Esa & Kamazu - Shukuma EP

A1. Esa & Kamazu - Shukuma (Original)
B1. Esa & Kamazu - Shukuma (Dub)
B2. Esa, Kamazu & Dirty Bungalow - Muntu

AWEH is delighted to share an exciting new musical project and present the highly anticipated collaboration EP titled "Shukuma." This ambitious project unites the visionary label head, Esa, with the legendary South African Kwaito artist, Kamazu, hailing from the vibrant township of Soweto, Johannesburg. Crafted meticulously over two years, from 2020 to 2022, "Shukuma" is a testament to the limitless power of musical synergy and the awe-inspiring richness of South African culture.

The title track, Shukuma, is a prime example of the collaborative brilliance between Esa and Kamazu, blending future kwaito-inspired elements with acid house. It represents a sonic manifestation of their shared creative vision. The EP pays homage to Kwaito and its profound connection to Chicago House, which left a lasting impression on the South African music genre during the 90s. Additionally, the EP boasts another future Kwaito classic, Muntu. This infectious dancefloor banger showcases the continued creative partnership of Esa and Kamazu but also features the innovative contributions of Dirty Bungalow, infusing the EP with a fresh and vibrant energy into the mix. Muntu has already gained recognition and acclaim, having been featured in the esteemed podcast series, The Invisible Hand.

To enhance the complete auditory and visual experience surrounding Shukuma, Esa has collaborated with the exceptionally talented artists and friends Floating B_strd and Sanoy. Together, they have crafted an exquisite piece of art that encapsulates the very essence of the EP. The final artwork will be unveiled on the official release day, building anticipation and intrigue. This unique fusion of music and visual art adds depth and excitement to the project.

"Shukuma" transcends being a mere EP; it invites listeners on an journey that celebrates the profound talents of Esa, Kamazu, and the creative minds that contributed to its realisation. Through the fusion of traditional Kwaito elements and contemporary influences, this release truly showcases the artistry behind the music. In an era dominated by recording reissues, "Shukuma" emerges as a standout, embodying the fusion of artistic expression and cultural exploration.

Sneaker DJ has released about 50 records of chicago, Italo and synth. His latest record is the upcoming first 12" on Mattoni Pazzi - a remix EP and collaboration with @scannoir : GOTT - Mutatio (https://soundcloud.com/mattonipazzi/sets/mps002-gott-mutatio). 

He shared with us his set from Cosmic Deluxe - a festival for disco diggers and left-of-center live acts; this summer held 50km East of Berlin towards the Polish border. The amazingly intimate and open festival was hosted by the lovely Wahid Paradis (@wahidsolh) and his friends (shout outs!). Cosmic Deluxe is deriving its spirit from Camp Cosmic  since it was invented by Albion in Sweden on the occasion of his birthday. 

"Returning to a Cosmic fest after last year's hiatus left me with one big question - what to play? The 7" collection didn't grow considerably in the last 2 years.
So I picked the records that grew accumulated since I played a darker set - well ... as Dunkeltier in 2016. Not particularly "Cosmic" either. But remarkably psychedelic - not only because of the Timothy Leary citations - and therefore in the Cosmic tradition in a wider sense. It's clashing here and there - the typical friction I accept, I am even seeking for in my sets ever since (or at least since the Disco Train is rolling on Rat Life 1 in 2013). Far from synced, generic patterns the mix is challenging you with disharmonic dubbing, dares to layer badly edited originals (comparable to disco records "without a click") and even entirely different metra. Not mentioning the hard to grasp sunless tunes before I blend into more celestial realms.

I don't offer a tracklist, but I wanna point you on two tunes by the fabulous label Moonwalk X - run by the equally genius and adored DJ turning head by shouting his name Cid Hohner (@cidhohner)."

Don’t really know what to say about this one fr fr, but maybe I do have something to say. Always wanted to see Glu go off tits in front of a real live audience and finally it happened. This was to be realized ever since seeing him repeatedly and obnoxiously dropping wonderwall into a rogue set at the infamous 'brucensauna' kick-ons (if you know, u know) much to the dismay of the DJs in the room. Looks of both horror and awe filled the room and I myself took delight upon dat. Glu World Order! It was funny as fuck seeing Glu with his signature double plats channeling Pippi Long Stockings and his stupid Paul Van Dyke "I <3 NY" t-shirt, deploying funk bomb after bomb, after building some tension through stripped back dubby-tech-rollers at the beginning of the set, Glu showed his hand & got the place was jumpin’ jumpin' and I’m kinda still recovering from all that noise. “Somebody call the doctor, cos it's sick cunce” Glu Quote

Alek Lee is back on Antinote to release his debut LP ‘You’. Covering 18 songs and crafted in the producer’s studio over the past few 4 years, the Tel Avivian has swapped the misty aura of his first two EPs for a smoked out haze. ‘You’ effortlessly blends digi-dub, boogie, and yacht rock to
create a washed out, dub-pop sound befitting of its place of recording sat at the edge of the desert and the sea.
If Lee’s earlier works were defined by brooding downtempo beats with kids television vocal samples sprinkled amongst them, then the album hears the producer open himself up to the process of the singer-songwriter, getting behind the microphone and optimistically speaking
words of his own. But perhaps that may be put too bluntly. Fankly, Lee fluidly moves between crooning, whispers, gasps all the way to full on ballad style singing effortlessly and with ease. His newly develop vocal experiments are too supported by an impressive array of collaborators which can be found in the LP’s liner notes. These collaborations also help to mix far-flung musical styles into the LP. For instance, take Kol Hayom featuring Keren Ilan. It’s a laid-back tune that would sit comfortably beside Rita Lee tropicália. Or Love To Puff You Baby featuring $hkuro, which upends Donna Summer’s bodily groove into a heady bop.
‘You’ is a testament to Alek Lee’s prolific exploration of his own brand of dub: shimmering off-beat guitars, low-fidelity beats and deep grooves. Oh and always a melodica line found somewhere amongst it.

The Australian native and co-founder of mind expanding imprint Multi Culti began his voyage into production in the noughties as Gus Da Hoodrat, part of the party-starting Bang Gang crew. After a brief hiatus from music he returned as Dreems, and with that a more organic psychedelic approach to DJing and producing.

This deep natural approach is mirrored in how he runs Multi Culti with fellow DJ and friend, Thomas Von Party. Since starting the imprint in 2013, the pair have cultivated a striking visual and audio aesthetic, becoming flag-bearers for kaleidoscopic pan global sounds.

Under the apricot tree w/ Nathaniel - September 7th 2023

Nuggets born in the Netherlands. He got interested in electronic music at a young age, after which he became an active clubber and started digging for vinyls. Nuggets started picking up gigs in and around Amsterdam. At first, DJing was a hobby for him, but when COVID started, he looked at it from a different angle, started a channel, and received a lot of love, support, and recognition from around the world.

Hey, we did a little pause, but right now we are bursting into your ears with a new mix from @travis_alisa!

Very dynamic and multi-genre selection, which impressed us with the quality of the selected music. Alice added that she recorded this last winter, at that time the mix reflected her mood as much as possible. By a strange coincidence, this hour of musical reflection fell into our hands, when Alice feels the same as when recording the mix.
