Listen: Lola Recommends…

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Been on a mellow yet experimental vibe of late. Tune in and digest these dope tracks…* You owe it to your ears and soul:

1. First Weaving (Fifth Thread) – Keith Tippett Tapestry Orchestra

>> Live at Le Mans Festival (Red Eye, 2007)

>>> Melancholic lamentation piece. Beautifully crafted composition with Balkan-esque vocal intervals. Perfectly slow. Was recorded in 1998 but the funding was pulled for its official release. However, it was since released almost 10 years later on the Red Eye indie label.

2. Everything Up (Zizou) – Zero 7

>> Yeah Ghost (Atlantic Records, 2009)

>>> Possibly the 1st single off their new release. Upbeat, Monday-morning, light-hearted s**t. Accelerated folk music but has that perfect balance between trippy sound effects and the usual traditional mood that Zero 7 always seem to pull off so unpretentiously.

3. Chase – Giorgio Moroder

>> Midnight Express – Music from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Casablanca Records, 1978)

>>> Pure 80’s. Futuristic, neon space invaders italo-disco with a little bit of synthesizer-suffocated gayness. Classic.

4. Platinum Rows – Tyondai Braxton

>> Central Market (Warp Records, 2009)

>>> Infectious epic score music. Over 10 minutes long. This track could force spontaneous creativity out of a librarian. Tyondai takes the mental aspects of Battles‘ math rock and purifies it with this full-sounding dramatic orchestra. Dreamworks needs to jump on this guy.

5. New Frontier – Anti-Pop Consortium

>> Fluorescent Black (Big Dada, 2009)

>>> Skillful sporadic rhyming laced on top of heavy duty production. Simply raw electricity and mismatched synth punches. APC give us too many hot tracks on this new drop: I’m also lapping up Timpani, Born Electric and End Game.

6. Kisses – Donn T

>> Donn T (Still Music, 2009)

>>> Moody organic soul (from ?uestlove’s sis). Chilled and not fussy. Her voice aint anything special but it works (especially when layered in the chorus – Omar style). Plus the song is given that extra depth with the Hammond seeing the track out.

7. Fall Suite – The Last Electro-Acoustic Space & Jazz Ensemble

>> Fall Suite (Stones Throw, 2009)

>>> A non-stop, half an hour jazz session that is so reliably spot on, it kinda makes you wonder if there’s actually anything Madlib can’t do?

*Oops, I just realised that the mass majority of these tracks are fresh. Do excuse me. I guess next time, I’ll have to throw in some serious golden oldies;-)

Focus: Bookworms…

bookwormsportrait

I hate Twitter. That living your life online ish isn’t for me. Tucking self-promotion between tweets about how good your Cornflakes taste and how you feel about sitting on a bus in traffic jars my spirit….I still use it though. And as much as it pains me to say it, I have to admit its not all bad because it’s thanks to a tweet from the Brownswood BPM that I found out about Bookworms.

His bumpy yet hypnotic re-imagining of Mi Ami’s African Rhythms is currently smacking up the real and virtual worlds and his dense, unreleased dubs have rumbled their way onto the playlist of Ms Mary Ann Hobbs more than once over the past year. With our current wave of hot beat producers, you’d be forgiven for thinking Mr Worms is yet another fresh-faced talent jostling for position in the Bass Music marketplace….not so. He’s been doing this for a minute.

“…since around the year 2000, I was 17 years old…making beats on PlayStation recording to boom-box. The first music I ever let anyone hear was a couple Bjork remixes I uploaded to this old website called bjorkremixweb. This was around 2000. Then I produced and worked with some punk and hard-core bands who met through friends from high school. I also made beats for a couple mc’s from around the way. Around 2003 I got really into making my own beats and instrumentals, mostly because other people were too hard to work with…I guess you could say it was a natural progression.”

Although other artists proved hard to work with, it would seem Bookworms has no problems making friends with different genres. Listen to any one of his original productions or remix efforts and you’ll hear traces of Punk/Rock, Hip Hop, Detroit Techno,Disco, Dubstep and Experimental Electronica all present, all correct and all somehow managing to compliment one another.

