4Sight : Dendritic [BB33]

“Che Ramirez aka 4Sight grew up in a very musical household. Born in Ireland, now living in Philadelphia via San Francisco, his grandfather, the Latin-American composer Emilio Ramirez Garcia, instilled a lifelong musical passion throughout the family, with jazz, salsa, rock and classical being practised and performed around him from an early age as well as access to a wide variety of instruments.

An eclectic taste developed naturally… ‘My daily digest of music when i was around 9 years old was Gentle Giant, King Crimson, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Nine Inch Nails, DJ Shadow, Tool, Rachmaninoff, and Debussy among others’

His passion for jazz took him to study at the University of the Arts in PA, and the seed of 4Sight’s musical identity were sewn when he began to combine his jazz guitar playing with inspirations from the LA beat scene, and Brainfeeder’s output in particular.

‘Rather than trying to make something that would be true to a tradition like jazz, it was almost like I had the ability to mould my own unique sound and mood. I felt as though i was channelling an ultra-creative part of my mind that I had never tapped into before. This creative pocket is what is fanned out over 7 tracks that make up the EP. It ‘s an embodiment of me branching out musically and artistically and taking what I know in different directions, hence the name Dendritic: Having a branched out form resembling a tree'”

Blu.Sine : Can You Hear in Color [self released]

“Coloring the music and playing the colors. Combining the seemingly un-combinable. Coexistence of waves – light, sound, lines drawn by pen and thoughts. A collage of the past and the future, sharing much more than just the line between them. The message of aesthetics and darkness demands attention to reveal its essence; and combining the avant-garde, pop culture and original ideas demands more than apathy and narcissism. Do you dare to hear in color while the world is turning black-and-white?”

Février : Honey [Nu-Logic073]

Honey is the amalgam of the past year in many forms.

Pk jazz Collective : Unpredictable Feelings [SCL127]

“A year ago, who would have thought that only appeared Pk jazz Collective will be the main driving force of our label. This is reflected not only in the number of published album received many positive reviews, but also in collaboration with many artists such as: Ховбай Хвекмеев, Павкашавет бантут and Alex Fry from Break The Bans.
Now, we have reached a new album by Pk jazz Collective, and I want to note that Вячеслав continues to vocalizing, just like in 4×4, his previous album. Here we can see departure from kraut-jazz to psychedelic rock, with a strong impact of ‘The Doors’ sound. There is Also a collaboration track: ‘Just With You’ was co-wrote by Moscow based band Райт.”
