Kwes.: New 'Ilpix' Remix EP
When Dummy put kwes.' 'ilp.' near the top of their 'British albums that deserve Mercury nods in 2014' list, we agreed with them and imagine that Hot Chip's Joe Goddard, Tom Vek, Jeremiah Jae and patten did too.
This far-ranging crew of sonic adventurers, all friends of kwes., have graciously applied their own skills to a spread of tracks from his Warp debut. Joe Goddard turns album opener 'Purplehands' into a dizzy slow motion house jam, replete with shape-shifting electro breakdown, funhouse synths and effervescent sound effects. Tom Vek takes the baton and flips 'Rollerblades' into low-riding funk pop that brings to mind Zapp high-fiving Dam-Funk with Arthur Russell in the driver's seat.
On 'ilp.' the track 'Hives' served as a grounded instrumental centerpiece, here Jeremiah Jae jumps on the mic to transform it into a vivid autumnal art-rap hit while Warp label-mate patten wraps up the EP with a mix that could be a dub version transmitted through a malfunctioning Skype connection - in the most beautiful way.
As both a reminder of the richness of the original album and a self-contained listening experience 'ilpix.' should tide listeners over until new kwes. material surfaces in 2015.
Streaming exclusively on Dazed Digital, see link below.

Anna Calvi: Mercury Prize & Morrissey Tour
We are very pleased to announce that Anna Calvi has been nominated for the Mercury Music Prize for her critically acclaimed second album, 'One Breath'. Anna's eponymous debut album also picked up a nomination for the coveted prize in 2011.
Produced by John Congleton in Blackbox Studios, France and mixed in Dallas, Texas, USA, 'One Breath' was written in a year and recorded over a few intense weeks. 'One Breath' is a more personal record than its predecessor. Reflective and vulnerable, it strikes a balance between optimism and despair, beauty and ugliness. The fiery elements of Anna's debut remain, but 'One Breath' is more instinctive and urgent, revealing a wider spectrum of textures and emotion.
Following standout performances at Isle Of Wight, Glastonbury, Latitude and Green Man, Anna Calvi has been invited to support Morrissey for a string of his UK and European dates, including a show at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday 29th November.

Buraka Som Sistema: New Album 'Buraka'
"It's not about introducing Kuduro anymore. It's not about looking back on 'Black Diamond' and how fresh it was, and it's certainly not about surrounding ourselves with bigger artists to validate our work", Branko explains.
'Buraka' is about dance music and culture. It's about five creative individuals on a personal journey through music, determined to give the world a front row seat to experience a new global lifestyle.
The motto 'From Buraka to the World', first presented on the title of their debut EP, is taking a 180 degree turn to become 'From The World to Buraka', as the group goes even deeper into their research for exciting new rhythms and genres while simultaneously developing a network of like-minded artists through their record label Enchufada. Guest appearances were kept to a minimum as Buraka recruited exclusively from within their own camp. Algerian-British songstress Yadi and Lisbon scene rising star Bison helped to shape Buraka's zouk bass sound into a modern pop song on 'Do Me Now', Alo Wala contributed with their Indian-inspired tropical beats for 'In a Minute' and renowned Portuguese artist Vhils jumps onboard for a visual collaboration on the explosive video for global anthem 'Stoopid'.
This definitely feels like the beginning of a new cycle for a band that started with a clubnight in downtown Lisbon, and matured into the full-blown lifestyle that director Joao Pedro Moreira captured on the 'Off The Beaten Track' documentary. This is the world 'Buraka' lives in and everyone is invited.
'Buraka' is released on 8th September, pre-order on iTunes.