“My dad was really into stuff like Talking Heads,Brian Eno, Elvis Costello and Jazz. The first music I started buying was random Punk CDs, because I would hear those bands in skate videos. When I started high-school I got into Wu-tang and Drum and Bass…Lately I have been into Detroit Techno, Gucci Mane, Arthur Russell and Kate Bush. I have also been feeling a lot of San Francisco based bands like Tussle, Mi Ami, Roche, Steve Summers, Yao, Lemonade and CB Radio.”

bookwormshomenaway

I need to know more about the San Francisco scene. There’s some hot music out there and by the looks of Bookworms’ discography, he’s busy remixing a lot of it. Lemonade are a San Fran based band who have been getting some hype this side of the water recently and sure enough, who do we find on their ‘RemixTape’…

“My ex girlfriend used to work at a used-clothing store in SF with the Callan from Lemonade, so we knew each other from around SF and going to shows. They’re cool dudes, we talked about it at a show and they sent me the files to remix ”

Talking to Bookworms it soon transpires that many of his links are a direct result of long nights spent listening to loud music on herbal foundations. Take the Solos label that’s put out his version of African Rhythms as a case in point.

“Solos is on some crazy shit, it’s electronic music. It’s all across the board. I met Roche at a warehouse party Solos was throwing in Berkeley, I wanted to smoke and he was rolling a blunt, so we smoked and then I gave him a CD. A week or so later he asked me if I wanted to put some music out with Solos. The rest is history.”

Probing further, I discover that sadly, not all of Bookworms night-time trips have such a happy ending

“…back in about 2006 I went to Big Sur, California for this weird show where San Francisco bands Tussle, Brookhaven, Lemonade and the Drift were playing. Now Big Sur is way out in the woods and nature so I was a bit out of my element and it was hella dark….to cut a long story short I end up jumping off a motor home into the darkness and spraining my ankle really bad outside the show…not a good way to end the night…”

We feel you on that one…moving on to happier times we’ll focus on the music, or rather how Bookworms would like it to be received.

“I would like people to listen to my music on headphones while riding around a medieval city on Tron light -bikes. I am trying to expose parallels between sounds and samples and styles of music. I hope to share that with others.”

Shared it he has. Sounds to me that he’s read a little too much Sci Fi though. Well I guess with a name like Bookworms you can’t fault the brother for hitting the books…

“I like Simple Takes A Wife by Langston Hughes… anything by Isaac Asimov and [I read] lots of Sci-Fi end of the world stuff when I was younger..Reading helps me come up with names for songs…sometimes.”

News: J Period & K’Naan bring the message

pressrelease-messengers

The trouble with doing a lot of things is that you always manage to leave something undone. The something nags at your head and the nagging messes with the other things that you’re doing. I’m supposed to be transcribing an interview for the site, finishing some tracks for our forthcoming mixtape and chasing up a podcast feature from a dope new producer who we’ll intro shortly…

…what i’m actually doing is writing this post so I can purge my head of the thoughts that it deserves some HH words and that I should have put it up ages ago.

I’m talking about ‘Messengers’. J.Period and K’Naan’s refix project taking work from musical revolutionaries Bob Marley, Bob Dylan and Fela Kuti and re-interpreting it for the Hip Hop generation.

As the press release says:

‘…a unique and powerful remix project, paying tribute to the lasting legacy of these musical giants. Weaving afro-beat, reggae, ska, folk music and rock into this genre-bending musical experience, The Messengers stretches the boundaries of hip hop—and the mixtape genre itself. Remixing the classic work of Fela, Marley and Dylan, The Messengers captures the timelessness of their sounds and the continued urgency of their messages. The result, as fans have come to expect from J.Period, is like no mixtape you’ve ever heard.’

Now i’m not sure the work lives up to all of the hype surrounding the project, but there definitely are some gems in the mix. Each of the three parts has been dropped individually so now we’re waiting only for the full bundle + bonus tracks set to hit on 22nd Sept. I could go on but I thinks it’s best all round if you click the link, make the jump and cop all three for yourself…for free…now you can’t argue with that level of freeness can you?…well you could I guess, but we won’t bother listening…forward!

Event: Inglorious Batty Bass

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Hannah Holland brings her Star of Bethnal Green ‘Bastard Batty Bass‘ party to the ex-warehouse, Shoreditch venue: the Black Lotus Karate Club on Saturday 19th September.

If you’ve been to any of her shows, then you’ll be awarded no prizes for guessing the format of her repertoire. The successful London DJ accompanied by her ‘3 Wise Batty Bitches’ will undoubtedly be keeping the night banging with their signature raw bass lines and dancehall-influenced electro.

