“AM444 make head-nodders for spaceships (..) They are undoubtedly one of the Chinese underground’s most exportable products. It’s only a matter of time before this rocket blasts off (..) The sound is, at alternating intervals, dark, hopeful, funky, tranced-out, beautiful, foreboding, buoyant, and back to dark and funky. It’s the drug equivalent of smoking opium, then taking a hit off a crack pipe, and following that up with some downers and a six-pack of Red Bull.” [Layabozi.com] Since 2010’s ‘Eye Wonder’ (also on PAUSE:MUSIC), AM444 have played numerous venues and festivals around China, travelled to Reunion Island, Africa to perform at SAKIFO, had radio play all over the globe, and released a split 12” vinyl record with San Francisco band Tussle & JD Twitch (Optimo). It’s been a busy year so far, and all leading up to this – their second full release – ‘Rooms’. Jay.Soul and ChaCha were giving very little away about the new album, but if you caught their live shows at JZ Festival, Fete De La Musique or The Shelter earlier in the year you would have heard a few previews of what to expect on ‘Rooms’. Dubbed out, funked up and heavy on the low end, paired with a cinematic feel and intricate layering of mutliple vocal parts, AM444’s sound is growing and maturing into something which is very difficult to categorize, yet familiar and accessible to all.

Just Blaze’s Vinyl Collection - Crate Diggers (by fuse)
6am yes I uploaded a bit later than usual but still right on time for those waking up in two hours - Show#520 starts with La Melodia’s last track as they split the group, followed by Menahan Street Band material from their new album, classic Deodato and Jill Scott, another new edit by our tropical hero Funky Bompa, that London emcee Barneyartist with the capital B. Ab-Soul once again as well as the 12min Kendrick Lamar joint yes, 12min!!!! Beautiful Shafiq Husayn remix for Hiatus Kaiyote from Melbourne. Beautiful Rhye is back in the playlist, and so is Nicole Willis. Full Crate did a great remix for MdCL, I was impressed by that one. Some Brazilian flavors, some Flying Lotus too, new album and his birthday today, exclusive Trishes track with 1773 in a Cid Rim remix coming out soon, local band STUFF playing Hud Mo material. Dutch favorite emcee Stick, new Hezekiah project J.Popcorn, Roska, Stubborn Heart and many more… enjoy this one :) and leave a note if you dont mind.

Here we are back with our 20th release! One of our favorites Insightful has returned with his second release on Soulection! If you missed his first release ‘Luck & Love’ make sure to listen closely and hear the progression from 10 months ago. Insightful is one of the most genuine (humble) and talented individuals we know. This album is really deep and it speaks volumes through his sound selection. We advise you to be open minded and allow this music to tap into your mind, soul an third eye. Break away from sound preference, just listen. Enjoy.
“An album dedicated to the lantern you are. The world is dark at times, and this was created to remind you of the light inside of you. My life has been a series of ups and downs and I hope this resonates somehow. Take care.”
