Django Django - Django Django - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Django Django's Born Under Saturn expands on the slippery, indefinable nature of their self-titled debut - applying all of it's giddy art-rock imagination only this time across a much wider canvas. Throughout the album, Django Django continue to find magic in the unexplored spaces between musical genres - criss crossing house beats with clarinets, rock hooks with reggae drum lines.

Django Django - David Maclean (producer/drummer), Vincent Neff (vocalist/guitarist), Jimmy Dixon (bass) and Tommy Grace (synths) - return, exploring new sounds with their third full-length album, Marble Skies. It's a concise and focused album that recalls their dynamic, genre-blurring debut and it's handmade, cut-and-paste approach. Following the of Django Django's 2012 Mercury Prize-nominated debut and 2015's Born Under Saturn, the process for Marble Skies began with a back-to-basics approach in line with the DIY ethos of the band's early days. In late 2016, Django Django (minus Maclean) assembled at Urchin Studios in Tottenham, London with Metronomy drummer Anna Prior to experiment with new material. After ten days of recording, there was plenty of raw material to send to Maclean for him to edit, refine and evolve before the band rejoined for recording proper. Marble Skies was completed in mid-2017 in their small, equipment-crammed studio in north London - a similar environment to the first record, which was recorded in Maclean's bedroom.

An instrumental album by Batsauce, inspired by the nocturnal. 'Echolocation is a technique used by bats, dolphins and other animals to determine the location of objects using reflected sound. This allows the animals to move around in pitch darkness, so they can navigate, hunt, identify friends and enemies, and avoid obstacles.' -BBC Wildlife Magazine After cutting his teeth in the early 2000's in the Jacksonville, Florida music scene (DUUUUVAL!), Batsauce has spent over half of his life as a digital nomad with his wife, Lady Daisey. From Berlin to Vietnam (and all over Asia) to Mexico where he now resides semi-permanently, the beat maker has emitted sound waves across the globe and now their echoes have all come bouncing back in one glorious sonic symphony. 'Echolocation' is the sum effect of Batsauce's travels and experiences which have shaped and reshaped his sound over the years. Expect knockin' drums, anthemic horns and in-your-face bass lines paired with an expansive range of rare loops, stirring strings and an ever-present radar blip that makes you feel like you're a bat out at night on the hunt. You may know him for his production for Mr. Lif, Akrobatik, Qwazaar, Paten Locke and Dillon, now indulging in more of Batsauce's solo instrumental work with 'Echolocation', the follow-up to 2021's 'Wolf's Clothing'. Available on limited 'Cave Gray' vinyl.
