Inspired by their collaboration and amazing feedback from the Iron Sky fans, Kaiti Kink Ensemble decided to develop their music into a full scale album release. During 2011 Naskali and Siirtola started composing, recording and producing the album in their recording studio in Tampere and partially in an old countryside mansion, where cows were grazing on the backyard. During that year it became clear that the band didn't want to limit themselves into a specific predetermined genre. Instead the group wanted to fully explore different emotions and soundscapes in their first big release. As a result, their debut album Under the Iron Sky is nothing less than an outstanding collection of dynamic and fresh-sounding tracks.

The tape heads of the Jahtari echo machines have been finetuned, the reverb modules are
rewired, the bass implant is set to maximum blast and now the third episode of our ongoing
series called "Jahtarian Dubbers" is ready to rock your walkman for a long time to come.

Mikey Murka went up to the dancehall again, John Frum is back with a hauntingly beautiful dub,
Soom T is in top shape on one of his other riddims, Maffi team up with Ranking Levy from MyLord
Sound while the Jahtari Riddim Force is on the loose, El Fata rinses Tapes' smashing "Gold Love
Riddim", disrupt dug out a forgotten treasure from the vault and Rootah runs his tube delays
into the red zone.

Wearing the black belt for beatmaking and new in the Jahtari camp is Monkey Marc (who
supplied a wicked instrumental to the last Roots Manuva album). Our favourite sound system
champions Mungo's Hifi are about to blow your speakers alongside veteran Jim Nastics, plus
there's a very special Rootah version of a Dub Syndicate / Adrian Sherwood classic - with Lee
Perry (!) on the mic, lazergun in hand, straightjacket and all. So better pack enough supplies
for an interstellar trip - this one might take a while.


Tracklist :
01  Mikey Murka - Sweeter
02  John Frum - Healing Dub
03  Soom T - Bullets Will Bounce
04  Monkey Marc - Rudebwoy Dub
05  Ranking Levy - Mad Man Style
06  Lee Perry & Dub Syndicate - Secret Laboratoy (Rootah version)
07  Jahtari Riddim Force - One Armed Swordsman

Tranquil Hip Hop Instrumentalists Herajika Tracks create a Rare Album of beats consisting of carefully placed samples and well constructed, thought out song structures. Calm and precise- gently sculpted out of Beautiful, complex piano pieces (Which  one the members Koki plays live, rather than being sampled) complemented with Heavy drums, Flutes, strings, and  Soul crooning Vocals. Instead of dwelling within  the City boundaries like most Hip-Hop, There’s a distinct Sense of Nature on this album- on any given (Herajika) track you can hear a bubbling stream or a wind brushing Chimes into motion and a bird call echoing in the background. Like walking through a lush, secluded Forest, Love Universal wraps around you warmly with their peaceful Methods and approach to Zen-like Hip Hop.

Mayer Hawthorne, Robin McKelle : deux façons de s’inviter dans

les grandes traditions soul,

avec respect des canons ou malice.

Pour avoir décollé dans l’entourage des Herbie Hancock et Wayne Shorter, la voix expressive de Robin McKelle a vite inspiré des comparaisons flatteuses. On la jaugea à l’aune d’une Ella Fitzgerald, d’une Sarah Vaughan et c’était déjà beaucoup à assumer pour cette petite New-Yorkaise blanche sans pedigree. Avec Soul Flower, la voilà qui se glisse dans un autre sillon, celui tracé par Aretha Franklin, avec la même réussite.

Si ce quatrième album semble réciter par coeur toute la syntaxe de la soul de l’écurie Atlantic – celle des années Tom Dowd où chaleur rimait avec efficacité –, elle évite aussi tous les pièges du remake tiroir-caisse à la Seal ou l’exercice de style scolaire façon Ben l’Oncle Soul.

Compositions inédites, dans l’esprit, mais jamais soumises à la lettre, reprises de standards qu’elle personnalise (dont un Walk on by au pas de charge), Robin se révèle excellente cuisinière, faisant usage d’anciennes recettes de fabrication pour mieux y injecter une certaine dose d’intelligence et de passion contemporaine.

Mayer Hawthorne serait plutôt, quant à lui, une sorte de fashion vampire. Originaire de Detroit, il a débuté comme rappeur sous le pseudo d’Haircut avant de se replonger dans ce qui a forgé l’identité musicale de sa ville, le son Tamla Motown. Sur How Do You Do?, il cherche souvent à recréer l’esthétique du prestigieux label de Marvin Gaye et des Supremes, sans oublier l’essentiel : en retirer du plaisir.

Ce second album ressemble à ces ateliers de couture où de jeunes stylistes inventent des modèles en s’inspirant des collections du passé. Avec parfois des patchworks amusants quand il coud du Smokey Robinson sur du Stevie Wonder (Finally Falling) ou épingle du Supremes avec du Spinners (Hooked). Gentil vampire, Hawthorne séduit par sa fraîcheur à défaut de convaincre par son originalité.

Au milieu des années 80, le critique américain Nelson George avait inventé une étiquette pour un courant musical auquel Robin McKelle et Mayer Hawthorne peuvent se rattacher. Il appelait ça le “retronuevo”. On connaît la valeur des étiquettes et leur tendance à valser. Mais c’est toujours mieux que “solde”.
