MOOR MOTHER – JAZZ CODES

Posted on 2022-08-01

Moor Mother albums are known for confounding and astounding, and Jazz Codes is no exception. Camae Ayewa is a wordsmith of high calibre, her signature deep drawl giving voice to labyrinthine raps, her hands emptying her pockets of sentences that flow endlessly. Amongst a vast web of collaborators, Ayewa draws sprawling collages across Jazz Codes, where glass shards trickle and harps pluck the light from the air, piano keys tap like dancing shoes, Afrofuturist narratives meet operatically trembling vocals and kaleidoscopic beats. The final track calls jazz “a living music”, perhaps the best descriptor for Moor Mother’s complex musical world.

TERENCE ETC. – THE MERCHANT OF FLATBUSH

Posted on 2022-07-25

The album was written and produced by Terence, along with long time friends and collaborators: Solomon Dorsey, Nick Hakim and his brother Nelson Bandela. Most of the songs on the 11 track album are arranged as diptychs that swell and fold in on themselves in a dizzying oscillation. Terence is flirtatious in his lamenting, with a style that swells from suggestively oracular, to vaudeville, to your local battle of the bands.

AQUARIAN MUTATIONS II: DELICIOUS INTENT

Posted on 2022-07-25

Canadian born, Berlin based producer Aquarian debuts on Dekmantel Records’ UFO imprint with Mutations I & II, a series of two EPs following his debut album The Snake That Eats Itself and his collaborative records as AQXDM. The series marks his return to club focused solo material for the first time since 2017.

Originally written as inflection points for his typically boisterous and genre collapsing dj sets, Mutations deftly splices the foundational DNA of his earliest productions — electro, hardcore and broken beat techno – with new and vital influences.
