josh Adams (Jenny Lewis, Bedouine) and bassist Todd Dahlhoff (Feist, Devendra Banhart). Recorded across multiple studios including LA’s famed Sunset Sound, the album remains steadfastly buoyed by the adept engineering of Tyler Karmen (MGMT, Alvvays).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn March of 2020, after learning that a dear friend’s life was coming to an end, Johansing sat down and in one sitting wrote the song “Daffodils”. An elegiac tribute to someone facing death with grace and curiosity, the lyrics confront Johansing’s own mortality by observing the brief lifespan of a Hlower. Only a week later when the world came to an abrupt standstill, she soon found herself processing this recent loss while trying to make sense of a new global reality. Across the ensuing months, Johansing found herself increasingly untethered by a world of isolation and political upheaval.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaving been a frequent touring member of bands like Hand Habits and Fruit Bats, and often being called into the studio to lend her harmonies and multi-instrumental talents to records, Johansing’s phone no longer rang. Living in Los Angeles she feared her musical community was vanishing, as friends and collaborators continually announced they were leaving the city. It was in returning to her piano nightly that she found the greatest solace, feverishly writing the songs that would be collected on her next album. Resulting from this new sense of time and focus was a deepening of her songwriting. As Johansing recalls, “I felt like a metamorphosis happened during that time. There was a lot of personal growth and healing.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout Year Away Johansing traverses uncharted emotional landscapes brought upon by the changes occurring all around her. The forced self-reflection of the moment is aptly captured by “Old Friend”, featuring an aching melody and swooning production that recalls the best of Harry Nilsson. The epic piano and saxophone-driven “Smile with My Eyes” addresses the loss of community as friends became distant and political divides between family grew. On “Smile” Johansing pushes her vocals further than ever, expanding her range and using her peerless voice as the singular instrument it is. Facing the loss of a family home due to environmental destruction, “Shifting Sands” is marked by soaring Hlutes, Hield recordings and glassy synthesizers that nod to Japanese New Age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Daffodils' ', the stunning album centerpiece, is built from a pastiche of looping samples, swirling Mellotron and dazzling vibraphone. “Keep your heart open wide, you never know your time \/ Keep your heart wild, true Flower child”, Johansing sings as she says goodbye to an elder, while the band reaches a grief-stricken crescendo of woodwinds and chiming bells. On the title track, Johansing takes listeners on an eerily meditative journey of collective experiences. “I wanted to keep the progression simple and repetitive so that musically we could add new elements little by little, while the emotional tone of the lyrics becomes increasingly more strained and expressive”. The song grows to a fever pitch as Johansing sings higher than she thought possible; the tension of the repeating chords Finally resolving into a hopeful coda as multiple soloists weave around each other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmidst heavier themes, Johansing still leaves room for her love of irresistible pop melodies and lush production. The driving “Last Drop” and mid-tempo “Valley Green” are two of her catchiest songs to date. On the former Johansing sings the anthemic chorus, “As if it were the last drop, and nothing ever lasts forever \/ As if it were the last stop, too far out to come back ever”, longing for a love that she’ll never take for granted, while also admitting that she doesn’t always know how good she has it. “Valley Green” features shimmering layers of 12- string guitars, stacked horns and an impeccable solo by co-producer and multi- instrumentalist Tim Ramsey (Vetiver, Fruit Bats), hinting at a love for bands like NRBQ.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaving been eager to capture the initial spark of songwriting, Johansing booked time at Highland Park’s 64 Sound Studio the week that it reopened. Over the course of three days, she and her band gathered basic tracks for 10 songs, before returning home to Hinish the record with Ramsey. Setting forth to make an album that paid homage to the music that kept them company during the months spent alone together, the duo pulled inspiration from a wide net including Burt Bacharach, John Carroll Kirby \u0026amp; Haruomi Hosono. Ramsey’s newfound love of early digital synthesizers dovetailed effortlessly with Johansing’s fondness for classic 70’s horn and string arrangements, creating a sound that is distinctly modern yet warm and familiar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr\u003e1.

