Tru Thoughts proudly present ‘Shapes: Collide’, the latest addition
to the label’s series of essential compilations curated by A&R, label
founder and co-owner, DJ – Robert Luis. After 24 years of independently
releasing music, the ‘Shapes’ LPs celebrate the best of our
wide-ranging and international roster, with established acts on the label, such
Japanese MPC-wizard Anchorsong, Grammy-nominated LA-trio Moonchild and the
imagined orchestra of Joe Acheson, Hidden Orchestra, sitting alongside newer
signings, including London-based singer/songwriter Steven Bamidele, the new
alias from Irish producer Cian McCann (Zero T) aka Bruk Rogers and the dynamic
producer, keyboard duo Born47 & Onj. The 36-track digital album includes fresh
releases, classic catalogue pieces and imaginative remixes from influential
names across many different scenes, like Seoul-duo Salamanda, Gilles
Peterson’s STR4TA, Ashley Beedle’s North Street West trio, pioneer
of the broken beat movement IG Culture, and many more. “I always enjoy
putting our yearly Shapes compilations together, as it allows me some time to
look at the music direction of Tru Thoughts currently and going forward. The
label has always embraced an eclectic and open-minded music policy, and this
Shapes’ reflects that very well. With new artists making their initial
music journeys with us alongside the more established artists of the roster but
all of them connected by pushing themselves as artists and being creative within
their own genres.” Robert Luis ‘Shapes: Collide’ is a
milestone compilation for the label’s output, celebrating the talents of
the intercontinental musical community that makes Tru Thoughts the diverse,
creative and independent powerhouse it is, with music spanning the globe from
the UK, US, Israel, Japan, France, Belgium, Switzerland, South Korea, Taiwan,
Australia, and beyond. Eclecticism is at the album’s core, and the
tracklist is an honest reflection of this, with the compilation programmed in
two parts, creating moving connections between music for the dancefloor and for
chilling at home. ‘Shapes: Collide’ pedestals debut albums from
newcomers on the label – Nottingham-based soul-sister duo
MELONYX’s ‘Soul Glow’; Bristol-based producer, artist,
songwriter Slowe’s ‘Where The Mind Wanders’ and
Brussels-based producer, multi-instrumentalist and DJ Kuna Maze, on his concept
record ‘Night Shift’. While the comp also champions stalwarts on
the roster; broken beat renaissance man WheelUP, Glaswegian creative polymath
Rebecca Vasmant, and underground master-of-all trades Sly5thAve. The artwork for
the compilation is created by graphic designer James Mayall, creative director
of Bexhill-based, Studio Mayall, who encapsulates and plays on the release
title. Robert Luis is the founder, co-owner and A&R for Tru Thoughts record
label, he hosts a weekly radio show called Unfold and his DJ style covers a wide
range of music from beats, jazz, jungle, grime, funk, bass, south asian grooves,
tropical, hip hop, uk garage, reggae, soul to drum and bass. This eclectic style
has resulted in him DJ'ing across the world, everywhere from underground clubs
in Moscow, USA, Europe, Australia and across the UK to MTV Party's in Cannes, We
Out Here, Love Supreme, Bestival, Montreux, SXSW, The Big Chill, V Festival and
a whole host of festivals across Europe.
