Released Works

We are excited to unveil this single of the Kenyan-German duo ODD OKODDO! The 7inch "Okitwoye" is their first ever outing, announcing the long player "Auma" to be released here in October. It comes paired with a Peter Power remix.

Release date is August 16
Preorder is up: https://oddokoddo.bandcamp.com
Available worldwide through our distributor @kompakt.

Odd Okoddo are Olith Ratego and Sven Kacirek. 

Olith Ratego performs his immaculate vocals in the musical style called "dodo", which originates from the shores of Lake Victoria in Kenya, high in pitch and soulfully expressive. He himself refers to his music as "dodo blues". As a skilled luthier, Olith Ratego designs and builds his string instruments himself, first of all the five-stringed Okodo which lends its name to the project.

Sven Kacirek is a multi-instrumentalist commuting between Germany and Kenya for many years now, ever since he recorded his famous "Kenya Sessions" in 2010. He plays the marimba, percussions and piano, next to producing this project. He has closely collaborated with various international musicians, among them Nils Frahm, Shabaka Hutchings, F.S. Blumm and Marc Ribot.

The remix on the B side amplifies the essence of the song. Peter Power is a part of the Voodoohop collective from Brazil and his releases on Multi Culti or Polychrome Sounds fuel the rather slow, organically hypnotic dancefloors. He premiered this remix at the Heliodora festival in Brazil, at sunrise next to a giant waterfall, and it was just perfect.

Home Is In The Mountains feat. Synne Sofie

An intimate arctic reverie,
An impulse of love...
Rippling waves,
warm wavering immersion..
atmospherical alchemy,
homesome loving devotion...

Life is alive with Silent Resilience,

All with Love, Inhale...Out...

Life Love Impulse

Shika Shika is delighted to present a new LP by one of the bright talents that rode the downtempo wave. In New Dance Energy, Peter Power offers us rich soundscapes that blossom with pulsating grooves, deep meditative vocals, playful flutes, and glitched out beats. His global sound is immersed in a growing sensitivity of presence, where cultivating a deep awareness with one's surroundings is at the heart of the process. Finding perpetual inspiration in organic motion and the alchemical forces of nature. 

After taking a much needed hiatus from the dance floor, taking the time and space to delve into slow living, deep listening, fatherhood and the simple joy of playing instruments. New Dance Energy marks something of a return, with Peter’s first dance orientated release in 5 years. 

Falling in love again with Dancing and Dance Music. 
Reveling in the diverse freedom of conscious dance forms such as ecstatic, meditative & cacao dance ceremonies. 
Dancing for the joy of dancing, and finding new ways to move the body. 

On this release, Peter sways away from habitual four to the floor archetypes. Taking inspiration in lower chakra liberating, body shaking Afro-Brazilian & Dancehall rhythms. Playfully contrasting with soft and wholesome tones, uplifting mantras and traditional flute playing. 
With the intention to bridge the hard hitting modern urban sound with the gentle, holistic and folkloric realms. A striking departure from his usual drawn out, slow burning, meditative style… Exploring short and direct composition , with the average track length on the album teetering in around 4mins. Seven bite sized beauties to sink your teeth into. 

20 % of all royalties will go towards Projeto Sapucaia. 
A regenerative agro-reforestation project in the valley of Raposa, Chapada Diamantina, Bahia, Brazil. A community initiative that Peter is involved in since 2016. The money collected will go towards maintenance of the agro-forest, to the recently established cultural centre and to the continual reforestation of new areas of the land. Revitalising the conditions for it to flourish how it once was as part of the Mata-Atlantica rainforest. 

Bon appetite !

Peter Power - Reel Jiggy

Two classically trained musicians from vastly different traditions, MD Pallavi and Andi Otto came together to create a jewel of a record in ’Songs for Broken Ships’ and Multi Culti have whipped up a stunning remix package for it featuring Simone de Kunovich, Auntie Flo, Peter Power, Kaleema and more.

