Public Enemy’s aggressive, Benihana beats and incendiary lyrics instilled fear among parents and teachers everywhere, even in the border town of Laredo, Texas, home of the future founders of the Latin- Funk-Soul-Breaks super group, Brownout. The band’s sixth full-length album Fear of a Brown Planet is a musical manifesto inspired by Public Enemy’s music and revolutionary spirit. Chuck D., the Bomb Squad, Flava Flav and the rest of the P.E. posse couldn’t possibly have expected that their golden-era hip hop albums would sow the seeds for countless Public Enemy sleeper cells, one that would emerge nearly three decades later in Austin, Texas. Greg Gonzalez (bass) remembers a kid back in junior high hipped him to the fact that Public Enemy’s “Bring the Noise” is built on James Brown samples, while a teenaged Beto Martinez (guitar) alternated between metal and hip-hop in his walk-man, and Adrian Quesada (guitar/keys) remembers falling in love with Public Enemy’s sound at an early age. “When I got into Hip hop, I was looking for this aggressive outlet . . . and I didn’t even understand what they were pissed off about, because I was twelve and lived in Laredo . . . but I loved it and I felt angry along with them.” Joseph Abajian (Fat Beats’ owner) must have sensed the deep hip-hop well lying beneath the versatile band’s Latin-Funk veneer. “I thought their sound would work covering Public Enemy songs,” Abajian says, and, “it was good to know they were P.E. fans . . . We came up with a track listing and they went to work.” Despite the band’s eagerness to work on new original material (an album of original songs is slated for next year), they couldn’t pass up the opportunity to pay homage to this iconic and influential posse. Translating sample-based music to a live band turned out to be more of a challenge than they anticipated. Adrian tried to get inside the Bomb Squad’s [Public Enemy’s producers/beat-making team] head in order to find the inspiration to reinterpret P.E.’s songs: “Imagine the Bomb Squad going back in time and getting the J.B.s [James Brown’s funky backing band] in the studio and setting up a couple analog synths and then playing those songs.” While some songs closely follow the original musical blueprint, others use the source breakbeats as jumping-off points later sweetened by Trombonist Mark “Speedy” Gonzales’ horn arrangements, synth wizardry courtesy of friend-of- the-band Peter Stopschinski, and DJ Trackstar’s turntable scratches. But don’t listen expecting to hear paint-by-numbers recreations of classic Public Enemy jams. “Our approach is never in the tribute sense,” Adrian explains. “We’ve always taken it and made it our own, whether it’s the Brown Sabbath thing or this Public Enemy thing.” Coming off numerous tours as Brown Sabbath and even a stint backing the late legend Prince, Brownout is arguably the tightest and funkiest band on the road today and they’re psyched to bring this revolutionary music to the people. For a band without an overt political agenda, they collectively couldn’t resist the opportunity to play this music live, especially now. “If there’s any way that we can use the already political and protest nature [of P.E.’s music], we would like to try,” Beto says. “The album’s title, Fear of Brown Planet is definitely a relevant idea today and we’re not afraid to put it out there, because we want to speak out.” By reinterpreting these hip hop classics in their unique style and channeling the spirit of Public Enemy that first echoed around the world and captured their imaginations all those years ago, Brownout is doing exactly that.

    Twenty-eight years ago, pissed-off 12-year-olds around the universe discovered a new planet, a Black Planet. Public Enemy’s aggressive, Benihana beats and incendiary lyrics instilled fear among parents and teachers everywhere, even in the border town of Laredo, Texas, home of the future founders of the Latin-Funk-Soul-Breaks super group, Brownout. The band’s sixth full-length album Fear of a Brown Planet is a musical manifesto inspired by Public Enemy’s music and revolutionary spirit. Chuck D., the Bomb Squad, Flava Flav and the rest of the P.E. posse couldn’t possibly have expected that their golden-era hip hop albums would sow the seeds for countless Public Enemy sleeper cells, one that would emerge nearly three decades later in Austin, Texas.

