brothers reginald omas mamode iv and jeen bassa come together as mama odé on full length album “tales and patterns of the maroons”.

fieve easy pieces presents the debut album from xoa, the collaborative project from london based musician, producer and dj nick tyson.

the album was partly recorded on a journey to the mascarene islands in search of family roots

you won’t find many producers quoting plato - ‘inner symbols’ takes its cue from the philosopher’s words “music is a moral law. it gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, charm and gaiety to life and everything”. influences are many and all, ranging from colonization and african diaspora to korean shamanism, doug hammond to junior byles.

reginald omas mamode iv has a terrific track record thus far. since delivering his debut 12inch back in 2013, hes barely put a foot wrong, with last years intimate friends released mini-album, all together, being a particular highlight. this debut full-length is every bit as impressive as youd expect, with the peckham producer relying a little less on dusty samples, and rather more on loose, live drums, rubbery bass guitar, dreamy rhodes keys, and other luscious instrumentation. as usual, the assembled tracks effortlessly join the dots between jazzy instrumental hip-hop, neo-soul, mauritian drum workouts, broken beat and humid, tropical-tinged grooves.

mini album - two years on from the release of his debut album called natureboy, dario rojo guerra, aka natureboy flako, is back with a new six-song mini album ep on five easy pieces.
