來自倫敦的女唱作人Cornelia 找來了 Portico (Quartet)、Dark Sky、Bonobo、Kwes 以及 Scratcha DVA 等多組英國本地重要的音樂單位合作的首張專輯「Balun」即將會在今年的6月15號透過Camp Mozart廠牌發行。

取自專輯內的首支主打單曲「Trust」已經先行釋出如下。

 


On 15th June 2015 musical bright spark Cornelia releases her powerfully enchanting, intelligent pop-filled debut album ‘Balun’ on Camp Mozart records. In addition to a standard digital release, ‘Balun’ is available as a limited edition audio poster, which marks the first step in a series of technological musical endeavours, brought to you by Cornelia in collaboration with Novalia.

Cornelia’s sweet, spectral vocals plus subtle flourishes of grime, bass, IDM, ambient and synth adorn eerily beautiful songs, which although pop savvy possess a level of gravitas and proper sonic depth.

Following a fruitful two years writing, recording and touring with the likes of Portico (Quartet), Dark Sky, Bonobo, Kwes and Scratcha DVA, ‘Balun’ marks the movement of Cornelia’s full focus to the solo artist limelight. On the album, Cornelia ruminates:

“I wrote ‘Balun’ on the brink of a big change in my life - moving to the UK. I felt I was at the edge of a border, both physically and mentally, having to relearn basic things like language, culture and conventions. I had a new story to tell.

I started to shift my mindset by reaching down into a bag of tunes I had written since I started my transition from Sweden to the UK. I grabbed a fistful of them; some I had produced on my laptop and some I had simply sung into the voice recorder on my phone.

Because of the different platforms I recorded them on, I decided I needed another pair of ears, so I took refuge in Bristol with drummer and engineer Greg Freeman who I met working Portico’s album. Together we finalised a sound based on synthesisers, live drums and intimate vocals. We recorded in kitchens, bedrooms, hallways and churches.”

Cornelia Dahlgren’s formative years in Sweden were spent making songs, singing in choirs and playing in bands to the backdrop of Öland’s magnificent landscapes. She participated in the first season of Swedish Idol, but dropped out in the final stages upon deciding the manufactured approach wasn’t for her, helped in part from some sound advice from Robyn. As a result she founded the label Camp Mozart and began crafting esoteric and elemental sounds.

Cornelia debuted with the colourful ‘Capsule’ EP before close friend Jamie Woon persuaded her to move to London, following which she released two EPs called ‘By The Fire’/’Now & Hereafter’ and ‘Aquarius Dreams’.

Another single ‘Stormy Weather’ was released on Exceptional Records and that period also saw inspired collaborations with two widely-acclaimed artists - Portico Quartet and Rinse FM’s Scratcha DVA.

The song ‘Steepless’ was written by Cornelia and Portico Quartet in close dialogue and was released on their third, self-titled album.

‘Pretty Ugly’, written and produced by Scratcha DVA and Cornelia, became the title track of his album on Hyperdub, which Mary Anne Hobbs called “a beautiful track with a dazzling sound”.

Cornelia and Bonobo wrote ‘Pieces’ together for his album ‘The North Borders’ and she sang at several of his shows, including a huge concert at Alexandra Palace, to 11,000 rapturous fans.

She then hooked-up with Dark Sky, where she had three songs on their ‘Imagin’ album for Modeselektor’s Monkeytown records.

Following so much fruitful collaboration, combined with her interest in creative technology, it’s unsurprising that Cornelia should combine these elements for her latest project. About a year ago Dr Kate Stone from Novalia invited Cornelia to her office in Cambridge, after Cornelia sent Kate a fan mail about her TED Talk. They quickly made friends.

Together with Novalia, Cornelia has made a printed album poster, using technology enabled by integration of conductive ink, capacitive touch and conventional electronics to provide a musical experience in a new format, combining science, design and music; when touched the poster plays the songs of the album through a built in speaker and includes buttons for volume up and down.

“As a technology company, we have loved working with Cornelia to create beautiful interactive LP posters that use our process in this way”, says Dr Stone. “We’ve enjoyed creating a project together which puts music back into a beautiful, physical object that can be kept and treasured.”

This poster is the first step in a series of innovative musical presentations that Cornelia and Novalia are developing together, including a midi controller project for live stage.