    TRACKLISTING (Click Tracks In Blue To Preview Audio)

    Comprised of Vancouver producers and multi-instrumentalists Nick Wisdom and Astrological, Canadian duo Potatohead People boast a number of noteworthy accolades thanks to a their signature sound drawing influences from 90’s boom-bap, future soul, classic jazz, deep house and boogie/funk. Beginning with a series of EP’s, including their landmark Kosmichemusik EP, Potatohead People’s productions quickly made their way to artists like Illa J who tapped the duo to produce his now critically acclaimed self-titled album, as well as producers like Kaytranada (who co-produced Illa J’s “Strippers” with the pair). Supporters such as Soulection, Nightmares on Wax, Pomo, DJ Spinna, Big Boi, and Phife Dawg have also played formidable roles in championing the sound of Potatohead People worldwide.

    Now with three years since their last release, 2015’s critically acclaimed debut album Big Luxury, Potatohead People are back with their long awaited new album Nick & Astro’s Guide To The Galaxy. The record picks up right where the pair left off, showcasing a leap forward in production chops, musicality, and songwriting. The first single “Quest For Love” with it’s neck snapping drum break, lush rhodes chords, cosmic synths, guitar & horn flourishes and unexpected musical changeups bring in the hip-hop infected musicality the duo has become so loved for, while Nick & Astro collaborate vocally on top. “Morning Sun” featuring Danish vocalist (and Anderson.Paak collaborator) Nanna.B is in part a melancholy piece with knocking drums, an infectious bassline and a soulful, shimmering hook, while “Do My Thing” featuring Canadian singer Kapok and Illa J is a neck-snapping hip-hop joint perfect for the dancefloor. “Liftin’ Up” featuring San Francisco’s K-Maxx ventures into West Coast boogie territories, while the album’s closer “Rituals” goes for a deeper more atmospheric electronic vibe.

    Whether traveling to gigs on horseback or by tour bus, Americana

    mavens The Brothers Comatose forge their own path with raucous West

    Coast renderings of traditional bluegrass, country and rock ‘n’ roll music.

    The five-piece string band is anything but a traditional acoustic outfit with

    their fierce musicianship and rowdy live shows reminiscent of stadium

    rock concerts.

    Following three critically acclaimed full-length studio albums (Songs From

    The Stoop, Respect The Van, City Painted Gold), the five-piece string

    band disrupts the traditional album cycle and focuses their 2017/2018

    release schedule on a series of strategically released songs and EP’s.

    Dust is the second compilation in this series of releases, following the

    first EP, Ink.

    The Brothers Comatose is comprised of brothers Ben Morrison (guitar,

    vocals) and Alex Morrison (banjo, vocals), Gio Benedetti (bass, vocals),

    Philip Brezina (violin), and Ryan Avellone (mandolin). When they’re

    not headlining The Fillmore for a sold-out show or appearing at Hardly

    Strictly Bluegrass Festival, the band is out on the road performing

    across America, Canada, Australia, and hosting their own music festival,

    Comatopia. The Brothers Comatose completed a very successful month-

    long tour of China in January of 2018.

    Since bursting onto the scene in 2012, Brooklyn hip-hop collective Pro Era has sent shockwaves through the culture. Crew leader Joey Bada$$ has become one of rap’s biggest stars, and Pro Era artists like Kirk Knight, Nyck Caution, and CJ Fly have launched their own successful solo careers. Chuck Strangers has been a key member of Pro Era from the start, producing classic Joey Bada$$ tracks like “Daily Routine”, “FromdaTomb$” (which he was also featured on), “Summer Knights”, “My Yout”, “Escape 120”, “Rockabye Baby”, and more. A true double-threat who’s just as skilled on the mic as he is behind the boards, Chuck is poised as the next breakout star from the Era. Now, the talented artist has released his highly-anticipated debut solo album, Consumers Park. The album features guest appearances from Joey Bada$$, Kirk Knight, and Issa Gold (of The Underachievers). Primarily produced by Chuck Strangers himself (with the notable exception of the lead single “Fresh” produced by Alchemist), Consumers Park is sonically masterful, with a heavy emphasis on raw, soulful vibes. This provides the ideal platform for Chuck to showcase his impressive rap skills, with vivid, nostalgic, witty, personal rhymes that perfectly capture the rising star’s ongoing journey from Flatbush to international hip-hop notoriety.

