Ubiquity Recordings - March 2007

NOW AVAILABLE:LANU - THIS IS MY HOME

The stunning solo debut from New Zealand-born, Melbourne-based producer Lanu (aka Lance Ferguson) is brimming with future soul and broken beat flavors. With forward-thinking production and intuitive jazz sensibility, this album marks a distinct departure from the raw, deep funk sound of Ferguson's other project, The Bamboos, and features guests Quantic and Aloe Blacc.

With his Antipodean deep funk outfit The Bamboos, Ferguson has recorded for respected independent labels such as Freestyle, Soul Force, Kay Dee and has now released an album with Tru Thoughts/Ubiquity. His passion for DJing has taken him all over Europe and Asia. Ferguson drew on these global experiences for the new album, assimilating and incorporating sights, sounds, themes and friends into an hour-long Australasian future soul opus. Don Blackman, Roy Ayers, George Duke and the Mizells are big influences for Lanu but the album is even more informed and inspired by the digital rhythms of West London and Detroit and Ferguson’s infectious contemporary hybrid sounds are buoyed by expertly programmed beats.

UBIQUITY RELEASES FOR APRIL '07

AVAILABLE 04/10/2007NOSTALGIA 77 “EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN”

Winning “Jazz Album of the Year” award from BBC Radio 1 in 2006 and nominated for last years “John Peel Play More Jazz” award, Nostalgia 77 have also been quoted as “keeping jazz music both current and relevant.” On “Everything Under The Sun” the Nostalgia 77 teams adds vocalists to create a beautiful cosmic-tinged jazz album that is as much classic, spiritual, Impulse-influenced music as it is Cinematic Orchestra or Koop.

VARIOUS ARTISTS Choices EP 1

The brand new Ubiquity EP series features multiple artists, all exclusive tracks. Tunes will be one-off collaborations, exclusive mixes, sneak peaks at future Ubiquity albums and new joints collected from artists around the world. This first EP will debut as a promo at WMC 2007, and will be released just two weeks later. EPs will be released simultaneously on vinyl, digitally via all the usual channels in addition to a limited edition CD.Latest signing to the label The Lions drop a rocksteady version of Lyn Collins James Brown-written classic “Think” with Noelle (Rebirth) on vocals. New project Hipster Wonkaz (one half of Inverse Cinematics + Pablo from Faces records) break future beats on “Jupiter Jam,” Connie Price and the Keystones team up with Percee P on the cinematic hip hop joint “Thundersounds”, and Scottish beat nut Hudson Mohawke drops Atari sounds and deadly bass lines on “Free Mo.”

AVAILABLE 04/24/07JIMI TENOR “JOYSTONE”

Joystone is the latest musical excursion by the ever-inventive arranger, composer and musician Jimi Tenor. On Joystone the super-eccentric Finn teams up with Kabu Kabu, a trio of West-African musicians and ex-Fela Kuti sidemen lead by Nicholas Addo Nettey. The result is an exceptionally unique and inspired album that joins the dots between dance music, Afro-beat, funk, and pop.

PEDER “AND HE JUST POINTED TO THE SKY”

As an award winning producer and member of the hip hop production team The Prunes, Peder has produced, remixed and released a long list of somebodys including the Beastie Boys, DJ Krush, The Roots, and DJ Vadim for labels like Mo’ Wax and Grand Royal. The computer has served him well, but after reading an interview with Rick Rubin, he decided to follow the super producer’s lead, close his eyes and listen instead of looking at the screen. The Rubin intervention led to an album that’s slow, dark, cinematic and demands your attention. This is some dark Tim Burton, Twin Peaks type shit. Partly an instrumental record (including a collaboration with Shawn Lee), guest vocalists include Ubiquity's Nino Moschella, New York based gospel singer Dean Bowman, Danish singers Ane Trolle and Joy Morgan.