Using the same technology as the ‘Balun’ poster, their printed MIDI is a combination of printed capacitive touch, MIDI processing and Bluetooth Smart. Cornelia has been helping them beta test their first prototype, providing valuable feedback from a musician's perspective. They’re also interested in looking at how MIDI can be used for stage and performance. As printed MIDI can potentially turn any surface into a MIDI controller, whether the surface is flat or curved, it offers great opportunities for integration into different areas of the stage; objects, walls and potentially wearables could all become MIDI enabled using Novalia's technology. “Kate is an absolute genius. I brought my laptop with my live set in Ableton and a MIDI controller to show her how I work, and said that it would be amazing to be able to build my own controller in paper one day”, explains Cornelia. “Kate had started to look into the possibilities of MIDI but had not heard of Ableton before, so when I hooked her up with a friend at Ableton HQ, it all started to make sense and we realised we were onto something. When Apple finally released the new enhancements to Core MIDI everything caught fire and I can’t wait to get some new gear on the road.”

With big tunes and big ideas to match, expect to hear a lot from Cornelia in the near future…

The album opens with ‘Watch A Man Die’ which relives memories of mid-nineties drum & bass, weaving delicate melodies and smooth strings into brisk latticed drums.

Sherwood & Pinch取自上月發行的專輯Late Night Endless內的首支單曲Gimme Some More (Tight Like That)結合了影像於今日發佈。


Sherwood & Pinch's collaborative album Late Night Endless, released last month, is the mouthwatering result of two storied producers coming together musically after a chance meeting at Fabric all the way back in 2011. Their dubbed-out, garage-adjacent track "Gimme Some More (Tight Light That)" is dark, sure, maybe with an element of creepiness to it, but the video they've put together is on a whole different level.

The video seemingly follows the perspective of a stalky individual following people around London all night and well into the daylight. On the occasion that someone turns around, the video cuts and we're on to the next one. The vid might be a commentary on the UK's surveillance state, but it also might just be the home movies of a creeper. You decide!

今日發行: Creato Kano - Skyway Motel | Happy Skull

‘Skyway Motel’ is out now on Happy Skull, buy it here.

被Hedi Slimane列為新繆思的加州雙胞胎兄弟檔所組成的前衛龐克樂隊The Garden，在他們即將前往英國與Warpainp共同巡演迴前，透過i-D專訪並帶來一支長約一分鍾出頭的精幹新作“I Want That Nose I Saw On TV”。


The Garden - I Want That Nose I Saw On TV



Calfornian Twins Fletcher and Wyatt Shears will support Warpaint on all Their  european dates as well as headline shows in Leeds, Birmingham & London

Established in in 2011 by twin brothers Wyatt and Fletcher Shears AKA The Garden, consistently defy categorisation and continues to break ground in their self-inflicted ‘Vada Vada’ genre. Their live shows are experiential, as powerful and philosophically confounding as they are glib and tricksy. There never is any time for explanations, only a sense of urgency and a rapid spiral into their parallel world. To be seduced and ensnared by mirror-image raconteurs, operating an addictive carnival ride of sound and movement that stops as abruptly as it starts, is a close approximation of The Garden experience.

如果你在先前有認識過一組叫做Kool Thing的團，那麼便不會對於這組立基於柏林發展而主要成員分別來自愛爾蘭的Julie Chance（主唱）與澳大利亞的Jon Dark（吉他手）所組成的Evvol感到陌生，總之她們換了個新名字另起爐灶然後將在今年5月18號推出一張新專輯“Eternalism”，光看她倆的造型其實還蠻神似2:54那對姐妺花，取自即將發行專輯內的新單曲No Love已先於昨日曝光，對於持續在追尋The xx那ㄧ路線的樂迷們Evvol會是可多多留意的目標。


Evvol - No Love (Taken From The New Album 'ETERNALISM' Out May 18th on MAD DOGS & LOVE Records)
 

Next stages in a band's life are meant to feel like new chapters, but Evvol have pretty much opened a new book. Previously named Kool Thing, Berlin-based, Paris-born, and made up of Irishwoman Julie Chance, Australian Jon Dark, and their French touring live drummer Valentin Plessy, has reconvened. And a new vitality is sparking.

Evvol's music is always about certain dualities; light and dark, immersion and surrender, containment and escape. 'No Love' continues to push forward that vision, tinged with moments of introspection and total release. A new found positive energy radiates from the sounds on this record, with every crack between the synths, drums, vocals and guitar revealing complexities in its minimalism.

