Mixtape #120

02 November 2020


Ingenious Brooklyn based drummer and composer Matt Evans is known for his collaborations and contributions to many musical projects including Tigue, Bearthoven, Man Forever and Private Elevators, amongst others. Versatile and daring, one of his most recent ventures resulted in his debut solo album, New Topographics, a bewitching and wholly mesmerizing collection of rhythmic percussion/electronic pieces. With a new record in the works, we’re ecstatic Evans has found the time to put together this month's heavenly mixtape. In his own words:

“it's a pretty mellow mix of tender tones surrounding longing, life and loss — I'm currently finishing a record that's a lot more textural and spacious than my last and i'd say this mix is more representative of the music i'm currently working on than the tunes i released earlier this year”

Beverly Glenn-Copeland: first European performances of classic album Keyboard Fantasies this November

17 October 2018

Canadian artist Beverly Glenn-Copeland has been in it for the long haul, creating extraordinary and pioneering compositions for over three decades. A jack of all trades, Copeland not only plays several instruments and sings sublimely, but his work and life spans a multitude of other areas, from being a transgender artist to being a playwright. Now 74, he has only recently been getting attention, after a Japanese collector rediscovered his music, namely the album Keyboard Fantasies, which was reissued on vinyl last year via Invisible City. Mixing elements of folk, electronics and jazz, Keyboard Fantasies is a timeless album that sounded far ahead of its time when Copeland first self-released it in 1986.

Next month and for the first time ever, Copeland will bring Keyboard Fantasies to Europe, accompanied by his band Indigo Rising, with a very special performance in store at Le Guess Who?, curated by Devendra Banhart as well as Moor Mother. For a marvellous taste, take a look at this gorgeous video of Beverly Glenn-Copeland and Indigo Rising performing the opener ‘Evernew’.
