Info zu Quarantena

"Tenderlonious returns to his own 22a imprint with a brand new collection of lo-fi beats and soundscapes courtesy of the lockdown studio sessions from his home in South London. Lockdown allowed Tender to escape from his busy lifestyle and touring schedule, finally giving him the time to properly explore and experiment with the vast collection of synths, drum machines and instruments he’s built up over the past twenty years. Armed with an arsenal of hardware and inspired by sci-fi & fantasy movies, he has delivered an expansive opus of varying tempos that glide across imaginative synth sculptures and meditative soundscapes. The soundtrack to his quarantine - ‘Quarantena.’

When COVID-19 hit the UK back in March this year the music game changed almost overnight - no more gigs, no more studio sessions with the band, many music stores and outlets shutting up shop. This drastic change offered plenty of time for reflection, opening up a new portal of exploration for Tender - he purchased his first piece of studio equipment at the age of 16 and has since then amassed a serious arsenal of studio hardware. Some people collect stamps, some of us collect records, Tender collects synths and drum machines. The lockdown period offered up the opportunity of more time in his home studio, brimming with hardware, that due to his busy schedule, had yet to be exhausted."

"And at this moment there is probably no other record in jazz that strives so well to capture the surreal dystopian feel of the last few months. If we must live in a time that feels so much like a science fiction film, we surely must also have the music to accompany it." (londonjazznews.com)

Tenderlonious
Whether dropping sought-after house / broken beat 12”s on 22a, releasing via the likes of Ninja Tune, Brownswood, Yoruba, Sounds Of The Universe and Far Out, or making inspirational sounds with his other band Ruby Rushton, Tenderlonious is one of the jazz renaissance’s leading lights. He has helped turn the UK music scene on its head and shifted the focus back from aesthetic and sartorial posturing to live real musicianship, alongside other key piers like Moses Boyd, Henry Wu/Kamaal Williams and Tenderlonious’ credentials in both electronic and jazz worlds are impeccable. He already has a monthly slot on Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide FM, Solid Steel Mix and multiple NTS shows under his belt, whilst his productions have gained praise and club plays from Gilles Peterson, Benji B, Huey Morgan, Lefto, Bradley Zero, Bonobo, Soul Clap, Osunlade, Alexander Nut. Mr G, Henry Wu and many more. His 2018 album “The Shakedown” featuring The 22archestra has been met with mass acclaim, and received over 3 million streams on Spotify alone. 2019 see’s the multi-instrumentalist and bandleader embarking on releasing new material with his band Ruby Rushton, as well as fresh studio productions of his own, and collaborations with Polish Jazz outfit EABS, Coldcut and Pakistani band Jaubi. Tenderlonious is surely one of the most prolific producers and musicians in the business right now, with his own 22a imprint the home for everything.
