Silent Nancy, Shaka The King – Tell Me What Side I’m On
(Spotify)

“A musically vibrant blending of a variety of genres including Hip Hop, Soul & Reggae that would be as much at home in Kingston as it would be in New York, or London. The message is clear ‘Tell Me What side I’m on?’ The answer equally as clear. Racism has no place in the World. ”

The singer Katie Burke wakes up sober and Skype’s with her fellow musician Rocksteady Fred in Sweden. Together they are the duo Silent Nancy and they talk about how to fill the upcoming album with fantastic music. The conversation will soon be about the injustices that characterize American society. Why do significantly more white’s than black’s survive Covid 19? Also, can something be done about the widespread racism within the police force?

Together with Shaka The King, the idea for the song Tell me what side I'm on was born. Shaka runs a vegan restaurant, stands on the barricade, gets his worst frustrations out as a boxing instructor and raps late at night at the toughest underground hip hop clubs in New York. He has no problem making a song that questions society. Tell me what side I'm on, is a mix of Hip Hop, Soul and Reggae. Katie's unic voice and Shaka's rap stand out in the support of the Black Lives Matters movement. Silent Nancy plans to release two more singles next spring and the album will be released in the summer of 2021!

About Silent Nancy
A Molocow Cocktail of emotions is thrown to the air in this song, For those who don’t know. Katie Burke grabs your heart and won’t let it go until she sings the last tone of this massive reggae / soul ballad. The riddim is actually built up on a reggae riddim but sounds more like an old school soul song when Burke completes the harmonies with her voice. This was the first song Rocksteady Fred and Katie Burke ever made together and the chemistry soon led to the making of two albums! The first Album will be released this summer while the second is still cockin…

Individualist – Lakydoe Bit
(Spotify)

“The slowly building rhythmic intro develops into an irresistible deep Afro House beat with a solid kick as the foundation to a multi layered euphonic collection of acoustic & electronic instruments, that are hit, shaken, scraped, strummed, blown or otherwise coerced into joining in the fun. The vocals are delightful, enhancing the whole vibe in a wonderful way.”

Individualist is an Afro-acoustic, deep house production duo based in Halle (Saale), Germany. Comprising Wayne from South Africa and Rob from Canada, the duo met by chance in front of the latter’s studio and decided to make electronic music together, before evolving into a proper live group and production duo. Their music is characterised by colourful, swinging house beats with deep roaring basses, earthy acoustic instruments and glitchy sonic landscapes - a culmination of Wayne’s deep roots in South African house music and Rob’s background in music studies and passion for raw analogue sounds. The beats and bass are created on an analog synth, while the guitars, keys, harmonica and vocals are recorded live, resulting in raw and honest house music with a decidedly indie aesthetic and a sound that is uniquely their own. Prolific producers, the duo have released dozens of tracks on various labels in Germany, England, Singapore, Dubai, Switzerland and the USA, including remixes from the likes of FKA Mash, ChronicalDeep, Gumz and Tahir Jones.

“Glory In the Meeting House” – Sandeep Das and Mike Block
(Video)

“I almost don’t know what to say about this wonderful, joyous uplifting piece of music except maybe “Wow! That was genuinely mind blowing!.” A cello played like a fiddle? Accompanied by tabla? How could that possibly work? Well work it did and then some! Apparently, a traditional Appalachian fiddle tune that to my ears, also had a distinctive Irish & Indian feel. A masterclass by Mike Block & Sandeep Das. I could almost taste the moonshine & I’m getting the album for sure.”

-Nagamag.com

GRAMMY-winning cellist Mike Block and GRAMMY-winning tablaist Sandeep Das have released “Glory In The Meeting House,” their first single from their upcoming album, Where The Soul Never Dies, due out June 11 release via Bright Shiny Things.

“‘Glory in the Meeting House;’ is a traditional Appalachian fiddle tune, learned via Kentucky fiddler Luther Strong, who recorded it for Alan Lomax in 1937. In addition to adapting the fiddle melody for the cello, I changed the tuning of my instrument to create low drone strings in the key of E, to broaden the rhythmic texture surrounding the melody. This track also marks the the first time in Sandeep Das’ career that he has experimented with using two separate Tabla’s tuned to different pitches, creating an untraditional percussive texture with multiple pitches. The energy of the piece captures the spontaneity and friendship Sandeep and I feel, as we learned from each other’s musical traditions.” — Mike Block

Kobi Jonz – DADA
(Video)

“Rhythmic work, whose musical structure is immediately captivating and does not let you go until the last second. -DADA-; brilliant and expressive song, like a bright star in your collection.”

“Ритмичное произведение, чья музыкальная структура мгновенно заводит и не отпускает до последних секунд. -DADA- блестящая и выразительная песня, как яркая звезда в вашей коллекции.”

-Nagamag.com

DADA meaning ‘good’ envelopes the idea of “manifesting into reality” characterized by the poetic image of a woman. A metaphorical representation of actions and reactions solidifies the ethic of doing good and receiving good.

https://www.instagram.com/kobijonz/

Kobi Jonz, best describes himself as making “conscious dance music”, feel-good music that reinforces a positive message. Moving to the United States from Lagos, Nigeria, Kobi did not so much discover music, he says, as music discovered him. His passion ignited by his force to bring his dreams to life fueled his music career.

His sound is full of life, spirit, and an energy that keeps you coming back for more. With influences like Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, Sade Adu, Damian Marley, and Burna Boy, Kobi’s music brings out in his listeners a vigor that can only be described as lust for life, hope, love, and self-motivation, wrapped in a zesty hip vibe that is fresh and genre-defying.

His lens into music is one energized by influence, as he sees music as a way to better people. This fresh perspective is Kobi’s way to spread the word that self-sufficiency in pursuit of one’s dreams is possible.
