Belgian-Caribbean provocateur Charlotte Adigéry and her long-term musical partner, Bolis Pupul release their phenomenal debut album Topical Dancer via Soulwax’s iconic label DEEWEE.
 
Cultural appropriation and racism. Social media vanity. Post-colonialism and political correctness. These are not talking points that you’d ordinarily hear on the dancefloor but Charlotte and Bolis have ripped up the rulebook with their debut record. Featuring standout singles ‘Blenda’, ‘HAHA’, ‘Thank You’, ‘Ceci n’est pas un cliche’ and today’s focus track ‘Making Sense Stop’, Topical Dancer - which cements Charlotte and Bolis as a duo under both their names for the first time and is co-written and co-produced by Soulwax – is both a triumph of kaleidoscopic electro-pop and “a snapshot of how we think about pop culture in the 2020s.”

LNR - Work It To The Bone

Available now from : http://www.zrecords.ltd.uk/new-releases

This new version of Weekend harks right back to the Phreek original from 1978 with beautiful orchestration, live percussion, subtle electronics and all the other ingredients of the classic disco sound.

Add in a echo heavy dub and you've got a crowd pleaser with more panache than most.

Dare You Not To Dance

I love all different genres of music and I like to try to play connect the dots in musical interludes and influences as queer child of the great and wide African Diaspora.


Biography
My love affair with music began when I was just a kid. Living with a father who was a musician, he fostered an interest in a wide spectrum of musical genres from the time we could crawl.
    When I was a teenager, I got into making mix tapes for friends and myself. Music inspired me and was my rock when I came out as a queer teen. One Friday night I had the opportunity to play some music at my queer youth group's coffeehouse. It ignited something in me and I decided this was something I 've got to do.
    For a couple of years due to the lack of opportunities I was relegated to making mix tapes and the coffee house nights. I moved to Toronto in the mid 1990's and stumbled into a wonderful place called CKLN 88.1 fm. The station offered training workshops in being a technician and on-air programming. I was soon volunteering there as a tech and doing the occasional on-air fill in. To my good fortune a slot opened on air and soon I was programming a weekly show with Karen Augustine called B.A.S.S (blak Afrikan sistas of soul).
    
    From spinning on air I was asked if I would play a few gigs. I accepted it with joy and have been creating vibes since then. After a year and half on B.A.S.S, I moved onto my own show on CKLN - RedLight Special (Tuesday's 12:30 A.M. -2:30AM) and then now Afrotransit(Thursday’s 5:00 P.M. - 7:00 P.M) I continued with Aftrotransit on radioregent when CKLN folded.  I am no longer on Radio Regent  but will have a Podcast coming soon!

Personal Information
zest for life and a uncanny knack for stepping in muddy
I get great joy of seeing people respond and participate in whatever fashion they may choose. I like my music to reflect the diversity of the community I live in for me that means pushing the boundaries of race, sexuality and gender. It is how I live .... It is how I play. The key to this is to reach higher and respect always
