“Lives Beyond Motion (Original Motion Picture Score)” by The Angel will be released in December.
Thirty years ago in Bristol, England, the groundbreaking jazzy jungle/dnb collaboration between Los Angeles-based The Angel, and Bristol duo, More Rockers – Rob Smith aka RSD (Smith & Mighty) and Peter D – was born. Angel brought the downtempo/jazz and trip hop with More Rockers bringing the double-time jungle and dub. Pictured (l-r) Peter D., The Angel, Rob Smith.
The recent Fabio & Grooverider (and the Outlook Orchestra: A History of Jungle and Drum & Bass), sold out event at the Royal Albert Hall in London, is a great example of just how much the drum & bass and jungle scene has grown from the 90s to this day!
Supa Crucial Recordings are re-releasing the Jaz Klash EP “Thru the Haze (Rewind),” with a new radio edit of the title track featuring the legendary Hammond B3 player, Brian Auger (pictured). The EP was originally released by Bristol’s Cup of Tea Records in 1997!
GAIA (Original Motion Picture Score) by The Angel lands in digital stores on December 20th, 2024. The arthouse film is a recipient of numerous film festival accolades with The Angel’s thematic score underlining the emotional journey of a young woman in crisis. Abandoned in the Arizona desert to face her demons, Emily is taken in by a Native American community where she must confront her past in order to build a new life.
“It was a unique experience to define the musical voice of this film because the score plays a lead character in many scenes. With very little dialogue in the film, I found myself delicately blending my score to work under the most subtle of natural desert sounds, yet also creating score to play front and center as the musical dialogue needed to carry poignant, evocative and emotional scenes. Director, Jason Lehel was able to take his unorthodox visual storytelling and execute it in such a powerful and impactful way, an impressive feat… and one of many reasons why I felt compelled to work on this moving project.” ~ The Angel.

60 Channels “How it Goes Down” feat Slimkid3 first appeared as a jungle track on the 1999 EP, “Give Me Your Love.”
Fresh for 2022, The Angel has given the song a downtempo, cinematic remix. Manipulating the distinctive vocals of Slimkid3 (currently touring with his legendary group, The Pharcyde), Angel has turned the upbeat, feel-good original into a downtempo gritty anthem.
