His signature sound has caught the attention of the mainstream while continuing to inspire the underground. Since 2023's El Michels Affair \u0026amp; Black Thought album Glorious Game, Michels has been busy producing records for other artists; Norah Jones' Grammy winning Visions, Clairo's Grammy nominated Charm, Kali Uchis' \"Moonlight\", as well as albums for labelmates Brainstory, Derya Yildirim \u0026amp; Grup Simsek, Thee Heart Tones, and Liam Bailey. His new album 24 Hr Sports marks the highly anticipated return to recording under his own moniker, El Michels Affair. 24 Hr Sports was inspired by the fashion and graphic design of '80s \u0026amp; '90s Sports Illustrated magazines, MF DOOM's Special Herbs albums, the sample sources used on them, and gospel music a la Pastor T. L. Barrett. The sum of those influences with Michels' impeccable creative touch prove to be the recipe for an instant classic that will surely be one of the most heralded releases of 2025. The album opener \"Drum Line\" is an anthemic, uplifting tune with marching band drumming and thundering brass arrangements that command undivided attention and set the tone for what's to come. 24 Hr Sports sees a significant departure from the largely instrumental music of the El Michels Affair catalog with a roster of vocal features that manages to mirror the undefinable genre of his music. The first one on the album is \"Mágica\" which features Brazil's Rogê. He takes the already pumping energy of the track over the top with his fútbol inspired lyrics. Moving from Brazil to Ghana, \"Say Goodbye\" features Florence Adooni who touts her individuality with an effortless swag jumping between Frafra and English, telling it like it is in the earworm chorus, \"never gonna find a girl like me... \". Labelmate and world renowned trumpeter from The Roots, Dave Guy joins the '70s groove of \"Oakley's Car Wash\" with his distinct horn lines before the track switches lanes, closing with a dubby outro. From raucous to serene, \"Anticipate\" featuring Clairo picks up on the musical synergy between her and Leon that created 2024's Charm album. Clairo rides signature EMA arrangements perfectly as she pines for an unattainable love over the band's airtight instrumentation. \"Eastside\" is a song that could soundtrack a sunrise over the ocean, putting Leon's tasteful use of space and arrangement on a pedestal. By way of Japan, The Suginami Children's Choir join in on the lush \"Clean The Line\" singing a song about the moon, the sun, and birds. Next, \"Cortex\" kicks in the door with gritty distorted guitars and thundering drums that puts a moment of pure cinematic intensity in the middle of the album. Leon himself handles lead vocals on \"Shining,\" a song about looking for a friend to share the joys of a sunny day with. The universally adored Shintaro Sakamoto is featured on \"Indifference\", a swanky tune built on bouncing basslines and flute chops. Shintaro uses the arrangements to go from singing to speaking, musing over a fleeting love. The Grammy winning duo of Norah Jones and Michels reunite on \"Carry Me Away\" with Jones' honeyed vocals soaring over a track that is hard to place but easy to love. Leon leans into El Michels Affair territory on the tune that sounds decidedly different from the Norah Jones records he has produced. \"Take My Hand\" puts gospel influence front and center with the Fabulous Rainbow Singers choir on the chorus and a saxophone solo from the late great Rahsaan Roland Kirk. \"Open Season\", a mid tempo, piano driven number with group vocals chanting \"we want the gold, we want the gold... \" could soundtrack a slow motion highlight reel, while the aptly titled album closer \"Victory Lap\" is a dreamy euphoric wind-down worthy of the record that just finished. When all is said and done, the trophy on the cover of the album speaks volumes. El Michels Affair is champion sound and 24 Hr Sports hammers that home.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrumline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMágica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 HR Sports Theme No. 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSay Goodbye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOakley's Car Wash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnticipate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEastside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean the Line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCortex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 HR Sports Theme No. 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndifference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarry Me Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake My Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen Season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVictory Lap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 349223013320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Big Crown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.5.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"El Michels Affair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58253806108753,"sku":"35707","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/4438281-3409433.jpg?v=1759466477"},{"product_id":"el-michels-affair-say-goodbye-b-w-magica-lp","title":"Say Goodbye B\/W Magica [7\" Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003eEl Michels Affair pulls two standouts from his forthcoming 24 Hr Sports album and presses them on a sureshot two-sider 7\".The A side \"Say Goodbye\" is an instant hit with bouncing basslines \u0026amp; drums that carry the infectious and endearing vocals of Ghana's own Florence Adooni.