Dropped into the mix however, are the fresh-faced house sensations The Martinez Brothers. The masses remain undecided as to the credibility of these New York boys. With one camp firmly supporting their exponential rise to super-DJ stardom and the other left unconvinced, the jury is clearly still out on whether they are flash-in-the-pan gimmicks or the real deal.

The Martinez Brothers begun their journey in New York and rose to fame spinning old school/classic house music despite being in their nappies at the height of the scene. Both Steve and Chris were part of their church band and can both play a few instruments between them. Now at 16 and 20 years old respectively, the brothers have credited their father as well as Dennis Ferrer (who’s Objektivity label they are signed to) as major influences. Their undeniable energy has become synonymous with their sets and critics have gone as far as to compare them to MAW.

So far, they have a handful of years behind them, whether they stand the test of time and prove their worth or not – I’d say its worth checking them out and deciding for yourself… As they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

News: Kamaal The Abstract…9 years later

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

qtipkta

Eight years ago Q-Tip was smacking it. He’d hit the charts twice with the club joints Breath & Stop and Vivrant Thing, both of which having their origins on an album which was far from commercially minded. Ever the visionary, Tip wasn’t stopping there. He went back into the lab and emerged with the Kamaal the Abstract project. An album pre-empting both Common (Electric Circus) and Outkast (The Love below/Speakerboxx) in its exploration of Psych-Rock/Hip Hop/Jazz elements.

Although Kamaal received some good early reviews, L.A. Reid (who had since taken over from Clive Davis – the producer that originally ok’d the project) decided there wasn’t a strong single in the collection and shelved the project. Those who knew picked up the 12″ sampler a few years back but the entire collection has never seen a full release….until now.

Today sees the long awaited release of the project in its entirety…..and about time. I feel what L.A. Reid was saying, its not really a chart oriented vibe…but as a solid and exploratory musical offering from an artist who has kept it moving from then till when? It’s almost criminal it has taken this long to bless the people. Check these clips of Tip telling the story of the album and the motivation behind some of its contents….and when you’ve done, pick it up here….

Anyway, here’s the missing selection. One of those ones that I wasn’t too happy with when I recorded it but listened back and was pleasantly surprised…A little rags in places but the rawness is the realness. Enjoy….

Event: Impressed

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Gilles Peterson’s ‘Impressed at Ronnie Scott’s‘ weekend.

The British jazz institution we all know to be Ronnie Scott’s is celebrating its 50th birthday.

From the Impressed compilations, master curator, Gilles Peterson presents us with a set of one-off live shows to commemorate the occasion. Once again, he has smashed it by selecting an array of jaw-dropping artists and DJs. All participating artists are reputable in their own right and yet again, this is a classic example of the impresario drawing the prize cow from each genre he infiltrates. The weekend is set to be an absolute blinder.

From Thursday 17th till Saturday 19th September, each day is classified by “series” and each act is categorised by their associated genres (loosely speaking).

On the Thursday night, Nostalgia 77 open up the weekend with their experimental jazz-driven sounds from the ‘Nostalgia Sessions‘ LP. Their casting comes as no surprise considering Gilles Peterson has been championing Benedic Lamdin’s movement since its humble post-millennium beginnings on the Tru Thoughts imprint. What puts the icing on the cake is that, supporting them will be Keith and Julie Tippett. Earlier in the year, they collaborated with the octet to release Nostalgia Sessions which embraces a more folksy, mellow and symphonious style. Considering the Tippetts are British free-jazz royalty (as the Independent put it), this will be a rare chance to catch a refreshingly unpredictable experience as they perform possibly out of their comfort zone and into Lamdin’s… or vice versa.

Friday night ups the ante once more via Gilles’ quality casting. Naming this episode the “Hip-Hop Series,” we have co-headlining the night arguably one of the greatest rappers to come out of the British Isles, Rodney Smith aka Roots Manuva. The south-Londoner will spitting his lyrical s**t alongside 2009 Mercury Prize winner Speech Debelle. Expect both these Big Dada artists to prove exactly why they are as acclaimed as they are. If you’re merely expecting a few standardized rhymes over looped pre-recorded backing tracks, well expect more. These innovative wordsmiths will combine live backing with fresh performances that will dare to challenge your perceptions of exactly what hip-hop is. And if that isn’t enough, afrobeat’s second son, Tony Allen will be doing his thing on the same night too. Putting the rhythms in Fela’s work – Tony Allen never wallows in his former glories but rather, continues to push himself and his drumming into new dimensions. Big tings.

