Early in 2013, Christoph El Truento started writing the music for his second album, picturing an imaginary soundtrack for a children's book. Together with fellow New Zealander Julien Dyne, he started working on the drum side of things, aiming at a more light-hearted, acoustic sound compared to his chopped up hip-hop beats.

PRE-ORDER: Seven Davis Jr — Universes 2LP/CD (NINJA TUNE)

Written By Dustin Lindale - May 06 2015



Due out July 2015, to pre-order please contact us here at Conch

From time to time a DJ or producer comes along who transcends a particular scene, bridges the gap between disparate movements and unites tribal music fans. Seven has that talismanic quality. His productions have a rawness… a loose-knit, lolloping groove that seduces even the most steadfastly stubborn of hips.

On 24th July 2015, Seven Davis Jr will release his debut album Universes via Ninja Tune – his most honest and heartfelt musical statement to date. Recorded in LA, San Francisco, Amsterdam and London, it’s a unique exploration of his musical landscape, traversing tempos and flipping styles with typical panache but always embedded in the bedrock of soul and funk. Deeply personal, the record brings a positive message rooted in freedom, integrity and self-improvement: “Finding your place. Knowing yourself. Being where you belong.”