成軍於波士頓現佇立於紐約發展的兩人組合Sonnymoon，其女成員Anna Wise有特殊迷人的嗓音是賣點外，較為人熟知的是曾獻聲與美國加州知名說唱歌手Kendrick Lamar 2012年受到葛萊美獎入圍的專輯”good kid m.A.A.d city“中的Real一曲，有了上次絕佳的合作關係後Anna Wise將會再次出現在Kendrick Lamar即將發表於今年的新專輯之中，不過在此之前Anna Wise的本業組合Sonnymoon將率先於本月23號帶來一張屬於他們自己的新專輯”The Courage Of Present Times“，風格裡相當有紐約團前衛的調性並且結合了電子,爵士,R&B以及西岸West Coast的Abstract Hip Hop等元素於一身。下方可完整試聽來自月初先行發表取自新專輯內一首名為Pop Muisc的單曲。


Sonnymoon - Pop Music
 



As vocalists go, few have the distinct style and panache of Anna Wise. A classic voice, soothing yet bold, a hybrid of vintage soulful groove and 2015 feminist chic. That must have been the thinking behind Kendrick Lamar’s recent decision to invite Anna to contribute on ‘good kid, m.A.A.d city’ – she lent vocals to four tracks on the double-album as well as being hugely involved in the overall creative/writing process.

Sonnymoon are, of course, much more than Anna’s voice: in Dane Orr they have a producer capable of forming something ornate and beautiful out of the simplest of beats. To listen to ‘The Courage Of Present Times’ is to glide through eeriness, Flying Lotus channelling D’Angelo while Regina Spektor watches awkwardly from the corner. The Boston duo met at The Berklee College Of Music some years ago, their classical training always apparent, but the looseness and creatively free nature of the current L.A scene will always be as key to their music as their formative years. 

Haunting soundscapes, dreamlike ethereal noise, all kept in tow by a keen pop sensibility – The Courage Of Present Times is the work of a duo who have found their voice, their swagger enhanced by recent time in New York and their creative flow at full force. They have also shared stages with, among others: The Roots, Shabazz Palaces, and Flying Lotus

成軍於Leed現常駐於London發展的12人大樂隊Nubiyan Twist曲風融合soul, jazz, dub, hip hop與afrobeat等多種風格於一身，即將於本月底30號透過倫敦廠牌Wormfood Records發表首張同名專輯“Nubiyan Twist”，並會在本週六於布萊頓非常知名的表演場地Brixton Jamm舉辦專輯發表前的暖身演唱會。 相關訊息如下：



Nubiyan Twist fuse infectiously danceable, groove-driven music from around the world with soundsystem culture and jazz-inspired improvisation. Punchy arrangements, a giant horn section, upbeat Brazilian raps, turntablism, futuristic textures and dub effects combine with the sultry, soulful delivery of lead singer Nubiya Brandon. Encouraging artistic and social unity between different cultures and musical styles, notable influences include the likes of Fela Kuti, King Tubby, J Dilla, Herbie Hancock and Nat King Cole.

Grown in the fertile Leeds music scene while studying at Leeds College Of Music, Nubiyan Twist are now mostly resident in London, with a hardcore faction based at Henwood Studios, the custom studio they built in Oxfordshire out of hay bales and cement as Nubiyan HQ.

Having won acclaim for their electric live performances, over the band’s 3 year lifespan they’ve collaborated with Ruby Wood (Submotion Orchestra), played alongside De La Soul, Bonobo, Quantic, MF Doom, Robert Glasper Experiment, Gentlemen’s Dub Club, Groundation, Ebo Taylor and DJ Yoda, and can count BBC 6 Music’s Huey Morgan as a fan.

來自英國韋克菲爾德的五人樂隊The Incredible Magpie Band，其首張專輯即將發表於五月十一日，輯內11首簡潔精幹的流行樂曲將會帶領各位重回60年代經典英式吉他音樂的那段輝煌歲月。

The Incredible Magpie Band, majestic rock n’ roll Wakefield five piece, are poised to release their eponymous debut long player on the 11th May. Eleven short, sharp, pop tunes, filled with memorable hooks and punchy 60’s inspired rock melodies reflecting the glory days of classic British guitar music.

In their short time together the band have built up a loyal fanbase and have received glowing endorsements from the likes of BBC Introducing’s Gary Crowley, Pete Mitchell at Absolute Radio and Liam Gallagher.

