Love marks the long-awaited return of Melbourne based producer Prequel to Rhythm Section INTL, following outings on Distant Hawaii (now Distant Horizons), Local Talk, and an EP on Lumberjacks in Hell. The lead track, "Love Is" is a joint effort with long term collaborator Cazeaux O.S.L.O. Its a meditation on Love, in all its complexities. This exploration is dissected across this deeply personal concept album -- a 50-minute journey through the highs and lows of love and loss. Across 12 tracks we're taken on a journey which seamlessly incorporates soul, jazz, hip-hop, and Brazilian influences -- all drenched in a deep longing which traces its roots back to the masters of deep, melancholic house music. Born into a musical family and brought up on a blend of jazz and hip-hop, Prequel supplements his sample-based style with a number of luminaries of the Australian music scene in the form of guests Horatio Luna on bass, Josh Kelly on sax, Cazeaux O.S.L.O on vocals, Javier Fredes on percussion and Tamil Rogeon on violin/viola. Deeply influenced by his love of film, the album is accompanied by a series of music videos edited by Prequel that whilst creating companion pieces to each single, also looks to further expand the meditation of what we talk about when we talk about Love. For fans of: Osunlade, Gilles Peterson, K15, Seven Davis Jr., Lefto, Moxie. Red vinyl.

RS 013EP

2020 repress. Prequel's back with more of the soulful, jazz-tinged productions that got Rhythm Section International's attention first time round with his debut EP Polite Strangers (2014). The record proved a hit with the likes of Gilles Peterson, Osunlade, Recloose, Mister Saturday Night, Ben UFO, and garnered a cult following amongst music lovers, spreading the word of the label farther afield in the process. Holding the fort as Rhythm Section ambassador down under, Prequel has stepped things up for his sophomore EP, incorporating spoken word, subtle vocal lines and the same instrumental flourishes that drew RS in the first time round. This is a record with a message, a record that speaks from the soul, an homage and above all a very serious artistic statement. Features Cazeaux O.S.L.O..