    Authentic funk and soul with a dash of Afrobeat, Wishes & Wants was written by Davis in tandem with the Silverbacks musical director and lead guitarist Eduardo Martínez, plus song-writer Marc Ibarz, and it’s a welcome new addition to the lineage of classic soul albums defined by the struggle of a black woman in life, love and loss. Says Davis “We write together - they understand my life story and all I’ve been through.”

    On Wishes & Wants the London diva gives everything, her vocals carrying scorned fury, heartfelt longing and joyous celebration. Her voice echoes the greats of soul music such as Marva Whitney - whom Davis has sung bvs for - and Gladys Knight, as well as contemporary artists such as Macy Gray and Sharon Jones – the latter a friend and mentor to Davis and a pivotal figure in her incredible tale.

    The album opens with the gritty, righteous funk of Wishes & Wants before moving into the red hot soul of ‘Like Fire’. Davis channels her inner Winehouse on the aggrieved soul stomper ‘Treat Me Better’ before turning the tables on the male protaganist in the uptempo funky dancer ‘Kisses’ describing him as someone who is “ugly…. but kisses so good!”. On “Silverbacks theme” Davis lets the band do the talking on a rolling groove where organ, horns, guitar and drums battle it out whilst ‘Nightlife’ is a delciciously bumping slice of heavy Afro-funk and ‘All about Music’ is heavenly Southern Soul of the claibre Marva Whitney was famous for.

    With Wishes & Wants Davis and the Silverbacks keep the torch of funk and soul burning bright as they carve their names into the lineage of contemporary greats. “The new album benefits from our confidence, from our mutual respect and appreciation of each other as musicians and performers. I’m not going to get this sound from any other band in Europe” states Shirley. “This is the only thing I know how to do here, and this is what I believe I will do for the rest of my life. I am meant to be the soul diva of Europe”. The spirit of Sharon Jones lives on…

    Young Gun Silver Fox are the captains of AM Waves, setting sail towards an isle where melodies soak the shoreline and grooves sway like palm trees. Their route traces a natural progression from West End Coast, an album that cast Andy Platts (Young Gun) and Shawn Lee (Silver Fox) as musical virtuosos of SoCal-infused pop. AM Waves does more than duplicate the perfection of West End Coast. It improves it.

    Recorded at The Shop in London and Roffey Hall in the English countryside, AM Waves burnishes the blend between the duo’s modern aesthetic and their sumptuously crafted homage to ‘70s-styled pop, rock, and soul. “This music hits a certain spot for me personally that nothing else quite does,” says Shawn, who produced the album amidst his projects for Saint Etienne, Shawn Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra, and several other acts. “It’s real high-caliber music. It’s easy and breezy to listen to but it’s really hard to make. Every aspect is A game.”

    The A game behind AM Waves fuels 43 minutes of Young Gun Silver Fox in peak form. “AM Waves is much more instinctive,” says Andy, whose penchant for writing irresistible hooks and melodies also shapes his role as lead singer and lyricist/composer for the band Mamas Gun. “It’s more vivid. You can see the clarity to the colors of AM Waves whereas West End Coast is slightly more impressionist, as it were.”

    Originally issued as a single in September 2017, “Midnight in Richmond” is the anchor of AM Waves. “I hit one chord, which I’d never played before, and the song sort of wrote itself,” notes Shawn. “It was intuitive. In many ways, the primary function of what I’m doing is trying to find that chord that opens a door and takes you someplace else. Those chords have magic.” Andy embellishes the song’s appeal by nimbly juxtaposing wistful emotions with a sun-kissed melody, his voice evoking richly drawn memories. The qualities that make “Midnight in Richmond” an instant classic abound throughout the album.

    The hours.

    Some story’s just have to be told.

    But often, little is written of the hours.