Churning out classic records since then for the likes of Lee Fields, The Arcs, The Shacks, and tons more, it is clear that EMA's signature sound is stronger \u0026amp; sharper than ever. This time, in addition to re-interpreting the Wu compositions for a live band, EMA pays homage to the production and sonic fog that makes a RZA beat so recognizable. Producer and bandleader Leon Michels recorded the album completely analog, sometimes hitting 6 generations of tape before it was ready for mixing, giving the Return to The 37th Chamber it s own hazy sound. Adding to the unique fidelity, the record is laced with psychedelic flourishes, John Carpenter synths, heavy metal guitars, triumphant horns, and traditional Chinese instruments that make up for the lack of the Wu's superlative vocals. From start to finish it's a dark trip that walks the line between RZA's timeless hip-hop aesthetic and the cinematic soul EMA has become known for. El Michels Affair tackles some classics like 4th Chamber and Wu Tang Ain't Nuthin to Fuck Wit, as well as some deeper cuts like Ol Dirty Bastard's Snakes, Raekwon's Verbal Intercourse, and Shaolin Brew, Wu-Tang's contribution to the St. Ide's Hip Hop endorsement campaign from 1994. This time El Michels brings some of the Big Crown family along for the ride. Lee Fields handles vocal duties on Snakes and is joined by Shannon Wise of The Shacks for their version of Tearz, which pays as much homage to the Wendy Rene sample as it does to the Wu-Tang Clan. Lady Wray makes an appearance on the cover of Method Man's hit, All I Need, lending her vocal prowess to what gave the Wu one of their biggest hits of all time. Interspersed throughout the record are some original interludes that are like the rug that ties the room together, giving Return To The 37th Chamber a cinematic narrative that makes it a proper El Michels Affair record and not just a collection of covers. From the music to the presentation, this album is a perfect example of what can only be achieved through diversity. The end result is as much a kaleidoscope of influences and multiculturalism as the city it was recorded in. El Michels Affair is once again, sounding out the city that raised them, pulling elements of art and culture from across the country and around the globe to create an album truly unique in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4th Chamber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIron Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShaolin Brew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePork Chop Express\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSnakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrums For Sale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShadow Boxing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSipped Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTearz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerbal Intercourse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWu Tang Clan Ain\u0026amp;#39;t Nuthing Ta F\u0026amp;#39; Wit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou\u0026amp;#39;re All I Need\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe End (Eat My Vocals)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(Bonus Track) Iron Maiden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 349223001716\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Big Crown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.14.17\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"El Michels Affair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58253958021201,"sku":"148508","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/3178343-2689006.jpg?v=1759468170"},{"product_id":"el-michels-affair-enter-the-37th-chamber-gold-vinyl-lp","title":"Enter the 37th Chamber (Gold Vinyl) [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe world moves faster than ever these days, and even in the digital age, things can always be counted on to go in cycles. Despite all of the advances in computer recording technology, home studios, and electronic instruments, there is a flourishing interest in analog recording techniques and in recreating the mood and sound of vintage soul records. With one foot in the past but their eyes firmly set on the future, El Michels Affair are among the leaders of a resurgent funk \u0026amp; soul movement from New York City that's sweeping both the music community and the charts. Led by saxophonist\/organist Leon Michels and producer\/engineer Jeff Silverman, El Michels Affair began as a loose collaboration of session musicians (including members of top-selling acts Sharon Jones \u0026amp; the Dap Kings, the Budos Band, and Antibalas) that looked to blend some of the vibrant quality of soundtrack records with the recording aesthetic of early reggae, and the rawness of 60's rock-they called it 'Cinematic Soul.' This delicate balance was evident on their 2005 debut album Sounding Out the City, which earned critical acclaim and acted as the inaugural full-length release for Michels and Silverman's burgeoning label Truth \u0026amp; Soul (also the moniker for the duo as a production team). The buzz generated from the album and a series of moderately successful 7\" vinyl singles from Truth \u0026amp; Soul led to an invitation by Toyota's Scion division for El Michels Affair to accompany the rapper Raekwon of Wu-Tang Clan for a promotional concert. As avid Wu-Tang fans, not only were the band leaders thrilled with the opportunity, but Michels found that the 'Cinematic Soul' sound was consistent with the moods of RZA's gritty soundscapes on the classic Wu-Tang releases. The concert was such as success, El Michels Affair went on to play several more concerts nationwide backing Raekwon and other members of the Clan, and the shows led to the recording of two smash 7\" singles featuring instrumental reinterpretations of the Wu-Tang classic songs \"C.R.E.A.M.