SMOKE SCREEN

Inspiration Interlude, the second single from our new album ‘From The Yard’ is out Friday 3/17.

Much love to Jeff from Scene Magazine for the writeup on our new album!

“The new album, From the Yard, represents the band’s crowning achievement. The samples feature the kind of whimsical approach that made acts such as De La Soul and Tribe Called Quest famous.” – Jeff Niesel (Cleveland Scene Magazine)

After celebrating 15 years in the Cleveland scene last year, Smoke Screen is setting their sights on a move to LA this spring. Not only will this serve as a final Cleveland show, it will double as a release party for their upcoming full length 4th album, which is out 3/24.

Featuring opening sets by their respective solo projects, Broken Keys and Mooke Da God, this is the first show to feature all three acts on one bill.

Broken Keys dropped a string of singles and collaborations since the 2019 full length album Distant Mood was released, with the follow up to that album slated for release this summer.

Mooke Da God closed 2020 out with the release of the album Twenty Thirty, and has the follow up to that album currently in the works with a release date set for this year as well.

Be the first to hear the new music live, plus catch the final Cleveland performance before they head west.

The third release in the series of 12” EPs featuring reinterpretations of tracks from the album “People Need People” – the brilliant album by Nicola Conte and Gianluca Petrella released in 2021 – features the excellent collaboration of two American artists from the Detroit scene Tall Black Guy and Andrès. Terrel Wallace AKA Tall Black Guy, raised on bread, Motown, jazz and early hip hop… he has become a standard-bearer of the current hip hop beat scene. With a steady stream of sample-flled productions and clever flips, he has won fans all over the world. His production skills are showcased in his own rendition of “Nigeria”, where he calls on Broken Keys AKA Tommy Sheridan DJ, producer, vocalist and multi-Instrumentalist from Cleveland, Ohio.
On side AA instead, DJ Andrés, now a revered fgure of the Detroit scene praised by the eclectic Moodyman and Carl Graig among others, delivers a house version of “African Tribes” worthy of the most important dancefloors, in which he mixes soul-jazz parts with fragments of vocal samples and spoken words, all sublimated into a musical mixture with a strong deep house impact, with rhythm and mood typical of the black culture. Originally conceived as a trilogy, this successful reworking series will eventually embrace a further fourth chapter including two new Fred P. interpretations of the tracks “African Spirits” and “Tribes”!
