Description

[Machine Translation] Manchester-based producer Mecca:83's long-awaited new album is now available on vinyl. The 12 tracks are a dramatic, deep hip-hop journey that embraces his roots in jazz, soul, and golden era boom-bap, but with a contemporary feel. The first cut, "Don't Stop," features Detroit heavyweights Phat Kat & Guilty Simpson dropping a mighty verse, while UK turntablist Jabba Tha Kut's sharp scratching adds an extra intensity to the track. The boombop style sound reminiscent of the golden age of the 90s is one that gives the song a thick core, which can be said to be Mecca:83's starting point. The album also includes "Elevation," a futuristic jazz hip-hop track featuring jazz keyboardist Jonny Tobin; "Proof of Life," featuring New York poetic lyricist Nardo Says; and "Sober," a mellow soul track with Ella Mae Sueref, whose delicate voice is deeply moving. The mellow soul of "Sober" with New York lyricist Nardo Says, and "Midnight Run" with Lex (de Kalhex), a member of the French group Kalhex, add color to each track. Produced, mixed, and arranged by Mecca:83, the album is filled with detailed craftsmanship and warmth. Live elements such as Luman Child's bass ("Silent Arrival"), Donald Malloy's trumpet ("Sober"), and Markita on Flute's flute ("The Light Inside") are also incorporated throughout the album to create a deep groove. The artwork is a graphic novel-like work of art. The artwork was drawn by Joel van der Knaap ( Roam Comics ), who is known for his graphic novel aesthetic. The label is rockwell product shop, which also released the 7-inch "Let's Get It" featuring InI member Grap Luva and "Life Sketches Vol. 3" featuring the same song in 2017. The album has a profound sound image that resonates even with analog listeners, and melodies and words that quietly shake the heart. At the intersection of hip-hop and jazz, Mecca:83 has created a soundtrack for the future.

Description in Japanese

アンティル・ドーン / メッカ:83

マンチェスターを拠点に活動するプロデューサー・Mecca:83が放つ、待望のニューアルバムがレコードで登場。自身のルーツであるジャズ、ソウル、そして黄金期ブーンバップを内包しながら、現代的な質感とともに描かれる全12曲は、ドラマチックで、ディープなヒップホップの旅を提示してくれる。先行カットの「Don't Stop」では、デトロイトの重鎮Phat Kat & Guilty Simpsonが強靭なバースを投下し、UKターンテーブリストJabba Tha Kutの鋭いスクラッチが楽曲にさらなる強度を与える。90年代黄金期を彷彿とさせるブーンバップスタイルのサウンドは、Mecca:83の原点とも言える芯の太さを感じさせる1曲。そのほか、ジャズ鍵盤奏者Jonny Tobinを迎えたフューチャリスティックなジャズ・ヒップホップ「Elevation」、ニューヨークの詩的リリシスト Nardo Saysが参加した「Proof of Life」、繊細な歌声が沁みるElla Mae Suerefとのメロウソウル「Sober」、さらにフランスのグループKalhexの一員として知られるLex (de Kalhex)を迎えた「Midnight Run」など、多彩なゲスト陣が各曲に色彩を添えている。プロデュース、ミックス、アレンジのすべてをMecca:83が手がけ、細部にまで宿るクラフトマンシップと温もりのある質感が全体を包み込む。また、Luman Childのベース (「Silent Arrival」)、Donald Malloyのトランペット (「Sober」)、Markita on Fluteのフルート (「The Light Inside」)など、生演奏の要素も随所に取り入れられ、深みあるグルーヴを生み出している。アートワークは、グラフィックノベル的な美学で注目を集めるJoel van der Knaap (Roam Comics)による描き下ろし。さらにレーベルは2017年にもInIのメンバーでもあるGrap Luvaをフィーチャーした「Let's Get It」の7インチや同曲が収録された「Life Sketches Vol.3」のリリースなども行なっているrockwell product shopが担当。アナログリスナーにも響く重厚な音像と、心を静かに震わせるメロディ、言葉。ヒップホップとジャズの交差点で、Mecca:83が描く未来のサウンドトラックがここに完成した。
