Urban Waves

Today we've got a treat for you with a new single from https://soundcloud.com/tanebeatz titled "Inspirational Speeches" as apart of our ongoing singles series "Parallel Voices", curated by @slowya_roll to spotlight forward thinking fusion, broken beat, and experimental jazz - really, anything that grooves.

Tane's new track is a saucy addition to his already broad collection of tunes. Known for his minimalistic and tasty productions, Tane fuses the flavors of early 2000's hip hop and neo soul with elements of old school funk and fusion. His masterful guitar playing and arrangement skills are highlighted on this grooving track, taking as much inspiration from the current new jazz scene with artists like Kiefer and Tom Misch as it does the older legends like Herbie Hancock and Pat Metheney.

Tane's been cooking up syrupy tunes for years now, through releases with Chillhop and Sundae Sauce, Instagram collab videos, and has even gone above and beyond to create his own acclaimed sample packs + he teaches lessons on the side! A true renaissance man - we're extremely happy with this release and cant wait to see what else he's got cooking up.

Today we're excited to announce our new, ongoing singles series, entitled "Parallel Voices". The series, hand curated by slowya.roll, seeks to invite listeners on a journey through forward thinking fusion, broken beat, experimental jazz - really, anything that grooves. We'll roll out the series over the next few months, concluding with a limited edition vinyl run, with all artwork for the series by Italian designer nocivo_hq , evoking surreal, retro aesthetics sure to inspire. We've got some amazing music lined up, keep those ears open.

Coming in first is none other than multi-instrumentalist 10.4rog with a burning new track titled "Side-Scroll Demo Disk", an ode to funk, up-tempo video game music, broken beat and childhood nostalgia. An off-kilter, odd time signature groove anchored by angular, tasteful chord changes and complex rhythmic elements, the three minute single is propelled by a whining-yet-catchy synth lead melody, a must listen for fans of Kaidi Tatham and the London breakbeat scene.

If you don't yet know 10.4 ROG, now's the time to get familiar. He's been steadily honing his craft over the past few years, whether he's producing for acclaimed artists like demaemae (touching_bass) or _osun, releasing his own highly sought after beat tapes, or concocting a potent mix of psych R&B with his duo Figmore (with juicebox) via fresh selects label. This latest single only adds to his versatillity as a musician, and we're incredibly excited for whatever else he's got in store.

“Ereeséon” is the upcoming album from Swedish composer Blameful Isles. With this project, he explores a more electronic oriented sound than any of his previous work. As he is known for his Jazz, Spiritual Jazz and Organic ambient music, this new album marks the beginning of a new chapter in his music career. Ereeséon is indeed a mysterious and intriguing album, inspired by the golden era electronic and IDM music legends while keeping intact the organic and reactive style that Blameful Isles fans are so fond of.

Today we share with you the first single off the album, entitled "Eranikus". The music sounds like jazz, but taken apart and rewritten by an artificial intelligence. As you start listening, the song grabs you and pulls you closer, liberating your mind and thoughts into an electronic landscape made of pixels that slowly fade in and out of focus as you approach. We invite you to sit back and meditate on this music, as we feel it's truly something special and worthy of your time.

The full project art direction is led by Russian artist Julia Petrovia aka suspiciousobject. To present this incredible journey, we are taking a deep dive into her photography, and the cover for this first single represents a gateway towards the adventure ahead. (Please pay attention to the pink light, as this will prove to be important later on...)

This is just a first glimpse into this soon to be an epic album which, as said before, will mark a culminating point into Blameful Isles career as a producer.

Hang on steady, as the final album is planned for the end of June. We'll share more in the coming month!

Here's a funky introduction to the two man band Duoya from Sweden. Butter is their debut release, a three tracks EP containing two songs from the upcoming album and one exclusive. As they are perfecting their debut full length album we thought to introduce the project to you with this super limited 7" vinyl to mark the day.

Duoya is the funky brainchild of Gustav Horneij and Dimitrios Karatzios. The two met through a shared obsession with jazz vinyls and later started jamming, eventually forming Organic Pulse Ensemble together. While the project in time would turn into Gustav's one man venture, their creative chemistry was still there when they decided to start sending recordings and song sketches back and forth during the spring of 2020. Which in turn was the beginning of a new musical journey.

Harboring the creativity of both artists, Dimitri being an illustrator as well as a musician and Gustav being a multi-instrumentalist and a song writer. When they get together only good things happen. Specially while jamming, they express themselves freely and come up with crazy groovy music that everyone loves to vibe on.

In expectation for the amazing upcoming album that is in the works, Butter turned out to be the perfect appetizer to get in the mood and discover this brand new project with the complicity of Urban Waves Records.

Whisper in the Wood is the new and fourth album by Borealism released early March on Urban Waves Records.

Borealism goes above and beyond anything he did so far with Whisper in the Wood.

The album meanders across several electronic genres including downtempo and ambient, maintaining balance between melodic harmony and stark dissonance. The album is a journey of life’s imminent changes and the processes of transmutation which must follow.

As we are looking forward to start shipping the vinyls early April we wanted to share the full experience with you on Soundcloud. The pre-order is still going on Bandcamp and you can head over and secure a limited vinyl over there.

Here are two tracks taken out of Borealism next album titled "Whispers in the Wood" that will be released at the end of February 2021 on Urban Waves Records. Peik Wahl aka Borealism is a young multi-instrumentalist and producer based out of Spokane, Washington. Growing up in the north of the US close to many National reserves and the border with British Columbia. Borealism was always inspired by the majestic and divine presence of nature. His music and art always tend to bring us to an awakened spiritual state and liberate our minds. Which makes him a one of a kind type of musician, his music is very distinctive and original to say the least. With Digital Juice & Frida we're giving you a great first look/listen into his next project. Please seat back and enjoy this for a while.

The incredibly talented and inspiring producer hailing from Long Beach, California, Bry.Zen dropped his new album on Urban Waves Records. Imagine a post apocalyptic world where a wasteland wanderer stumbles upon a studio that is still in working order. Then starts making music based on all the genres that he loved before the catastrophic event. That's how we think of No Hope For Tomorrow. Although if you corelate it to our reality you can think of it as a light of hope that shines and guide us through the to the times everyone has been going through the past year.

We wanted to end this year off in grace with a fantastic body of work.

The album is available on digital and cassette tape! Check out the link in bio.

Happy holidays everyone, keep your heads up and look forward as there's always light after dark.

The incredibly talented producer Bry.Zen will drop his new album on Urban Waves Records before the end of 2020. Gamma Rays is a first single out of that project. The entire tape has a post apocalyptic vibe with some surprising variations in terms of genres. While we wait for the full tape to drop we have this special tune as an intro.
