About this product
2023 . Hardly The Same Snake is Skinny Pelembe's sophomore album, but his first fully embracing his artistic self. Visceral yet inherently soulful, Hardly The Same Snake is the sound of the Johannesburg-born, Doncaster-raised artist finally finding his voice - both literally and figuratively. In practical terms, that involved finding the courage to foreground his gravelly baritone in these gloriously genre-agnostic productions. But it also meant branching out beyond the safety net of his former tag - Gilles' Peterson's Brownswood Recordings - to figure out the artist he truly wanted to be. As Skinny puts it today, in his soft South Yorkshire drawl, InchThis album is what I would have created, first time round had I rated my own voice.Inch Determined that the album shouldn't sound like a band record, but equally mustn't feel Inchtoo button push-yInch, Skinny assembled songs by sampling instrumentation originally recorded live, including chopped and looped versions of the brilliantly complex beats played by Malcolm Catto of The Heliocentrics. It was a painstaking process that paid off, resulting in an album fathoms ahead of it's promising predecessor, and one that honestly reflects Skinny's creative evolution. The idea of forging your own path - and shedding skin, so to speak - is integral to Hardly The Same Snake. It's a defiantly outward-looking record contemplating family, religion and major life milestones, from parenthood to death.

There is more than one way to listen to Beborn Beton's ninth album InchDarkness Falls AgainInch it is possible to just dance and enjoy contemporary synth pop hymns that have a solid musical based in the golden 80s with a dash of cool 90s influences. Catchy tunes and mature songwriting combine to form a sonic joyride. Yet Beborn Beton also put their finger right on the pulse of our time and speak out against misogyny, sexual discrimination, and environmental destruction. Beborn Beton were founded by vocalist Stefan Netschio, keyboard player and drummer Stefan Tillmann, and keyboard player Michael Wagner in 1989. The trio set out with the declared aim to keep synth pop relevant and give it meaning. Following their first two regular albums InchTybaltInch (1993) and InchConcrete GroundInch (1994), Beborn Beton joined renowned acts such as WOLFSHEIM and DE/VISION in a new tag home. Having conquered Germany, the three electro-musicians rapidly expanded their realm abroad with the 1996 full-length InchNightfallInch, followed by InchTruthInch in 1997, and InchFakeInch (1999) that gained the Germans international acclaim by critics and fans alike. By the time, InchRückkehr zum EisplanetenInch ('Return to the Ice-Planet') was released in 2000, Beborn Beton had firmly positioned themselves as a headlining act within their scene and toured all the strongholds of electronic music. Yet heavy touring and the highly demanding creative output of so many excellent albums in quick succession took their toll. After the of InchTales from Another WorldInch (2002) and an exhausting US tour, Beborn Beton went on an extended hiatus. 13 years later, Beborn Beton returned with a new album on Dependent Recordings to the delight and surprise of their still huge following. InchA Worthy CompensationInch (2015) was showered with accolades from the relevant magazines. Having learned from previous
