NAVY MIX - 009

START THE SHOW (lucky I mix)

"somewhere in pittsburgh, rob stokes his head in his hands. his lush sound doesn't rely on contemporary mandates for cleanliness and order but squiggles for its futurism. the melodies and riffs open up to reveal their unassuming vulnerability. 

'live at the heartbreak hotel' is a not-so-familiar tragic romance where each yearning, aching pulse is as dilated and complex as the phenomenon of love itself."

Bed to the Bath (feat. Cupid Valentino Jr.) - BNB Music

Shungu is back on earth after his "Exile dreams" in the astral worlds.

On his journey to travel beyond new horizons, lost In the middle of eternity, a new sunlight appeared through the darkness of humanity. Finding victory in defeat, he rebuilt his spaceship.

Far away, further than we can hear, he's been working on different frequencies.
The beginning of the end of something.

Inspired by the work of Gods, Shungu mastered his perspective of music, elevating the symbol of eternity above all else. 

The new quest is just starting. Recorded in the Darkestra homestudio in Brussels, 10 songs have been produced. With contributions from Gabriel Ramon on guitar and bass, he has also been joined vocally by Pink Siifu, Mamoyo and Spote Breeze.

"So I lived out my story, not in this world, but in my dreams”

After holding off on releasing any personal music for what seems like forever (3 years???) Here is the first introduction into my new era. This project and my next album are representations of the growth, journey and exchange that all of this art and music has pulled me through. The themes within represent the challenges and lessons I’ve gleaned along the way.

I've spent a great deal of time studying and honing myself and my craft. After my last solo release (Maintaining) I found myself in a place where the catharsis I had made the project for had lost its potency. So I began to work on new music with the intent of making tracks that made me feel wholly good.

When I asked myself why I was dealing with certain struggles in my life, I realized that in so many ways, I wasn’t being true to myself. Upon that realization, I put that energy right back where it should’ve been in the first place. Then, as I zoomed out on the whole thing, I realized that the music I started making in the first place was Dance music. Noticing that I had been on that path all along, it was easy to fall back into the groove of things, and these tracks are a reflection of that.   I hope that in reading this, looking at the cover art, and listening to the music you can get a small slice of what I’ve got going on in my head. I hope to make things much clearer with my next album, and I hope that in some way this art helps you understand that you’ve got it within you and your powers are infinite.

Thanks so much for taking the time.
