A Sudaka completa 01 ano de música, sarrada e revolução e nós vamos presentear nosso público com 01 Compilação de músicas inéditas daqueles que passaram por nossas festas neste último ano! A nossa compila é uma celebração do diferente, do semelhante e do peculiar da América do Sul e dos sudakas. 

Desde o som sujo, nervoso e dançante que representa a Sudaka (UBUNTO, Salvador Araguaya, Laion) e a dupla Marginal Men (Enchufada-PT/SP), a seleção viaja brasil afora com Mauro Telefunksoul (Bahia Bass-SSA), FurmigaDub (Free Beats-SP/PB), AKA Lindgren (BSB), Rafael Ops (Criolina-BSB), Thiago Salvador (Pesadão Tropical-RJ), Nacho Libre (Tropical Twista-BSB) e busca no velho continente interpretações de nossa dance music moderna com Cigarra (Tropical Twista/Voodoohop-PT) e Bigote (Caballito Records-ES)

Lyrics by Red Robyn, Produced by Jaedon Daniel.

Red Robyn - Left Wing (Prod. by Jaedon Daniel )

Sometimes we just need to go back to the days we played on jungle gyms. 
To lose ourselves in the swings and to slide away from our present or past. 
To leave our burdens at the top of the ladder and to slide down to tranquility

All for the soul

Iglew & Gundam - Illuminated

We Are One

New EP from Ethyène showcasing a raising maturity in his discography. Drawing samples from library music, dub, soul and R&B, this record delivers everything House Music has to, deepness, groove, love and sincerity. No need to say that by launching a new imprint Ethyène decided to show a different side from his previous work. We can definitely feel it from the first second the record starts, with Static, mashing up samples from 80's dub music and west-coast funk to finally sound as a surprising modernized classic house anthem. The second track of the record 'Enove Lough' features a deconstructed and mysterious Rhodes loop delivering a smart groove until a delightful sexy vocal sample get in the mix to round off this deeper but easily danceable cut. The B-side of the record starts with 'Cape Town Mambo', a tune whose graceful horns loop keeps the listeners on an endless dreamy trip while its mid-tempo jazzy beat will have them hips sensually shaking without any doubt. The record has its consistency assured with ending on a 100 BPM powerful hip-hop beat with high-pitched and happy vocals as the Nirvana of this 4 tracks sensual and groovy journey.

For malombo drummer Thabang Tabane, rhythms bear no nationality and heed no gatekeepers. His career up to this point has cast him as a sought after hand drummer in South Africa, collaborating with masters of the country's contemporary and indigenous musical idioms.

While the contemporary and indigenous might be thought of as mutually exclusive, the very core of Tabane's musical precepts serve to counter that antiquated notion. 

His second single, Richard, titled after Cameroonian bass player Richard Bona, is a driving slice of updated malombo. A truncated, dubby bassline provides the footing for a nimble, reprised riff that meets its comeuppance in the song's climactic breakdown. Vocally, Tabane inserts himself in the song's meter, teasing out its melodic contours and later decoding its guitar phrases into lyrics about the state of black life in his country. 

As for the title, Richard Bona is a philosophical kindred spirit, that space where the elements and the environment are both the music and the inspiration.

The single, Richard, drops digitally on Friday, the 31st of August 2018.

The album, Matjale, drops digitally and on CD on the 14th of September 2018, with the vinyl coming out during the course of October 2018. Preorder available at https://thabangtabane.bandcamp.com/album/matjale

Black Bird ft Thabs & Sive

Morena Leraba is a Mosotho musician and shepherd from of Ha-Mojela in Mafeteng district, located south of Lesotho's capital Maseru. Leraba’s music (especially lyrics) is deeply rooted in Lesotho's traditional music, poetry, and it’s sub-genre, Famo, which was introduced as early as the 1920s when Basotho men were migrant workers in South African mines. However, the approach in the beat is significantly different as it hurls almost everything from Electro, Electronica, Afro-House, Folk, and Hip-Hop.

Leraba made his first appearance on the international scene in 2014 when he was featured in a song "Do You Know Know Lesotho" by a Cape Town/German band, The Freerangers. Carl McMillan, a filmmaker based in Lesotho was introduced to Leraba in the village of Ha-Nchela, in Berea district (where he's still based as a shepherd) and spotted his talent then. During the same time, he introduced Leraba to the band (friends he studied with in Cape Town); hence, did collaboration on their song while visiting Lesotho.

From there, Leraba released his first single, Bojete (Produced by Fritz Holscher, Germany) that got the attention of Brooklyn-based producer, Kashaka; hence, followed another collaboration, "Lithebera" and was premiered by Okayafrica in New York...
