After Telemakus was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome several years ago, the producer, composer, and self-taught pianist realized he’d never again make music with his hands as he once knew them. A condition that causes severe finger hyper-extension, Telemakus was directed to wear eight silver rings around his finger joints at all times. As his connection and control of instruments slipped away, his rings became conduits and restored paths to self-expression. It was a shift that forced a new approach: composing by feet, by voice, by memory, by directing others to play what he could hear but could no longer physically reach.

Eight Ring Revival is a diary for the 26-year-old Indian-American artist, brought to life through alchemy and the community around him.   Featuring contributions from Karriem Riggins, Liv.e, Miguel Atwood Ferguson, Sparklmami, bigboihums, Flying Lotus, and more, Eight Ring Revival is out now on DSPs and at select record stores on Good Problem Studios

British-Bahraini trumpeter and composer releases her new EP, 'Shinrin-Yoku', on . Named after the Japanese practice of forest bathing, Shinrin-Yoku is a four-track meditation on the healing power of the natural world.

"The world is hurting. Forever wars. Feelings of hopelessness. These are the thoughts that have compelled me to release this music,” Ahmed says. “In these troubled times I’m hoping to bring a little inner peace and to encourage reconnection with the sacred landscapes we all share on this planet.”

‘Forest Bathing 森林浴’ is a meditative piece, an improvisation reflecting on my reconnection with nature and named after the Japanese tradition of shinrin-yoku. Spending time in the forests close to where I live, I have been able to calm my mind, take a long deep breath, pause, and drink in the beauty that nature gifts to us. I hope that this music will transport you to a place of relaxation and inner peace.

Commodo & Rocks FOE release double single ‘Uninvited / Chokehold’ via Black Acre

Following up on the impact of his huge collaboration with Alfa Mist, Commodo returns with longtime collaborator Rocks FOE. Rocks has long been a cult figure among rap fans delivering a stunning discography through shadowy means. The perfect pairing. Here Commodo’s trademarked Lynchian tones are explored by FOE’s deft and atmospheric, polysyllabic rhyme schemes on ‘Chokehold’ and straight up monolithic vocal delivery on ‘Uninvited’.

JSPHYNX releases 'Cash 4 Gold' feat. Anuraag Dhoundeyal.

The single is the first release from his upcoming EP ‘Hold On’, out on Sekito Records on 3 July. Pre-Order via the link in bio.

On "Cash 4 Gold," JSPHYNX (Alfa Mist, Corto Alto, Tom Misch) links up with Mumbai-based singer, composer and producer Anuraag Dhoundeyal for a track that sits deliberately inside a lineage it loves — the long conversation between Indian classical music and UK jungle, and the diasporic identity carried in those samples across three decades of British club music.

British-Bahraini trumpeter and composer announces her new EP, 'Shinrin-Yoku', arriving 29 May on limited edition vinyl and DSPs on . Named after the Japanese practice of forest bathing, 'Shinrin-Yoku' is a four-track meditation on the healing power of the natural world.

"The world is hurting. Forever wars. Feelings of hopelessness. These are the thoughts that have compelled me to release this music,” Ahmed says. “In these troubled times I’m hoping to bring a little inner peace and to encourage reconnection with the sacred landscapes we all share on this planet.”

Lead single 'Dawn Patrol' is released today. Says Ahmed: "This track was commissioned by Adult Swim who sent me a mood board for inspiration. Meditating on these images I found myself thinking about the sea, waves, diving, and surfing, which later inspired the title Dawn Patrol. Surfers use this phrase to mean an early morning trip to go surfing at dawn, as the sea is awakening, yawning."