I can hardly believe it myself as I type this but yes, Karma Recordings is up to 014. On remix duties this time around is the very talented Dope Ammo. Fusing the jungle and drum n bass styles together seemlessly we feel we have another classic in the making with this release. Taking the pianos of DJ KOS’ original Horizons Lost and overlaying some haunting vocals and then slamming into the dnb, this track is not to be missed. Then rolling right on to the second remix on the A side we just had to release on to vinyl the brilliant Sync Dynamix remix. With a style all of his own Sync Dynamix has really done the track justice with rolling breakbeats and a heavy bassline. I was originally going to title this the light and dark EP and then completely forgot while doing the artwork. However, that’s where we went with the double A side. Psycho Boy by DJ Ande is a grimy menacing track sampling the laughter of Tyler Durden from Fight Club and just gets more and more troubled all the way through. Sinister, scary and chopped, the perfect track for Halloween. Then we have been delighted to bring back the hardware talents of Dertie Bassett, always a bit dark but absolutely superb. All four tracks will take you on a journey from light to dark.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Press \/ Promotion: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFEATURES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRADIO \u003cbr\u003eSupported by Jay Cunning, Billy Daniel Bunter.

Like a fingerprint, its composition is distinct, nuanced, and one-of-a-kind. While all this is true, it’s a concept that has been challenged in recent times by the refinement of AI-powered systems which are able to emulate voices to a tee. And not only voices, for that matter, but whole styles and aesthetics: an AI-generated facsimile of Drake and The Weeknd’s voices titled “Heart on My Sleeve” made the rounds this year and was even submitted for Grammy consideration. It’s a legitimate song, and a proposal that does not only keep legal departments busy, but also allows for myriad reflections on originality and, bluntly, the future of music. But as the future of music is a broad and daunting topic to speculate on, we want to hone in on what’s been prefaced above: issue #28 ofzweikommasiebencenters the voice as means of expression, and wants to expand on what is meant by that: it’s not only what is heard, but also why a voice is used and by whom.

It is perhaps the strangest record in one of the most varied discographies in music. The Bombastic brass heavy funk, deep blues and soul paired with Hazlewood’s subterranean baritone would be best enjoyed with a tall Chivas in an off-strip seedy Vegas lounge. By 1972 Lee Hazlewood had settled in his new homeland of Sweden. His days were spent carousing, making movies with Torbjӧrn Axelman and releasing albums. To keep up his prolific recorded output, Lee began to mine the recently defunct LHI Records archives for material. One such gem, was an unreleased album by Larry Marks (LHI producer, artist and the voice of the first Scooby-Doo theme). Larry’s concept was to take Hazlewood’s strongest compositions and arrange them in a soul vibe. An album was completed, but with no distribution in America and no funding, Lee had no vehicle to release Larry’s record. The tapes were taken to Sweden, Larry’s voice was wiped and Hazlewood’s was dubbed… 13 was born.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracks:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYou Look Like A Lady;Tulsa Sunday;Ten Or 11 Towns Ago;Toocie And The River;She Comes Running;Rosacoke Street;I Move Around;And I Loved You Then;Hej, Me I'm Riding;Cold Hard Times;Drums;The Start;Suzie;You Look Like A Lady (demo);Tulsa Sunday (demo);Ten or 11 Towns Ago (demo);Toocee and the River (demo);And I Loved Her Then (demo);I'm Riding (demo);Cold Hard Times (demo);Miracle on 19th Street (demo);Peppermint Morning (demo);You Look Like A Lady - Larry Marks;Tulsa Sunday - Larry Marks;Ten or 11 Towns Ago - Larry Marks;She Comes Running - Larry Marks;Rosacoke Street - Larry Marks;I Move Around - Larry Marks;And I Loved You Then - Larry Marks;Hej, Me I'm Riding - Larry Marks\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LIGHT IN THE ATTIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42836819837084,"sku":"LITA142DLX","price":50.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/LITA142DLX.jpg?v=1700575769"},{"product_id":"lee-hazlewood-the-lhi-years-singles-nudes-backsides-1968-71","title":"Lee Hazlewood - The LHI Years: Singles, Nudes, \u0026 Backsides (1968-71)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 2 x LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: LITA084LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 826853008419  \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 08 Dec 2023\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Singer-Songwriter\/Country\/Folk\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2023 BLACK VINYL REPRESS .NON-RETURNABLE.