.. it's about the space in between and not about the known & the static! Sonar Kollektiv was founded in 1997 by Berlin's internationally renowned DJ and producer team JAZZANOVA. The intention was to create an independent record label and publisher connected to a worldwide independent distribution network. With more then 500 catalogue releases over the few last years, among them well known artists like MICATONE, FETSUM, CLARA HILL, ÂME, DIXON, FAT FREDDY'S DROP, SLOPE and of course JAZZANOVA themselves, Sonar Kollektiv can claim to be one of the strongest and best-known German labels of our time.

So Messed Up is the second single to be taken from Jono McCleery's forthcoming 8th album, Reconcile.
sonarkollektiv.lnk.to/Reconcile

The single draws on global themes of having lost touch with ourselves and with nature, and how having to survive in the modern world often gets in the way. It continues the themes that run throughout the new album, which is in itself a story of journeys and navigating through periods of love and loss, and signals a yearning for us to reconnect to ourselves and nature.

Leon Raum is a prolific German producer, drummer, multi-instrumentalist and creative who has worked with several live bands and music projects across a number of different genres for over a decade. It’s jazz, though, that’s very much at the heart of Leon’s music. The way it encompasses all of the technical intricacies of the instruments themselves is central to his production remit.

Leon now finally feels that the time is right to step out of the shadows and into the light to showcase his own solo productions, and his debut Basement Meditation EP offers up snapshots of different periods of the producer’s process.

Champloo is the first single to be lifted from the EP , and one that found its source of inspiration from Japanese anime series Samurai Champloo, as well as its theme tune performed by Japanese producer Nujabes. Insistent piano stabs and swinging drums build tension throughout the track as Leon explains:

“I was watching a lot of Samurai Champloo, and I visualised a hectic yet collected sword fight scene while making this. ”
