UPCOMING: Omar - Treat You Remixes 12" (FREESTYLE RECORDS)

Written By 1 - September 24 2013

Due out October 2013, to pre-order please contact us at info@conch.co.nz

Omar continues his magnificent re-emergence back to the forefront of contemporary soul on this new single Treat You as he generously features another legend of similar pedigree: Soul II Souls' Caron Wheeler. This story of a somewhat troubled love affair, the infectious groove rolls on whilst Omar and Caron take turns to air their issues, the bitter sweet subject matter is reflected in minor key and mellow synthesiser sounds. How these two legendary voices blend into something quite amazing isn't something that can easily be described in words - but it can be said that this duet between such fine and unique talents is a rare and beautiful thing. Ordinary Day is where the sound heads south of the equator as Omar stamps his trademark voice and production all over this happening salsa rhythm. The uptempo, sun drenched feel is augmented by huge sounding horns, a storm of blistering, latin percussion and one of Omar's best vocal performances ever. Opolopo, renowned remixer and producer is the man who put his stamp on the recent big club version of Gregory Porters' 1960 What? And his exclusive remix of Treat You for this single is utter class, putting the emphasis on the contemporary dance floor tip without losing any of the originals soul or integrity. One of Omars favourite remixes of his new material, Opolopo shows us why he is the man of the moment when it comes to bringing a fresh perspective to the great voices of modern soul and jazz. Finally - long time Omar collaborator/co-producer Scratch Professer puts his totally individual & quirky touch on Treat You, rounding off this essential 12 inch single and download. Tracklisting & Soundclips: 1. Treat You 2. Ordinary Day ft. Stuart Zender 3. Treat You (Opolopo Remix) 4. Treat You (Scratch Professer Retwist)

Dexter - The Trip LP+MP3 (MELTING POT MUSIC)

Written By 1 - September 23 2013

665885874

Available Here

Tune in, turn on, drop out! "The Trip" is Dexter's long-awaited follow-up to his seminal "Jazz Files" album. The German gold & platinum producer (Casper , Cro) and Hi-Hat Club member is letting his hair down by turning the late 60ties psychedlic rock sound into hip-hop. "The Trip" is all about free love, LSD, hash, fuzz guitars, tablas and revolution and at the same time probably one of the most free-thinking hip-hop albums of 2013. Dexter's music has been in its own cloud for a while now, but none of his previous records have been as far-out as "The Trip". With a concept similar the "The Jazz Files" Dexter is telling his personal psych story, one that been triggered by his diggin habits. "I like nearly every music from the late 60ties", he says, "My whole musical spectrum has been shaped by this era. It was a time when everything was in progress - art, film, music, society. And I wanted to bring this vibe across on this album." Artwork comes from Robert (photos) and Gizem Winter (illustrations). The first single from "The Trip" will be "Pictures" and featurew Berlin singer Josa Peit on vocals.
