Japanese 1LP Limited Edition [ONE COPY PER CUSTOMER] Release Date: 19/9/2025 Label: Rockwell Product Shop
Description
Manchester-based producer Mecca:83 unveils his long-awaited new album "Until Dawn," now available on vinyl. Rooted in jazz, soul, and golden-era boom bap, the 12-track project delivers a dramatic and deep journey through modern hip-hop, wrapped in a rich, contemporary texture.
The lead single "Don’t Stop" features heavyweight Detroit MCs Phat Kat and Guilty Simpson dropping powerful verses, while UK turntablist Jabba Tha Kut adds razor-sharp cuts that intensify the track’s impact. With a classic boom bap sound reminiscent of the '90s golden era, the track reflects Mecca:83's core sensibility and artistic roots.
The album also showcases a variety of guest artists who bring their own unique colors to each song. These include the futuristic jazz-hip-hop fusion of "Elevation" featuring jazz keyboardist Jonny Tobin, the introspective and poetic "Proof of Life" with New York lyricist Nardo Says, and the mellow soul of "Sober" featuring the delicate vocals of Ella Mae Sueref. "Midnight Run," featuring Lex (de Kalhex) of the French group Kalhex, adds yet another layer of international collaboration and sonic depth.
Produced, mixed, and arranged entirely by Mecca:83 himself, the album is infused with meticulous craftsmanship and a warm, organic feel throughout. Live instrumentation—such as Luman Child’s bass on "Silent Arrival," Donald Malloy’s trumpet on "Sober," and flute by Markita on "The Light Inside"—adds texture and depth to the grooves.
The album’s cover artwork is an original piece by Joel van der Knaap (Roam Comics), known for his graphic novel-inspired visual aesthetic. Released by rockwell product shop, the label behind the 2017 7-inch single "Let’s Get It" featuring Grap Luva (of InI) and the accompanying "Life Sketches Vol.3" project.
With a weighty analog sound, soul-stirring melodies, and thoughtful lyricism, "Until Dawn" stands as a future-forward soundtrack at the crossroads of hip-hop and jazz—crafted with care, purpose, and undeniable heart.
