AHU To Love

Long tipped as a vocalist to watch, Ahu steps softly from the shadows of her lauded guest appearances to deliver To:Love. It’s a captivating performance from the Turkish singer whose unique style might be found somewhere between traditional soul and the studied remove of the likes of Broadcast’s Trish Keenan. If there’s poignancy in her delivery, there is hope in the lyrics: it’s a song about the calm and freedom felt by lovers after they split. Her long-time friend and musical ally Paul White provides the subtle, ever-shifting backdrop, a nuanced electronic counterpoint to the more organic psychedelia of his recent …and the Purple Brain LP. Things take a dramatic turn on the b-side as Dimlite focuses on the tumult that precedes the post-break up relief, letting harpsichord fly into ravaged drum breaks and squalling synths before slamming the door for the very last time. It’s undeniably odd, utterly fascinating, and further evidence that this Swiss wunderkind is a very special talent.

You can see the brand new video after the jump. Below we streamed the Dimlite Remix, plus you get the original track produced by Paul White for FREE. Thanks to One Handed Music.

A while back I got my hands on the new Grooveman Spot album and one of the first tracks that caught my attention was “Affection” featuring Ahu. She was so kind to inform me that the “Change Situations” single had just gone online for sale. Check out the flipside with my man Erik Rico, cuz he makes it funky! The full album is going to drop in a few on Planetgroove. Get that digital dope via grooveman Spot - Change Situations

To prepare you for the full EP released on March 16th check out the excellent Can We Call It Love featuring the heavy soul of Istanbul’s Ahu (Dolly). Sound Species was formed by brothers Henry and Olly Keen, who where drawn to creating sounds and melodies at an early age, fast forward a few years and various journeys through dj culture, electronic music, Herbie Hancocks back catalogue and a slew of other talented musicians and the Sound Species band was born.

In 2003 Henry was introduced to the infamous CDR night, run by Tony Nwachukwu and Gavin Alexander. This gave the group a valuable platform to develop their sound and forged a relationship between the group and the CDR/Burnt Progress label.

You can catch the group playing live at the Tate Modern on March 6th alongside Dorian Concept. Full EP available to supporters….  the album follows on April 13th. Cop Dorian’s “When Planets Explode” HERE.
