Genre: Funk/Jazz/Breakbeat/Psyche. "Terrific!"- Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music. Double header 7" from NY production duo The Still Brothers.

'Wake Up' Mixed by Skinshape. The Still Brothers are Andrew LeCoche (Ula Ruth) and Evan Heinze (The Shacks).

'Wake Up' was created in a New York winter on a cloudy day. The song's bones were sculpted in the classic Still Brothers' fashion making use of a collection of favourite sounds.

It came to life when Brazilian friend and collaborator Marina B heard the track in her sleep and thought of the song's lyrics as she woke up.

It might take you to that place in-between dreams and the waking life, where you are pulled in and out of a state of slumber.

It incidentally speaks to the abrupt change that was about to fall upon the world in early 2020.

Between the singing in Portuguese and the sounds of subway doors, the song is just alienating enough to make anyone these days to feel right at home.

'Wake Up' was mixed by Will Dorey aka Skinshape and mastered by Alex DeTurk. The cover art was designed by Sofia Ohanna.

Inspired by subway preachers, jazz funerals and Hip-Hop 'The Deep' serves as an introduction to the dazzling skills of New York production duo The Still Brothers.

Their debut track breaks open with a reverend crying out about the transgressions we have committed against each other.

He then observes that so many of us are throwing up our hands in an act of surrendering.

A poignant sentiment in these troubling times and one that will resonate throughout the world.
