Charme

Debut album from stalwart Manchester rapper/producer Chunky.A proud Mancunian with Zimbabwean roots, the record reflects on his journey growing up in Manchester and takes a deep, introspective dive through his inner workings, set to a backdrop of deconstructed Grime and rap fused with a variety of Afro-Diasporic sounds.A regular MC/Host for the likes of Swamp81 and Hessle Audio and a long time affiliate of Loefah, Zed Bias, Chimpo, Dub Phizix, and Manchesters Levelz crew, Chunky's voice is synonymous with the sounds of the UK's underground club scene. Revered as one of the city's finest MCs and producers, his music is soaked with depth and experience, unafraid to push the envelope and create a space all of its own.

Balearic instrumental chiller from French Londoner on Growing Bin. Flute, vibes, acoustic, guitar, drum machines. Nice!

Really beautiful deep, minimal works from Irish ambient master. Dusty, atmospheric piano, tape loops & strings, for fans of John Carroll kirby, C.R. Gillespie, Golden Ivy... highly recommended! WRWTFWW Records presents the third album by Irish producer Gareth Quinn Redmond, following his Satoshi Ashikawa-inspired Laistigh Den Ghleo released in 2019 and this year’s ambient-meets-Irish-traditional-music soundscape Umcheol. The 8-track LP comes as a limited edition of 500 copies worldwide with an artwork by Dublin artist Barry Gibbons and liner notes from Gareth Quinn Redmond himself. Ar Ais Arís is Gareth Quinn Redmond’s fortuitous love affair with the art of tape loops - a practice he discovered while performing with Ross Chaney and Myles O’Reilly in late November 2020. Fascinated, he spent months experimenting with the technique: "By cracking open the shell of a cassette, cutting the tape and splicing the ends together, I created repeating sound loops of varying lengths. After reassembling and slotting the cassette into the Tascam Portastudio, I recorded and played back the sounds of the tape loop. These sounds were then manipulated using the pitch wheel to make subtle and warbly inflections to the recordings. This is achieved by speeding up or slowing down the playback speed of the tape, which offers dynamic contrasts in both mood and texture."The result is 8 deliciously enchanting minimalistic tape loops creating a very rare kind of daydreaming environmental music full of accidental miracles and dusty soothing backdrops. It’s a very very very pleasant listening experience inspiring a feeling of enveloping warmth and gentle coziness, with an uncanny touch of spellbinding magic. Press play.
