 'Questions' features vocalist Monk's witty take on the courtship process, and the golden voice of Voodoo Dred on the hook. The new-school beat with its catchy synthesizer lines and swinging drums was produced by Mangohig and engineered by tzu's Count Bounce.

A preview of music from my forthcoming EP 'Half Light' on independent Melbourne label Oberon Records.

Half Light Ep Promo Reel

The stomping hip-hop joint ‘In Signs’ is the soundtrack to a dystopian future raging against the conservative mind state and evoking the heroes of Monk and the veteran urban poet Elf Tranzporter (Metabass’n’Breath, Combat Wombat).

AFRIK FUTURISM - VIBRATIONS

Mista Monk in the mix, a lil splash of foundation Afro-Beat then going in deep on some Afro-House vibes from the likes of Oveous, Freddy Da Stupid, Boddhi Satva, Atjazz, Heavy K and more... Movements we make!

Mista Monk Afro-Movements 1

This song is 'For...' the lives and memories of Sam 'Chap One' McNulty and Slycoh Marowa and all those who have left us way too soon. ‘For...’ combines spacious future jazz aesthetics, serious bass pressure, hauntingly beautiful vocals from Ethiopian singer Enushu Taye and deep trumpet lines by Ian Dixon both from Ethio-jazz purveyors Black Jesus Experience - frequent collaborators with Mulatu Astatke. Lyrically, it’s a wistful, nostalgic musing on the passing of friendships, with Monk transforming the personal into something hauntingly universal.

For…

That lush tropical hip-hop head nodding bounce, from the island of Zanzibar to the world! Australian emcees Mista Monk of Black Jesus Experience & Elf Tranzporter - of the legendary Combat Wombat crew, join forces with one of South Africa's finest - Naked eYe. How you living? Me? “According to the beat of the rhythm...” chilling in Zanzibar, one of my favourite places in the world.
