'Album Review: Suns of Arqa – Stranger Music (ARKA Sound Records)
 by Dave Mac: BPM magazine
<World Beat> Some facts you should know. Suns of Arqa have been on the World Beat Music scene since 1979. They played at the very first Womad Music Festival in Shepton Mallet at the personal invitation of Peter Gabriel. Enough said. Having performed over the years at many major European festivals such as Glastonbury, Big Chill, Telerama Dub festival to mention a  few, this intriguing outfit  are best known for their fusion of Indian music and electro dub. They have always had a strong indigenous element to their compositions. So imagine my surprise when I popped this into the CD player to discover an album of Leonard Cohen cover songs. Sound interesting? Or maybe you’re thinking what the heck? Let me tell you Stranger Music is a phenomenal reinterpretation of Leonard Cohen like I’ve never heard before. Fusing their signature world beat elements, tight electronica and dub with some absolutely gorgeous vocal delivery if I had not known that these were Leonard Cohen covers, I may not have guessed it, such is the magnificent reconstruction of his songs. I cannot recommend this enough for any serious world beat fan. Simply superb. 

' Lush keyboards and tablas kick in on “The Window” to provide a drifting rhythm that gives it a Goa trance feel full of early morning ambience.' Gary Parsons: FREQ MAG

'The Window' from SUNS OF ARQA album  Stranger Music: 
Music by Suns Of Arqa, Rhythms by Muslim Gauze, Angel Eye on Vocals, Mixed by David Hendry.

Jaggernaut Whirling Dub is the ultimate transcendental trip to 'turn off, tune in' & enter the cosmic void. This classic album from Suns of Arqa presents four epic tracks, with sublime mixes from phenomenal producer Youth and sonic genius Greg Hunter, setting the stage with the massive opening track Jagnath Bhairavi. 
The music is based around Ancient Classical North Indian Ragas which are both timeless & magical. And feature the late great Ustad Kadir Durvesh on Shenai and multi-talented flautist and new age guru Tim Wheater. 
Maximum respect is due to Suns of Arqa creator and musical visionary Michael Wadada who supplies the full fat bass lines, creating a spaced out dub-dance experience of power, depth, and beauty - meditative and eternal.

Suns of Arqa have materialised as a musical collective, combining the ancient Hindustani raga systems with Piobaireachd and Nyabinghi roots drumming. They appear intermittently at the seasonal festivals and sacred ritual spaces, where they are a vehicle for the positive raising of vibration, connecting with both the sensory and infinite worlds, for the on going evolution of all sentient beings.

'There is No Danger Here' is a hypnotic & heady mix, featuring the gifted Johar Ali from New Delhi on Violin, Angel Eye's soaring Vocals, while Wadada provides the apocalyptic chant to create a potent & intense collaboration. 

Taken from the epic & eclectic 'Shabda' album by Suns Of Arqa  and described as 'some of the most interesting dub/world/raga/reggae/dance music in the world'. This is a cosmic journey into sound or as Wadada concludes: 
'Before language became a formation of words, music was, and still is in other spheres, the means of communication between souls'.

'Pure Reality' features all star reggae heads Country Rankin and Sticksman, collaborating on an avant-dub hybrid complete with rocksteady vocals. Wadada drives the sound on chromatic harmonica, while Angel Eye adds eastern delight with some chilled ethereal vocals.

As Wadada states:
'Before language became a formation of words, music was, and still is in other spheres, the means of communication between souls'.

SUNS OF ARQA transmit a deeply spiritual vibration that merges cultures, faiths and musical genres.

In 1979 Suns of Arqa creator and mentor Michael Wadada set about recording the ground breaking Suns of Arqa album 'Revenge of the Mozabites' with his friend Adrian Sherwood. Together they formed the ‘4D Rhythm’ label – the world was not ready! Wadada retreated to the Pennine mountain range in Lancashire, Adrian Sherwood went on to create the formidable ‘On-U Sound’ label. Three years went by before a a very curious Peter Gabriel came across a rare copy of that first Suns of Arqa album; he was putting together the very first World of Music and Dance festival (WOMAD), and asked Suns of Arqa to come and perform. 

Revenge of the Mozabites is where it all started, this truly eclectic album of world-dub-east-west fusion from Suns of Arqa, ignited what would ultimately become the new World Dub Dance genre which has influenced & inspired so many artists today.

''Michael Wadada continues to defy all terms of musical reference with 'SEVEN'. Creating a new hybrid of Christian and Hindu mysticism layered with alchemy. 'SEVEN' combines Gabriel Faure's Requiem mass with early rumblings of Dub Step, Hindustani Ragas and Nyabinghi Dub Poetry... a unique and historic album.
Recorded at the legendary Sawmill Studio in Cornwall and the Gayan Uttejak Studio in Budapest. The conceptual story line features an impressive cast on the Arqa stage with John Cooper-Clarke as Ezekiel; Professor Stanley Unwin as Erasmus; Helen Watson as the Maid of Orleans; Sanyogita Kumari and Sarah Wildwitch as the Celtic sisters of Wyrd and Kadir Durvesh as Kali the destroyer. The effect is both fascinating and impressive.'' NME

Figli Di Madre Ignota -Exxotica (Gaetano Fabri remix)

Power Salad is the debut album from Melbourne based duo Sunmonx. Combining Opiuo's renowned production style with Austero's tasty guitar grooves, this refreshing sonic fusion weaves together threads from the worlds of blues, dub, funk and beyond. Lovers of bass music, glitch and all things electronica will find plenty to satisfy their cravings within the solid basslines, crisp production and the precision attention to the finest micro-details.

Sunmonx have kept themselves busy in the acoustic kitchen over the last 3 years, carefully combining their nutritious homegrown musical ingredients and perfecting their gourmet dub-infused recipes. Power Salad contains nothing but the freshest fruits of this labour, cultivated as the pair step beyond their self-released Rigiti EP, a 4-track teaser that caught the attention of Interchill Records and many other downbeat lovers around the world. Picking up where they left off, Sunmonx hit the studio with innovation in mind and set out to explore new dimensions of the electronica spectrum. They came up with an energizing album where progressive beats mingle with a prevailing thread of guitar, uniting this diverse palette of sounds and styles into a cohesive and delectable whole. Power Salad hits right on target and stays true to its title, serving up an organic blend of revitalizing tracks to set you on your way.  Who's hungry?