\u003cbr\u003eCuts from essential albums like Cowboy In Sweden.\u003cbr\u003eFeatures duets with Suzi Jane Hokom, Ann-Margret and Nina Lizell.\u003cbr\u003eAudio remastered from original tapes.\u003cbr\u003eUnreleased song “I Just Learned To Run”.\u003cbr\u003eIn-depth liner notes \u0026amp; unseen photographs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith his handlebar mustache and booming baritone, Lee Hazlewood was one of the defining stars of the late ‘60s. Though he’s perhaps best known for his work with Nancy Sinatra (including writing mega-hit “These Boots Are Made For Walking”), Hazlewood did stunning work away from that particular glamour queen and found latter-day champions in Beck, Sonic Youth, and Jarvis Cocker. Now, for Record Store Day 2012, we are kicking off our excavation of the Lee Hazlewood archives with this anthology, Singles, Nudes \u0026amp; Backsides, collecting the best of Lee’s solo songs and duets from his LHI (Lee Hazlewood Industries) imprint.\u003cbr\u003eAs a true legend of the great American songbook and a rebellious pioneer who left behind a lengthy trail of echo-laden pop masterpieces, Lee’s influence continues to reverberate today. Between 1968-71, Hazlewood not only released his finest solo work but produced numerous artists on LHI. From acid-folk and country-rock to pop-psych and soul, LHI issued dozens of long-forgotten 45s and LPs. This series will include material from LHI (re-mastered for the first time from the original analog tapes), along with Lee’s output for other labels, rarities, and unreleased gems.\u003cbr\u003eSee the sleeve: surrounded by nude girls, each wearing a fake mustache, Hazlewood wears a suit, ever-so-slightly awkwardly playing the role of the ‘60s playboy. Just like the picture, the songs present a man conflicted; he’s the tender-hearted romantic, the broken-hearted loser and the rugged cowboy, all in one. It’s there in the western swing of “Califia (Stone Rider)”, the loneliness of ”The Bed” and the bleak beauty of ”If It’s Monday Morning.” Hazlewood’s tremulous voice was made for duets (indeed, he wrote ”Some Velvet Morning”, one of the greatest of all time); here, Suzi Jane Hokom, Ann-Margret and Nina Lizell play counterpart to his manly tones.\u003cbr\u003eIn the wonderful liner notes, written by British journalist Wyndham Wallace, the writer describes his friend Hazlewood as “a curmudgeonly, unpredictable sort at the best of times, as impatient with his own talent as he is with other people.” The Hazlewood Wallace knew was puzzled by the growing interest in him in the last two decades of his life, which was ended by cancer at age 78. That late flurry of interest saw him perform at the Royal Festival Hall in 1999, his first-ever solo performance in the UK.\u003cbr\u003eA natural wanderer, Lee lived a big life, fighting in the Korean War, working as a radio DJ in Phoenix, Arizona, setting up Viv Records in the ‘50s, working as a big-shot LA producer in the ‘60s, signing Phil Spector to his Trey Records label and prematurely announcing retirement in the wake of the mid-‘60s British invasion. He didn’t: Nancy Sinatra came along, the hits started flowing and he continued producing characterful solo albums into the ‘70s, which saw his move to Sweden. By 2007, Hazlewood was living in Vegas, and begrudgingly enjoying that flurry of latter-day interest in his work. This landmark compilation promises to create many more converts.\u003cbr\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003eCalifia (Stone Rider) - featuring Suzi Jane Hokom, The Bed, Sleep in the Grass - featuring Ann-Margret, Leather and Lace - featuring Nina Lizell, If It's Monday Morning, The Night Before, Bye Babe, Victims of the Night - featuring Ann-Margret, Chico - featuring Ann-Margret, Hey Cowboy - featuring Nina Lizell, No Train to Stockholm, Won't You Tell Your Dreams, No Body Like You - featuring Suzi Jane Hokom, Trouble Maker, What's More I Don't Need Her, Come on Home to Me, I Just Learned to Run\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Light In The Attic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42836820164764,"sku":"LITA084LP","price":36.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/LITA084LPMU.jpg?v=1700575919"},{"product_id":"lee-hazlewood-cowboy-in-sweden-deluxe-edition-2lp","title":"Lee Hazlewood - Cowboy In Sweden (Deluxe Edition) [2LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 2 x LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: LITA153DLX  \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 0826853153119  \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 08 Dec 2023\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Singer-Songwriter\/Country\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNewly Expanded Deluxe Double LP Edition in gatefold jacket!