The grand finale on Saturday night, has been titled the “Electronica/Nu Jazz Series.” The line-up is impeccably handpicked and frankly the most risky for the venue. Bugge Wesseltoft, a pianist and electronica jazz composer headlines the night with Henrik Schwarz who’s deep house/minimal techno compositions and stripped down organic production style has kept his listeners continuously on their toes. Whether releasing new material, spinning at superclubs such as Fabric etc or in the depths of dingy warehouse raves, car park parties and other underground gigs, Schwarz never fails to impress. Supporting them will be downtempo dubsteppers, Mount Kimbie. I’ve personally been dying to see this crew live for a while now. Their reputation for having an innate ability to mash up the most beautiful sounds and yet not destroy them is something I hope will not be dwarfed by the other electronic giants of the evening.

All three nights are set to be big ones, I couldn’t choose between them if I had a gun to my head – looks like its plain bread water for this month… Again.

Album Drop: Devil’s Halo

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

The last time I saw Meshell Ndgeocello live, she was involved in a project known as ‘Spirit Music Sextet’ collaborating with Mos Def Big Band in one of New York’s more intimate settings.

As the crowd anticipated a run-of-the-mill set with re-inventions of her handful of hits, Ndgeocello flipped the script beyond recognition. What was apparently going to be a standard jazz/soul/funk/rock live performance turned into a live jammin’ session-cum-experimentation of various psychedelic sounds reminiscent of the cosmic interludes on Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon.

Once I stopped trying to make sense of what was going on, I could sit back and enjoy the band’s hypnotic super-sonic journey.

“Meshell Ndegeocello is so underrated it’s ridiculous. Her shows are some of the best shows that I have ever seen. She is just this beautiful soul. She ain’t pulling no punches. She is telling it like it is.”

—Lenny Kravitz, VH1 Neo-Soul Special, October 25, 2001

She went on for no less than 3 hours to which, at most of the time was with her eyes closed as the accompanying musicians (including an SFX DJ) injected free jazz riffs and electronic AV effects to the performance.

At the abrupt end, which none could have anticipated, she opened her eyes, thanked the crowd for “participating in her journey” and jumped off the stage and out the fire exit for a “smoke.”

Everyone was left stunned and solidly divided on whether what had just been seen was a big con or the work of a genius. I decided to hunt her down and quiz her for myself. I can vividly recall the experience as she spoke about many issues, from not exploiting the medium of music, to being honest with what one’s shares as an artist, to Fela and Miles, the Jazz Cafe’s sound system, London’s record shops and Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart.

In all fairness, despite her intense sense of presence, I could have comfortably been having this casual chat with anyone from the ends. In fact, it was only when the venue manager interrupted us to remind her of her second performance sound check, did she snap out of the convo and get back into professional mode.

In professional mode, she has given birth to 7 top quality, highly diverse studio albums, an uncountable amount of collaborations and side-projects and has earned herself 10 Grammy nominations plus other accolades. In short, Meshell is the envy of her industry peers. As Jill Scott puts it, she really “… is in a realm of her own.”

—Jill Scott, VIBe Magazine, May 2002

Being nurtured in the midst of Washington DC’s Go-Go (funk) scene, this bisexual female has never been afraid to do what she wants, regardless. Never wanting to be pigeon-holed, her sounds have ranged from pure beat poetry – as can be heard on ‘The Spirit Music Jamia: Dance of the Infidel’ and ‘Cookie: The Anthropological Mixtape,’ to bass guitar-driven funky jazz vibes (on most of her work) to the folksy, soulful styles she displays on ‘Bitter‘ or more complex hypnotic sounds like in ‘The World has made me the Man of my Dreams.’ She will offend you, if necessary and has no intentions for mass appeal. Meshell strives only to be herself (and Miles Davis reincarnated).


Her realness has even been admired by those who have ‘played the game’ – so to speak. Madonna once told a British paper that:

“Meshell is an incredible talent who never plays by the rules. That’s her strength—and weakness.”

—Madonna, The Sunday Telegraph, August 29, 1999

Whilst Talib Kweli goes as far as to label her with the uttermost kudos stating simply that:

“She is music.”