The band has recently cut their teeth on the live circuit with four sold out shows supporting London mods The Rifles and The Jesus and Mary Chain on the Nottingham leg of their UK tour.

The Magpies have a keen eye for classic song craftsmanship and pop sensibilities which are showcased perfectly in this self-titled debut release. Album opener ‘All I Am’ blends West Coast psychedelic fever with Spaghetti Western landscapes while recent double A-side single ‘Money’, is stomping 60s pop-soul meets rhythm and blues – an unashamed rally to the working classes.

‘This Chose Me’, is a near-perfect synthesis of scouse skiffle, early American rock'n'roll, and British Invasion sounds before the chiming, ‘Straight Lines’ draws on the hook-laden, sparkling guitars of the post-punk pop of The Smiths and The La’s.

Whilst there’s a proud boasting of 60s R’n’B throughout the eleven tracks, ‘(How Long) Does the Fire Burn’ is rootsy rock, bursting with life and hooks while ‘Forever’s Too Soon’ is modern day psychedelia.

"When we went into the studio we wanted to make an album that was pretty raw and rootsy, to try and keep it as close to the live sound as possible and concentrate on the songs and I think that's what we’ve achieved , we all just got in a room, mic'd everything up and played", says singer-songwriter Lee Knowles.

The songs are delivered with an aesthetic sensibility that is at once magical and uplifiting and completely accessible to anyone with an interest in well-written, -played, -produced, and -sung pop.

‘Foundation’ and the catchy pop nugget that is ‘Rollercoaster’, lend themselves to the bubblegum pop era of bands like The Monkees and ‘Fifth Dimension’ era Byrds, with a nod to more recent artists including The Coral and Jake Bugg.

The Magpies show a more delicate, softer side with the beautiful, acoustic-led ‘Castles in the Sand’ which has a timeless, classic feel to it – the perfect dream from which you will never wake before our senses are roused once more by the punchy ‘The Night Won’t Wait’.

It’s left to album closer ‘Round and Round’, to provide an explosive finish proving that ‘The Incredible Magpie Band’, although at once a relic of the past in terms of its sonic simplicity, in 2015 terms, utterly unique for a pop record.

The Incredible Magpie Band is: Lee Knowles (vox / guitar), Lou Taylor (bass / vox), Ben Hardcastle (lead guitar / vox), Matty Davey (guitar), and Ewok Layton (drums / percussion).

Eponymous debut album released 11th May

如果是有在留意Juke/Footwork這樣節奏的音樂，就絕不可能錯過將此節奏融入了早期Jungle/Breakbeat等英國氣息而起的UK Style Footwork/Jungle，當中翹楚倫敦製作Om Unit（Philip D Kick/Jim Coles）就是其重要大臣，與之同一陣線的Fracture, Machinedrum, Addsion Groove以及Sam Binga更是在2013 & 2014年的努力下，將已經好幾年了無新意的UK Drum & Bass帶往了新的紀元。

回到2013年布里斯托舞曲製作Sam Simpson改變之前固有的House/Breaks/Dubstep/UK Funky等風格，將自己重新改名為Sam Binga新路線以復辟Drum & Bass/Jungle為己任，並將所受到Juke/Footwork的影響置入其中，當然這樣的改變以他的資歷鐵定是會引來其他人的注目，所以已經在英國努力推廣Juke/Footwork多年的幾位先鋒如Addison Groove（Headhunter）與Om Unit（Philip D Kick）便前來與他交流，首先就是推出與Om Unit合作並交由dBridge廠牌Exit發行的Small Victories EP，想要的Juke/Footwork影響是可以從Gamma中明顯聽見，但在這走的是dBridge所致力於將原來Drum & Bass節拍減半的Half-Step風格所以比例老實說沒有下很重，以及隨後兩人另一合作曲Triffidz（收錄在Exit廠牌合輯Mosaic Vol. 2之中）也是。

兩年過後時間來到2015年，Om Unit與Sam Binga兩人再度合作交出一張4曲12" Transatlantic' EP，這一次不再減半所以Footwork Style的Jungle/Drum & Bass威力立現，3月2號白廠獨立發行。

倫敦舞曲製作Daniel Avery在他的首張專輯Drone Logic發行了18個月後，邀請了其他16位各方好手取材自Drone Logic中的曲目製作出多種混音版本並取名為New Energy [Collected Remixes]於在3月2號透過Phantasy Sound發行。 

試聽如下，其中自己中意的是收錄在內第15首交由Paul Woolford化名的Special Request所打造出的版本。
 

經由昨天晚上Benji B透過他的BBC Radio 1節目首播後，倫敦舞曲製作Moiré的新曲Theme已經上傳完整曲目可供試聽，發行依舊是交給了Ninja Tune/Werkdiscs。

Premiered on Benji B’s Radio 1 show last night, London-based producer Moiré pops up with a killer single track drop via Werkdiscs/Ninja Tune entitled 'Theme' - an unreleased jam from the sessions that bore his much loved debut album Shelter (2014).

