drittes soloalbum des beta band frontmannes steve mason! steve mason kündigt sein drittes soloalbum an. *meet the humans* bewegt sich musikalisch zwischen electronic, pop, folk, dub und deep house und befasst sich nach dem politisch ambitionierten konzeptalbum *monkey minds in the devils time* von 2013 inhaltlich wieder mehr mit der persönlichen verfassung des gründungsmitglieds der beta band. *meet the humans* ist in zusammenarbeit mit produzent craig potter aufgenommen worden, nachdem steve mason von schottland nach brighton gezogen war. es ist das bislang wohl unverblümteste, aufrichtigste album seiner karriere.
die lp erscheint auf 180 gramm vinyl im klappcover, inklusive downloadcode.

people have all the power - they just have to remember it, findet steve mason und sorgt mit seinem neuen eklektischen meisterstück *monkey minds in the devils time* für revolutionären wind in der flaute der aktuell doch sehr unpolitischen popwelt. das neue album besticht nicht nur durch seinen inhaltlichen tiefgang. dass der ex-beta band sänger mason auf stolze fünfzehn jahre erfahrung als musiker zurückgreift und produzent dan carey (hot chip, bat for lashes) seine finger im spiel hatte, merkt man dem album an. das glanzstück *monkey minds in the devils times* ist an musikalischem facettenreichtum zwischen pop, indie und elektronik kaum zu überbieten.

zeit ist ein fließendes konzept in der welt von phoria. das trio im kern des englischen quintetts - trewin howard (gesang & produktion), jeb hardwick (gitarre & visuals) und ed sanderson (keyboard & vocals) - kennt sich bereits seit über zwanzig jahren, seit der grundschule, wo sie klassische gitarre, cello und violine lernten. nach jahren der musikalischen selbstfindung und des gemeinsamen Älterwerdens, wuchs daraus das selbstkreierte schalllabor namens -phoria-, dem sich tim douglas (bass & synths) und seryn burden (schlagzeug) anschlossen. etliche singles, gesammelt auf zwei eps, hat die band bisher veröffentlicht und zeigte dabei bereits ihr vorliebe für filmmusik und orchestralen post-rock sowie ausladende, auch visuell eindrucksvolle klanglandschaften. textlich befasst sich die band vor allem mit den tiefen der menschlichen psyche und ihrer auswirkung auf unser handeln. “volition” ist das debütalbum der band und erscheint jetzt bei humming records.

beta-band leadsänger steve mason veröffentlicht zum diesjährigen record store day eine limitierte 12 inch auf double six / domino. die beiden britischen edm legenden greg wilson und derek kaye remixten gemeinsam die beiden songs *seen it all before* und *come to me*, welche (in der originalversion) auf steve masons 2013er album *monkey minds in the devils time* erschienen.

the latest release from relish recordings is from label boss headman. private show is the 2nd single from the upcoming headman album 1923. the synth filled dancefloor jam is the culmination of old school manhead with the modern headman trademarks - heavier basslines and big drums. the track features vocal great steve mason (man behind betaband/blackaffair/kingbiscuittime) who has set a somewhat deviant mood to the track with some smooth vocals, making this a track better to listen to rather than read about. private show also comes with remixes from relish new-comers tape to tape, who have come through with a two part remix of the track as well as a remix from gommas telonius

underwater is a true breakthrough a song so undeniably laid back and catchy, the duo came up with the term cosmic sea shanty to sum it up. with its undeniable madchester/beta band delivery, dfa decided it was more of an e shanty, especially the dub on the flipside, which blends warm keys, euphoric piano, and a killer bass line. underwater is more unique magic from the tiny sticks men and a new page in their still evolving career.

black affair, the audacious new project from steve mason (beta band / king biscuit time) return with new single its real, which includes a fantastic playgroup remix

the album has a very fragile, stripped down and haunting sound and is being roundly praised for it s beauty and simplicity drawing numerous comparisons to his early work with the beta band on the -3 eps- album. having previously recorded as both king biscuit time and black affair, both largely electronic based projects, steve mason enlisted the help of producer richard x and consciously made a decision to go back to basics: the album was written entirely on acoustic guitar with many of the finished tracks stripped back to reveal his undoubted songwriting talent. this special bonus edition includes a bonus disc of the album -ghosts outside- which sees the original album given a dub reworking by dennis bovell.
