"Run" is the first Single of Rookley's debut LP "Playground" which is going to be released over the Berlin Label AIMEND in Spring 2022.
PreOrder here:rookley.bandcamp.com/
The sound aesthetics of 'Playground' wants to restore Rookley’s dimension, made of dark, isolated environments, which echo his inner world. Where introspection is combined with the anger and anxiety of those who do not feel at ease in the here and now. Victim and executioner of an imprint made of dissatisfaction and the constant search for a peace that does not come. In the darkness and the discomfort, there is tension and, at the same time, warm abandonment, reassurance. The care for sounds and evoked emotions is the result of research aimed at achieving the exact representation of visceral, intimate, and extremely sincere sensations. There are no filters, everything is authentic, exposed living flesh, made up of significant experiences, alienation, nostalgia for an unwritten future. The language is personal and hermetic, but never encrypted.
The record is beautifully mixed by the renowned mixing Engineer Fransessco Dornadello (Thom York, Modeselektor, Chernobyl Soundtrack, Mouse on Mars, Johan Johannson).
“Two famous minds have worked for this Trip-Hop beauty and there’s no reason to skip it. Clear background patterns shifting slowly their shape, under the impact of two kinds of vocals. The chorus is melodic and alternates with faster lyrics in an interesting way.”

Legendary trip-hop producer Wax Tailor has teamed up with Mick Jenkins on the new single, ‘No More Magical’, released on the 3rd of February via Lab’oratoire. Just over one year after the release of his last album, The Shadow Of Their Suns, ‘No More Magical’ reveals a new project from Wax Tailor to come in 2022. Code name: Fishing For Accidents with more info to come in the upcoming months. Featured US MC & lyricist Mick Jenkins has been making waves in the hip hop scene for the last 10 years with his latest album, Elephant In The Room gaining significant recognition around the world.
Languishing and unhurried Wax Tailor and Mick Jenkins present the spirit of disillusionment and the apathy that follows. Harsh and raw, the unflinching lyrics are contrasted against production with nostalgic fragrances of old school hip hop elements.
Wax Tailor tells us about the creation of the single: “I started this track with almost everything in mind music-wise, I had a bittersweet mood, then I added this chorus gimmick “Its No More Magical”. Afterwards, I suggested to Mick Jenkins that we collaborate. I wanted this counterweight with a lighter chorus and I knew his writing and deep flow would hit the spot.”

“Take a deep breath and slow down the exhalation. Feel how the cells of your body are saturated with oxygen. Music passes through the whole body like a warm wave and time stops for a moment. The rhythms of DownTempo and Chillstep are immersed in trance by your consciousness and the background sounds are introduced into the meditation state.”
“Сделайте глубокий вдох и медленный выдох. Почувствуйте, как клетки вашего организма насыщаются кислородом. Музыка проходит через всё ваше тело тёплой волной и время на мгновение останавливается. Ритмы Downtempo и Chillstep погружают ваше сознание в транс, а фоновые фразы вводят в состояние медитации.”

“Brilliant minimal approach but at the same time absorbed all the best of the Trip-Hop and UK Garage style. The listen becomes quickly interesting and gives rich pleasure. Sounds are shimmer from one to another, floating and competently replacing each other. Indescribable beauty!”
“Трек звучит в минималистичном жанре, но при этом вобрал в себя всё лучшее из Trip-Hop и UK Garage. Слушается очень интересно и максимально насыщенно. Звуки переливаются из одного в другой, плавно и грамотно сменяя друг друга. Красота неописуемая!”
