Eclectic producer, and dear friend of Atjazz Record Company, Si Tew returns from remixing the likes of Aloe Blacc and The Bamboos with a collaboration featuring the incredibly talented vocalist Molly to produce this moody sonic output. The exciting next step on his relationship with ARCo which began in 2009.

Coarse and detailed downbeat rhythms set the pace for the atmospheric number “Breathe” where it is pushed further into the realm of the ethereal by a delicate and lingering vocal that acts as a perfect counterpoint to the dark vibe of the piece.

Then up steps the master Martin Atjazz, alongside one of his partners in production TrueSelf (fresh off the worldwide release of his “The Good Cause” project), who keep the delightfully pitched vocal and layer up a hip-shaker of a melody underneath to keep the you moving. I dare you not to tap your foot to this one.

Si Tew then returns to the fray with a thoughtful remix which cleverly keeps the mood of the original cut but takes the otherworldly effect of Molly’s sweet vocal to the next level. A smooth and contemplative effort to close out a deep and pensive release.

Your ears will thank you!

Strictly abstract music from the best in the BIZZ!

Yota One…

The first compilation from the Years Of The Abstract series features ten wonderful peices of music made by five very talented producers, Mizgir, Atjazz, Jonatan Backelie, Si Tew & Sygaire. Years Of The Abstract is a project based on modern music production with total respect of freedom for the writers involved.

A little about the artists & their creations on Yota One.

Beamed to us from another planet, Mizgir’s sound is more than a galactic space journey, as it is also very organic to the ear. With a nod to traditional Indian instruments seamlessly melding with amazing technical production accuracy “Surya” & “Ya-Rus” offer up layers of distant haunting vocal bites which breathe fresh air into what is becoming a claustrophobic musical scene.

Swerving to the side of his normal output, Atjazz has made up a musical soup of non-genre specific sound. Emptying his mind and letting the sound flow, “Khora” and “Khora Rhythm” set sail with analogue sequences utilising the amazing Korg Monopoly keyboard for a majority of the musical elements. Distant echoes of what has just been create a sound-scape that backs up some very interesting rhythm programming.

The multi talented instrumentalist, singer and beat-smith Jonatan Backelie takes a healthy side step from the centre with his amazing offerings, “Rave To The Bottom” & “StepTo The Bottom” immediately setting out their intentions of lighting up any well-seasoned dance-floor. These songs are really not for the faint hearted as Jonatan peppers the production with 8 bit synth swatches that are not afraid to sit right out front. The intense work put into these songs is obvious.

Strong and perfectly produced powerful downbeat music from Si Tew. “Cut” & “Run” have a very serious tone and while still glitchy in their build they never once loose control. These two songs are born from emotional difficulties and are very vibrant pieces of work. Si’s typically heavy music is of course backed up by some of his trademark sturdy beat-bones.

Roskow Kretschmann, or otherwise known as Sygaire, Intega and Kosma was one of the founding members and main producers of the world famous “Jazzanova“. His work on their “In-Between” album is something of a world wonder. This man is an amazing studio workman and incredibly humble to boot. “Dschumm” & “Dschumm (Enzo Elia Neukölln Boulevard Remix) are a testament to how much work studio producers put into their work, the detail and thought behind these 2 wonders is inspiring.

Si Tew is back… Cut & Run!

Uncategorized, , , , , ,

An incredible addition to our “Years Of The Abstract” series.

More luscious textures from our son of sound “Si Tew”. His very personal and characteristic sound raised many eyebrows over the last few years and his attention to detail shows his dedication to his life of music. Cut & Run is a personal and difficult journey into sound and this audio construction is in turn a shoulder to lean on; Quality and deep music from a very dedicated soul.

From Jazzanova to Sygaire, Roskow Kretschmann’s ‘Dschumm’ breaks musical moulds.

Artist, Sygaire, Years Of The Abstract, , , , ,

As we hit no.5 in the first series of “Years Of The Abstract” we thought we would finish off with a bang, with a song now ten years old, and by someone who has more talent than we can possibly write about. Label owner, composer, producer, DJ, engineer, mastering wizard & sound restorer Roskow Kretschmann, or otherwise known as Sygaire, Intega and Kosma was one of the founding members and main producers of the world famous “Jazzanova“. His work on their “In-Between” album is something of a world wonder; this man is an amazing studio workman and incredibly humble to boot. Check out his label “Black Pearl Records” which he runs along side his label partner Tom. Now working solely on his own productions, Roskow has crafted a masterpiece of modern electronic soul and yes, it’s “10”, that’s “Ten” years old and now refreshed for release. To accompany the original “Dschumm” has been taken to the dance-floor by close friend and collaborator “Enzo Elia”, a man known for his interest in anything vintage and musical, a man who also loves his acid house, disco & analogue keyboard music. Check out his beats on this remix as they are super-mega-deadly-awesome. Also take a look at Enzo’s very interesting record label “Balearic Gabba”, with a name like that, you can gauge that things could get a bit weird, or maybe not!… This release has a very interesting sound set and we hope you take a moment to absorb the craft on this one.
