MOVEMENT AND SOUL

Nonna Fab's Movement and Soul Records delivers the second release on the newly formed imprint, and Fab's first ever album, 'Deeper Dance Archives'. Six tracks that bring influences from deep soulful house, broken beat, jazz and ambient soundscapes.

The album is an exploration into deeper sounds and rhythms, incorporating some music from the live tour as well as some fresh music suitable for dance floors and deeper listening sessions.

The opener 'Solstice City Dance' is an extended deep house track with driven 80's synthesisers, a lot of tape saturation, percussive drum rhythms and glimmering synth solos. 'Mizu No Kokoro' is a nod to Fab's love for jazz-dance. 'When The Light Gets In' is a peak-time, soulful house track with a huge driven organ solo that sits alongside the whole track.

The B side gets deeper with 'Point Of Inflection', a bouncy, warm percussive house track with a deep dubbed out guitar solo. 'Ebb & Flow' features vocalist / spoken word artist, Veronica Melkonian for the exclusive feature on the album, broken beat / nu-jazz paired with deep subs, balafon and piano. The album finishes off with 'Chasing Fog', an ambient excursion into depths of soundscapes; a walk in the rain.

Miche "A fearless fusion of electronic experimentation and jazz feeling...Nonna Fab delivers something deep, cinematic and full of soul - future-minded dance floor music with a feeling that moves between ambient warmth and club energy, a real journey that wouldn't feel out of place in New York or London"

Jeremy Underground "Really nice music and very well produced"

Volcov "Excellent project all the way through"

Moe El-Amin "Obsessed with this record - Groove driven deep house, tailor made for dancers"

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.
