Max I Million – A Vibe Called Blessed

After releasing the stunning Uncut Gems instrumental project last year, Swedish beatsmith Max I Million is back at it with a new single, “A Vibe Called Blessed” taken from his forthcoming follow-up LP.
 
As you may have guessed from the track’s title, this is a loving homage to the legendary A Tribe Called Quest. In particular, “A Vibe…” takes the sound and style of Tribe’s classic third album, Midnight Marauders, and synthesizes it into one track. Max’s instrumental is full of the warmth and jazz-influenced grooves heard throughout MM.
 
“A Vibe Called Blessed” is the lead focus track taken from Max’s upcoming album, Shine On…, which serves as a sequel of sorts to his Coalmine debut, Uncut Gems. The 12 track LP is set to drop this summer both digitally and on vinyl in multiple configurations. And if “A Vibe…” is any indication, we’re in for something special once the warmer months roll around.”

“A Vibe Called Blessed” is an obvious homage to the legendary group A Tribe Called Quest. Can you tell us a little about that?”

 
Max I Million: I´ve always done tributes and paid homage to my musical predecessors and influences. I think it´s important to acknowledge the roots of the music I´m making, whether it´s Jazz, Soul, Funk or Hip Hop, what I make is not entirely new – It´s channeled through the ones who came before me. In the case of A Tribe Called Quest, that´s one of the first Hip Hop groups I listened to and that sound has shaped me both as a musician and a human – and in a broader sense, ATCQ has shaped the sound of Hip Hop overall. 
 

The single is the first taste of your upcoming Coalmine Records album “Shine On”. What can we expect in regards to that?

 
Max I Million: “Shine On” is the unofficial sequel to Uncut Gems and you will find similarities, especially in the sense of going back to my Boom Bap roots, loop-based beat made on the MPC2000XL, but vividly shapeshifting when you least expect it.
 
But also elements of live instruments and using household objects such as bottles and such as percussion. A think-outside-the-box approach to classical beatmaking. But put short: Hard hitting, swinging drums and silky smooth jazz vibes.

You can now stream the track ‘A Vibe Called Blessed’ on all platforms.

  • 🍊 @tendasenda provides a beautiful and stunning EP titled CALMA perfect for the start of the summer warmness that we’re all going through. The approach is pure calmness and a positive atmosphere. This release is the debut from Tenda Senda on the catalogue in collaboration with the homies over at @stzzyasfvck 

We’re seeing two songs being presented, which goes together very well but has their differences. He is truly talented in shaping different melodies in both CALMA and the previous projects that he’s been putting out. Sunday Ride starts out with this beautiful acoustic guitars that takes you away into a drift for a moment. Then the second approach titled Korali is just puring through with positive vibes from the melodic touch he’s added.

  • Always heat from @_waahiid_ - we recently put out his Gram Blends Vol. 1 with a ton of unreleased gems he has made during the year. 

In the article it is also mentioned about his upcoming works that
  • I have the great honor of presenting the new single made by the two producers & creators 🇫🇷 @odyssee_lc and @florent.gar . We have seen their collaborations in the past reach great success on the catalog and now we have the great pleasure of experiencing it again. The song is a blissful track made with such deep & atmospheric tones. It has the ability of taking you into an cinematic scene in both uplifting ways but also with a deeper thoughtfulness. ⁣
⁣
I am happy to see both of them trying out different styles & experimenting with their talents in this one and i am so greatful for you all showing love & support. Make sure to press the link in biography and stream the new song.
  • The first official NINETOFIVE® compilation titled House Blends with @kreatev @cupidonmusic @greyboxmusic and @gustav_gustav_gustav_ with photos by @notoriousfusick now available on all services. 

Read the full article about this gem on the website. We are super excited for this & hope you will vibe to it. 💯🔥
  • 📟 This Friday, got a bit of a surprise project being released. An amazing lineup of uptempo beats on the catalog branded under the Ninetofive® which is the first time we are doing this. 

The project is in collaboration with the talented photographer @notoriousfusick 🇺🇸 from Los Angeles to bring the best vibes possible on this. I truly hope you
  • It is now two years since we saw @_waahiid_ project ‘Waahiids Deli‘ come to life and being released. The very talented producer originally from Spain but located in the states (Los Angeles) has decided to share some of his work process and his inspiration through the years.

The project is a glimse of what he’s been working on and we are seeing his official project come to life during the end of this year. Waahiid is one of the few producers with such unique sound and in his own lane. The moods he can create in these are just stunning, blending happy notes with grimey ones to total perfection. His love for small addition of rap & RnB doesn’t go unnoticed as well.

I spoke a bit with Waahiid about the approach and his vision – This is what he had to say himself about the Gram Blends – Here is the first of a series of compilations I’m putting together before my new album is out. “Waahiid Gram Blends” is a collection of tracks and visuals that I have shared and removed from instagram over the years. Our art deserves a longer lifespan than what is provided by the instant consumption of content going on these days

I do personally agree with Waahiid in terms of how much work people are putting in towards social media (when it comes to art) and music. For stories and such then it just disappears into a pool of “expired” material that noone looks at more. It’s a good observation to now re-use his material and giving it new life for listeners that has not seen his creations.

  • We are seeing three absolute gems produced and made by the very talented @n.kmusic - We start of with the song Okythoos which takes you away for a smooth ride & journey which sets the note for his project 1998. Slow but still very uplifting tones with jazzy influences which brings your mood up instantly after you press play. 

Second track titled Neph has that iconic lo-fi feel to it but he still manages to take elements from the first track to involve the jazzy vibe. NK Music successfully takes us for a journey and it’s the same for the third and last song in this beautiful EP – Laestry. He truly has an ear how to wrap up songs together in a great release and they don’t drift away into any other approach than what he had in mind. 

The release can now be found on all streaming services. In collaboration with @stzzyasfvck 💯👑
  • 🔥 We are back with another beautiful set and video made possible by the great @vince_navv & @divinesun_ A full 35 minute set carefully selected for your chill listening sessions.

Join the tribe.

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.