—Talib Kweli, VIBe Magazine, May 2002

So after a mini hiatus, we gladly welcome her 8th studio effort “Devil’s Halo.” The album will be released on October 6th on ‘Mercer Street‘, a label that she has just joined. Her press release tells us…

“Devil’s Halo harkens back to the way records used to be made: no click track or electronic synthetics, with a focus on musicianship and live band energy. Devil’s Halo represents a return to a place that she truly appreciates, music that is created and performed by people’s hands. It’s said to be influenced by a wide breadth of sounds – from The Human League to Wu Tang to Yes.

The album will be produced by Meshell and guitarist Chris Bruce. Additional musicians on the album are Deantoni Parks (drums), Keefus Ciancia (keys), Lisa Germano (cello), Oren Bloedow and Mark Kelly (background vocals).”

I’ll be damned if I don’t get my hands on this.

Focus: Roska. Kicks & Snares…

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

Untitled2_B&W_lowres

You want kicks and snares? Roska’s got you covered. His recent TWC EP is smacking it across the board, catching love from purists, polyrhythmists and pundits alike. I’m sending that love too. Why? Because Roska’s productions are testament to his willingness to embrace different forms, progress his art and balance the deep with the devastating. Tracks like ‘Proverbs‘ and ‘The Sheppard‘ verge on the deep sound of NYC while still offering enough bump to call the UK home. It wasn’t always submerged syncopation though…

Born Wayne Goodlitt in 1983, Roska was raised on a strict diet of soundsystem. Like so many youths growing up in 80s London, the speaker stacks and rhythm tracks left a big impression.

‘My father was a soundman back in the days, he used to be in a sound called Extacy with my uncles and played Ragga, Reggae and soul music. my mum was a collector and a hard listener to Soul and Reggae music so its been in my blood since I was really young.’

Solid foundations. Not surprisingly, a decade later he was ready to share his distillation of Soundsystem culture using the son’s and daughters of Reggae music as his vessels. Starting out as an MC backed by his cousin’s DJ selections under the ‘Krazy Brothers’ moniker, Roska was always producing in the background. Back then, people knew him by his MC name Mentor, evolving to Mentor Roska and eventually to the Roska we know today.

‘ I was always making music behind the scenes whilst MCing. it was more of a hobby then so I didn’t take it seriously…I made Hip-Hop, Garage, Broken-Beat from 1999…I moved to House then to Funky as it is called today. My back catalogue is 200 tracks deep from all those genres, released and unreleased…’

Tastes have changed vastly in the time Roska has been behind a mixing desk. The mainstream picked up UK Garage and wrung the life out of it, plastic R&B went super-platinum…taking the cream of the Grime scene with it, Dubstep rumbled and skanked it’s way out of London’s basements and UK Funky has been garnering attention from tastemakers way outside its original sphere of interest. I’m not gonna front like I was there from the beginning either. Far from it. I do know what good music sounds like though so I couldn’t sleep for too long. The elements of Roska’s sound automatically open the borders and encourage those on the ‘Housier’ side of the spectrum to get involved, something that is definitely intentional.

‘I feel the music is going well. With Funky there are a lot of aspects to it and it appeals to many people old or young. I prefer the underground style personally as it keeps me in touch with the ravers and the clubs that people go-to to hear new tracks…I thought through the TWC EP before putting it out….Deep-Tech is something that has always been there but its coming through the UK underground more alongside Funky. I decided to release something that will work in that scene but still be able to crossover in to Funky…it shows my versatility musically.’

Not stopping there, Roska has an entire alter-ego designed to further air out the diversity on his hard drives. Uncle Bakongo is the man charged with putting Roska’s African spirit on wax via polyrhythmic excursions he describes as ‘…more of a tribal style of House or Afrobeat.’. Both artists speak to the public through their Roska Kicks and Snares imprint. With the success of last years Climate Change and Elevated Levels EPs, the hot reception of the TWC EP and the fresh ‘Love 2 Nite’ White Label a forthcoming album project (early 2010) and an EP featuring Zed Bias on remix duties, it looks like the label is set for big things.

‘RKS is just an outlet for my own productions that do not get signed by a major label. I started it up solely to manage my own production via mp3 and vinyl and to push my own profile up in the music scene. I came to realise nobody cares about a nobody, so I had to try and make a name for myself by releasing my own tracks.’

Well, it would seem that the days of being a nobody are far behind Roska…..and his Uncle Bakongo.
