Review: A most intrepid selection for the next instalment of the Late Night Tales series come from an equally beguiling soundtrack by multi-instrumentalist Jordan Rakei. Known for lending his vocals to the music of Disclosure to releasing with Blue Note and on Ninja Tune, the New Zealand born artist introduces himself to Late Night Tales with something neoclassical. Taking on folk, jazz & free jazz to spoken word, warm instrumentals and ambient dualities, the spaces between are filled with percussive electronics, solo acoustic numbers and walls of instrumental noise, culminating in two exclusives; Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's poetic closer, "Imagination", and Jordan Rakei's very own cover of Jeff Buckley's "Lover, You Should've Come Over".
Review: Cubicolor is a new project by the members of Dutch progressive house act 16 Bit Lolitas, presenting their latest release on Above & Beyond's allays reliable Anjunadeep imprint. "Fictionalise" is emotive and drifting deep house with a strong arpeggio, spangling synth leads and soothing pads complimented by some charming male vocals that will potentially appeal to DJs as diverse as Lee Burridge or Jimpster. The remix up next by Norweigan nu-disco dons Lindstrom and Prins Thomas injects more of a lo-slung swagger into it, which is simply irresistible over its almost ten minutes' duration.
