Manual - Drowned in Light - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Confluence is Danish producer Jonas Munk's third installment in his series of ambient albums, following the much loved the North Shore from 2003 and Bajamar from 2006. Unlike Munk's better known work, which centers around electronica and shoegazing aesthetics as well as a love of 1980s production techniques, these ambient works are completely without beats, or even time signatures, and are delicately constructed out of slowly evolving streams of guitar that has been processed into oblivion and back. But even compared to the standard set by the two aforementioned albums, Confluence is surprisingly dark and minimalist. These eight new compositions move slowly and seamlessly, like the ebb and flow of the changing tide, with subtle layering and filtering providing the essential means of movement.

Whitewalls and Harmonies is the soul-drenched debut album from soul duo Jaywalk and The Cadillacs - weaving elements of hip hop, neo-soul, jazz, and downtempo electronic into a seamlessly resonant whole.Filled with contributions from a cast of gifted collaborators including Harleighblu, Ke Turner, Frank Nitt, Belle Chen and Laville, the heart of the project is rooted in the creative chemistry between producer-musician Ash Walker and lyricist, producer and musician Illa J (the younger brother of the legendary J Dilla).Much of the album was conceived during sessions in London, Iceland, and on the road during Illa J's solo tour-adding a sense of movement and lived experience to the record's production. Organic studio magic, combined with forward-thinking arrangements, gives Whitewalls & Harmonies a rare depth and cohesion.The album provides a space to explore and solidify what the Jaywalk and The Cadillac's sound truly represents raw emotion, refined musicianship, and a genre-fluid approach grounded in soul and experimentation.
