4 years after their groundbreaking debut album “Happily Confused”, Ghost In The Tapes return with a new full-length, “Holidays on Earth”.

This new LP sonically expands multilingual hip-hop and rap towards spiritual jazz and uplifting electronica.

After two EPs with his punk-jazz duo La Récré, a recent solo album on Born Bad Records and two soundtracks for Monia Chokri films "Babysitter" and "Simple Comme Sylvain", Forever Pavot is everywhere yet never where you expect him to be. He now returns to BMM with a new rap album titled "Forever XP".

On the other side of the globe, LA-based rapper and street activist XP The Marxman received a beat with a nice sample from one of his producers. XP traced the sample back to Forever Pavot, and decided to reach out to him to collaborate.

That's how the atypical Forever XP album was born. Pavot's first time working with a rapper was also XP's first time working with a composer, yet they managed to blend both their universes in such a flawless way that it's like they were meant to create music together.

It is during the 2018 harvest of a winery near Bordeaux that Italian producer and multi-instrumentalist Fabio Bordignon decided to create his project Allez Kiki, an affectionate nickname given by his colleagues. 3 singles followed, produced behind Fabio's computer until he took out his double bass and gathered a drummer, a keyboardist and a vibraphonist to create his backing band Fermentation.
Their first album is titled Gusto di Luce (taste of light) and refers to the taste wine takes when left too long in the sun. It contains 8 neat and electrifying jazz-funk instrumentals as tasteful as a glass of good wine in the summertime.

Under the name Matsutake, saxophonist Côme Rothé and producer Jérémy Vieille (2/3 of Zerolex Trio) collaborate with French ethnologists and the Echo System concert hall to create a book-record around the theme "Making materials sing".

For the second chapter of his odyssey, we find again Le Commandant Couche Tôt in the
middle of the Amazon River, escaping from drones and wildfires in a hovercraft.
Une Histoire d’Amour Brésilienne (A brazilian love story) shares a dystopian vision
widely inspired by the environmental issues of 2020 and 2021, which illustrates a form of
anxiety toward the future.
Its soundtrack however is purposely the antithesis of the story: a very optimistic tribute to
space-disco and brazilian funk. A “good vibe” pill to give hope for a new beginning.

TRACKLIST:
A1. Amazonas / Ivre de la Jungle
A2. L'Été Indien (feat. Omar)
A3. Les Pyramides Cosmiques (feat. Youka Manuka)
A4. Le Pain de Sucre (feat. Youka Manuka)
B1. Le Pain de Sucre (Paul Cut Remix)
B2. Amazonas / Ivre de la Jungle (Max Graef Remix)
B3. Amazonas / Ivre de la Jungle (Fouk's Black River Odyssey)
B4. L'Été Indien (Souleance " Braziu-Funk" Remix)
