In 2011, a concept was born to take a wondrous period of dance music out of the dark and into the light.

This magical time from 1977 – 1987 bore the imprint of the disco age and the promise of the hip-hop era to come. It was the music we partied to when Reaganomics was going hard. A time when your video was not touching hearts and minds without synchronized body rolls and laser light effects.

It’s all the music that no one else ever plays at ’80s parties.

Throughout 2011 we celebrated this music, and you showered it with the love it deserves. We called it Axel F, after Eddie Murphy’s character in Beverly Hills Cop.

This month we celebrate one year of The Illest In Jheri Curl Funk, Champagne Soul & Lazer Boogie.

Mark de Clive-Lowe may just be the most significant modern talent bridging the worlds of jazz, soul and electronica.

During his decade long stint as an emigrated New Zealander in London, he was one of the driving forces of the broken beat and nu-jazz scenes. Since departing London for Los Angeles, his pace of productions, remixes and touring has only increased. When not creating studio magic with Lady Alma, Sy Smith or Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, he continues to push the boundaries of his already mind-blowing live shows that combine sharp jazz chops on keyboards with live production wizardry employing synths and samplers.

The overall sound of his new album Renegades hinges on club cuts flavoured with soul, funk, tech-Afrobeat and Latin twists topped with fine, organic songwriting; all orchestrated by MdCL showcasing his ability to meld the science of beat-making with musicianship. He sums up the approach: “My whole thing with this kind of production is balancing electronics and programming with organic and live musicianship. I love for that line to be blurred almost to the point where you don’t know which is which.”
