Born in the dark streets of Cairo, grown to the unforgettable forests of Santa Esmeralda, spending its teen years in Bombay and Tangier markets, mature into the deep spacey Jungle of Ghana we proudly present you a new label from the land of the pyramids: SHANGO RECORDS invites you to an unheard world music psychedelic trip: like through a colorful kaleidoscope we will melt down Indian and Pakistani Vibes, Arab-Tek and Oriental groovy vibes, Afro-Beat rhythms n' pieces, Cumbia Tropicana flavors and cosmic Ghetto-Latin vibes into forbidden sounds of frenzied electronic dancefloor rituals. Outside traditional paths these driving grooves and polyphonic structures take the adventure seeking dancer to Dionysian highs and places never been before.

We knew the Old Man of the Moon had given us a string of destiny, one of the very strings he used to bind people together. It was a marvelous gift. While he left us no instructions, we guessed that we were to use it to tie around the city if it looked as if it were to split. After that, night after night, we watched our sphere, ready to use the string at the first signs of breakage. Unsure of its power or abilities, we dare not use it for anything but the direst of circumstances. But the crack did not grow. Unexpectedly, the king renounced his father. He exiled him and his officials from the city and harmony returned. Slowly, the fracture has filled with the powder of earth and stone. And I have held the string, unused. And as the male lion finished, he lifted his paw, to reveal a flattened line of red thread. “The borrowed line!” Dragon said. “That’s it! Minli said she needed to get the borrowed line from the Guardian of the City! You’re the guardian and that’s the borrowed line we need!” Pangolea is ready to teach you the Dragon dance. This is his first offering for Shango Records. These two tracks are made by human but are suitable to dragons. Davka and Archy can help you taste the Spring revival.

Pangolea is the musical project of multi-instrumentalist and producer Kevin Zhao. Fusing East Asian folk instrumentation with modern synthesis, his sound bridges ancient tradition and contemporary dancefloor dynamics. Classically trained in bassoon and piano, Zhao’s unconventional path into electronic music was shaped by time in East Asia, where he immersed himself in traditional Chinese instruments and the Taipei underground scene.

With releases on The Gardens of Babylon, Katun, Lump Records, and more, Pangolea has become a distinctive voice in the organic house scene. Known for emotive textures, hypnotic rhythms, and his unique utilization of folk instruments, his music continues to imagine a future shaped by tradition, nature, and technology.