    The writer Malcolm Gladwell describes the process of attaining mastery in any given field as a discipline. One that takes, at the very least, 10,000 hours to achieve. 10,000 hours of constant mistakes, constant doubts, constant frustrations, constant starts, constant stops, and constant incompletions. While there are those who get a glimpse of that, very few truly achieve it. Maybe it’s because of the toll that the path to mastery takes on you. It’s something akin to a monastic order. Practicing the same thing day in, day out. It’s the difference between a new + trendy sushi spot in downtown LA and Jiro Ono’s modest sushi stall in the Ginza ward of Tokyo. Tucked away at the bottom of a stairwell in a subway station, Ono’s nondescript shop is easily passed up. There are no outwards signs hinting at a master dwelling within. But those who know, know. The sushi that he and his staff prepare - day in, day out - is simply the best. You can taste the work in it. All of those hours mixed down to one bite.

    Just the same, you can taste the work in Sebb’s music. Hussle Crowe. The scientist. A craftsman who spends countless hours in a lab, hidden in a basement in Lausanne, Switzerland, just off Lake Geneva. It’s a most unsuspecting location for a musical master to be situated. It’s not the mecca that LA has become and certainly not the cultural center point that is NYC, but it serves it’s purpose. And those who know, know. If you know how to hear it and what to listen for, then you get it. Take Gladwell’s 10,000 hours. Multiply that a few times. Add in some authenticity. A whole bunch of sacrifice. a brain that’s equal parts simple + complex. Two golden ears and one monstrous creative drive + output. there you have it. That’s the recipe.

    Sebb Bash.

    Abu Obaida Hassan and the wonders of his five-string tambour remained largely a mystery. In the early 2000s, a prominent Sudanese newspaper declared him dead. Internet forums confirmed his passing. Many in Khartoum, Sudan’s capital, said he had indeed died. But rumors that he was still alive persisted.

    What was always certain is Abu Obaida Hassan’s mercurial talent. His command of a modified tambour, backed by a chorus and two drummers, unleashed swirling melodies alongside complex Nubian rhythms and hypnotic Sudanese call and response. His bands roster constantly changed, but he remained at the helm, playing for sold out shows in cities across the country and capturing the dancefloors and youth of 1970s and 1980s Sudan. This is a rich, raw example of the human experience with sound from northern Sudan, an ancient part of the world, and the birthplace of civilization. Music like this isn’t mastered overnight.

    The Ostinato team first came across Abu Obaida’s recordings in 2011, finding scratchy bits and pieces along the years. We traveled to Sudan in 2016 to find the clues to piece together the Abu Obaida Hassan puzzle. Through some extensive detective work with our man in Khartoum, Ahmed Easysouti, and a generous dose of good fortune, we tracked Abu Obaida to the rural outskirts of Omdurman, the old capital just across the White Nile from Khartoum. Age has taken its toll, but he remains full of life and music, ready to jointly curate a selection of his eight best cuts. He has written over 100 songs, only 30 were recorded.

    It was music for a modern era, and Abu Obaida, at just 19, rebelliously abandoned traditional Shaigiya music traditions, pioneering a new sound by adding an extra string to his tambour and electrifying an instrument adored across East Africa. The result was complexity in simplicity and a hyper-talented artist who mirrors the story of Sudan’s highs and lows, from the leading tambour maestro of the hour to such obscurity on the fringes that he was believed dead. “They killed me!”, he likes to joke.

    Abu Obaida Hassan, his music and the musical traditions of the Shaigiya remain alive and kicking. A culmination of a 7-year journey — from first hearing Abu Obaida’s distinct sound, found only in Sudan, to finding the man — has produced the first global release of Shaigiya music and is just the beginning of Ostinato’s immersion into Sudan, with a full compilation of the lavish musical history of one the most diverse countries in Africa due later this year. All brought to you by the Grammy-nominated team behind last year’s Sweet As Broken Dates.

    The Stranger in the Mirror is the debut album from the Jake Mason Trio. Stepping out from the drivers seat of Cookin’ On 3 Burners, Mason dives firmly into the 60’s organ trio sound making a record that is both delicate and fiery.

    Featuring James Sherlock (Guitar) and Danny Fischer (Drums) the trio weave their way through bluesy soul-jazz, blazing vigour and soundtrack-esque territory. “I love the place where Jazz and Soul meets,” says Mason. “It has a simplicity that is so warm and welcoming combined with a complexity that is exciting and makes you move.”

