Pierre Henry Michel Colombier
Les Jerks Électroniques De La Messe Pour Le Temps Présent Et Musiques Concrètes Pour Maurice Béjart

First release on Melbourne drum and bass label Plasma Audio.

2018 release. Equal parts jazz club, dance party and live remix experiment, Church is a musical journey of no boundaries and endless surprises. Globetrotting musician/producer Mark de Clive-Lowe leads live sets interpolating jazz, improv, organics, technology, beats and dancefloor electronica into a melting pot of sounds and styles unlike any other. Joined by a stellar cast of musicians, vocalists, DJs and spontaneous guests from LA and beyond, each and every show is a totally unique and individual musiclover's experience. Church is MdCL's resident clubnite in Los Angeles and New York. Blending the jazz tradition with forward thinking hip hop, breaks, bass and club music, Church is MdCL's vehicle to share his musical vision with musician and audiences worldwide. With a constantly rotating cast of resident and guest musicians and vocalists, Church represents the new school jazz movement - paying homage to the past while asserting itself forward in step with global club and beat culture.

Theo Parrish conducts a live take on his ‘First Floor’ album classic from Myele Manzanza (drums), Mark de Clive-Lowe (piano, keyboards, electronics), and Scott Maynard (double bass)Guided by a sketch of the original ‘Love is War For Miles’, and the following notes - 1) start with unrecognised fragments 2) find our way into the rhythm 3) hit the melody four times 4) deliberately break everything and look for the unknown 5) find our way back home - the trio properly cut loose for ‘floors that like to be challenged, while Theo contributes an extra jazzy splash.

The Swedish duo's mini-album touches upon a variety of moods, tones, beats and grooves that eschew genre and definition - seamlessly blending acid disco, thumping techno, rock, dub, acoustic instrumentation and more.“The album is deeply rooted in a feeling of liminality,” say Mount Liberation Unlimited duo Tom and Niklas. “It’s music stuck in the liminal space between beach parties and worldwide isolation. A feeling of having your physical body in one place, with your mind still left on dancefloors on the other side of the now inaccessible world.”A sense of duality has always been key to the Swedes' work. Since their first release in 2014, with work released on labels such as Tim Sweeney's Beats in Space, and fellow Stockholmers Studio Barnhus, they have married a very physical rhythmic presence with their distinct take on electronic music that has also touched upon soul, jazz and disco. This exploration of organic dance music is, the pair say, “that sweet-spot interaction of human rhythm and electronic pulse.”Welcome to the Jungle is no different in its quest to marry a deeply rhythmic essence with hypnotic and pulsating electronics, although it explores more beat-heavy terrain this time around. The opening “🤘(Heavy Metal Emoji)” sets the tone for an album that is rich in texture, where acoustic instruments brush up against propulsive beats, atmospheric ambience and grooves that swing from dance-floor ready to immersive headphone escapes. “It’s dancefloor music for a world without dancefloors,” say the pair of its creation at the peak of lockdown.
