The regular cohorts will share a split 7” ahead of new albums on the label from both artists.
Tako Reyenga and Jonny Nash are back together for a new Sombrero Galaxy record due on Second Circle.
For much of his career under the Suzanne Kraft alias, Diego Herrera has delivered delightfully warm, loose and baggy fare. Roughly 50 percent of this has been lightly aimed at sticky, humid dancefloors – see the boogie-sampling, Balearic house loveliness of the Running Back released Green Flash EP, or the eyes-closed bliss of Horoscope on Young Adults – with the rest being concerned with the horizontal desires of post-club listening. This was how the Los Angeles based producer began, after all – see the 2010 mini-album Missum, which was deservedly reissued last year by Running Back, or the more experimental, new age inclined Tracks For Performance 12” – and in some ways it remains his strongest suit.
Diego Herrera’s alter-ego delivers a serene seven tracker as the third release on Jonny Nash’s Melody As Truth label.
As the recent Gaussian Curve album proved, Jonny Nash seems to look at music making as a communal experience. He’s perhaps most famous as one half of ESP Institute regulars Land of Light, whose eponymous 2012 debut album took densely layered, tape loop heavy ambience to new levels of rush-inducing beauty. Aside from this, he’s also had spells in a variety of short-lived bands and one-off projects, from ESP eccentrics Sombrero Galaxy and Crue-L nu-disco combo Disco Session, to Thomas Bullock’s alcohol themed Spirit Bear Mezcal Ensemble.
Gigi Masin, Jonny Nash and Marco Sterk speak with Matt Anniss about the weekend-long recording session that resulted in the sublime Gaussian Curve album Clouds.
Get a taste for the forthcoming project from Gigi Masin, Marco Sterk and Jonny Nash due on Music From Memory.
The new label will primarily act as an outlet for the London-based musician’s own material.