    Recorded on the east side of Melbourne, the trio captured the moment in the tradition of the classic Jazz recordings on labels such as Prestige and Blue Note playing live in the room, using vintage recording techniques and adding a pinch of modern inspiration. The result is a dynamic sound that has space and transparency but with just the right amount of grit and crunch. While this is the first official recording of the trio, Mason, Sherlock and Fischer are no strangers, having played together for over 20 years in many guises; Melbourne - a melting pot for great music and culture.

    Best known for his work with Cookin’ On 3 Burners, Jake Mason is a multi-instrumentalist and prolific songwriter who has released twelve albums, gained multi-platinum sales worldwide and established his own label and production house. The Stranger in the Mirror boasts ten elegantly crafted original compositions including co-writes with Eric McCusker (Mondo Rock) and Ben Grayson. Mason is a stylistic chameleon who has been nominated for multiple APRA awards and the coveted ARIA song of the year. He co-wrote and co-produced the Kungs Vs Cookin’ On 3 Burners chart topper This Girl, hitting the #1 spot in 10 countries and reaching the Top 10 in 37 territories. This Girl was also the #1 Shazammed dance song of 2016 worldwide.

    In the five years following his last solo album Moon People, Nickodemus has continued to spread his global sound through endless DJ tours, recording in studios, and scouting new music for his acclaimed Wonderwheel label. He’s made some new friends along the way too, with his constant journeying helping culminate in the new full-length A Long Engagement, a sonic portrait of 25 years of connecting people through music.

    Nickodemus has been active touring the entire globe since the mid 90s. As a producer he’s released three albums, remixes for everyone from Bob Marley to Thievery Corporation, and 10 Turntables on the Hudson compilations that have established him as a seasoned musical traveler who excels most when playing in diverse settings that thrive on vibrant sounds. His new work is the latest chapter of his musical vision, offering global rhythms rooted in deep, introspective electronic moods built for the dancefloor.

    Throughout the 13 tracks of A Long Engagement, Nickodemus reflects on his rich history working in NYC club music and around the world, including some fresher analog sounds alongside collaborators new and old. Highlights include a new track with Carol C, who sang on cult classics like “Cleopatra in New York” and “Mariposa,” three tracks with Brooklyn’s afro-beat group Antibalas, and the soulful house keys of New York native Victor Axelrod. You’ll also hear Grammy nominated Innov Gnawa on the thumping dance-floor version of “Mystic Molay,” while Ninja Tune revered vocalist Grey Reverend lends a soulful vocal to album’s finale ‘Music Man.” Like all of Nickodemus’ past musical gifts, A Long Engagement is another worldly musical journey that pays homage to the artist’s city roots and decades of hard-working curation across the world’s continents.

    TRACKLISTING

    Ultimate Block Party Breaks Volume 6 continues the tradition that

    began in the Bronx in the 1970’s; where Break DJs would take

    that one part of the record that dancers would go absolutely crazy

    for. That part where all the music breaks down to nothing but the

    essence: Drums and percussion. These are all truly timeless beats

    that sound as fresh today as they did when the founding fathers like

    Kool Herc, Bam, Flash and Hollywood were catching them for the

    first time in community centers throughout the city. We’ve edited and

    extended these breaks for maximum effect on the dance floor - so

    you don’t have to. Enjoy!

    Wherever it is that they’re going, longtime collaborators, Dillon & Batsauce have been ‘on their way’ for quite some time...but their debut full length of the same name has finally arrived. The culmination of a series of trips between Dillon’s lab in Atlanta & Batsauce’s homebase in Berlin, On Their Way has been years in the making - albeit in annual two week increments.

    Despite their limited face time, the duo’s chemistry is the driving force behind this record. With Batsauce handling production duties and Dillon providing the penwork, they’ve drawn from the ups and downs of their travels and crafted their own personal soundtrack.