Fortunately for Lee there was a land where he was still on the top of the charts, a place where women flowed like Brännvin...Sweden was calling. \u003cbr\u003eReleased as the last LHI LP, Cowboy in Sweden was a soundtrack to the 1970 cult classic film of the same name starring Lee Hazlewood. The film was a surreal psychedelic account of Lee’s journey to his new homeland, while the soundtrack was a perfect compilation of Hazlewood’s orchestral melancholy country pop songs.

She was gifted with an extremely talented ear, and an accomplished pianist, percussionist and drummer, mostly developed without formal training. In her pre-teens Karin and her two older sisters formed a soul group called The Jonesettes that was managed by their father. They released a single titled \"Once I Had Love \/ Stop, Look \u0026amp; listen\" on Cougar Records in 1971 and participated on the gospel classic “After While” by \"Rev. Arvetra Jones And The Jonesettes\" released on HSE Records in 1975.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1976 a friend of Stevie Wonder told her that Marvin Gaye was looking for backing singers for his new record and subsequent tour. Karin auditioned for Marvin and was instantly hired. They recorded the “Got To Give It Up” EP and she hit the road for Marvin Gaye’s London Palladium tour (later released as a double live album on Motown in 1977). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoon after Karin Jones started doing session work for the renowned label Jobete Records where Teddy Pendergrass got really impressed with her unique musical style. She signed with him for management in 1979, but with Teddy's own frantic schedule, the arrangement dissolved a year later.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt a convention of the Black Music Association in Philadelphia, Karin met with Jim Tyrrell, who at the time was establishing his own label, T-Electric. Karin signed with T-Electric Records and recorded an album in 1980. However, the album was shelved because the label ran out of money. After collecting dust for two years producer Jim Tyrrell brought it under the attention of industry veteran Ron Alexenburg who was president of Handshake Records. Alexenburg heard the album and very much liked it. He got Karin Jones to sign with his label and \"Under The Influence Of Love\" finally got its well-deserved release in 1982.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Under The Influence Of Love” is a monster of an album arranged by Dunn Pearson Jr (known for his work with Roy Ayers, Lou Ragland, Mary J. Blige, D’Angelo) and Bruce Hawes (Stevie Wonder, Kool And The Gang, The Temptations). All of this carefully supervised and produced by Jim Tyrrell. Also worth mentioning is that the duet on the album is the one and only time Eddie Levert, of the legendary O'Jays sang with a female artist. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSadly (and shocking) Karin Jones suddenly passed away in 1984 from a diabetic coma. Strangely, she predicted an early demise while preparing her photo shoot for the album. Karin Jones was a true example of a bright light burning out way too quickly, thankfully we are left with the unique (and very rare) document that is her “Under The Influence Of Love” album. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe entire album is filled with heart breaking modern soul, deep disco, boogie-funk and a great range of tempos…all of this is topped off with Karin’s trademark vocals. Also included is the hit ‘Ready, Ready Love’ which was one of the biggest songs of the London steppers scene (or more fashionably known as 'rare groove') and almost impossible to get a hold of (unless you had deep pockets).

With In Memoriam, Silent Servant’s latest release on Tresor Records, Mendez writes a deeply personal memoir of a 30-plus year career spent exploring and absorbing the shadowy side of music; a carefully crafted elegy to people, places, and times past and the lasting effect they have on the present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcross the four tracks, Mendez pays tribute to the earliest Detroit techno and electro, the Belgian EBM movement and the wave music that followed, the monumental dub techno sound from Berlin, and the harder, abrasive sound of the UK at the turn of the last millennium ; exploring and referencing the genres that informed his later work. Each track name gives a hint to the timeframe he is revisiting and re-contextualising as the E.P. repurposes the styles that exerted an influence on him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis E.P. represents a pure distillation of Mendez’s memories whilst also cementing his place in the current and future sound of 21st century techno; aware of where we came from but focused on where we are heading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. \/ A1 M-87 04:02 2. \/ A2 M-90 04:32 3. \/ B1 M-99 06:08 4. \/ B2 M-00 04:45\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"Silent Servant - M-87\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X-4zNqqVQBQ\" height=\"369\" width=\"656\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tresor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43559737000092,"sku":"TRESOR362","price":13.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/TRESOR362_1_28613aa0-7212-48ae-a774-25e9ec0835ed.jpg?v=1713887947"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/collections\/srd-081223.oembed","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
