Few albums manage to evoke a time and place with such startling effect as the unlikely collaboration Leave the Bones (out August 6th), between the multi-generational Haitian band Lakou Mizik and Grammy-winning electronic music artist Joseph Ray.

Since its inception Lakou Mizik has sought to re-define people’s conceptions of Haiti through its music. The nine piece band, formed in 2010, is emblematic of the melting pot that is Haiti’s musical culture. Lakou’s figurehead, Sanba Zao, one of only ten original Sanba poets left, played a central role in Haiti’s Rasin (roots) movement of the 1980s which sought to re-imagine traditional Haitian Vodou music through radical experimentation with modern instruments. This spirit of Haiti’s rich musical history underpins Lakou Mizik today; a multi-generational genre-blending ensemble that plays traditional Haitian music with a punk energy and a deep sense of their heritage. 

Joseph Ray, a Grammy winner and founding member of the pioneering Platinum selling electronic music trio, NERO, had never heard of Lakou when he arrived in Haiti in 2015, having volunteered to teach a course at Haiti’s only music production and audio engineering school, the Artist's Institute. Ray stumbled on Lakou at a tiny beach side club in Jakmel; the scene that night was frenetic and ecstatic, evocative of the spirit of Ray’s early electronic music clubbing experiences. The band’s organic power entranced Ray, who saw the possibility of merging his cinematic electronic production style with Lakou’s own traditional dance rhythms. Their subsequent six year journey led to Leave the Bones, teaching Ray more about himself and music than any other period in his life.

Today, Lakou Mizik and Ray premiered the album’s debut single, ‘Ogou (Pran Ma Kwen)’, via NPR World Cafe, giving a telling look at what’s to come. Characterised by vibrant strings, traditional Haitian rhythms and a jubilant chorus, ‘Ogou (Pran Ka Mwen)’ is an impassioned plea to the Vodou spirit of Iron and War for protection from the brutality of life’s daily battles - “Ogou, you brought me here, take care of me.”

By way of preview, Leave the Bones weaves us through the euphoric swagger of No Rival!, to the bluesy beautiful melancholy of Lamizè Pa Dous (Misery Isn’t Sweet). It takes us to dance in the mystical underworld of Bade Zile (Under the Island), yet offers lessons for the living, reminding us we should not underestimate those who seem easy to walk upon on Zeb Atè (Grass of the Earth), and that we are all one people, Nou Tout Se Moun.

A showcase of fresh talent from the global electronic scene, Anjunadeep’s Explorations EP series returns for its eighteenth instalment, featuring VONDA7, Tagavaka, Denney, Cornelius SA & Sebee, SQL, Nacho Varela and Cruz Vittor.

Kicking off the compilation is Polish producer VONDA7 with ‘You’re My Swiss Watch’. Having garnered support from the likes of Sasha, Anja Schneider, Camelphat and Laurent Garnier, this new production is a confident fusion of uplifting vocals and bouncing basslines.

Following the release of ‘State Lines’ on recent label compilation Anjunadeep 12, Glasgow-based producer Tagavaka returns with ‘Sky’, showcasing his textured sound design that has earned him support from Adam Port, Lane 8 and Nora En Pure.

Next up, British DJ and producer Denney marks his Anjunadeep debut with ‘Kamikaze’. With releases on Hot Creations, Knee Deep In Sound and Rebellion, Denney delivers a hard-hitting deep house track. 

South African producers Cornelius SA and Sebee bring their melodic track ‘Silhouette’ to the EP, reaffirming why they’ve respectively been supported by Eelke Kleijn, Nick Warren and fellow countryman Black Coffee.

A skilful blend of evolving synths and intertwining melodies, Dutch producer SQL delivers ‘Lagom’ - a track first heard on James Grant's mix for Anjunadeep Edition #345. 

Closing the EP is the collaborative cut ‘Kush’ from Argentinian producers Nacho Varela & Cruz Vittor. Characterised by syncopated basslines and percussive-laden grooves, the duo demonstrate their long-standing chemistry as producers that have seen them release on labels including All Day I Dream and Shanti Radio Moscow.

Excuse us, we have to go to space now! Our gravity leads us, again, to a universe of emotions and flaws. The third installation of Mauerblümchen features a lustrous spectrum of everything that makes us who we are. Together, we explore the unlimited dimensions of space between notes, move in ellipses and circle the sun.
