GUARAPACHANGA (2X12 INCH)
2X12 Inch 03.04.17
the new york-based (u)nity is made up of michael valeanu, axel tosca laugart, chris smith, max cudworth and amaury acosta. they formed the band in 2006 as a project to explore afro-cuban jazz, funk, soul and contemporary electronica. they say they ve been influenced by everyone from chucho valdes to art blakey to led zeppelin to kendrick lamar, and you can definitely hear all of that in this jawdropping work. guarapachanga is special in that it was the first song written by the band back in their days as music students at the new school. it s derived from the style known as guarapachangeo the most advanced form of cuban rumba, heavily improvisational and based on very complex rhythms and melodies. on this recording, (u)nity is graced with a guest performance by grammy award winner pedrito martinez, a master rumbero, one of the greatest conga players ever, an innovator who has left a permanent mark on cuban music. martinez is also a priest in the yoruba religion and a historian of cuban culture. over its eight and a half minutes, guarapachanga twists and turns and journeys through a mind bending array of different tempos and modes, from latin jazz to hip hop, ultimately ending with a trippy ambient soundscape. the whole thing is overlaid with free spirited melody, soul and the afro-cuban essence that is the bands lifeblood. the white-hot live playing gives it the feel of the best early-morning jam session, yet it packs a sonic punch that will make it sound incredible on a good sound system in the hands of adventurous djs in the world-beat or spiritual-house vein. if you didnt know guarapachanga was a contemporary work you might mistake it for a loft classic, yet it s also as fresh and exciting as anything you ll hear this year.

THE SUCKAPUNCH EP
12 Inch 07.10.16
chicago legend anthony nicholson is back with a new release on his hugely influential clairaudience imprint which sprung back into action a couple of years ago after an eight year hiatus. on -suckapunch-, the man behind such seminal music as usg and african blues delivers properly soulful and emotive deep house the way it was intended. on the flip, -turn me on- is more uplifting, integrating some syncopated conga drums and powerful strings with hypnotic female vocals loops all working in perfect harmony.

THE SINISTER EP
12 Inch 14.09.06
after a long while heres a new release from clairaudience with music provided by label head anthony nicholson aka miquifaya. taking a bit of a departure from anthonys standard deep tribal sounds he seems to go back in time to 90s chicago conjuring sonic images of classic labels prescription and balance. the a side keeps things moving with a grunty scat and grind of the organ while the flip stays straight chuggy with spacey synths and detroit esque strings. a perfect move forward for that deep soulful tech sound dominating of late