    Although their voyage begins with a confident send off, it quickly decays into a self deprecating exposè as they navigate the turbulent complexities of depression, sound off on societal failures & mourn for loved ones lost along the way. But darkness isn’t their only destination and the album is not without its shining moments of triumph. A cutting sense of humor prevails as the two are steadfastly aware that the journey itself is its own reward.

    Not to mention they brought an elite and eclectic cast of characters along for the ride. There are hip-hop heavyweights and indy all stars alike as Sadat X, Greg Nice, Count Bass D, Supa Dave West, Paten Locke, Qwazaar and Willie Evans Jr. all lend their talents during the trip. At the end of it all, you’ll know that On Their Way was worth the wait.

    TRACKLISTING (Click Tracks In Blue To Preview Audio)

    Cold Busted presents Exquisite Spirits, the latest from D.Dahlinger, a

    self-described “Northern California-bred, Japan-based dusty dollar/

    yen bin loop digger.” The follow-up to 2016’s debut album Brisk Temps

    (and his appearance with Pigeondust on Cold Busted’s Only On Vinyl 2

    compilation), Exquisite Spirits is another brilliant exercise in tough, boom-

    bap beats at meditative tempos and engaging sample source genre-

    clashes. D.Dahlinger’s influences are wide-ranging, with Paul’s Boutique

    and Paid In Full hotly tipped alongside psych-rock and shoegaze, as

    well as the attitudes of west coast skateboarding culture thrown in. A

    relocation to Japan also created noticeable inspiration, giving the music

    a wandering flavor that often feels like solemn exploration.

    A prime example of D.Dahlinger’s distinctive sound is the curiously titled

    “B,” which dreamily combines glistening harps, compressed vinyl noise,

    and lovely piano over a solid beat foundation. There’s also the pensive

    build of “Color Scheme 13,” with a gentle flute that deceptively calms the

    listener before the approaching sonic storm; the molasses intro of “Wind

    Back Up” which increases in tempo to reveal an intricate construction of

    samples and melody; and the deft trip hop thump of “Anyone’s Out There,”

    featuring layers of D.Dahlinger’s trademark hypnotic embellishments.

    Exquisite Spirits lives up its name, being both haunting and hard-to-

    ignore ... beats designed for the ages.

    Psycheground is the new single from the Italian cinematic funk cult combo Calibro 35 available on a super limited 45 vinyl and digital download. Taken from their heavily acclaimed new album Decade, Psycheground is an afro-funk stormer that sounds like Tony Allen involved in writing a score for a vintage Hollywood production. The new single is flipped by an alternative and hypnotic afro/tropical version of Polymeri. Don’t sleep on it, all Calibro 35’s previous 45s went sold out in a few days.

    Calibro 35 enjoys a worldwide reputation as one of the coolest independent band around. They have been sampled by Dr. Dre on his Compton album, Jay-Z Love Child & Damon Albarn, they shared stages with the likes of Roy Ayers, Sun Ra Arkestra, Sharon Jones, Thundercat, Headhunters and as unique musicians they’ve collaborated with, amongst others PJ Harvey, Mike Patton, John Parish and Stewart Copeland and Nic Cester (The Jet). Described by Rolling Stone magazine’s as the most fascinating, retro-maniac and genuine thing, that happened to Italy in the last years, Calibro 35 now count on a number of aficionados worldwide which includes VIP’s fans such as Dj Food (Ninja Tune), Mr Scruff and Huey Morgan (Fun Lovin’ Criminals) among others.

    TRACKLISTING (Click Tracks In Blue To Preview Audio)

    Laurel Aitken, worldwide known as The Godfather Of Ska, was famous by pioneering Jamaican music through several decades: he was one of the first Jamaican artists recording R&B, Calypso, Ska, Rock Steady and Reggae. His releases were counted by hundreds, probably the most prolific artist from the West Indies island.

    But Laurel Aitken was born in Cuba in the twenties and emigrated to Jamaica at the age of 8. Since he never went back to Cuba his Spanish was always fluent, he never stopped talking his mother language and one of his dreams was recoding an album in Spanish.

