Premier album pour Dandyguel qui sortira Trophée le 17 mars prochain. Le MC tout terrain dévoile le menu dès la première track : bon esprit et bonne musique. Rappeur tout terrain mais aussi beatmaker, Dandyguel propose un sample de bossa nova, kicke sur Oréo Inversé un boom bap de bonne facture, et nous offre avec My House une plongée de trois minutes de deep house, enfin dans Partout Chez Moi, Dandy verse même dans le cloud rap. A l’aise derrière les machines comme avec sa plume, parfois grave mais souvent drôle, Dandy nous montre avec cet album toute l’étendue de son talent.

Called “the poet laureate of the apocalypse” by Pitchfork, Moor Mother is announcing ‘Jazz Codes'. Coming out on July 1, it is her second album for ANTI- and a companion to her celebrated 2021 release ’Black Encyclopedia of the Air‘.’Jazz Codes’ uses poetry as a starting point, but the collection moves toward more melody, more singing voices, more choruses and more complexity. In its warm, densely layered course through jazz, blues, soul, hip-hop, ’Jazz Codes’ sets the ear blissfully adrift and unhitches the mind from habit. Through her work, Ayewa illuminates the principles of her interdisciplinary collaborative practice Black Quantum Futurism, a theoretical framework for creating counter-chronologies and envisioning Black quantum womanist futures that rupture exclusionary versions of history and future through art, writing, music, and performance.Moor Mother - aka the songwriter, composer, vocalist, poet, and visual artist Camae Ayewa – is also a professor at the University of Southern California's Thornton School of Music. She released her debut album Fetish Bones in 2016 and has since put out an abundance of acclaimed music, both as a solo artist and in collaboration with other musicians who share her drive to dig up the untold. She is a member of many other groups including the free jazz group Irreversible Entanglements, 700 bliss and moor jewelry. She has also toured and recorded with The Art Ensemble of Chicago and Nicole Mitchell.

Dans une Sibérie provinciale; où la sensation de pesanteur et les sons de joie indigènes façonnent le paysage, dans cette atmosphère même d’un sentiment permanent d'underground; chaque cour est une installation artistique. Au milieu de ces «objets d'art», c'est un design sonore unique qui émerge tel la bande-son de la vie. En alliant des rythmes minimalistes et un flow monotone, une perspective originale sur le genre musicale se propose.

Sharing passing similarities to two of modern indie hip-hop's top producers, Madlib and the late J Dilla, L.A.-based Warp recording artist Flying Lotus has created a darkly meditative fusion of debris and warmth, b-boy head-nod, and laptopper experimentalism out of static, texture, and rhythm.
