Art Make Love sees the return of 30/70, the mothership of the internationally acclaimed collective. Their sound expanding far beyond its previous markers of nu-soul and jazz, it is inspired heavily by broken beat complexity and their unique coming together of truly collaborative and eccentric songwriting. Real sense of light and dark in this -- exploring the very edges of emotion and life, truth and fear, the depth of spirit and emotion. Art Make Love is breaking down the walls between the music and the listener, it is bringing art back to the center and inviting you in. It is looking directly into the darkness while celebrating life, expressing joy at the edges of all experience. Includes download code.

30/70 and Rhythm Section team up once more to deliver their most ambitious remix package to date. Call outs to friends and family of the label and collective offered up a selection of some of the most exciting electronic music producers in the scene and the fruits of the collaboration have arrived. The remix package continues 30/70's practice of rebirthing their music in a contemporary club sound but this time takes that intention a step further, veering into unexpected and more experimental territory for the band, calling in a new era for their musical endeavors. The record opens with a duo that need no introduction, label legends Chaos In The CBD work their magic on "Tastes Like Freedom", playing on Josh Kelly's drawn out noir-esque sax notes and Allysha's whispering tones to create a sultry and sophisticated house number in their typically infectious style. Next up, Utrecht native Carista enters with the sound of the Netherlands for a new wave electro trip fresh off her BBC Radio 1 residency. Tornado Wallace takes you straight to a hot pink sunset on the long-lost festival floor with his "Red Face Remix" of "Tastes Like Freedom". Closing out are the cerebral and ethereal sounds of Yu Su's "Midnight Blossom" Remix, where the Kaifeng-born composer, DJ and sound artist continues her exploration of "fourth world" ambience and left-field dance music. Over the last few years, 30/70 have become something of a supergroup: with Allysha Joy, Ziggy Zeitgeist, Josh Kelly and Matthew Hayes all soaring as solo artists and band leaders. Individual talents aside, there's nothing quite like the 30/70 collective united as one unstoppable force; and the synergy is palpable in this tantalizing tour-de force.

With their third album Fluid Motion, Melbourne's 30/70 are set to soar into higher territory as the face of Australia's newest wave of soul-influenced brilliance. From the swirling opening pads of "Brunswick Hustle" all the way through to the sax-laden shimmer of "Flowers" at its close, Fluid Motion is an instant classic, effortlessly shifting between neo-soul and languid, astral-facing jazz textures and authentic vignettes of UK club music history. It's a formula that those already caught in 30/70's celestial web are fully aware of; first defined on the local heat of their 2015 debut Cold Radish Coma and majestically expanded upon with their critically acclaimed 2017 release Elevate on Bradley Zero's Rhythm Section International (mixed by Hiatus Kaiyote's Paul Bender). Elevate (RS 020LP, 2018) did exactly that -- elevating both the scope of the band's sound as well as their standing in the local and international community. Since the last record was released, the music has brought the band on world tours and to the attention of the wider public and key tastemakers alike. Strongly supported by the likes of Gilles Peterson, Tom Ravenscroft, Jamie Cullum, Matthew Halsall, and Bradley Zero, the UK has become something of a second home for 30/70. London in particular has openly embraced the soulful sounds of Melbourne, as evidenced by Gilles' latest Brownswood compilation Sunny Side Up which features three tracks from 30/70 members: Ziggy Zeitgeist, Horatio Luna, and Allysha Joy. The record is a follow-up to his era-defining survey of the UK jazz scene We Out Here, the compilation that kickstarted a whole generation of London's under-the-radar jazz kids to global headlining heights. It would appear you're about to witness this same effect take place for the Melbourne contingent, of which 30/70 lead the charge. The city's invasion is well and truly upon us. While London is undoubtedly in love with what's happening in Melbourne right now, this is no one way love affair. The 30/70 collective have had their ears to the ground and plugged into the sound of the UK underground. This new album takes inspiration from the syncopation of broken-beat, the immediacy of grime and dub's sonic aesthetic to create something that is a truly global amalgamation of local sounds, finessed by Allysha Joy's instantly recognizable vocals; the rawest and realest of voices.

2021 repress forthcoming, expected in July.. Working closely with Paul Bender of Hiatus Kaiyote and Jamil Zacharia, 30/70 produce their new record, Elevate. Elevate is a sublime statement; at once a cry for help and a call to arms, it balances delicate poetry and potent aggression with ease, all of this done with a beguiling pop sensibility. This collection of songs, their second studio effort after their debut, Cold Radish Coma (2015), is set to elevate 30/70 to the international stage. 30/70 is a cosmic mélange of boom-bap dynamics, neo-soul harmonies and jazz-funk licks, all steeped in a deep spiritual tradition, reaching from Alice Coltrane to Kamasi Washington. Melbourne's relative isolation could in fact be a blessing in disguise; it's resulted in a pressure cooker of talent; a tight-knit, well-practiced network of musicians and 30/70 are leading the pack. The band came of age in the wake of Melbourne's soul scene hitting global success, a local phenomenon which shone a light on the Northside community and paved the way for a new generation of bands to take this sound and make it their own. Lovingly referred to as a community rather than a band, 30/70 is, at its core, a quintet made up of Allysha Joy, Ziggy Zeitgeist, Horatio Luna, Thhomas, and Chaser, swelling to a nine-piece ensemble when the music calls for it. Forever delivering their signature hypnotic groove, 30/70 are ready to take their message from Northcote to the world.
