"UK Producer, singer, and songwriter EBONY BONES! has a wide variety of influences..with a life purpose to reach her full potential and inspire others through the journey.."- JAY-Z (Life+Times)

"A beguiling blend of Afrobeat and the darker end of post-punk.." - THE INDEPENDENT

"Whether on stage or in the studio, EBONY BONES! is set to be a major player for years to come..." – NPR

Ebony Bones isn't really like other artists. Cee-Lo Green hand picked the London based singer to open his 2011 European tour, and her open minded approach has witnessed collaborations with musicians from India and West Africa - CLASH

"A formidable artist, wrestling out the cocoon of her influences.." - THE TELEGRAPH

"Ce nouvel album est rempli de morceaux tordus et chauds, bizarres et fascinants!" - LES INROCKS

"Think X-Ray Spex, Siouxsie & the Banshees, slammed against Afrobeat icons like Fela Kuti.. 'Behold, A Pale Horse', is chockfull of fiery, spirited anthems. Her grandiose vigor is eccentric, but completely contagious and dance-demanding.." - MTV

"EBONY BONES! is art-punk soul warrior!" – SPIN

"The British singer and producer with Punk attitude and Caribbean roots.." - VOGUE

"The British singer/songwriter/producer—once a classmate of Amy Winehouse and toured with Cee Lo Green—releases a feverish mix of punk, funk, and electro.. In the midst of the frenetic melodies always seems to lay a societal message and observation.." - EBONY Magazine

"Like Grace Jones crossed with Tina Turner, Karen O and MIA, the outlandish dynamo has made a name for herself supporting Cee-Lo Green working with artists such as Amadou & Mariam and Yoko Ono.." - THE NEW ZEALAND HERALD

Berättelsen om Bongo Drottninggatan

Det var en kall kväll i Stockholm när de första bongoslagen ekade mellan höghusen på Drottninggatan. Ingen hade planerat en konsert, men rytmen tog över staden som ett hemligt uppror. Mitt bland ljusreklamer, tunnelbanans dån och gatans eviga rörelse reste sig ett spontant jam – en ritual för de som vågade lyssna.

Bongos och congas blandades med elektriska riff som studsade mellan betongväggarna. Saxofoner började yla i motvindens tunnlar. Basen vibrerade som om hela Sergels torg förvandlats till en resonanslåda. Trummor smälte ihop med stadens brus – bussar, sirener, fotsteg – allt blev musik.

Det var som om själva Drottninggatan, med sin historia av fest, kaos och tragedi, släppte ut sin själ i ett febrigt samba-jazz-ritual. Rytmerna gick i cirklar, i kaotiska processioner, som en nattlig karnival som aldrig kunde stoppas.

Bongo Drottninggatan blev mer än en platta – det blev ljudet av Stockholm när fasaderna spricker och gatan själv börjar tala.

Chaos in the City Beat

"Hello Punks..!
While playing around with my loopstation with a very old and cracky Glenn Miller record, thought that this could do a nice teaser! Something that could open a dj set with a friendly mood! just two or three loops used, some noise from the record but still audible! any ideas to build it up more are welcomed!"
cheers!!

Depuis la sortie de leur premier EP, Le Monde, en 2009, ils se sont forgés une solide réputation en se réappropriant de manière très personnelle rythmes soul et electro.

Following on from the success of their debut LP 'La Belle Vie' from earlier this year, the French duo have been busy in the studio producing La Beat Tape. 20 tracks deep, the release is aimed squarely at the DJs, with a succession of guaranteed party-starters. This is rounded out with some typically quirky interludes, jazzy beat excursions and blissed out trip hop.
Souleance are producer Fulgeance (Musique Large / One Handed Music) and DJ Soulist (What The Funk Paris?). Since releasing their debut EP (Le Monde) back in 2009, they have built a solid reputation for their idiosyncratic take on modern beats. With fans including Gilles Peterson, Danny Breaks, Lefto and Mr Thing, their debut album was the culmination of 3 years of beat-making, touring, partying and drinking too much Pimms. Whilst other producers would rest on their laurels after releasing their debut, Souleance got straight back into the studio to produce La Beat Tape - their sole aim to create tracks that they would DJ with themselves. The result is 20 tracks of pure dancefloor fire peppered with a smattering of chilled, lounge tracks in classic Souleance style.
Like any classic beat tape, variety is the key, and Souleance do not disappoint. La Beat Tape takes in heavy Turkish breaks (Sauce Samourai), Hammond funk (L'insouleance), tripped out western cinematics (Tout Doux), brooding jazz (Kipseli Street Interlude), Shadow-esque breaks (Strongest Love), Just Blaze-style horn-heavy hip hop (Como Estan Bitches), 80s synth-hop (Cocktail Time) and much much more.
The release is available as a budget-priced download with a limited edition 7" containing four tracks that we feel will be most useful for the DJs. With artwork by long-term collaborator Alice Dufay, it's sure to join their previous vinyl releases as a genuine collectors item.
