MAKIN056 – Fuminori Kagajo & Sheree Hicks ‘No Place Like Home’ (inc. Wipe The Needle Remix)

We’re very excited to welcome two new international friends to the label, producer Fuminori Kagajo from Japan and Sheree Hicks from Chicago.

We’d always admired Fumi’s work for some time and were a big fan of his quality productions. When he got in touch and said he’d done a track with Sheree Hicks we were even more excited! The original version oozes class, tight production and exceptional singer/song writing from Sheree.

Sheree has been on fire this year with a whole host of tracks released on labels such as Honeycomb music, POJI Records and her own label Chic Soul Music and on this release she doesnt disappoint.

The package also features Uk’s Wipe the Needle on remix duties. Lee Gomes aka Wipe The Needle doesnt do many remixes but we felt he could work the song in a different way and boy has he done that and pretty much created a new song!

MAKIN045 – Aisling Iris ‘He Lover’ (includes Crackazat Remix)

Aisling means “dream” or “vision” in Gaelic, It’s also the birth name of this particular Irish song writing vocalist living in London.

Her lyrics and voice have been described as possessing an almost conversational intimacy, with a smooth contralto that she deftly wraps around the melodies, swooping up every so often to a lilting jazzy falsetto.

Aisling has worked with some of the top names in the soul, hip hop and jazz world including Roots Manuva, Domu. More recently she has worked with the likes of Phil Asher and the Urban Soul Lab.

Hey Lover was a track she wrote and recorded some years ago with one of the original Bugz in the Attic producers Afronaut, one of the original broken beat pioneers. This is a match made in heaven, Orin working his technically wicked drums and Aisling’s sexy haunting vocals tempting you over the top, works like butter on toast. The vocal twists you up and get you salivating for more.. We can certainly see this this one being played on dance floors all around Europe from Croatia to Ibiza.

The package comes with a hot dubby Crackzat remix, which cleverly uses the chorus loop to the max with deep keys and punch to get the floor moving straight away,

Currently she is recording her debut album at the Lab Studios in Clapham with Drew set for release in 2016. For those not in the know Drew is the producer and musician behind Incognito’s Natalie Williams and Mercury nominee and UK hip hop godfather Ty’s prolific output to date.

It looks like 2016 is set to be an exciting year for Aisling with a debut album on the horizon and the right team around her. One thing’s for sure you don’t want to miss sampling a taste when the album’s released.
