the first release from naissance musik (nm) is a 12” vinyl from the super-group dream scoring (hear and hakim murphy) entitled images of a myth. it is comprised of 4 tracks. a myth is a legendary story that a community validates to explain part of its reality. however any member or group within the community can have his or her own version of the myth, and the myth can also evolve through time. we may all listen to the same track but this track still calls up intimate images for each and every one of us. a myth is full of adventure and mystery, it is epic and full of emotions. it can be anything from the lost ark to greek gods fighting. the aim is to fill our bodies and minds with emotions. the main idea is to tell stories like books or movies, but through musical notes & rhythm. the music makers provide the musical image, the listeners create the myth. and vice-versa.

here we have 12 inch single that was never released containing the session by jordan fields & roy davis jr (dj freestyle mix) which was featured on mark farinas dj mix. also check jordan fields edit of * afrobeat breakdown* by hakim murphy & * if you wanna* by david britton. limited quantity!

seriously underground minimal house on offer here from chicagos hakim murphy under a new alias. kallabo is the kind of mysterious, candle lit deep house you d hear on a giegling record. -porta- shuffles and bleeps in a more uptempo outing where you can hear the noise of tape in the background, competing with the hiss of the 808 hats to stunning effect. boops bring the funk in this reductionist house jam for analogue freaks. finally raw intuition stomps away with its brutal modular synth bassline run through a delay and knocking down everything in sight! highly recommended!

slowmotion is born from a collaboration between hakim murphy and vince noog. noog has been rocking more on the techno tip over the years with releases on his label, but when the collaboration took place, beat-down feels appeared causing some house jams to develop. the ep is called beats from lugdunum, but why? lugdunum is the old school name for lyon and the surrounding areas, and these tunes were conceptualized, composed, and beated right there.

der neuseelŠndische multiinstrumentalist jordan rakei veršffentlicht sein hervorragendes debŸtalbum auf ninja tune! der erst kŸrzlich bei ninja tune unter vertrag genommene jordan rakei hat den kampf mit seinen inneren dŠmonen ausgefochten und wŠhrenddessen ein inspirierendes und bewegendes album aufgenommen. genannt hat er es -wallflower- (-mauerblŸmchen-). mit nur 25 jahren ist der multiinstrumentalist, sŠnger und produzent, der in neuseeland geboren wurde, ein seltenes talent, dessen eigenstŠndiger ansatz fŸr soul-musik ein klangliches und emotionales bewusstsein in sich trŠgt, dem viele andere kŸnstler ihr ganzes leben lang hinterher rennen. er schreibt mit einer reife und einer solchen begabung, die man bei seinem alter kaum vermuten wŸrde. mit seinem neuen album -wallflower-, das mitte september auf ninja tune erscheint, lotet er die grenzen seines genialen, oft sonnenbefleckten sounds aus, mit dem seine fans ihn kennen- und lieben gelernt haben. diese leichtigkeit, die von vornherein das rŸckgrat seines sounds war, ist nach wie vor stets zu hšren und blickt zurŸck auf seine zeit als teenager, als er mit seiner geliebten mpc im schlafzimmer versuchte 9th wonder oder pete rock nachzueifern. auf -wallflower- haben sich die gerŠte etwas verŠndert und der entstehungsprozess weiterentwickelt. der fokus liegt nun auf live-instrumentierung, doch groove und rhythmus bleiben unverkennbar. so schafft er es, soul und jazz in ein wahrlich pulsierendes werk zu rahmen, das gleichzeitig an seine stilistischen vorgŠnger the roots sowie freunde wie the internet, nick hakim und hiatus kaiyote erinnert.

der rumŠne raresh ist neben ricardo villalobos mitglied des triumvirats (a:rpia:r) und bestritt bereits mehrere mixsampler fŸr sven vŠths cocoon-label. sein sich dynamisch entwickelndes fabric-set bewegt sich von authentischem deepem house zu hypnotisch-elektronischen styles und fesselt den hšrer mit bewusstseinssprengender komplexitŠt.
