Zone 6 Agege - the album title, K.O.G. shares, refers to a little coastal suburb in Accra the capital of Ghana, where he “grew up and the vibe, culture and social structures enhanced and developed my creativity and love for art,” adding that the album is his “ode or a tribute to my nature, nurture and future” – is his first solo release for Heavenly Sweetness. It was recorded in November, 2020 at Yellow Arch studios (Sheffield) by David Haynes and produced by Tom Excell and Guts. Two years ago, K.O.G. released Wahala, Wahala (the album title, Swahili for trouble, or problem, also on Heavenly Sweetness) with The Zongo Brigade. Zone 6 Agege is a dramatic development: as much homage to the Accra-born artist’s musical roots, as an expansive engagement with music of the Black Atlantic, most notably hip-hop and dub/reggae.

Blue mode representing perfectly the Soul Jazz and Hammond Funk scene today, gets his name directly from one of Reuben Wilson’s album. Reuben Wilson one of the most prolific organist in the late 60’s early 70’s contributed to the spreading and recognition of this music ! Blue mode is a summary of all this musical legacy. Groove, Groove and even more Groove !Space Race is their first album recorded fully analog live in their own studio in Madrid like back in the days.

La jeune chanteuse congolaise dévoile en ligne "Mabanzo", un premier album bigarré à découvrir en écoute intégrale.Juanita Euka est une mappemonde à elle toute seule. Née au Congo à la fin du siècle dernier, la jeune chanteuse a très tôt déménagé à Buenos Aires où les rythmes latins ont alors baigné son enfance. Nièce du géant de la rumba congolaise Franco Luambo, cette vingtenaire charismatique a développé instinctivement une approche fusionnelle de la musique, un sillon qui s’est creusé lors de son arrivée il y a quelques années au cœur du bouillonnant melting-pot londonien. Là-bas, elle élargit sa palette au contact du grime, de la soul et du jazz, mais aussi en renouant avec ses racines latines auprès de plusieurs formations cubaines et colombiennes.Remarquée il y a trois ans au micro de l’incandescent London Afrobeat Collective, Juanita Euka a vu sa course freinée, comme tant d’autres, par la situation sanitaire qui l’a forcée à reporter sine die la sortie de son premier album baptisé Mabanzo chez les Anglais de Strut Records. Cette petite maison spécialisée dans les pépites oubliées avait pourtant eu du flair en offrant la liberté du studio et l’aide du producteur dubstep Greg Sanders à cette jeune artiste qui n’en demandait pas moins, et qui a finalement profité des derniers confinements pour signer un disque à la croisée de mille chemins.Juanita EUKAMabanzoStrut
Married around a shared love of machine-led funk, outsider soul, 70s/80s nautica and 21st century basement disco, Bright & Findlay (formed of multi-hyphenate James Alexander Bright and Groove Armada's Tom Findlay) are set to release their debut album ''Everything Is Slow'' via AOTN and is packed from front to back with sunshine boogie, cosmic disco and lashings of Balearic funk.
