Rising (RSD23 EDITION)

    THIS IS A RECORD STORE DAY 2023 EXCLUSIVE, LIMITED TO ONE PER PERSON.

    Greentea Peng's 'RISING' EP was a turning point in her career, this 7-track vinyl pressing features some of her biggest tracks such as "Downers" and "Mr. Sun (miss da sun)" that launched her into the limelight and solidified her position as one of the most exciting artists coming out of the UK right now.

    This new pressing of "RISING" will be pressed on Eco vinyl, using offcuts and waste from other vinyl pressing runs, melting them down and creating new records from the vinyl waste. Each record will be slightly unique in colour and pattern. Records are brown/crimson with a marble effect containing black, green, blue and grey highlights. Each record is slightly different due to the eco element, using melted down offcuts from other pressing runs. Colour may vary.

    Man Made

      “Man Made” feels like the perfect statement of intent and presentation of Greentea’s world - meditative, experimental, political, medicinal, trippy, humorous, and brimming with rich and varied influences.

      Set against the backdrop of one of the most turbulent years in recent memory, Greentea and her band The Seng Seng Family retreated to the country last summer where the alchemy of “Man Made” took place, bringing a live element to the album, and chose to record the record in 432 Hz frequency, a pitch that falls a semitone below music industry standard, which is thought to vibrate healing energy. Executive-produced by long time collaborator Earbuds, Greentea worked with an incredible roll-call of producers; the likes of Swindle, long-standing collaborators Samo & Kiko, and Mala (part of the legendary dubstep production duo Digital Mystikz and the founder of the iconic DMZ dubstep label). The album was then mixed by the legendary Commissioner Gordon. The record seamlessly weaves genres from hip-hop to jazz, neo-soul, trip-hop, ragga, rock, dub and drum & bass, all anchored by signature sage vocals. At 18 tracks, “Man Made” is a true opus, a fluid and transportive listening experience, channelling deepest inner-thoughts and exploring different states of being, segued to be enjoyed in full. It encourages repeated revisits to fully explore the magic at work.

      Greentea shares her manifesto:

      "Man Made” an exploration of self and sound. A product of shifting paradigms both inner and outer.
      An ultra sonic trip. This album is an offering of healing, a provocation of Hu Man spirit soul.
      Out of tune with the industry and in tune with the universe, this is a 432hrz production.
      Deliberately detuned out of any Babylon standard! It is to be felt…like a buzzing bee, in one's chest. A vibration. A jambalaya of expression, this project fits no genre, not to be digested easily by everyone.
      However for those occupying the same space right now, upholding the frequency at such a transformative and challenging moment in time…I trust THIS SOUND will find you.
      Dedicated and inspired by the late Jimtastic, join me and my boys as we travel the Sonicsphere on the way back to centre, through the depths of apathy and the heights of interconnection through surrender…
      I offer you Man Made.”


      STAFF COMMENTS

      Barry says: Greentea Peng has a sound all of her own, happily sitting between the super-smooth soul of the 70's and modern hip-hop, stopping at every stop along the way. An eminently listenable and hugely enjoyable journey, enriched with crystal clean production and perfectly penned songs. A delight all round.
