the mabel the label mixtape
MTL is delighted to release our first 'Mixtape' - a collection of tracks and remixes made by the artists that feature in the Mabel The Label catalogue.These artists include The Smurques (with 2 tracks from their debut album: it's title track "Happily Ever Aftermath", and "Sygmatology"), The Smurque's very own Jah Bozo and Kalvefjæs (i.e. Jannick Næsted aka. OK Totem), our good friends Laid Back, Cock Robin, Terminal ARGH, Indistogether, Locobrigida, and Kidde goes Umpff, as well as other artists who we don't really know at all, like Her Scattered Gold, Everything But The Girl, Beyoncé and Deep Purple.
'Mixtape' consists of 19 tracks - original album-tracks, remixes, bootlegs, mashups. Some are previous releases, others are brand-new and exclusive to this collection, a few are from forthcoming releases, and some are ultra-secret bootlegs you'll never find anywhere else than on this mixtape. In the spirit of sharing and caring, Mabel The Label offers this compilation to anyone who could be bothered downloading it, absolutely free of charge, obligation, or risk of prosecution from the blood-sucking, hypocritical turds that police the internet (who can seriously just go fuck themselves, by the way! OK?).
Stream or download it HERE FOR FREE! Or just don't. Like, who gives a shit... y'know?
the smurques
The Smurques are bassist, Jannick Næsted (aka OK Totem), jazzguitarist, Christian Bluhme, and drummer / percussionist, Pontus Torstensson; all edited, arranged and produced by Jah Bozo.The Smurques’ music is largely jammed into existance and then laborously tweeked, morphed, re-sorted and re-synced in the virtual realm, culminating in a curious, postmodernist doggy-bag of styles, from hand-played jazz and drum & bass, ambient, electronica, reggae and dub, to nashville, rock, and the occassional feu pop vocals.
In September, 2012, after protracted negotiations, the Danish/German conglomerate, Mabel The Label, released The Smurques' debut album: "Happily Ever Aftermath".
Shortly thereafter, The Smurques were invited to spend the northern winter in the Samoan paradise hide-away of Mabel The Label manager, Hermann Crash-Bang (not his real name), and promptly disappeared without a trace off the Scandinavian music scene just as they seemed poised to take it by storm. They haven't been seen since.
Herr Crash-Bang assures us (by snail mail - the net has been down on his island for some months due to hurricane damage) that no harm has come to them, they're buff, well-fed, well-tanned, and won't be back in this our grey, cold, wintery hell-hole of their birth any time soon. However, they have several albums worth of material waiting to be transferred just as soon as they can make a connection - but then over a 64k modem, so don't hold your breathe, Urban Hippy fans!
With any luck, Mabel The Label will release selections of Smurque’s tracks, as they come to light
