Summers Sons

Still Nothing Still

Two brothers, surname Summers. London rap duo Summers Sons return with a new sound & vision.Still Nothing Stillis a far cry from the beloved jazz rap the group is known for. The jazz influence is still there but sonically and lyrically Turt & Slim are playing in a class of their own.

Slim is adding a more electronic, trip-hoppy vibe to his beautifully executed beats. Turt delivers his raps with a new urgency and confidence. Having been diagnosed with epilepsy in 2021 had a major impact on his life and art. As a lyricist, Turt has always worn his heart on his sleeve but never so honestly, poetically, vulnerably, angrily, and sharp as onStill Nothing Still.

Since 2018, Summers Sons have released four albums (Undertones,Uhuru,The Rain,Nostalgia) and a string of high profile collabos with artists like C.Tappin, Twit One, The Silhouettes Project and Koralle. Not forgetting Slim's beat tape for KO-OP. They have been touring with Children of Zeus, performed shows with FloFilz and Melodiesinfonie and are part of The Silhouettes Project.

In 2023, Turt released the albumThe Questionsas one third of the project Syrup (with Twit One & C.Tappin) while Slim released the album projectCeruleanwith Benaddict and Ella Mae Suref. Turt also dropped two singles with The Silhouettes Project alongside Nix Northwest and Frankie Stew & Harvey Gunn.

After her album with producer High John on MPM in 2019 and collaborations with agajon, Àbáse, KUOKO, Cap Kendricks and Move 78, soul singer douniah returns with her debut solo project.

douniah imparts her debut solo project "A Lot, Not Too Much" to an unexpecting audience. Thoughtfully, the singer-songwriter invites us to embark on our own saviour. The collection of songs is steeped in artistic and emotional integrity. Production was ledand executed by Dhanya Langer, one half of band project Modha, and producer of JujuRogers' 2019 album "40 Acres N Sum Mula". Written amid the pandemic, this piece is aneffort of immense proportions - experimenting with her sound in time, wading through spirals of arduous personal challenges. 'A first impression of how my journey sounds.'Agadir-born and Hamburg-raised, douniah engages in the practice of interpreting herspirit, impressively, in German, Darija and English. We find here, a body of work that threads together the tenets of free-form poetry and romanticism, backdropped by neo-experimental jazz tendencies. In euphony, a worldly array of instruments act insymbiosis to carry us through "A Lot, Not Too Much". douniah's voice is one to fall into; her message is enunciated with every word, delivered delicately with an inventory ofriffs and ranged tone. The utilisation of choppy, note-like, freestyles bridges the EP's strong singles, into a rhapsodic whole.

British-German jazz rap super group Syrup returns with their second album "The Questions" on Melting Pot Music. Syrup are Twit One (beats), Turt of Summers Sons (rap) and C.Tappin (vocals & keys).

Twit One is from Cologne and a true universal artist: producer, DJ, curator and record store-owner are some of the many hats Twit is wearing. Turt is one half of South London duo Summers Sons (the other half is his brother Slim) and best friend with C.Tappin with whom he and Slim form the Lightworks crew.

Twit, Turt and Tappin share a friendship and musical partnership based on similar musical tastes and live values since they met in Bristol in 2015. Their first album "Rosy Lee" was released in 2021 on Melting Pot Music.

Mr Käfer & Pholcalyst

Now / Again II

Lofi heavyweights Phlocalyst and Mr.Käfer unite again for the second volume of their joint project "Now / Again" on Melting Pot Music.

But wait a minute … is it really appropriate to label "Now / Again II" Lofi? If you follow one of the relevant playlists, you have heard some tracks by our two friends for sure and yes they are heavyweights within that scene (check their numbers). But what about the music? "Now / Again II" is far cry from sad piano loops, fake vinyl crackles and played out SP-404 effects (or whatever the racoon in you associates with Lofi).

Let's call "Now / Again II" contemporary smooth Jazz rooted in soulful Hip-Hop instead. Executed with a great ear for strong melodies, sophisticated arrangements and an everlasting love for blue notes. You won't regret it.
