Two Syllables Volume Eight

235015579-1

« Starting with Marc Mac’s Steve Miller-fuelled remix of Homecut’s ‘Time Difference’, we then move on to a track from new signing Tall Black Guy – his debut album will be out on FW in 2013, but for now check out his inspired flip of James Brown’s I Feel Good – banging!

Souleance provide ‘Strongest Love’, the first track released from their soon-come ‘La Beat Tape’ – out in February. Ariya Astrobeat Arkestra have had a fantastic year, and we’ve picked one of our favourite tracks from their ‘Towards Other Worlds’ LP – Blood In The Water.

Wah Wah 45s don Scrimshire provides his deep jazzy remix of Debian Blak’s ‘The Idiot Stem’, followed by a new track from kidkanevil with the off-kilter beats of ‘Yuki’s Theme’. Next up is another new signing – Berlin based producer Comfort Fit. Nitro is the perfect introduction to his idiosyncratic beatmaking style. Another truly unique artist is the incomparable Yosi Horikawa. Exclusive to this compilation is a remix of the title track from his ‘Wandering’ EP, from one of our favourite artists of 2012, the magnificent Rough Fields.

Next up is our last newbie – London-based afro-funk group The Fontanelles. Look out for a 45 from them in spring – and make sure you check their live shows – stunning! Border Crossing’s Dream On, taken from their ‘Just An Ode’ EP, is a sun-kissed reggae treat – even in the depths of winter. We finish up with a trio of remixes, Keep Up!’s Lopez re-rubs Herma Puma’s Royal Flush, Hyperdub’s LV take on Essa’s ‘Panache’ and newcomer Future Wildstyle adds a rolling refix of Frameworks’ ‘Vanish ».

Lomovolokno – At least never

2037639099-1
We all know the quality of the mad hop’s releases. They strike again with the brand new album of Lomovolokno.

« Up to this point, only a few of Lomovolokno productions saw the light of day. Now, the mysterious producer is releasing his new album ‘At Least Never’, where experimental hip-hop meets electronic music. However, just these two labels don’t do the release justice. Delicate, magnetic vocals make the production deep, emotional and thought provoking. Let this young Russian producer take you on an epic journey through his world full of broken sounds. »
