Comprised of master crate-digger Joel Martin and rising dance-music star Matt Edwards (a man of many monikers including Radio Slave and Rekid), and borrowing their name from Martin Denny's exotica masterpiece, Quiet Village make the old sound new (and vice versa). Influenced by Italian film soundtracks, library music, disco edits, acid rock and vintage soul, they mix the unlikeliest elements - bluesy guitar, chamber strings, air-raid sirens, shuffling breakbeats, even flutes and seagull cries - into an hour-long, beautiful reverie. Often cinematic in feel - their sound is unique and will wash over you in a refreshing embrace. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"!K7","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50448938598731,"sku":"1056859","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/aaa2a0e6-6c82-4f05-ab2e-a952621f00c8_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727097444"},{"product_id":"silent-movie","title":"Silent Movie","description":"\u003cp\u003eafter three sought-after singles for the whatever we want label - plus remixes for the likes of gorillaz, franois k and cosmo vitelli - quiet village step out of the shadows to present their much anticipated debut album, 'silent movie'. comprised of master crate-digger joel martin and rising dance-music star matt edwards (aka radio slave), and borrowing their name from martin denny's exotica masterpiece, quiet village make the old sound new (and vice versa). influenced by italian film soundtracks, library music, disco edits, acid rock and vintage soul, they mix the unlikeliest elements - bluesy guitar, chamber strings, air-raid sirens, shuffling breakbeats, even flutes and seagull cries - into an hour-long, beautiful reverie. sit back, close your eyes and let the images roll.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50451869303115,"sku":"299771","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/724a6308-b4b8-4ee2-8058-f642d2e3498c_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727138803"},{"product_id":"reunion-11","title":"Reunion","description":"\u003cp\u003eQuiet Village announces new label, \u003cem\u003eThe Quiet Village\u003c\/em\u003e, and new single, '\u003cem\u003eReunion\u003c\/em\u003e'. \u003cstrong\u003eMatt 'Radio Slave' Edwards\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eJoel Martin\u003c\/strong\u003e's critically acclaimed project's first official single under the Quiet Village name in seventeen years!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeginning life as a 'heady 6\/8-time urban jazz odyssey, '\u003cem\u003eReunion\u003c\/em\u003e' is a stunning piece of modern, Hi-Tech Jazz that draws influences from \u003cem\u003ePat Metheny\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eTimeline\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eInnerzone Orchestra\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eClyde Stubbelfield\u003c\/em\u003e's drumming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile previous Quiet Village material was hewn from a myriad of samples extracted from Edwards' and Martin's notorious digging, '\u003cem\u003eReunion\u003c\/em\u003e' and its follow-ups are drawn from a tight-knit crew of session musicians, including the likes of \u003cem\u003eJon Hester\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThomas Gandey\u003c\/em\u003e, adding further depth and feel to the QV sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlready a firm favourite with \u003cstrong\u003eGilles Peterson\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eLuke Una\u003c\/strong\u003e, the latter of which leaked a clip of the release via his inimitable Instagram presence and called it 'something so beautiful. \u003cem\u003eTony Allen\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSun Ra\u003c\/em\u003e meets \u003cem\u003eCarl Craig\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eUnderground Resistance\u003c\/em\u003e, house, tech, funk, everything rolled into one'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'\u003cem\u003eReunion'\u003c\/em\u003e is the first single on \u003cem\u003eThe Quiet Village\u003c\/em\u003e, Quiet Village's new imprint.
