Asal Hazel is a neo-soul songstress whose music is described as alternative R&B, with elements of soul, ethereal R&B, and pop. With the help of the Stones Throw/Akashik Records affiliated collective, the Persian-American Los Angeles native is wrapping up her debut project that she had begun independently back in 2015. She has curated a world of staggering dysphoria in the dreamy sounds birthed from lovelorn poetry and atmospheric vocal tone. Hazel's lyrics are vulnerable, clever and revolve around themes of love, lust, and enlightenment. The debut project, Like Water, features production from Swarvy, and Stones Throw heavy hitters, such as MNDSGN, and Grammy-winning producer, Knxwledge, amongst others.

The Los Angeles exclusive release party of These Things Take Time's "TIME002"

Forged last year in the fires of Chicago's world renowned club, Smartbar, with the support and distribution of Lobster Theramin, These Things Take Time is a Chicago/Philly based house label run by founder Hayes Bradley. Following a sell out tape in 2016 and a year long honeymoon in Berlin, Lobster Theramin picked up TTTT's second release for distro on wax, and the rest is history. Put on your dancing shoes and come see the label boss himself throw down some jigs on the 1's and 2's to celebrate the unveiling of TTTT's first wax on the market. 

Providing further aural entertainment is the acerbic Scotland based producer/DJ/CPR Certified Swift Water Rescue Lifeguard/ avid reader, Brooks Hudgins aka Sweetheart Cowboy; who's affable productions, and sweaty, kinetic, floorboard cracking sets in the UK have been the soundtrack to more than 10,000 k holes. The prodigal son returns after 3 years away for his LA debut, back to back like Jennifer Connolly in Requiem for a Dream with cougar heartbreaker and reformed Pagan child star Jack George, a name well known the in the illegal Montreal rave scene where he cut his teeth as a DJ.

Dzang birthed half a decade ago as an outlet for Los Angeles producer Adam Gunther’s more exploratory impulses, beyond the confines of his soundtrack work. Following a pair of self-released LPs (XLO, 2014, and Lotion, 2015), he began amassing a vault of liquid inner space instrumentals, tracing connections between poolside R&B, sun-kissed pop, astral jazz, and blunted dance. For half the tracks he called in a cast of featured collaborators to sing, speak, rap, or reflect, including smoky New York City vocalist DonChristian, Estonian avant-diva Maria Minerva, neo-crooner Maxim Ludwig, and Cali chanteuse Olivia Kaplan.

The resultant collection, 3G, coasts blissfully across 14 tracks of weekend West Coast electronic rhythm, alternately soft and summery, downtempo and upscale. Gunther’s touch is heady, hi-fi, and healing. Pacific dreams for specific times. 

Link: 3G is out now on DzangRecs.
