Experimental hip-hop/jazz quartet Bokoya team up with Cologne-based producer / guitarist Gianni Brezzo (Jakarta Records) for ‘Tangram’, the second single from their upcoming album ‘Minari’ on Melting Pot Music.

Bokoya describe themselves as a four-headed human drum machine that play impro-vised beat music. You can call it jazz if you like (all four members are graduated jazz musicians btw) but be ready to stumble over some Dilla, Kraut Rock, Ambient or Dub in the mix. We recommend their double-album ‘Hausensession’ (MPM 2022) as a reference point.

Gianni Brezzo's music is a bit easier to access but not less leftfield. Jazz is a major influ-ence, but it goes way further. On his album ‘Tutto Grosso’ (Jakarta, 2022), Brezzo rides a sonic wave similar to Matthew Halsall, Surprise Chef, El Michels Affair and BadBadNot-Good. 

The recording sessions took place at the Gottesweg Studios in Cologne where Bokoya and Gianni Brezzo jammed for three days and nights based on some basic sketches and beat. The sessions were edited and arranged after by Bokoya and Brezzo but no overdubs added.

‘Minari’ will be available as digital album and LP.

Hailing from Harlem, New York, KARLLLL has quickly become one to watch in Seoul’s underground music scene. After her 2022 debut at Pistil Seoul, KARLLLL has gone on to play at a number of Seoul’s cultural staples, such as Cakeshop, Tunnel, and, Modeci. As a member of the DJ collective Unborn Sounds, and a part of the B2B duo The Roommates (with Fakedeeplee), KARLLLL’s style seamlessly blends Afro-infused rhythms with other musical traditions, such as house, disco, hard drum, and bass. Her distinct sound selection has been displayed at events hosted by Visla, MixMag Korea, Nike, FELT, Tommy Hilger, and city-sponsored events such as the Seoul Africa Festival. No matter the event, venue, or crowd, KARLLLL’s primary motive is always one thing -- to spread joy.

뉴욕 할렘 출신인 KARLLL은,
빠르게 서울의 언더그라운드 음악계에서 주목할 만한 인물이 되었다. 
피스틸 서울에서의 2022년 데뷔 이후, 
Cakeshop, Tunnel, 그리고 Modeci와 같은 
서울의 음악을 대표하는 베뉴에서 플레이 해왔다.

DJ collective Unborn Sounds의 멤버이자, 
B2B 듀오 The Roomates (with. Fakedeeplee)의 멤버로서, 
아프로 리듬을 하우스, 디스코, 하드 드럼 및 베이스 등의 
다른 전통적인 장르와 매끄럽게 조화하여 무대를 소화한다. 

이를 토대로,
Visla, MixMag Korea, 나이키, FELT, Tommy Hilger,
서울 아프리카 페스티벌과 같은 도시가 후원하는 굵직한 행사에서도,
소개된 이력이있다. 

KARLL의 주된 동기는 항상 한 가지이다 - 즐거움을 전파하는 것이다.

KELLEN DE VOS - GRAND SLAM

Hope Has Weight is a reminder that hope isn’t abstract or fragile—it’s heavy, earned, and carried. The song speaks to the kind of hope forged through responsibility, sacrifice, and staying present when walking away would be easier.

The track balances emotional depth with grounded strength. The delivery is steady and intentional, letting each line land with purpose. Instead of soaring optimism, it offers something more durable: belief built from effort, proof, and lived experience.

Hope Has Weight is for people who keep showing up—for their families, their communities, their work—knowing that real hope costs something. And still choosing to carry it.
