These are a one off pressing never re pressed as a 45 so act quickly !
After releasing his semi-autobiographical album ‘Forty-Five’ in 2019, Bristol’s Boca 45 is about to embark on a brand-new project, starting with a new release on the 1st February 2020. His new Donuts series will see 5 limited edition (300 stamped & numbered) coloured vinyl 45s released throughout the year, and he’s kicking things off with the very aptly titled ‘Powerful,’ co-written by and featuring Hannah Williams on vocals.
Delving deep within the world of soul, breakbeat, hip-hop and everything in between, ‘Powerful’ is a real statement of intent from Boca 45, who plans on going in at full pelt from the get-go in 2020. Flexing his studio muscle as of late, the Bristol multi-instrumentalist and producer is demonstrating his unique ability to blend song writing and production in some of freshest sounds around. Featuring gnarly horn lines, percussive stabs and overflowing with groove, the foundations are perfectly laid for Hannah Williams’ undeniably explosive vocals to take charge. It’s no surprise Hannah’s work has been sampled by Jay Z on the Grammy-nominated track ‘4:44,’ or the fact that she’s also worked alongside Tyler The Creator, Guy Chambers and Pete Rock to name a few. On creating ‘Powerful’ with Boca 45,
Joining ‘Powerful’ on the AA side is ‘Sparky Evans,’ an effortlessly cool vintage hip-hop triumph that will have you moving your feet and nodding your head in no time. With another infectious vocal hook and breaks at their best, this is the perfect package to eliminate those January blues.
It’s now something of the norm for Boca 45 to be working with some of the biggest names in the business. His last album was released on Mass Appeal (home of Nas, J Dilla, DJ Shadow, Run the Jewels amongst many others), and his versatile sound often results in collaborating with a range of talent from across the globe. More recently those artists include; Sergio Pizzorno (Kasabian), MC Emskee and Louis Baker on his critically acclaimed single ‘Soul On Top.’ Bringing the studio to the stage, Boca’s eccentric and eclectic jukebox of sounds and styles has graced some of most prestigious venues in the world too, including Glastonbury, Boardmasters and a personal request from Banksy to play at the opening night of his Dismal Land Show.
A true testament to Boca 45’s vision, ‘Powerful’ destroys genre boundaries and showcases his need for all things MCing, graffiti-ing, breakdancing and DJing. A perfect blend of creativity that only ever has one outcome; straight from the heart, to the heart tracks made for dancefloors across the world. Whether it be in your bedroom or at the main stage of a festival, this is music for the people. On creating the Donuts project, Boca 45 added:
“With “2020 Donuts” my aim is to create a whole record from the 2 tracks released every other month throughout the year but keeping everything close nit (& limited) for my loyal wax customers.
With music streaming things can get lost and slip through the net, but I like to think that people still appreciate tangible vinyl releases and the fact that each one of these Donuts are LTD strictly to 300 copies and numbered hopefully make them extra special.
