Ninja Tune

Ninja Tune is an independent record label based in London, England. Established in 1990 by the duo known as Coldcut, Ninja Tune was created as a platform to release underground music free from the constraints of major labels. Inspired by a visit to Japan, Coldcut sought to pioneer the emerging hip-hop/electro scene of the eighties.

The label's success can be attributed to its constantly growing roster of diverse artists and their innovative approach to music and multimedia. With the combined expertise of Black and More, along with the graphic vision of Openmind and sound business practices, Ninja Tune has become known for producing quality music while providing unparalleled support to its artists.

Notable releases include DJ Food's 'Jazz Brakes' series, which showcased instrumental hip-hop cuts produced by Coldcut. Through their dedication to musical excellence and artist empowerment, Ninja Tune has solidified its position as a leading force in the independent music industry.

Evy Jane's frozen pop futurism sits next to the likes of Clams Casino and The Weeknd. Evelyn Jane Mason and Jeremiah Klein met in Vancouver in 2011 and connected via a shared love of bass music, R&amp;B and pop. Though their work is collaborative, Jeremiah leans towards production, with Evelyn providing startling vocals and frank lyrics. The results are enthrallingly hazy. Inherently DIY, Evelyn and Jeremiah draw upon Vancouver's mystical aura to create a world that mirrors and magnifies it. From self-directed videos to hypnotic songwriting, Evy Jane is inspired by the hooks and melodies of R&amp;B as much as the sub low shudder of the UK's shifting bass music spectrum and the ebb and swell of tidal synth washes and grainy atmospherics. Title track 'Closer' draws the listener into its swirling electronic textures, catchy melodies and bass. The effect is to be caught helpless in its current, and the combination with the song's lyrical plea for further closeness is heady. 'Nothing So Great' is a simply magical combination of synths rising gradually from heavy to urgent with commanding vocals describing the dark aftermath of sex. 'Sosoft' is future R&amp;B that charts the fear and wonder of romance via fathoms-deep bass and utterly beguiling vocals, dark veins spreading through lullaby softness. Final track 'Worry Heart' ventures into dubbier territory, a recollected vision of failed reassurance seeing Evelyn's vocals soar: "You are so damn fair. With your anchors gone, you are floating too free". The beautiful Closer EP vinyl format features artwork by the amazing Leif Podhajsky.
