Into The Cosmos with Drum Dance - Threads Radio - 12-Oct-21

☀️ 'Zani!' is out now on 12" vinyl + digital ☀️

Listen to the full tracks and buy here: intothecosmosmusic.bandcamp.com/album/zani

"We kick the label off with our inaugural release from label head Drum Dance; an eclectic four-tracker opening with ‘Zani!’, an outernational cosmic head-nodder meets Chicago footwork influenced ode to the great Zani Diabaté. Low-slung Latin flavoured boogie number ‘Body Heat’ switches up the tempo but keeps those limbs moving with its percussive four-to-the-floor beat, steamy disco vocals and jazzy keys. 80s jazz Balearic goes to Kingston for a bass-heavy dub makeover on ‘Venus Dub 2’.

Signing things off is ‘Adan On Dòt Soley’, a personal dedication to the beautiful country of Gwadloup. A common farewell in the local tongue, it translates poetically as “until another sun”. The track begins with off-kilter spaced-out synths and emerges into a dubby percussive jam featuring the gorgeous keys of Andy Wileman. Field recordings capturing glimpses of birds singing, waves lapping and the sound of gwo ka on the beach close things out, until another sun."

For this month's show we handed the controls over to good friend and gifted artist and producer Ranga, otherwise known as Ol'. He treats us to a brilliant mix that takes us on a deep cosmic trip made up of 98% unreleased original productions and featuring vocals from collaborator Lea Lazelle. The music moves through spiritual ambient, oddball electronics and bass heavy percussive experiments, incorporating influences from jazz, techno, dub, jungle, ambient, electronica and all things inbetween. 

Ranga has become a well known presence in the scene in Liverpool over the years, helping to run the much loved Wide Open parties across the city and also for his involvement in the forward-thinking but now sadly missed music and arts community hub The Reeds. He currently holds down a monthly show on Liverpool's Melodic Distraction Radio and has a newly released record out now on Third Place Records.
