More than a remix, 'New Levels' is a new composition that takes 'Chartreuse' into the world of contemporary hip-hop and rap.\n\n \n\nLorenzo Nada, aka Koralle, is a musician, beatmaker and producer from Bologna, Italy. Nada is best known for his project Godblesscomputers, which kicked off a couple of years ago while he was living in Berlin. After releasing four albums\/EPs and touring Europe with a four-piece band, Nada is heading into a new direction as Koralle. Firmly rooted in hip-hop, Koralle is taking his jazz crates and field recordings to the studio. Equipped with an array of synths, Rhodes and bass, he creates deeply textured tracks that touch mind, body and soul. \"Each beat is like an object found at the bottom of the sea,\" says Koralle to describe his music. And adds: \"The samples emerge from the depths of my record collection and find a new meaning, transformed, like corals from the bottom of the ocean.\"\n\n \n\nRapping on Koralle's beat is Detroit artist Illa J. Raised in a musical family (his father played piano, his mother sang, and his older brother is the late hip-hop producer J Dilla), he grew up surrounded by jazz, gospel and soul, before building a name for himself as a rapper with a distinctive flow and timbre, but also as a singer and songwriter. Illa J has said of his approach to lyric writing that \"the melody comes first, then I bring the words in, even when I'm rapping, you know rhythmically. I'm a singer, so melody comes first, but in terms of the subject matter, the music tells you.\"\n\n \n\nThe Modern Sound Quartet was an ensemble led by Milanese pianist and composer Oscar Rocchi. It included Rocchi on keys, Andrea Surdi on drums, Ernesto Verardi on guitars, and Luigi Cappellotto on bass. 'Chartreuse' (written by Cappellotto) comes from their 1976 library LP Cocktail Bar – a collection of jazz-funk\/jazz-rock\/fusion tunes, each named after a famous spirit. While little known to the general public, Cocktail Bar is highly sought after by diggers, DJs and beatmakers.\n\n \n\n'New Levels \/ Chartreuse' is the fifth release in the RELOVED series, following Jolly Mare's retouch of Piero Umiliani's 'Discomania' (12\"), Free The Robots' rework Gianni Safred's 'Autumn 2001' (7\"), Dengue Dengue Dengue's remix of Giuliano Sorgini's 'Oasi Nella Giungla' (7\"), and Fratelli Malibu's reversioning of Alessandro Alessandroni's 'Tema di Susie' (12\"). The 7\" releases are co-curated by fellow independent label Little Beat More.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Four Flies","offers":[{"title":"7\" - 2173688","offer_id":50398945837387,"sku":"2173688","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_b6199279_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726499944"},{"product_id":"bassona-2","title":"Bassona","description":"\u003cp\u003eCollabo album by Koralle with seasoned jazz \u0026amp; world musician Francesco Giampaoli, complete with new interpretations from Koralle's peers Twit One, The Offline, Slim, Mr.Käfer, Midan, Opek, and Darius Heid!\nSummer of 2023: Koralle wants to escape the heat of Bologna for a few weeks.
