Forging ahead with the Bubblers series, Brownswood Recordings are proud to present another awe-inspiring assortment of delightfully obscure ditties and underground heaters that have been clogging Gilles' record bag and radio playlists of late. Kicking off with the honey-coated Motor City soul vibes purveyed by Mayer Hawthorne on 'Maybe So Maybe No' and weaving a path through to Lone's lush, widescreen beatscape 'Sea Spray'. This is Gilles Peterson in his element - flitting between Oumou Sangaré's soaring African melodies, Maryland beatmaker yU's coarsely chopped hip hop soul, El Michels Affair reworking classic ODB material for the jazz headz, New Look's spine-tingling electro pop, and the rich sub low cinematics of Floating Points.

Isaac Aesili’s debut solo album Eye See is a rich tapestry of sound with R&B at its heart, and lashings of soul, reggae and funk woven within. Experimental and futuristic in some parts, warm and soulful in others, the album, an extension of its author, is a tribute to diversity.
The concept behind Eye See was born of Isaac’s desire to offer today’s youth a counter voice to the glorification and idealisation of gangster culture, so often promoted by commercial R&B. Destructive lyrics endorsing kids to fail school and encouraging promiscuity, drugs, violence and degradation of women, saw Isaac grow increasingly disillusioned with the genre of music he had loved since he was a teenager. He resolved to record an R&B album that used contemporary production styles, with references to commercial R&B so that it would still appeal to youth, but he would transpose the negative messages with hopeful, positive themes.
Eye See is an inspired album of intelligent, conscious music, an investigation of our world from the perspective of the youth. The opening eponymous track, a song that explores the state of the world today, features Isaac’s nephews and nieces each reciting a line. It is for them and their generation that Isaac created Eye See.
