#3

MARC MAC
MESSAGE FROM SOULVILLE
(OMNIVERSE)

Marc Mac (4hero) returns with another Mixtape Style album following on from 'Extend The Knowledge" & "It's Right To Be Civil". Beats are intertwined with soundbites from the 1960's Vietnam War protest era where African Americans were sent to fight in Vietnam during the Civil Rights period in the USA.  


#2

BOOM BIP + CHARLIE WHITE
MUSIC FOR SLEEPING CHILDREN
(LEX)

Music for Sleeping Children is a new collaborative art/music project from artist Charlie White and musician Boom Bip – a series of dance tracks based on in-depth interviews of American teenage girls with accompanying photographic images. Each of Music for Sleeping Children’s five tracks captures the essence of a different teenager, from the privileged and popular Georgia musing on the importance of being liked, to the sultry and complicated Isabelle recalling her melancholy crushes of freshman year, to the neurotic Sabrina planning her life in detail yet fearing failure at every turn. The original interviews were painstaking edited and set against the pin-sharp Boom Bip productions they inspired, whilst the visual element was born out of White’s intensive photographic study of a teenage girl living in the isolated suburbs of southern California.

SONNY SMITH
100 RECORDS VOL.3
(POLYVINYL)

Final installment of Sonny's 100 Records project, where he collaborated with artists who created 100 album covers, while Sonny wrote/recorded the music under fictitious band names.
