This album is based entirely around the music of ST Mikael, an incredible Swedish psych-rock artist who has been recording weird and wonderful records since the 1990s.

Mikael’s music is heavy on Eastern influences and otherworldly concerns, and ranges from searing electric guitar-led dirges to dreamlike ballads to ghostly atmospheric experiments. Sometimes all within the same song.

Paul White has reimagined and remoulded Mikael’s sounds, and added his own, to make an intriguing and mesmerising album that sounds unlike anyone else but him. It’s recognisably hip hop (just check ‘Marshen Signals’) but it’s psychedelic, spontaneous and free in a way that seems far from most definitions of the genre today. A fascinating album from a fascinating producer.

Fellow bass blogger, I.D. , hollered this week to advise on an album project that him and Baobinga have been working on recently.

I had been following their ‘Diary Of A Free Album‘ updates for the last few weeks, the idea is part of “an exploration into how far blogs and such can propel independent artists”. The album is due to be released, via the blog, on Monday 1st of March. It features a wide range of styles and bpms, from the deeper melodic vibe on ‘Red Dust’ through to the straight up bashyness on ‘Man Down’.

It’s already garnered support from the likes of Claude Von Stroke, Buraka Som Sistema, TRG, Untold, LVis1990 and a whole lot more. If you’ve been a fan of the first two releases on ‘Build’ then I would highly recommend checking out the album on Monday!

In the meantime they’ve kindly allowed us to give away one track for free, link below;

I.D. & Baobinga – Red Dust (right click save target as)

To get you in the mood I.D. has also just dropped this mix for ‘thisisbreaks.com’, “incorporating loads of funky, 2-step, ragga, dubstep and everything else that’s got funk and interesting beats.”
