Micah Heathwood, is a producer, composer and instrumentalist based in Ngunnawal/Ngambri region, Canberra, Australia.Bottle is his new double single (+ bonus track) that was originally written as only the first of the two songs. The first song was originally written with a heavy emphasis on uptempo electronic/ breaks and live jazz. Originally its sound was very band heavy and sat in the realm of modern jazz that is coming out of places such as Melbourne and London.It was changed after its first studio recording. Micah practically remixed the recording, changed the arrangement, and added much more production, making it more IDM centred and thus different from its original live takes. Subsequently the live performance of the track changed as well.Bottle 2 was an add on in the journey of production. Micah felt it was an appropriate reflection on how he also wanted the track to feel, even though the initial track had a much faster and heavier sound to it.This release also offers a bonus track of the first live recording of Bottle, which was performed at Sideway in Canberra in 2021. This live recording shows the original jazz centred origins of the track, and also gives a picture of how the track has changed overtime.Micah is excited to release these three tracks as a precursor to his debut EP which will arrive later in 2024. The bonus track will only be available on purchase of digital album or CD. credits

Elite Beat is a musical collective from Portland, Oregon with a history spanning back to 2006.'Selected Rhythms' captures the finest moments from all three of their ultra limited cassette series 'Casual Rhythms'.Packed full of DIY dub mixing, cosmic orchestration and raw, percussion driven polyrhythms, the recordings have been remastered and put to vinyl for the first time with sections from Casual Rhythms Vol. 1 being re-shaped into previously unavailable single tracks.Recording plays a big role in the Elite Beat creative process. The studio as an instrument. Much of the Elite Beat music is mixed in an all-hands-on-deck dub style approach - live with an analog mixer and loads of FX being thrown and dubbed in real time. The sound is genre-less rhythm music with an emphasis on live playing, free form expression and technique that borrows from soundsystem culture. Inspiration can be heard from all parts of time and place. Some Ethio Jazz, Black Ark psychedelia, Exotica, Malian blues, even Haight-Ashbury in the summer of love. Each member an accomplished musician in their own right, Elite Beat thrive on collaboration. 2018 saw the release of their astral-Saharan jams with celebrated Taureg guitarist Mdou Moctar.The players get together every Wednesday evening, sometimes to chat, sometimes to play. The 'record' button gets pressed when they find what they are searching for. For this crew it's all about 'Casual Rhythms / Harmonious Lifestyles' - if things don't fall under that mantra, then it's got to go. 'Less is more' for Elite Beat and their cosmic sounds.