Hailing from Bangalore, trained in Hindustani music and poetry since childhood, MD Pallavi’s beautiful voice makes an elegant companion to cellist / composer / producer Andi Otto’s idiosyncratic and unconventional style. Andi’s music has featured on labels such as Shika Shika and Pingipung (which he co-runs and curates) and, of course, Multi Culti, who released his previous album ‘Bow Wave’ which featured his first collaboration with Pallavi.

While the heart of "Songs for Broken Ships" showcased the duo's unique meld of cross-cultural folktronica and acoustic ballads with MD Pallavi's poetic Kannada verses at the core, "Remixes from the Clouds” reframes these elements for a vast spectrum of electronic listeners and club go-ers. 

An ethereal hypnotic techno re-interpretation of ‘Prayer to the Cloud’ from Italian producer Simone de Kunovich. Scottish ambient maestro and mushroom aficionado Auntie Flo's ecstatic reinterpretation of "Clockshop". Multi Culti veteran downtempo wizard Peter Power's organic and earthy rendition of "Prayer to the Cloud." The mystic sounds of Kaleema breathing new percussive life into "Clockshop". The package concludes with a 'prayer-a-pella' version of "Prayer to the Clouds", spotlighting MD Pallavi's vocals in their purest form, for DJs and producers seeking to slather their rhythms with spiritual voice.

The Multi Culti imaginarium also present an expanded digital package that includes mixes from Hannah Lee, Bliz Nochi & Emil Jourjou, Migramara, and Poligra. In the words of Shawn Christopher: "people from all nations, dancing together." Celestial harmony, one 12” at a time.

‘The highlife hep cat of Nigerian jazz trumpet’. Thus spake Louis Armstrong upon hearing Zeal Onyia’s inimitable tone, rhythm and sheer breath-power. One of the founders of West African highlife in both Ghana and Nigeria, Zeal played Ellington-style swing and dance with Bobby Benson in the 40s, classic highlife with ET Mensah in the 50s and provided stiff competition for Fela Kuti’s first band as a small-jazz combo leader in the early 60s.

After studying classical music in Germany for most of the 70s, he returned triumphantly to Lagos in 1979, where he promptly recorded these six memorable tunes with the Tabansi Studio Band. From the village-party vibe of ‘Zeal Anata’ to the instrumental workout ‘Egwu Olili’, every one of the tracks is a winner.

This LP remains one of the most in-demand old-school Igbo-highlife sessions of all time, both in Nigeria and elsewhere, the original vinyl being devilishly hard to find in ANY condition, let alone playable! As part of its ongoing Tabansi Gold reissue series, BBE Music brings you the first ever reissue of this historic record, from the original source, on heavyweight vinyl, complete with original sleeve artwork.

In Nigeria, the Igbo people call this style ‘Agadi-Akwukwo’- ‘old-school’. And they have as much love and respect for it today as they did all those decades ago.

Nicola Cruz re-visits his second album 'Siku', released earlier this year to widespread acclaim, with ‘Siku Reworks’. The release provides the listener with another perspective on the ‘Siku’ domain, one envisioned in different corners of the world; Argentina, the UK, and Japan to name a few.  In an effort to unlink the original material, Cruz has selected producers to re-work a designated song on 'Siku' according to their own style. Additionally, Cruz has chosen to re-record two tracks whose live versions have stuck with him throughout a year of constant touring.

   ‘Siku Reworks’ invokes a psychedelic view of the original material, Hermetics (R&S) provides deep atmospherics with his take on 'Obsidiana' and Nicola offers an acid-merengue-infused live version of 'Señor de las Piedras' alongside an infectious and club-ready re-work of live favourite 'Siete'. In some ways it's hard to define Nicola's sound, shaped by years of global touring, and every track here is unique and succeeds in breaking from the usual electronic music format in captivating fashion.
