About this item

Movement and Soul Records is the highly-anticipated imprint, founded by Nonna Fab...

The label aims to capture deeper sounds and meditations in rhythm, spanning spiritual jazz, broken-beat and deeper house.
"Nature is Enlightenment" is the debut release on the label. With flute, keys, bass and drums from Nonna Fab and saxophone from Benjamin Ten-Bruggencate.

The B1, "Tropic" invites Kali, lyricist, poet and azz influenced vocalist from Sheffield, accompanied on piano/Rhodes by Nonna Fab.

The broken-beat focused B2, "Float" featuring bassist Tom French and an opening poem, that touches on the cosmos, by Kali.

Multi-instrumentalist, producer, band leader, record collector and party starter, Nonna Fab has launched the label as a platform to push the sound of his own music, working closely with a range of musicians from the North.

'It's come at the right time for me to allow a space to push a very new, organic sound working with a lot of the musicians I play with regularly, interweaving the sound with dance music.'

Nonna Fab is behind audiophile party, Apricot Ballroom, which was named in the top 10 nights in the country in TimeOut Magazine as well as being acknowledged for being a pioneer of northern contemporary jazz by BBC for Footprints. As well as this, Nonna Fab is co-owner of Grub Records, which has been written about in DJMag, Mixmag and Resident Advisor.

'The label is a true hybrid of both live sound and electronic dance music and really allows focus on true communication and expression. I have always appreciated more free-form styles of dance music so it really is a space for me to explore the more expressive and spiritual side of my sound' 

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Nonna Fab highlights the scorched asphalt, thick late afternoon city air and the languid stroll of summer with a three tracker which straddles broken beat and house with a relaxed charm that should find favour with fans of The Rotating Assembly and Bugz In The Attic.