\" and \"Bring Da Ruckus.\" The singles combined to sell an extraordinary amount of over 7,000 units worldwide, and their success led to a contract in 2007 with indie hip hop powerhouse Fat Beats Records to record an entire album of Wu-Tang Clan interpolations entitled Enter the 37th Chamber. Since the contract was inked, a worldwide explosion of retro soul led by Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, and Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings has transformed the pop music landscape, and the Truth \u0026amp; Soul production duo have been in strong demand, recording with everyone from breakthrough Grammy-nominated artist Adele to punk rock innovator Iggy Pop. They've been commissioned for official remixes of Amy Winehouse and Dinah Washington (for the popular Verve Remixed series), and produced for Australian multi-platinum acts Jet and Gabriella Cilmi. Despite the eclectic group of clients for the Truth \u0026amp; Soul production company, El Michels Affair continued to build an audience within the hip hop community. A track from Sounding out the City was sampled for Ghostface Killah's 2007 track \"Shakey Dog Lolita,\" and a horn part written and performed by Michels (for Menahan Street Band) was famously lifted for Jay-Z's smash single \"Roc Boys.\" Truth \u0026amp; Soul also worked in the studio on original productions with multi-platinum producer Just Blaze (T.I.'s \"Live Your Life,\" Jay-Z, Usher). With their increasing presence behind the scenes in the industry, El Michels Affair looks to have their status as recording artists rise significantly in 2009. With the release of their finally-completed album Enter the 37th Chamber, they can finally step out of the shadows of the retro-soul trend and establish their status as one of the most exciting and versatile bands in modern recorded music.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuel of the Iron Mics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuel Of The Iron Mics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC.R.E.A.M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC.R.E.A.M.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMystery of Chessboxin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMystery Of Chessboxin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan It All Be So Simple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan It All Be So Simple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUzi (Pinky Ring)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUzi (Pinky Ring)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterlude\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterlude\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlaciers of Ice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlaciers Of Ice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCherchez la Ghost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCherchez La Ghost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCriminology 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCriminology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeaven ; Hell 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeaven \u0026amp;amp; Hell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBring Da Ruckus 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBring Da Ruckus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtect Ya Neck 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtect Ya Neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncarcerated Scarfaces 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncarcerated Scarfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimmy Shimmy Ya 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimmy Shimmy Ya\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutro 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Untitled] 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Untitled] 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Untitled] 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Untitled] 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Untitled] 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Untitled] 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Untitled] 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Untitled] 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Untitled] 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Untitled] 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Untitled] 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Untitled] 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Untitled] 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Untitled] 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Untitled] 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Untitled] 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Untitled] 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Untitled] 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Untitled] 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Untitled] 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Untitled] 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[Untitled]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 659123512718\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fat Beats\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.17.09\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"El Michels Affair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58254019493969,"sku":"203524","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/1532731.jpg?v=1759468833"},{"product_id":"el-michels-affair-24-hr-sports-lp","title":"24 Hr Sports [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eLeon Michels has quietly become one of the most sought-after producers in music. His signature sound has caught the attention of the mainstream while continuing to inspire the underground. Since 2023's El Michels Affair \u0026amp; Black Thought album Glorious Game, Michels has been busy producing records for other artists; Norah Jones' Grammy winning Visions, Clairo's Grammy nominated Charm, Kali Uchis' \"Moonlight\", as well as albums for labelmates Brainstory, Derya Yildirim \u0026amp; Grup Simsek, Thee Heart Tones, and Liam Bailey. His new album 24 Hr Sports marks the highly anticipated return to recording under his own moniker, El Michels Affair. 