  • Listen To Exclusive Interview With Circles And Ellipses

    British composer and electronic producer Circles And Ellipses releases "Burn:Cycle Reworks" via Here & Now Recordings; a follow-up EP to the original soundtrack of the 1994 video game Burn:Cycle, the first ever video game soundtrack to feature orchestral music, consisting of four reimagined electronic compositions. Originally composed and produced by both Chris Whitten and BAFTA-nominated British film score composer, conductor, producer and musician Simon Boswell in the early '90s for the adventure video-game title published by Philips Interactive Media,

    Chris Whitten now returns as Circles And Ellipses to share reworks of this classic game soundtrack. Whitten's musical journey has been a vast and impressive one so far, from producing classic '80s hit-singles such as "What I Am"by Edie Brickell & New Bohemians (which currently boasts 10 million views on YouTube alone), to providing drums for "The Whole of the Moon"by The Waterboys and the legendary Sir Paul McCartney's 1989 album"Flowers In The Dirt"and joining iconic British rock band Dire Straits on their final world tour from 1991-1992 and once again during their 2017 reunion tour.

    Chris Whitten is also widely recognised for composing original scores for top media companies, including BBC and Discovery Channel. Circles And Ellipses has just done a Mix for NTS Radio's Tim Noakes' 'Synth Hero Show' whose previous guests include film composer Clint Mansell, dance duo Orbital, Stranger Things composer Kyle Dixon, and Paul White from R&S Records. Noakes has described Whitten as"cult drum God".

    Chris Whitten was born in Wimbledon, just outside London and now lives in the west of England, near Bath and Glastonbury. With a burning desire to pursue a musical career, Whitten left home at the early age of just 16 to study jazz and classical composition at The City Of Leeds College Of Music, although his musical diploma would be cut short in 1979 after picking up more local gigs and eventually embarking on a tour with seminal British jazz-fusion guitarist Gary Boyle.

    In the early 1980s, producer and guitarist Simon Boswell invited Whitten to perform drums on an album session in Rome. On returning to London, Whitten would contribute to many various styled projects and bands including punk/ funk band Out fronted by local fashion icon and journalist Alix Sharkey, repeated RCA Studio Sessions in Rome, and working as drummer and arranger on several hit albums for celebrated Italian musicians such as Francesco De Gregori, Gianni Morandiand Riccardo Cocciante, collaborating on Cocciante's 10th studio album with orchestral arranger Paul Buckmaster(Elton John, Miles Davis).

    Former bandmate Karl Wallinger had since joined Scottish-Irish folk rock band The Waterboys, and in 1984, Whitten would take up drum duties.Chris Whitten performed drums on the hit single "The Whole Of The Moon", which is still regarded as The Waterboys'"finest hour and signature recording". Whitten then gained a shining reputation as a prolific freelance studio drummer for artists such as Swing Out Sister and Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders).

    Co-producer of the original "Burn:Cycle Soundtrack"Simon Boswell currently holds more than 90 credits in film and TV composition, including acclaimed classics such as Phenomena(1985), Santa Sangre(1989), A Midsummer Night's Dream(1999)and many more. Boswell's record productions from the 1980's have influenced many other contemporary musicians, notably "Block Rockin' Beats"by UK electronic act The Chemical Brothers.

    Whitten sees himself as a drummer with a passion for synthesizers. Although he loves the synth sounds of 90's techno and electronica, Whitten also takes influences from more classic sounds such as the work of Herbie Hancock, Jan Garbarek and Eberhard Weber.As for his electronica inspirations, Whitten has drawn influence from the likes of minimal techno artist Speedy J, early Detroit techno from 69(Carl Craig) and Kenny Larkin, as well UK's Kirk DeGiorgio and contemporary electronic producer Lone. Whitten's work as Circles And Ellipses for the "Burn:Cycle Reworks" EP can best be compared to minimal techno maestros such as Stephan Bodzin and Max Cooper.

  • LISTEN TO EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH LUMEN CRAFT

    Brazilian electronic-indie three-piece Lumen Craft released their latest single, "Stranger", via Natasha Records on the 18th January 2019. Featured in a slew of top Spotify playlists and as well as in acclaimed publications such as Folha de São Paulo, Brazil's widest reaching newspaper, MTV's Monkeybuzz, the blog of multi-billion dollar company Converse and Brazil's most in-demand music guide, Popload Sessions; Lumen Craft continue to go from strength to strength. The band have an infectious live presence and have performed for the prestigious Sofar Sound Latin America in 2016, at one of the biggest indie festivals in Brazil, MECA Inhotim Festival, in 2017, INNER multi.art events, and have been hand-picked to play at Brazil's Rock The Mountain 2018 next month, where they will be sharing a stage with Brazilian stars Planet Hemp and BaianaSystem. In the past the trio have performed alongside a host of acclaimed artists, including Brazilian music legend Jorge Ben Jor, London alt-pop duo Oh Wonder and Aussie electropop outfit Miami Horror.

    Currently based in the bustling metropolis of Sao Paulo, Lumen Craft is made up of producer Ceah Pagotto, guitarist Noah Guper and singer John Evans. While all three members of the group have always been surrounded by music in their homes, it was in London that they discovered their mutual passion for experimenting with sound and writing the infectious electronic-infused music that they are known for today. Lumen Craft are the offspring of a city as warm as their music and prismatic as their performances, and the cosmopolitan energy that they exude can be traced back to the city of lights and sounds that nurtured them.

    Although Lumen Craft draw from an eclectic mix of sources when it comes to inspiration, such as Little Dragon, SBTRKT, James Blake, alt-J, Four Tet, Flying Lotus and many more, what their influences hold in common is a pop optimism, an experimental edge and a glittering quirkiness. When it comes to their own sound, Lumen Craft could be compared to soulful indie heroes like Bob Moses, Metronomy and Electric Guest.

    "Stranger" draws the listener in with a funky bassline and sexy guitar solos, preparing us for vocalist John Evans' bluesy crooning. Retro-inspired synth sounds add an undoubtable quirkiness to the track's sensual groove, while crisp beats and bass cuts make sure "Stranger" could resonate with any modern audience. The piece is a dance-floor triumph, oozing all the right parts of the 70's and 80's, while effortlessly staying slick and fresh.

    On their brand new single, "Stranger", Lumen Craft explain, "It's an invitation to the unknown, a guide to unexplored lands. It's an affirmation of identity, surrendering the soul to the course of destiny. Let the mind flow and enjoy the ride."

    Scotland's iconic pop singer 'Natasha England' returns with a single 'Somehow', taken off her earlier released album 'Somehow'. The track captures dreamy vocals with a prominent sense of womanhood shown through the isolated message within the track.

At 20, she was working in management, and helping to oversee the careers of, among others, David Bowie and Rod Stewart. A few years later, she had her own label, Towerbell, which launched the careers of Darts and Chas & Dave. And as a promoter, she arranged European tours for Jerry Lee Lewis, The Commodores, The Average White Band and James Brown.

    By 1982, she was a Top 10 chart act with her version of the classic Iko Iko, produced by Tom Newman of Tubular Bells fame. It also charted in Ireland reaching number 7, and New Zealand where it peaked at number 5 as well as scoring 26th biggest selling single of the year. It was quickly followed by another hit, The Boom Boom Room and a charting album, Captured.