Nubiyan Twist are spreading love across the UK with their monumental 12-piece fusion of soul, jazz, dub, hip hop and afrobeat. Infectiously danceable grooves, punchy arrangements, a giant horn sound, upbeat Brazilian raps, turntablism, futuristic textures and dub effects combine with the sultry delivery of lead singer Nubiya Brandon.

The band’s debut single ‘Workhouse’, taken from the band’s eponymous debut album (released 30th March), is set for release 23rd February on Wormfood Records. A laid-back groove, hip hop and neo-soul are fused with a back-drop of ultra-tight arrangements and colossal horn section. Brandon’s rap style is firmly rooted in the golden era of hip hop - a blend of laidback delivery and abstract lyricism. 

Grown in the fertile Leeds music scene while studying at Leeds College Of Music, Nubiyan Twist are now mostly resident in London, with a hardcore faction based at Henwood Studios, the custom studio they built in Oxfordshire out of hay bales and cement as Nubiyan HQ.

Encouraging artistic and social unity between different cultures and musical styles, notable influences include the likes of Fela Kuti, King Tubby, J Dilla, Herbie Hancock and Nat King Cole.

Having won acclaim for their mesmerising live performances, over the band’s 3 year lifespan they have collaborated with Ruby Wood (Submotion Orchestra) and played alongside De La Soul, Bonobo, Quantic, MF Doom, Robert Glasper Experiment and DJ Yoda. They can also count BBC 6 Music’s Huey Morgan as a fan.

Mella Dee Remix



Original
 

本週正式發表透過Bleep（Warp傘下）交出與Shangaan Electro領袖Nozinja合作的12"單曲後，倫敦Breakbeat/Jungle Style的UK Techno舞曲製作Tessela將有新作品推出，新作Bottom Out又再度來到Techno名廠R&S下（也是他在此廠牌內的第三張發行）發行日期則是訂於3月23日，並找來低音重鎮布里斯托舞曲製作Kowton前來相助Bottom Out一曲的混音版本。

A third dynamic 12″ from Tessela will land on the iconic techno label in March.

January is one of the quieter months for the Juno Plus editorial so when news filtered through rising techno producer Tessela had teamed up with Shangaan Electro figurehead Nozinja for a two track collaboration on Bleep, our office hysteria of tapping keyboards and frenetic email exchanges was quickly restored. News now surfaces Ed Russell will commit a third 12″ to R&S which further strengthens his relationship with the renowned label following the popular Nancy’s Pantry and Rough 2. This latest edition seemingly keeps Tessela on track to release through R&S once a year with the impending three-track Bottom Out said to be a product of a “frenetic session” following a birthday DJ set played by Ben UFO at London night club fabric.

Unlike previous Tessela records on R&S, this Bottom Out 12″ comes fitted with a remix which sees Kowton deliver an ‘OTT’ version of the far-flung and rave-inducing title-track, while the B2, “Total Music” is an abstract piece of rhythmically beatless techno. It sees Kowton repaying remix favours after Tessela reworked Pev & Kowton “Aztec Chant” last year from the Livity Sound back catalogue, while also providing Tessela with his first transmission of 2015. And if the reactions of the Juno Plus office are anything to go buy this could well be one of the year’s biggest singles.

R&S will release Bottom Out by Tessela on March 23.

Brand new Julio Bashmore..!

Over a pair of 12” releases on his own BROADWALK RECORDS, JULIO BASHMORE rounded off 2014 in prolific style with a succession of brilliant tracks (SIMPLE LOVE, RHYTHM OF AULD, KNOCKIN’ BOOTS, PETALS) that provided an early taste of the sound of his forthcoming debut album. He now kicks of 2015 in similar style with another cut from the album. Featuring vocals from London based producer, multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter and funk colossus BIXBY, ‘KONG’ is another fine example of the kind of emotive, powerful, timeless house music that BASHMORE has become renowned for.
