最新のアツ過ぎるリリース、ご紹介します！！

UBIQUITY RECORDS PRESENTS – ADRIAN YOUNGE VS. ADRIAN QUESADA E.P.

ミュージシャン、プロデューサーそして今まで実際会った人の中で一二を争うぐらいの天才Adrian Younge (Venice Dawn , Black Dynamite) とAdrian Quesada (The Echocentrics, Ocote Soul Sounds, Brownout and  grammy-winning Grupo Fantasma)のコラボレーションです。Ubiquity Recordsからリリースします。

 

Adrian Younge とAdrian Quesada、 同じ名前を共有するだけでな く、彼らはサイケデリックでありシネマティックなソウルサウンドを追求していたところで共感を得たのでこのコラボレーションは必然的といっても過言ではな いと思います。最近のSXSWミュージックフェスで一緒のラインナップの際に出会った彼らですが元はＭＰＣを使ったスタイルから本格的に全楽器を使えるま でになったとか。

最近のプロジェクトで言うとAdrian Youngeはwaxpoeticsから “Something About April”をリリース、Adrian Quesada はというと、EchocentricsとTimbalandへのトリビュートをした”Echoland”を。彼らはお互い独自なサウンドを持ってますが、あえて言うならMorricone, 初期のPortishead, Wu-Tang や60年代のサイケデリック映画のサントラといえるはず！
こんな彼らがコラボレーションしたんですから、是非視聴してみてください！
ヒップホップが好きな人も格好いいと思ってくれるって信じてます。

Lemme introduce a collaboration EP with LA based musician/producer/genious Adrian Younge (Venice Dawn , Black Dynamite) Adrian Quesada (The Echocentrics, Ocote Soul Sounds, Brownout and  grammy-winning Grupo Fantasma)

A first name is not all Adrian Younge and Adrian Quesada share, they also both have an equal love of the psychedelic, the cinematic and at the root of it all, soul music. So it was inevitable that a collaboration would eventually come to fruition. Mutual admirers of each others work, they first met at the SXSW music festival while on the same bill. Both began their production careers on MPC and taught themselves various instruments to further capture the symphonies heard in their heads.

Fresh off his current solo project “Something About April” under the moniker Venice Dawn, Adrian Younge found time to create all new tracks with Adrian Quesada who just released his “Echoland” tribute to Timbaland with the Echocentrics. Although both are distinct artists in their own right, they are cut from the same cloth with a signature sound that’s equal parts Morricone, early Portishead, Wu-Tang and 60’s psychedelic cinema soundtracks. Their combined efforts on this EP guarantees a double dose of the sound we have come to expect from these talented individuals.

MIKE JAMES KIRKLAND FEAT. NICO JAAR AND 78 EDITS

こちらはUbiquity RecordsのLuv N’Haightのカタログを再エディットするプロジェクトの第一弾です！
第一段目を手掛けるのはMIKE JAMES KIRKLAND！A面はWolf+Lamb Recordsにて“Bluewave Edits”をリリースした Nico Jaarのエディット “What My Last Girl Put Me Through”、そしてＢ面はクラッシクソング” What Have We Done”を 78 Edits というプロデューサーによるものです。

78 EditsはＵＫのプロデューサーでGiant Cuts, Audio Parallax, やEditorialからリリース経験のある、12インチのエディットをおもにやって来た人だそうで、アルバムHang On In There に入っている“What Have We Done”をコンガも入ったトライバル調のミッドテンポなダンスチューンにしてます！私もＤＪのときにかけようっと！ってか、グルーヴィーでくそかっこういい！！
Nico Jaar’sの The Mike And The Censations “There’s Nothing I Can Do About It” エディットは元はと言うとプロモ版シングルとしてWolf+Lamb and Ubiquity Records よりリリースされていたそうです。Vol.2も楽しみでス！

Featuring Ubiquity’s first volume in a series of re-edits from our Luv N’Haight catalog starting off with Mike James Kirkland. Nico Jaar’s edit “What My Last Girl Put Me Through” on his excellent “Bluewave Edits” previously released by Wolf+Lamb Records is featured on the A-side with a deep rework of the classic “What Have We Done” by prolific and talented producer 78 Edits on the flip.

Nico Jaar’s highly sought after “Bluewave Edits” release in 2011 contained some radical re-takes and treatments to tracks by Missy Elliot and The Blow but his re-vision of The Mike And The Censations track “There’s Nothing I Can Do About It” was arguably the highlight. Originally released as a “promotion only” single, this release is an official collaboration between Wolf+Lamb and Ubiquity Records with a follow up edit of another Mike And The Censations track by Nico in the works to be released in the near future as Vol.2 of the Mike James Kirkland re-edit series.

UK producer Jamie Buchanan aka 78 Edits is a veteran in the 12” re-edit scene with releases on Giant Cuts, Audio Parallax, and Editorial. His take on Mike James Kirkland’s “What Have We Done” from the legendary “Hang On In There” album transforms the original from a conga and vocal driven song to a stretched out, 8 minute, mid-tempo dance tune.