24 Hr Sports was inspired by the fashion and graphic design of '80s \u0026amp; '90s Sports Illustrated magazines, MF DOOM's Special Herbs albums, the sample sources used on them, and gospel music a la Pastor T. L. Barrett. The sum of those influences with Michels' impeccable creative touch prove to be the recipe for an instant classic that will surely be one of the most heralded releases of 2025. The album opener \"Drum Line\" is an anthemic, uplifting tune with marching band drumming and thundering brass arrangements that command undivided attention and set the tone for what's to come. 24 Hr Sports sees a significant departure from the largely instrumental music of the El Michels Affair catalog with a roster of vocal features that manages to mirror the undefinable genre of his music. The first one on the album is \"Mágica\" which features Brazil's Rogê. He takes the already pumping energy of the track over the top with his fútbol inspired lyrics. Moving from Brazil to Ghana, \"Say Goodbye\" features Florence Adooni who touts her individuality with an effortless swag jumping between Frafra and English, telling it like it is in the earworm chorus, \"never gonna find a girl like me... \". Labelmate and world renowned trumpeter from The Roots, Dave Guy joins the '70s groove of \"Oakley's Car Wash\" with his distinct horn lines before the track switches lanes, closing with a dubby outro. From raucous to serene, \"Anticipate\" featuring Clairo picks up on the musical synergy between her and Leon that created 2024's Charm album. Clairo rides signature EMA arrangements perfectly as she pines for an unattainable love over the band's airtight instrumentation. \"Eastside\" is a song that could soundtrack a sunrise over the ocean, putting Leon's tasteful use of space and arrangement on a pedestal. By way of Japan, The Suginami Children's Choir join in on the lush \"Clean The Line\" singing a song about the moon, the sun, and birds. Next, \"Cortex\" kicks in the door with gritty distorted guitars and thundering drums that puts a moment of pure cinematic intensity in the middle of the album. Leon himself handles lead vocals on \"Shining,\" a song about looking for a friend to share the joys of a sunny day with. The universally adored Shintaro Sakamoto is featured on \"Indifference\", a swanky tune built on bouncing basslines and flute chops. Shintaro uses the arrangements to go from singing to speaking, musing over a fleeting love. The Grammy winning duo of Norah Jones and Michels reunite on \"Carry Me Away\" with Jones' honeyed vocals soaring over a track that is hard to place but easy to love. Leon leans into El Michels Affair territory on the tune that sounds decidedly different from the Norah Jones records he has produced. \"Take My Hand\" puts gospel influence front and center with the Fabulous Rainbow Singers choir on the chorus and a saxophone solo from the late great Rahsaan Roland Kirk. \"Open Season\", a mid tempo, piano driven number with group vocals chanting \"we want the gold, we want the gold... \" could soundtrack a slow motion highlight reel, while the aptly titled album closer \"Victory Lap\" is a dreamy euphoric wind-down worthy of the record that just finished. When all is said and done, the trophy on the cover of the album speaks volumes.

A collection of unreleased tracks, alternate takes, and instrumentals from the Yeti Season recording sessions.EMA's blending their signature cinematic soul sound with influences from Turkish Funk and the grittiest of Bollywood soundtracks yielded an instant classic The Fader calls \"a carnival of dusty funk and soul\".The EP starts off with the unreleased gem \"Messy Grass\" whose synth intro, peppered with distant yeti cries, gives way to a tremendous backing track that Tamer Pinarbasi's Qanun dances over. On \"Cham Cham\" EMA invites Piya Malik to the microphone again to share her styled storytelling vocals over the instrumental track from Yeti Season's \"Perfect Harmony\". Where some of the tunes on the EP have vocals added, some of them have them removed letting the band take center stage; \"Poison Song\", \"Uncut Gem\", \"Smoked\", and \"Progress\" are all instrumen- tal here giving them a wholly different energy than the vocal versions.The EP is being released with two different covers, each one has two paintings from different Ghanaian mobile cinema artists commissioned through Chicago's Deadly Prey Gallery and are interpretations of the original album artwork. One version is paintings by Stoger and Heavy J, who also contributed cover paintings to the Return To The 37th Chamber album.

From the crack of the first snare this one sinks it's teeth in you. The backing music simultaneously has the swag of the darker side of Wu Tang as well as the light hearted bounce of a cartoon theme song. Piya Malik's vocals dance all over the tune, cementing Murkit Gem as an unlikely but undeniable \"get to the dancefloor now\" record. The B side Cham Cham is a non album cut exclusive to this 45.

