Shokazulu

2000black — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 16:20:25 +0000

Strong music. Warrior stance.
Shokazulu is a collection of music that expresses the full range of defiance.
A 21st century rhythm experience set to explore the grooves. Using elements of all the dancefloor rhythms available, Shokazulu crafts a sculpture that reminds and surprises.
Like a new photo of an old face.

This project provides a springboard for fresh musical explorations to come.
Combining influence with innovation and always allowing raw emotion to drive the music.
Dancefloor grooves that defy categories, twisting and turning through dark and light.
Including the now legendary ‘Part 4’ and the incredible ‘Pie’ the demo that had audiences stop and clap in Tokyo and Sao Paolo.
This release will mark a crossover point in a musical freedom that has
been evolving out of the spotlight and is ready to be heard and felt
now more than ever. Another essential release from
the 2000 Black label

Tatham,Mensah,Lord & Ranks LP

Musical families always evolve along unusual paths. The synergy that brings people together can be places, circumstance, school, college & family. In the case of Tatham, Mensah, Lord & Ranks the unifying force has always been the love of music. Having worked together in different configurations since the late 90′s this musical collective has grown stronger through separate projects coming together to enjoy the process and results of creating music. In 2010 based in different countries the 4 musicians/producers met up and began the first of four recording sessions lasting a week of almost continuous music. Revolving seats at keyboard stations, drum kits, programming and more, created a stream of music connected only by the sense of joy. With a history that stretches from the structured worlds of sound systems and national orchestra’s to the chaos of night clubs and blues dances, TMLR have always drawn from a wide range of influences.Kaidi Tatham,Akwasi Mensah,Matt Lord, and dego Ranks have provided a link between their many musical worlds.

In transcending the limits of genre’s and the barriers of style the music
defies categories touching down in LA ’75, Kingston ’77, Rio ’80, ’83,
Accra ’98 to the world 2019 and yet never really leaving London is a
story many can identify with.
