Wonderwheel Recordings is proud to present the debut EP & a remix 12" for new signing Alsarah & The Nubatones. Called “The New Star Of Nubian Pop” by The Guardian, the album was produced solely by Alsarah who describes the sound of Silt as “East African Retro Pop” - it’s music that harkens back to the hazy sounds of 1960s and 70s Nubian music with its haunting instrumentation, soaring vocal melodies, and pentatonic arrangements. 

The original song “Soukura” with is a small taste of her upcoming album Silt (out on 3/11) and gets a signature deep and entrancing Ancestral Soul remix by African house legend Boddhi Satva . Perennial Wonderwheel favorite The Spy From Cairo gives "Nuba Noutou" a dubby dancehall re-rub, and label head Nickodemus takes "Rennat" into late night house territory with his remix, letting only the slightest of vocals come through and build tension until the final moments of the tune. 

Alsarah, is a Sudanese born singer, songwriter and ethnomusicologist. Born in the capital city of Khartoum, where she spent the first 8 years of her life, she relocated to Taez, Yemen with her family to escape the ever stifling regime in her native country. She abruptly moved to the US in 1994, when a brief civil war broke out in Yemen. Now residing in Brooklyn, NY, she is a self-proclaimed practitioner of East-African retro-pop. Working on various projects, she most recently has been working with The Nile Project and was featured on their debut release, Aswan (named 1 of the Top 5 “Must Hear” international albums by NPR). She has also collaborated with French producer Débruit on the album Aljwal, released this past November via Soundway Records UK.

Time is Away: Fresh Figs 190224

Our next podcast comes courtesy of NYC's Boo Lean, with a 3hr opening set for Tim Reaper and Coco Bryce in the Good Room that's worth every minute. It's a full circle 85-170bpm journey that moves from cerebral to dub and UKG-infected deep body heaters, to an all-out DnB/Jungle/Harcore crescendo in honor of the late MC Conrad. Including a surprise live MC appearance from Reddablackbrown. With her signature twists, guitar shreds and flips of funkmaster Greg Perry's "The Boogie Man" make an appearance along the way. Lock in. 

Boo Lean (aka Lauren Goshinski) is a figure on the stage and behind-the-scenes as a DJ, curator, nightlife advocate, and board member of Resident Advisor, holding it down for club culture. More > @boo-lean, www.laurengoshinski.com

Boo Lean - Live at Good Room - 5.17.24

‘We do a lot of walking on the high crests of these mountains and there is a strange sense of freedom that comes from finding yourself so small and insignificant when surrounded by such a rolling immensity of landscape.  But then, if you stop and look at the ground beneath your feet, you become aware of all the plants and insects and, with that, you are suddenly transformed into a huge towering creature, vast beyond belief.’

Once mixed under a sunshiny roof in Cologne, now developed in a snugly room in Berlin: 150 Session has no clue what to do, missed all goals and comes around from all directions. ML's worldly sets are prepared spontaneously, marrying avant-electronics with foretime chants, odd dance emotions, man-made minimal tones, psychedelic fuzz and some neon light jazz. No country, no flag – outernational without a cause!
