Cycles (feat. James Mollison)
Footshooter

Footshooter drops the effervescent “Cycles”, a jazzy, broken beat odyssey featuring Mercury Prize-winning James Mollison of Ezra Collective, heralding his forthcoming album The Oasis out Friday 11th April. The album includes the previous singles “Here To Learn feat. Andre Espeut” and “Obelisk feat. Natty Wylah & brother portrait”.

Speaking on the track Footshooter says “Cycles began as a loop, and slowly built in scope and sense of space. I managed to catch James in the studio when he was in between touring with Ezra Collective, and he laid these sax chops in a few hours. James’s tone and ease on the sax is pure magic.”

James Mollison is the saxophonist in Ezra Collective, the groundbreaking London-based jazz ensemble. In 2023, the band made history as the first jazz act to win the Mercury Prize with their album Where I’m Meant to Be, which also reached No. 1 on the UK Jazz and Blues chart. Known for unforgettable live performances at venues ranging from Glastonbury to Wembley Arena and even on Strictly Come Dancing, Ezra Collective continues to redefine the jazz landscape.

Mollison’s saxophone playing brings effortless character, adding a layer of soul and fluidity to Cycles.

Footshooter’s production style takes in influences from broken beat, jazz, house, and more, working with rappers, poets and vocalists to create a soulful sound referencing the past while being firmly visionary in its approach. His musically diverse live band sets and DJ sets over the past eight years have taken him to Boiler Room London, Tate Modern, Alexandra Palace, The Jazz Cafe, and the Barbican Centre, as well as performances at Brainchild, We Out Here, and Love Supreme festivals.