    That dream came in 1999 when he was in his seventies and met Toni Face from Liquidator Music and recorded the album in Spain with Los Skarlatines as backing band (with whom he also toured and performed). From this recordings were released his album ‘En Español’, featuring old Laurel Aitken’s songs sung for the first time in Spanish, plus some Latin all-time classics and also fresh new stuff.

    We are proud to release this fantastic 45 featuring two tracks that were never been released before in this format. On the A side there is ‘Perfidia’, a latin classic song that was also recorded by some Jamaican artists in english in the sixties, in this recording Laurel gives the song a completely new groove, a danceable Latin-Ska anthem. On the flip side we can find ‘Mi Vida Sin Tu Amor’, a Laurel’s own composition that he wrote in the late 90’s.

    On July 17th 2015 Laurel sadly passed away, we will never forget him and will always have his music that will pass through the new generations.

    TRACKLISTING

    Growing up in Atlanta, Chris Brann discovered house and electronic

    music by the somewhat longwinded way of getting sent tapes from

    Europe. He began assembling a home studio but it wasn’t until 1994 that

    he began his music career in earnest and formed Wamdue Kids with DJs

    Deep C and Udoh.

    In 1995 they released the classic Higher on the Acacia label, which led to

    the Wamdue Kids signing to Peacefrog and the release of their seminal

    debut album These Branching Moments. Following the success of this

    the next year Chris released his first solo album Deep Fall, reflecting a

    different direction to that of his productions with Wamdue.

    Deep Fall originally released in 1997 is delicious collection of deep

    tech-house. Stand outs are the aptly named title track with beautiful

    synth washes and a single mournful modulated violin at its centre and

    the emotional Journey To The Centre which if it doesn’t move you then

    nothing will.

    TRACKLISTING (Click Tracks In Blue To Preview Audio)

    Filled to the brim with released albums and content left on the cutting room floor, Odd Nosdam’s body of work is abundant and revelatory. Encompassing a legacy of sonic deconstruction and revitalization, the sounds of Nosdam have reverberated through underground classics that go back over two decades. This includes iconic indie releases by Greenthink, cLOUDDEAD, Reaching Quiet, Sole, Sage Francis, Mike Patton’s Peeping Tom, Boards of Canada, Jel, and so many more.

    Nosdam’s solo career has also been approached with dignity and unique expression, launching new content while excavating forgotten material created around his most beloved works. Odd Nosdam’s forthcoming 40-track collection Lost Wigs of Ohio is another step in this unearthing process, rediscovering, restoring, and compiling never before heard music. This lost content, crafted between 2000 and 2004, includes versions and leftovers from his first Anticon solo album No More Wig For Ohio, cLOUDDEAD’s catalog, and the one-off Why? collaboration, Reaching Quiet. The Lost Wigs of Ohio collection will be release through Nosdam’s imprint Burnco Recs. Availability will be seen across digital platforms worldwide, along with a run of limited edition cassettes.

    Over the course of the lengthy archive release Lost Wigs of Ohio, the thick haze of Nosdam’s Tascam 8-track and MPC2000 are mutated to frequencies all his own, drawing on the smoldering state of heavy drums and sidewinding harmonies he’s synonymous with. The source material for Lost Wigs of Ohio was mostly extracted from dusty DAT tapes and old hard drives, bringing forth his sonic contribution to Anticon’s foundation.

    Lost Wigs of Ohio is much more than a snapshot and serves as a raw schematic to the origins of a movement that is still pacing onward in today’s underground and mainstream music communities. Lost Wigs of Ohio is Odd Nosdam at his most fundamental and raw state, pulled together to further establish his mark on modern experimental music.

    hop beats from rapper/producer Kev Brown!

    DESCRIPTION

    It almost feels like Engelwood has been sitting beachside for so long that

    he somehow became one with the place that revealed a different meaning

    to him and almost magically lead him to this record. With a box of pastels

    and a wide range of colors, he’s drawing the unique energy of this Pastel

    Beach with hints and impressions of the ultimate slow-motion beach chill.

    The album as a whole is a beautifully produced work with some very soul-

    soothing instrumentation and each song packed with just the right amount

    of rhythm, sweet melodies and some complementing vocals.
