about
Across the river Mersey, a broadcast beams out of Transmission Towers. Signalling the arrival of a new transcendent machine soul duo and their forthcoming debut album Transmission One, the grooves of ‘Roller Skater 23’ reverberate into the atmosphere. Laced up, strapped in, this is a cosmic cruiser to soundtrack your ride on the interstellar airwaves.
Transmission Towers, operated by Mark Kyriacou and Eleanor Mante, brings together two artists who collaborated over 10 years ago and stayed friends ever since. This new project, which also marks the first release on Luke Una’s new É Soul Cultura label, orbits a synthesised world won over by soul. Giving a first taste of what’s to come on their forthcoming album, the lead single is an outer planetary excursion taking in off-kilter E soul, tripped-out astral punk and sonic Afrofuturism.
Machines melding with emotions, Mark programming the synthesisers and drum machines as Eleanor lays down the lyrical radiance. Galactic keys, hyperspace basslines and celestial strings, it’s the kind of otherworldly energy that transports your mind to another dimension.
Amplifying this first transmission as far as it can possibly reach, Crooked Man aka Parrot has been brought in on mix down duties. Combined with a heavyweight mastering by Joker, ‘Roller Skater 23’ is destined to command dancefloors and capture minds wherever it is received.
lyrics
Who could she be
this fantasy
Into the beat she glides
Who is that girl
She looks so free
On roller skates she glides
Could I be
Could I be
Could I be
Could I be
It's all up to me
What's left for you
It's all up to me
Got things to do
It's all up to me
What's left for you
It's all up to me
Got things to do
Is she for real
or make believe
Into the beat she glides
Who is that girl
She looks so free
On roller skates she glides
It's all up to me
What's left for you
It's all up to me
Got things to do
It's all up to me
What's left for you
It's all up to me
Got things to do
On roller skates
She glides
On roller skates

Transcendental travellers, bouncing ideas from either side of the Mersey, Transmission Towers stand
tall.
Forged from the underground, this two-piece, cosmic machine soul outfit made up of Mark Kyriacou and Eleanor Mante manoeuvres dynamically between interplanetary bass-heavy beats, stripped-back, odd-ball soul and highlife afro-futurism....more

No country connects the various strands of 20th century Afro-diasporic music & its 21st century derivatives like the UK, especially the veteran selectors with shelves of decade spanning vinyl. So take a trip with one of the UK's deepest collectors & finest DJs, the irrepressible Luke Una as he joins all sorts of dots, sharing hard won musical treasure to the mapless, making the old new & the new make sense - this is a frankly staggering selection of music TheSlowMusicMovement

I had never heard of Luke Una until 2022, when this fantastic compilation appeared on Mr Bongo.
The more you listen to it, the more you realize the exceptional quality of the work behind it... Ordinary Joe
Flush with lounge-ready arrangements and balmy, mid-tempo electronic grooves, Tom Lown's second studio album is pure Balearic bliss. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 17, 2022
