Magic Number – Better (Official Video) at Youtube

► PRE-ORDER & PRE-SAVE Badly Written Songs

Back again with another catchy earworm, Magic Number returns with the 3rd single from their forthcoming album ‘Badly Written Songs’ due for release on February 9th 2024.

Echoing jazzy-inspired drums sitting behind Sophia’s vocals, accompanied by syncopated synths and horns.

‘Better’ is backed up by yet another wonderful animated video, this time the boy, girl and skeleton characters introduced in ‘Good Morning Sunshine’ go on a new adventure, comically drawing attention to how so many people are lost on their mobile devices and consequently miss out on the amazing world that’s all around them; depicted in the video as walking with loved ones, fairgrounds, the wonders of the world and a comical alien invasion.

Another catchy chorus chants the notion behind this song, i.e. you ‘Could be better!’ hoping that we can all put our devices down, and enjoy the people we love and the world around us before it’s too late.

Si Tew – Breathe (feat. Molly) Official music video.

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!

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.
