NEW ARTWORK FOR PEDESTRIAN AND 2ND DROP RECORDS

by jimmy turrell on Wednesday 10 July 2013





























I've just created this artwork for Pedestrian and the rest of the guys at 2nd Drop Records. 2nd Drop have released tracks from Ramadaman, Rusko, LV and South London Ordinance. 

The track is a Fela inspired slice of Afrobeat which mixes modern rhythms and sub base to produce something pretty unique. Heard it on Gilles Peterson's show last week and its also getting support from Dark Sky, Djrum and LV.

I wanted to give the artwork a slightly dark, sinister feel with an analog, hand-made aesthetic while still keeping the contemporary tone that runs through the music.Underneath the top (chosen) image are a few other options I gave to the label. Released on July 26th you can pre-order it from the label's website: http://www.surus.co.uk/2nd-drop-records/kalakuta-ndizi-22185.aspx
