New release out on Friday features a beautifully performed two piano collaboration between Lynda Cochrane and Judith Keaney, accompanied by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra (conductor: Jean-Claude Picard). The performance was captured in the RSNO’s state-of-the-art recording studio at City Halls Glasgow. This version presents a fresh adaption and reimagining of Ned’s piece ‘Halmahera’, originally featured on his highly-acclaimed album ‘Staffa’. Elegantly blending diverse cultural influences from British Minimalism and Brazilian rhythm to the vibrant sounds of 90’s piano house, the recording is co-mixed by Sir Robin Millar MBE, producer of Sade and Everything But The Girl.

Out today is Raflo's collaboration with the amazingly talented Diane Charlemagne and Mu51kman. A tribute to one of the most recognisable British vocalists of the post-rave era, lending her soaring, angelic voice to a classic piano house anthem, this track features a previously unreleased recording of her vocal from Raflo's studio.
Diane Charlemagne emerged as a defining voice in the 1990s, with her ethereal vocals on iconic tracks, most notably Goldie’s legendary cross over hit “Inner City Life”. Her collaboration with the Euro-dance group Urban Cookie Collective made her a staple of the pop charts , as they achieved two UK Top Five hits with ‘The Key the Secret’ and ‘Feels Like Heaven’ in 1993. That same year, Charlemagne contributed to Goldie’s single “Angel”, released under the name Metalheads, infusing emerging Jungle and the Drum n Bass scene with her soulful sound paving the way for Goldie’s debut album ‘Timeless’.
