A beautiful collaboration and song that they have put together for us to experience. Mecca:83 one of the original members of the tribe has decided to share this great single with the very talented producer that’s also from the United Kingdom. The last release we had on the catalog was Quiet Moments from Mecca:83 and now we’re seeing new installments with collaborations from people in his circle which makes me so excited to see what 2022 holds in terms of new releases.
I would like to share a bit more about Handbook and his music & vision – Inspired by artists such as J Dilla, Flying Lotus and Madlib, Handbook began producing music in his bedroom in 2010, working solely with an MPC1000 and a MicroKORG. He began to build a following after sharing his music on SoundCloud and in late 2010 Handbook released his debut EP on Grappa Frisbee Records, the first in a string of successful albums and EPs he has released, notably “All The Time,” “Titanomachy” and “Botanicals.”
Handbook’s signature sound is comprised of soulful samples, thick bass lines and layered instrumental flourishes. He says that he wants the music to reflect that same helplessness and fear felt when you find yourself in an unknown and clandestine place, with no idea of when you might return to the familiarity of home. When creating my music for the music project, I don’t want to evoke specific emotions so much as a soundscape with a certain gravitas that reflects the seriousness of stories in The Outlaw Ocean. I used the sounds provided by The Outlaw Ocean project to accomplish this and set the tone for each piece. – Handbook

Producers whose work is selected for release on the catalog will have the support of our team in developing high-quality art and with developing a promotional strategy for the release. Our editorial staff also conducts interviews and develops press bios with many of the artists on our roster; we care about helping expose the individuals and stories behind the music.
Since we care about the producer, we aim to keep a in-house membership due to travelling, live-shows and yearly gatherings including support from the crew whenever a producer is releasing something new on the catalog.