A collection of unreleased tracks, alternate takes, and instrumentals from the Yeti Season recording sessions.EMA's blending their signature cinematic soul sound with influences from Turkish Funk and the grittiest of Bollywood soundtracks yielded an instant classic The Fader calls \"a carnival of dusty funk and soul\".The EP starts off with the unreleased gem \"Messy Grass\" whose synth intro, peppered with distant yeti cries, gives way to a tremendous backing track that Tamer Pinarbasi's Qanun dances over. On \"Cham Cham\" EMA invites Piya Malik to the microphone again to share her styled storytelling vocals over the instrumental track from Yeti Season's \"Perfect Harmony\". Where some of the tunes on the EP have vocals added, some of them have them removed letting the band take center stage; \"Poison Song\", \"Uncut Gem\", \"Smoked\", and \"Progress\" are all instrumen- tal here giving them a wholly different energy than the vocal versions.The EP is being released with two different covers, each one has two paintings from different Ghanaian mobile cinema artists commissioned through Chicago's Deadly Prey Gallery and are interpretations of the original album artwork. One version is paintings by Stoger and Heavy J, who also contributed cover paintings to the Return To The 37th Chamber album.

This album takes the band's \"Cinematic Soul\" aesthetic literally and sends the listener on a journey through a whirlwind of moods and energies. With their 2005 debut album Sounding Out The City, EMA spearheaded an instrumental funk \/ soul movement that inspired a slew of bands and even lead to the creation of a few independent record labels. El Michels has since lent his signature sound to artists from Adele to Dr John, Lana Del Rey to Aloe Blacc, and a who's who list of others. In 2016 he co-founded Big Crown Records and has since produced the lion's share of it's output. A short stint as the touring band for Wu Tang Clan in 2007 led to the cult classics Enter The 37th Chamber (2009) and Return To The 37th Chamber (2017). Adult Themes marks the long awaited, highly anticipated return to an album of original compositions from El Michels Affair.In 2017 in between producing, playing, and recording on other artists' records Leon Michels began creating compilations of short interludes intended to be sampled by hip hop producers. Some of these wound up becoming songs by Jay Z \u0026amp; Beyonce, Travis Scott, and Don Toliver. These minute-long snippets were inspired by the dense moody work of '60s composers like David Axelrod, and Francois de Roubaix, as well as Moondog's brand of classical jazz. Michels was having so much fun creating these instrumental \/ orchestral nuggets that he decided to expand on some of the ideas and create what would become the soundtrack for a movie that has yet to be made, an imaginary film entitled \"Adult Themes.\" The album plays like the colors on an artists pallet. Songs like \"Rubix\" and \"Villa\" are densely orchestrated with the hard-hitting drums that El Michels Affair is known for. On \"Life of Pablo\", Leon's son makes his first appearance on record and intros a song with an epic arrangement and a moving mood. \"Hipps\" is a drum heavy ballad that could've easily fit on EMA's debut record, Sounding Out the City. Other compositions like \"The Difference\" and \"Kill The Lights\" are bare, melodic mood pieces with sparse drums and sophisticated chord movement. All of these tunes come together to make perfect backgrounds for dialogue and action.One of the beautiful things about instrumental music is that the listener can decide what the narrative is. With Adult Themes El Michels Affair has created a \"choose your own adventure\" in musical form.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnfant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdult Theme No. 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKill The Lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVilla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdult Theme No. 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife Of Pablo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdult Theme No. 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRubix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Swift Nap 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHipps 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMunecas 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdult Theme No. 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 349223009019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Big Crown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5.20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"El Michels Affair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58292035911761,"sku":"352807","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/3797832-2548828.jpg?v=1760738597"},{"product_id":"mr-brew-b-w-kodak-lp","title":"Mr. Brew B\/W Kodak [7\" Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile continuing his prolific output as a producer and musician for other artists, El Michels Affair treats us to a new two-sider of instant EMA classics.

The B-side \"Glaciers of Ice\" offers a deeper, melancholic interpretation of the hard-driving \"Cuban Linx\" banger, with a mood consistent to the A-side, as the drums take a comfortable backseat to the melodic guitars and punchy horn lines.

The background vocals contributions are amazing; Lady Wray and Kevin Martin from Brainstory to name a few. But alas, there's a new energy that shows up in the listen when you pair it down to the impeccable musicianship and Leon's tried and true \"Midas Touch\" production. Leon plays a ton of instruments across the album and is joined by the regular cast of heavy hitters; Homer Steinweiss, Nick Movshon, Dave Guy, Marco Benevento, Hether, and more. There is even a saxophone solo by the late, great Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Some would argue this is some of the best music being made by some of the best musicians of our time.

One version is paintings by Stoger and Heavy J, who also contributed cover paintings to the Return To The 37th Chamber album.
