The new concept EP of Daniel Monaco is the story of a group of friends who have ventured on a mysterious Island with the only mission to enter its infamous Reptilian Club. The tracks are a mix of Disco, Tropical and Dub an obscure psychedelic trip performed and recorded live at Daniel’s studio, but the adventure is not over yet because Enter The Island is not only a long trip into a mystical place is actually also a Board Game for two to four players. The idea was born during the first lockdown. Due the big crisis brought by Covid-19 there were no chances to print vinyl for this EP therefore Daniel thought to design a game made exclusively for this concept, its rules are unique as well as its design reflecting perfectly the spirit of the music.

Alessandro Rosa is the artist who made the design, the BoardGame is the same size of a Vinyl cover made with Forex printed white on black. An unprecedented concept unique in its genre a the creative reaction against hard times.

Daniel Monaco -  Swamp Monster

UK to GH is a collaboration between British music producer Burland and Ghanaian vocalist Zongo Abongo. The EP is a standoff between Zongo’s background in Dancehall, Reggae, and Highlife, and Burland’s influence of UK Bass & Rave music.

The duo were introduced to each other by The Busy Twist at Meet Me There festival in Ghana (2018), and have been working together ever since. This project marks their third collaborative effort.

Burland’s previous work includes three EPs and a single with UK based Ghanaian talent K.O.G. Zongo Abongo has worked with numerous artists from the ‘Global Club’ music scene such as The Busy Twist, Thornato, and Ghetto Kumbé.

‘UK to GH’ is their first release on vinyl.

__________________________

Telephone No Wire is a melancholic Ghanaian Highlife song that sits on a 2-Step beat. The track features a wide pool of collaborators including Master Drummer Okoe Ashiboi, vocalist Adotey Johnson, and Horns & Keys player John Keneddy Ntumi ‘Long John’ (from Ebo Taylor’s band), in addition to the main artists Burland & Zongo Abongo.

Nyura is an Afro Club / Dancehall tune. It boasts a powerful vocal hook stacked with layers of harmonies and different voicings that glue together to form a rich wall of sound. Combined with heavy low end and hypnotic melodies, this track is a dancefloor winner, but also serves as a catchy bop to simmer down to. It is a song of love & desire sung in Twi (Ashanti) and the Dagbani dialects spoken by the Dagomba people in the northern part of Ghana.

Try To Test with its darker 2-Step beat, leans more towards UK Garage & Grime, whilst catchy vocal hooks meander seamlessly between Pidgin English and the Hausa language. Hints of Acid and Breakbeat sit amongst Djembes, Cowbells, and subtle Kalimba lines to form a balanced fusion between the softly textured African instruments, and the darker elements of UK Bass music. A simple meaning to the song is don’t stand in a far distance and assume what you don’t know. Get closer, see it, feel it, before coming to a conclusion.

Last Chance is a moody downtempo Breakbeat track, sharing similar qualities to Try To Test with hints of Acid & Rave. The track is nicely countered by Dancehall style vocals that bring life to the moody rolling breaks and gently lift the track leading into the drop.

Shika Shika is very happy to present the 4th edition of our Passages series dedicated to migration. This new volume features Alex Musatov

Alex Musatov is a violinist and singer based in Buenos Aires since 2011. Russian by birth and Argentinian by choice (although also having a grandfather who’s originally from Argentina), he started out as a session player moving freely across all kinds of musical generes (tango, indie, folk, punk, electronic) to this day appearing on around 100 records and touring in more than 20 countries around the globe. His anti-academic approach to violin-playing is driven by his urge to explore new musical horizons every day and is the reason he started writing songs exclusively for violin and voice mixing folk, gothic and neo-classical influences.
This collection of four musical moments is inspired by a bittersweet feeling of not knowing where you belong (Home), toxic relationships (Eye of the Storm), crossing all kinds of borders (Frontier), and dealing with hypocrisy (Kingdom of Dust).

All sounds without exceptions are done with violin and vocals.
Written and produced by Alex Musatov between january and july 2023 at his home studio.
Co-production by Barrio Lindo.
Mastering by Feco Escofet.
Artwork by Clau Smith.
Special thanks to Stephen Cuttriss and Christine Brebes for helping out with finishing touches on the lyrics, and to Tomi Lebrero for lending the microphone used for recording all the violins.
