New Zealand’s Julien Dyne presents “Teal”, a synth-heavy sonic palette of future-soul and percussive afro-house. Julien Dyne is a multi-instrumentalist with a long and impressive history of collaborative, live and solo musicianship. Best known for his solo work with BBE and having worked with the likes of Theo Parrish, Steve Spacek and Andreya Triana as well as having remixed Marcel Vogel, Ghostwave and Leroy Burgess (alongside Frank Booker) and more – Dyne has also accumulated a number of accolades over the course of a 10-year career including but not exclusive to being hotly tipped by both Moodymann and Gilles Peterson. Demonstrating a shift in gears and movement toward a more uptempo, Afro-inspired sound “Teal” melds instrumental flair with astute production and a persistent grain of impassioned, effortless soul. Including collaborations with the likes of long term band-mate Ladi6, and Fat Freddy’s Drop’s trumpeter Toby Laing – this is a body of work for the listener and the dancer alike with a mood as fitting for headphones as it is for the floor.
