born in canada, fatima camara was raised in a large portuguese family where traditional song and dance were as integral to her family gatherings as food, laughter, and wine. before we sleep, her debut album, is as a collage of the diverse musical influences that have defined each chapter of her storied life: bass guitar lines wrought with the new wave sound that marked her formative adolescence, drums that echo the electronic music she migrated to during her early adulthood in toronto’s dance music scene, and an overriding melancholy that signals the conflicted feelings she has when considering the thin layer of dust that has collected upon her chair at the family dinner table since she made her move to berlin. &#8232,,,apart from music, fatima appreciates happy accidents, blended horizons, and unlit corners.

repress !! having wowed critics and crate-diggers alike with 2012s acclaimed magik cyrkles compilation, psychemagik are now ready to unleash the follow-up, magik sunrise. bristling with psychedelic, cosmic and curiously balearic oddities hand-picked from the depths of their vast record collections, magik sunrise is, if anything, even more inspired that its predecessor.
given that magik cyrkles was widely considered to be one of the best compilations of 2012, that is some feat. that collection garnered praise across the board, appearing in the end-of-year charts of rough trade, juno and piccadilly records. as if that wasnt enough, dj magazine also described it as f***ing great! for magik sunrise, the kent-based duo has dug even deeper into the dusty corners of their record vault, deep in the cosmic forest. the result is another inspired, 15-track collection that gleefully skips between all manner of forgotten gems and little-known nuggets, occasionally stopping to acclaim an otherwise unknown track or artist.

a dark rain falls on the reeds. the girl stands in the marsh. night birds are wailing. slowly she sinks in the water. no other way. an immaterial wave swells around her. the voice echoes on the other side of the liquid wall. going. she reaches her hand out to the translucent water and passes throughÓ her entire body, shivering, travels across. gone. she falls down the self-sufficient hole. the white noise of the water becomes unbearable. deafened, the girl tries to escape the surveillance of the sonar system. she finally crawls out of the aqueous tunnel : in front of her, lay the basses-terres

the white noise backdrop of modern life means that without some fine-tuning on our part, even established and progressive artists can become elusive on occasion. but since musical creativity involves a healthy drive to self-determination, and often a keen collaborative spirit, out of earshot doesn’t necessarily mean out of action.
certainly not in the case of junior boys, who’ve readied a new album, big black coat, via city slang. a strikingly energised and intuitively dynamic set that reconnects them to their techno roots without sacrificing their soulful pop nous or riding a revivalist wave, it’s also shaped by what jeremy greenspan and matt didemus have been doing in the five years since their last release.
the 180 gram vinyl release includes a download code.

we are new york bound for the second release from rex music, as we invite the charismatic boss of soul people music, fred p-aka black jazz consortium to bring us an exquisite ep, which holds true to his persona: elegant, deep and refined. like the chronology of a day, evolving from dawn to dusk, fred p takes us on a journey through three well-crafted tracks to compose an intimate ballad. ‘wave patterns’ sets the tone with a smooth, airy atmosphere – minimalist yet progressive, it will have you enraptured as the subtle pads weave in and out of the background, dancing a pirouette with the low end. the dubby, hypnotic ripple of the bass ushers in a bright glow like sunrise at the beginning of a glorious day...from there, we move on to side b where ‘continuous sensation’ accompanies us until sunset. soothing and playful, with a delightful string riff and mellow, warm bassline, it’s full of the joys of the daytime. finally, fred p closes out the ep with a harder, more angular workout. ‘unbroken circles’ is made for the twilight hours, when the sun has set and we’re wrapped up in a warm, dense evening. simple, mysterious and crisp… a great way to finish up an outstanding ep from our man, fred p
