love makes the world go around. “two”, the second album by the soul session, is full of love. ralph kiefer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger and producer from south germany embarks on a stylistically diverse journey into soul, jazz, funk and world music. being a highly respected session musician in the jazz as well as the crossover scene, kiefer made a serious impact in 2011 with “one”, the first soul session album. “one” was built on a solid backbeat of soul, hip hop and funk, while “two” now takes a step further into a spiritual and eclectic dimension. “quantraversa” featuring the voice of las vegas based neo-soul queen georgia anne muldrow is the mind- blowing opener of this album, a truly deep and intense rhythmic statement. quantraversa is a word which you will not find in any dictionary, but that is not the point, says ralph kiefer. “this album is a journey to the inner self. the recording process was like meditation. i often started with a loop, or an idea for a melody. it evolved from there and i simply let it happen. when i involved the lyricists and vocalists, my drafts sometimes took a completely different paths and ended in something unexpected and beautifully new.” the double vinyl is housed in a gatefold sleeve with download code included.

after the release of their playful debut album “worldstyle” the budapest duo are now returning with their 2nd album “brotherhood” and this time their message is more serious. the music often summons blues elements but also influenced by dub, funk and a little hip-hop while the lyrics are mainly about the social and personal problems of our time interpreted by talented guest vocalists from all over the world.

a collection of eleven dreamy, rough, abundant instrumental songs which have the guts to subsist and survive the fluidity of our times. with his melodies massi amadori tells the nostalgia and melancholy of a lived, loved and consumed italy.

the hoodna orchestra is a 12 member orchestra who studies and investigates the african origins of western popular music. the orchestra was formed in 2012, in the south side of tel aviv, by a group of musicians, and it functions as a collective and a record label. hoodna s musical director is the guitarist and composer ilan smilan. the cultural and musical environment that surrounds the group has a great effect on its creative process. exposure to ethiopian , eritrean and arabic musical traditions, coupled with an ongoing study and exploration of different jazz styles, creates a unique blend which has made the hoodna orchestra one of the most appreciated and sought-after live shows in israel.

rsn, producer, dj and musician from athens – greece, delivers his 4rth album named “strange eyes” which is his debut on agogo records. the album includes 13 songs influenced by electronica and trip hop sounds. hip hop beats with fat bass-lines in addition to effected melodic guitar, hammond and atmospheric analog synths create an ideal soundtrack for the album “strange eyes”. rsn collaborated with exceptional vocalists and musicians under his executive production.
from 2009 until now, he participates as a dj in the well-known british band belleruche, a world-class band in the turntable soul scene with many concerts in greece and abroad (serbia, turkey, russia, switzerland, france, england, ukraine etc.). all these years he has appeared in major festivals all over the world next to great names, such as the wailers, charles bradley, kid loco, zaz, waldeck a.o, while he has opened the live shows of top artists, including alpha blondy, wax tailor, dj krush, parov stellar and others.

‘oonops drops’ is the eponymous name of dj oonops’ monthly broadcast on brooklyn radio (nyc). it’s your not average radio show without talk and comments for which he invites renowned guests with their exclusive mixes from around the globe to create timeless and thematic episodes. in the last sixty shows he got visited by artists like morcheeba, guts, nickodemus, the herbaliser, nostalgia 77, boca 45, blundetto, chinese man and many more.

root down is an exclusive and strictly limited 7inch single for dj oonops upcoming compilation oonops drops vol.1. the track will be available on the compilation too, but only on this 45 you ll get the instrumental version. oonops is hosting a monthly, successful broadcast show on brooklyn radio (nyc) since four years. a few months ago he selected the album nautiloid quest for agogo records new japanese signing nautilus and worked together with them for this single. oonops idea behind this reinterpretation of root down was a slower, jazzy laidback atmosphere combined with a female voice for the beastie boys lyrics. so he asked nautilus mastermind toshi to arrange a new instrumental and german singer fleur earth to sing over this track.

blay ambolley, and his sekondi highlife band (the creator of highlife/afro/ jazz dance music) the legendary gyedu blay ambolley from ghana, west africa and his sekondi band has 29 music albums to his credit. the most recent album “the african soul “was released in 2015 and still remains a hit for highlife/afro/jazz dance music fans around the world.

a good concert is like a journey. when it starts you might not know what episodes await you, but in your heart you can feel which direction it will take you in. the miramode orchestra offers just this type of enriching, exhilarating experience. although they meander between coordinates including jazz, electronica and groove, the seven musicians can never be tied down to a single musical location. the sound created by a four-man rhythm section and three horn players is always flavoured by a certain ambition, but never fails to let souls fly and get bodies sweating! their debut album “restless city” announced the band as fans of both exploration and experimentation. why break down barriers when you can simply soar over them – after all, they only exist in the mind. it is therefore no surprise that collaborations have already included not only a range of artists more at home in genres such as hip hop, soul and modern club culture, but also a string ensemble. the latter returned to the studio for the band’s forthcoming album “tumbler”, which is set for release in early 2017 on agogo records. there is a noticeable shift towards more song-like structures: the vocals of inèz schäfer, dan freeman, mara von ferne and the band s keyboard player eren solak are taking tumbler to another level. at times it is difficult not to hear a touch of bon iver, 4hero or cinematic orchestra. yet just as listeners are ready to slot a song into a pigeonhole, the miramode orchestra whisks them away to a new, unexpected stop on their journey.

mit allem drum und dran: afro jazz als pulsierende abflugbahn für groove und experiment.
die vinyl-lp erscheint inklusive downloadcode.
