When French producer dÉbruit relocated to London, it was just the start of a journey that would take him much further east than Hackney. dEbruit explains; “I lived in a Turkish neighbourhood in London and my productions are always a result of curiosity over the sounds and people around me. I wanted to learn more and try something with Turkish music and instruments so I travelled to Turkey in October, and I’m so glad I did.”

And so his “Şiş Sürpriz” EP was born (which translates as Skewer Surprise). Traditional Turkish folk instruments are coupled with modern, synthetic sounds on an EP that’s full of eastern promise. Currently dÉbruit is crafting a debut album based around trips to West Africa and recordings with the region’s indigenous musicians and traditional instruments. In the meanwhile you can purchase this EP which dropped today HERE!

For over a decade the Red Bull Music Academy has given young, upcoming artists a place to develop themselves. Not only do they learn, but a very important part of the RBMA is creating and exposing! What better way to do this than to record a compilation album together with fellow participants as well as more established musicians and sometimes even legends.

Under the name ‘Various Assets’ this has been done several times. These CD’s were never released to the general public and contain unreleased material as well as music that has been released like Flying Lotus his “Tea Leaf Dancers” featuring Andreya Triana. These compilation CD’s were recorded all over the world from Melbourne to Seattle and from Toronto to Barcelona.

We from Moovmnt had never actually heard all of this material and thought it would be a good idea to select our favourites and release it as a mix. Some music you might have heard on our website already, but I can assure you that some of this material has been waiting, hidden in the dust, to come out of your speakers and give you a taste of the wonderful things that are going on at the Red Bull Music Academy.

We tried to keep the mix close to our personal taste and yet it contains a divers array of different kinds of music. Enjoy some tasteful hip hop, nu-soul, future funk, soulful house, electronic music with a dash of dubstep to go out with a bang. Now we’re off to London to soak up some of that RBMA energy, so enjoy this one. We’ll be keeping you updated about what goes on behind the scenes at the Academy, so tune in for some exclusive footage, music, etc.

After the “Coupé Décalé” LP, Débruit finally hits us with a successor - “Cle Le Bras” – full of dope melody chops, accelerator grooves and savage synths. Daedelus delivers an extra remix for “Pouls”, but for us the nicest two joints are “Echtah” and “Look 22″. Also be sure to give “Gros” a listen, but it takes some time to get into that one and while your at it check out “I’m Goin’ Wit’ You” with Om’Mas Keith and Jamie Woon here. Visit our friends at Rushhour to buy the EP or get it at iTunes!

As the Various Assets 2008 compilation is already on the way to a record store near you, Parisien master of not-noise Débruit comes with a beat that sounds like fingers running up and down the spine – the perfect foil for soul freak numero uno Om’Mas (SA-RA Creative Partners) and balladeer boy wonder Jamie Woon to bust a sweat over. Musique large, indeed! Source: RBMA
