New Noise… Azekel

Something exciting and innovative in the shape of East London singer/rapper, Azekel. Pushing boundaries in the realm of Dub and Pop, here’s why you should check him out.

Azekel

A self taught musician, Azekel has taken a more original approach in his delivery. Certainly not your bog standard “grab a couple of beats and slap some bass on it” kind of guy, no Azekel is someone who propels himself forward and knows no boundaries. At just 21, he seems to have a fountain of knowledge when it comes to Soul, Hip Hop and RnB. With complex beats and creative genre fusing melodies, combine that with deep tones and imaginative rhymes, you are close as to how defining Azekel is.

A perfect introduction to the man himself is his one and only release that is out, his single ‘New-Ish’. This is exactly what I have been talking about, the man knows how to deliver and you can see the video here….

You can also download ‘New-Ish’ too on Azekel’s bandcamp page, for FREE! So if you like what you hear support him.

Also if you are in the area, 21st July, see’s a live performance from Azekel at the legendary YoYo’s night at Notting Hill Arts Club, so make sure you come down!

New Noise… The Son(s)

Eerie and enigmatic, The Son(s) are sublime and capture the imagination. Not much is giving away about their background but I have been told this….

The Son(s) were three men in a band, in Edinburgh.
One Son went to London, and made his fortune in the movies.
Another Son went to Oxford and lives in a small commune there.
The last Son eventually went back to the North East of Scotland and wrote and recorded these songs.”

Still interested? Thought so.

The Son(s)

Its the last ‘Son’ that creates this captivating and harmonious sound. Doused in dark and emotional twists of fate, with its devastating and beautiful nature that grabs you before you can even question what is happening. Moments of Americana folk which is reminiscent of Grizzly Bear and Iron and Wine. Take one look at their new single “Radar” to have a better idea what I am talking about…..

Not one for the feint hearted but visually stunning you have to agree. ‘Radar’ is available to download from the 17th January and their debut album is in the process of being finished. To find out more about the band, if you can, check out their MySpace and Soundcloud pages.
