Repress!
Rhythm Section INTL, following outings on Distant Hawaii (now Distant Horizons), Local Talk and a forthcoming EP on Lumberjacks in Hell.

The lead track, “Love Is” is a joint effort with long term collaborator Cazeaux O.S.L.O. It’s a meditation on Love, in all its complexities. This exploration is dissected across this deeply personal concept album – a 50-minute journey through the highs and lows of love and loss. Across 12 tracks we’re taken on a journey which seamlessly incorporates Soul, Jazz, Hip-Hop & Brazilian influences – all drenched in a deep longing which traces its roots back to the masters of deep, melancholic House music.

Born into a musical family and brought up on a blend of Jazz and Hip Hop, Prequel supplements his sample-based style with a number of luminaries of the Australian music scene in the form of guests Horatio Luna on bass, Josh Kelly on sax, Cazeaux O.S.L.O on vocals, Javier Fredes on percussion and Tamil Rogeon on violin/viola.

Deeply influenced by his love of film, the album is accompanied by a series of music videos edited by Prequel that whilst creating companion pieces to each single, also looks to further expand the meditation of what we talk about when we talk about Love. More

The Latest Rhythm Section International release comes all the way from down under and rest assured it is another BEAUTY! The record oozes jazz, lush orchestral experiments and downbeat, Detroit flavour house spread across 4 tracks of sun soaked productions from Melbourne Newcomer Prequel, who makes his debut on this hotly tipped Peckham Label. More

RS INTL looks to Melbourne and strike gold again with their second outing from Prequel. Freedom Jazz Dance builds on the jazz- tinged debut that was lauded by such varied tastemakers as Gilles Peterson, Osunlade, Recloose, Mister Saturday Night and Ben UFO. The standout track is ‘Saints’ - is a poetic take on blackness that simply can’t be ignored. Another solid Ep for the Rhythm Section camp. Don’t Sleep, these won’t last long!

Founded in 2010 Lumberjacks in Hell has seen many beautiful releases. This 2x12" is an overview of the highpoints of the last 6 years and also featuring three tracks that haven't been released on the label originally but but reflect the label sound in the best possible way. More

This EP is a dedication to the Amsterdam based Alkebulan Project. Philou and Villy are both members of this project, the project brings artists from Africa & African Diaspora together. The Alkebulan Project is on a mission to change the perception of Africa an it's citizens. Nigerian artist Villy and his group "Villy & The Xtreme Volumes" are on a mission to educate Africans with their message calling for a revolution in Africa, politically and socially in all aspects. Philou has a combination of Congolese, Nigerian and Sierra Leonean heritage and it is in these roots that he has built his sound. His passion for the continent of his ancestors is fervent and his projects are challenging commonly held preconceptions about Africa. His goal is to challenge negative stereotypes, by making African cultures more approachable through music. Much love for Rudy Asibey for founding The Alkebulan Project and bringing the artists together and many thanks to Marcel Vogel for giving us the opportunity to tell our story through More

Marcel Vogel has decided to celebrate the first five years of his edit-heavy Lumberjacks In Hell imprint in the only way he knows how: by putting together a sumptuous double-pack stuffed with fresh new material. In keeping with the way the label has developed in recent times, the eight tracks blend the boundaries between original productions, illicit remixes and straight re-edits. There's a celebratory, life-affirming feel throughout, from the rubbery bass, D-Train synths and rolling house grooves of Giovanni Damico's "The Break Down", to the bluesy deep house brilliance of Borrowed Identity's "Queens Bridge". Highlights are plentiful elsewhere, too, from the hustlin' electrofunk-meets-disco of Vogel's own "Come On", to the killer synth solos and fuzzy bits of Tim Jules' thrilling "Slap Beat".
