Back In Stock

Archetype is an exorcism of South London’s underground spirit. It’s a
sound-world which draws on its ancestral echoes as equally as it
captures the pulse of a city on the edge of evolution. The twelve-track
collaborative record is the product of two magnetised forces who should
almost repel: producer, composer and keyboard player Joe
Armon-Jones, and producer / DJ Maxwell Owin. At the fore of the scene
south of the river, they draw on different instincts, different disciplines,
different strengths - and converge them to make something which is both
challenging and startlingly fresh. Guest features on the record include
Lex Amor, Shabaka Hutchings, Fatima, Rocks FOE, O the Ghost, Mala,
Maysia Osu and YUIS.

Archetype is caught somewhere between the club and the bedroom,
both communal and intimate – something common to Joe’s world of
jazz, soul and improvisation and Maxwell’s, of the sprawling sounds of
hardcore continuum, from jungle to dubstep and drill. The duo were
entranced by the philosophies that bind these subcultural worlds together. Following their 2017 debut project Idiom, the
duo has gone from strength to strength having produced, written and collaborated with the likes of Ezra Collective,
Greentea Peng, Nubya Garcia, Oscar Jerome and Moses Boyd. The Archetype soundscape spans almost six years, its
beginning indistinct from Idiom’s end, but it required a suspension of reality that only lockdown could bring for the
project to take on a shape of its own.
