“Extra! Extra! Read all about it!”. 21 years after his massive broken beat slammer ‘SERVE IT UP (FEAT. CAPITOL A.)’ The Jerk-Beat Master ‘Clyde Beats’ returns with his new long player.

• Pre-Order: Hyper Reality 2 (An English Gentleman)
•  Stream & Download: Rising Up (feat. Amalia)

Stepping back into the future, ‘Rising Up (feat. ‘Amalia’)’ is Clyde Beats’ premier single from his new album ‘Hyper Reality 2 (An English Gentleman)’.

As the title suggests, ‘Rising Up’ documents a quest for positive living. Amalia’s sassy delivery complements Clyde Beats’ somewhat retro hip-hop production incredibly well. The result is a rewarding tune you’ll want to turn up loud and play on repeat.

From a boom-bap-type beat, a TB303 riff and a very 80s-sounding bassline, live horns by Clyde Beats’ long-time collaborator, ‘Octavio N. Santos’, juxtapose this very feel-good tune.

“Having followed Amalia’s astounding career, the opportunity to work with her was an appealing one, to say the least”, mused Clyde Beats. “With many of my musical values hailing from the early 90s, I thought ‘Amalia’ and I could revisit that era together. I’m delighted I invited her because her performance is simply outstanding. This is a tune I’m very proud to release”, he concluded.

Can’t Let You Go featuring Rona Ray’ is the first single lifted from the ‘COSMIC LAW’ album. It showcases the earthy vocals of the talented Rona Ray and features a beautiful Rhodes piano line driving a somewhat melancholy vibe. Rona’s voice dances around the hook as she delivers a wonderful performance.

Her vocals paint an emotional picture, especially when she gives us the title of the song. It’s a bracing performance and a heart-stopping breakdown closes this gem. Abel’s ‘Can’t Let You Go featuring Rona Ray’.

It’s one of the most interesting hook-ups in modern house music, and it’s yielded an album that will tickle ears and tease bodies for some time to come. They may live well over 10 000km apart, but the beat brotherhood between UK house legend Atjazz and SA’s most promising young producer, Jullian Gomes, is clear to hear.

Their collaborative album ‘The Gift The Curse’, blends Martin “Atjazz” Iveson’s deft and experienced touch with the Gomes’s keen modern ear for soulful tech. Throw in vocal cameos from the likes of Osunlade, Robert Owens, Wumni, Zano and more and you have a forward-thinking, funky-as-hell long-player.

Pretoria-born Jullian Gomes grew up alongside a record junkie of an older Cousin in Michael G (together they’ve recorded as G.Family — and picked up a SAMA nomination) and was absorbing the midtempo sounds of Tshwane’s vibrant club scene before he was a teenager. Little wonder he graduated to represent South Africa at the Red Bull Music Academy in London in 2011, had a subsequent smash hit with “Love Song 28” (also remixed by Ewan Pearson and Charles Webster) and ended up remixing Black Coffee, The Layabouts and Omar. But it was an unsolicited remix of Atjazz featuring Robert Owens “Love Someone” that caught the ear of Iveson.

Anyone with a passing interest in house music has heard of Atjazz. The north-eastern Englander has been producing since the mid-90s, and is responsible for hundreds of remixes, including ones for Bob Sinclar, Jazzanova and SA’s own C.9ine. When he toured the country in 2011 he met Gomes at the infamous House 22 in Sunnyside, and the two struck up a relationship that’s been blossoming ever since. The two ended up collaborating on “Overshadowed” in 2012, and the working experience and success it achieved leads to this transcontinental hook-up.

Gomes explains that the title of the album refers to the fact that with every setback, there’s an opening. It could also sum up the cross-continental span that the two have bridged to create something this special. Enthusiasm meets experience; Tshwane meets Derby; youthful endeavour meets well-honed aptitude. It’s a marriage made in heaven that makes for an album blessed with magical overtones. A landmark that sets the local beat bench extremely high.

Atjazz & Jullian Gomes – Here to Stay (Feat. Zano)

Artist, Atjazz, Jullian Gomes, Zano, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Here to Stay is taken from the album ‘The Gift The Curse’

Martin Atjazz & Jullian Gomes have put together what is an incredible electronic dance album accompanied by some of the industries most sought after vocalists. An album born out of their love of music, this block of well-crafted work oozes honesty and forward thinking. Not being bogged down with industry demands. They have made an album that Martin describes as ‘us on a plate’. The styling behind this sonic masterpiece begins with an instrumental song entitled ‘Poor Man’, a song reflecting the hardships of surviving on making emotional and deep dance music. Then we’re straight into the vocal realm with ‘Philosophy’, this soulful slider with vocals performed by Osunlade outlines the difficulties in relationships within the music industry and further afield when people maybe not be sharing the same ‘Philosophy’. From soulful vocal drenched songs such as ‘Turn Back To You’ featuring house hero Robert Owens play through, we start to really get a grounded feel to what this album is about, ‘Two guys making music for the right reasons’. Dark and edgy songs like ‘White Rose’ & ‘Overshadowed’ seem to complete this technically polished album and whatever you like about house music, you’ll find something here for your taste. An incredible electronic body of work which tells an emotional story, of both Atjazz & Jullian Gomes’ lengthy journey through this musical jungle.
