A carefully curated collection of \u003cstrong\u003eexclusive, genre-spanning tracks\u003c\/strong\u003e from his most hotly tipped, contemporary \u003cstrong\u003eemerging artists and underground forerunners\u003c\/strong\u003e. Start to finish it takes listeners on a \u003cstrong\u003e24-hour journey \u003c\/strong\u003efrom morning to the dancefloor. Moving through soothing and gently bubbling \u003cstrong\u003eambient folk, jazz and soul\u003c\/strong\u003e, to sunlit \u003cstrong\u003eBrazilian MPB,\u003c\/strong\u003e atmospheric instrumental \u003cstrong\u003epsych\u003c\/strong\u003e and dancefloor-friendly \u003cstrong\u003eelectronic \u003c\/strong\u003eproductions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom humble beginnings as a music blog, Somewhere Soul has grown into a \u003cstrong\u003eglobal go-to for music discovery \u003c\/strong\u003ewith close to a \u003cstrong\u003emillion followers\u003c\/strong\u003e on Instagram alone. Unlike many with the influence that Josh Mason-Quinn holds, his outlook and format have remained the same - \u003cstrong\u003eshowcasing music that he loves\u003c\/strong\u003e and providing a platform for artists from all corners of the world. In a world increasingly overrun by AI, Josh says, “it’s far m\u003cstrong\u003eore memorable discovering music from another human\u003c\/strong\u003e than some instant algorithm recommendation that’s devoid of context”. As with all the best compilations, Rituals is a step back to tradition, a direct dialogue between compiler and listener, the simple message being ‘\u003cstrong\u003ethis is amazing music, and it deserves to be heard’.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoundtracking the progression of Josh’s daily listening habits, the compilation draws on different sides of music to support you wherever you are and whatever you’re doing. The Rise side opens with ‘Bath of forgiveness in the moonlight’ by \u003cstrong\u003eNaïssam Jalal \u003c\/strong\u003e- a sublime, gentle wake-up call before the bustle of life begins. The tranquillity of \u003cstrong\u003eBlue Lake \u003c\/strong\u003e‘Skyview’ follows, a special track written with a brief in mind from Josh. Elsewhere, French-Brazilian artist \u003cstrong\u003eTiago Caetano\u003c\/strong\u003e brings a wash of calm with the dreamy ‘Prisme Latin’. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe energy of the day builds across the Radiate side with Mediterranean jazz funk, breezy boogie, UK jazz fusion and Afro-Latin grooves from the likes of \u003cstrong\u003eGianni Brezzo, João Selva, Fr1th \u0026amp; Simon Jefferis, Konkolo Orchestra and Ireke. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the sun sets the Retreat side takes listeners through that hazy transition. String arranger \u003cstrong\u003eMiguel Atwood-Ferguson \u003c\/strong\u003eworks his magic on\u003cstrong\u003e Kennebec\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eTristan de Liège\u003c\/strong\u003e’s exquisite instrumental, as harpist \u003cstrong\u003eRachel Kitchlew\u003c\/strong\u003e’s ‘A Path To You’ offers a dose of serenity. The twilight grooves grow with tracks like ‘Tide’, a cinematic soul-jazz cut from \u003cstrong\u003eMikoudi\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eChina Bowls\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eGentle Nature\u003c\/strong\u003e’s rich, retro lean-back jam ‘New Faces’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSignalling the final Release, the closing side is a perfect blend of dancefloor heat. Turkish city pop from\u003cstrong\u003e Peki Momés \u003c\/strong\u003emarinates with \u003cstrong\u003eDaniel Monaco\u003c\/strong\u003e’s signature tropical disco and an infectious deep house cut from Australia’s \u003cstrong\u003eAlexander Flood\u003c\/strong\u003e. Finally, \u003cstrong\u003eReuben Vaun Smith\u003c\/strong\u003e’s (Sons of Sevilla) new Landing Eagles project delivers an anthemic breakbeat street soul ender with ‘Be On My Side’. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe contemporary music scene is bursting with creative talent from all directions. Access to new music is easier than ever, but amazing artists still struggle to cut through the noise. Josh has constructed a collection to help counterbalance this, an \u003cstrong\u003eexpression and celebration of underground music in its many forms\u003c\/strong\u003e. In his own words, “During these strange times where the floodgates have opened to AI music, I hope this compilation serves as a reminder of the vital role music plays in our lives and how much human-made music is worth fighting for”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve.
