Those who have been following us for a while, might remember Faraji Heritage Experiment's "A/R/T" project from 2012. This Bandcamp demo was a mere taste of greater things to come and the time for this coming is upon us.

The Moroccan composer is back on the set with a brand new project, entitled "Nafsi". It means soul or being in Swahili. Hussein Ibn Faraji discovered his grandfather's name was not Arabic, but Swahili. This inspired him to bring together musicians of various backgrounds and have them use swahili nicknames. The same way Herbie Hancock and other Jazz men did back in in the seventies.

Cosmonostro will be releasing this project April 20th and we are delighted to exclusively premiere the amazing "Ode To Wattstax".

All Dat

Taken from my forthcoming album 'Ankhor', released on Sonar Kollektiv, May 5th 2017.

"Probably it got around already: In May one of this year's most anticipated and most important releases for Sonar Kollektiv is in store, Belgian soul singer and songwriter Liz Aku's debut for the label, “Ankhor”. The first single off the twelve-tracks strong album, “Seasons Change”, hits now the digital stores. Credits for the song go to producer duo Potatohead People (Nick Wisdom & AstroLogical). Their track “Blue Charms” (together with guitar player Danny McKinnon), already featured on their 2015 album “Big Luxury”, serves as the ultimate foundation for Liz Aku's tantalizing voice. To be honest, everything matches so perfectly, you more likely tend to imagine how these four musicians composed and recorded the song together in the same studio. Eventually they created a tune which is a pleasant presentiment for the album named “Ankhor” coming out in May 2017."

Liz Aku - Seasons Change

“This is a track called Black Enchantment from Emanative … a really good tune!”

- Jon More / Coldcut / Ninja Tune - BBC 6Music - Jan 2017


Emanative aka Nick Woodmansey makes his return on self-released limited 7", Ominous Shanti / Black Enchantment – two tracks that perfectly display Nick’s flavour for interesting rhythms, eastern sounds and contemporary influences.

On the flip, ‘Black Enchantment’, Nick brings together the original Emanative nucleus of Ben Hadwen and Jessica Lauren to neatly complement his lazy samples and sluggish programmed beats. The result is a jazz hip-hop vibe that was originally digitally released some time ago.

"We're releasing this one ourselves privately, on the kind of non-existant label Home Planet Recordings, so any and all support really appreciated!
It's a limited edition, so please don't miss out!"

Scrimshire - Thru You feat. Georgia Anne Muldrow

AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD HERE: http://thedecoders.bandcamp.com/track/reasons-feat-jimetta-rose

The debut single off of the forthcoming LP Adventures From Paradise : A Tribute To Minnie Riperton (vol. 3), Reasons is the Decoders latest offering, tackled beautifully by local LA native songstress Jimetta Rose and featuring a stellar cast of session players from Los Angeles to Sao Paulo, Brazil. 

The Decoders chose to take this classic Minnie track, and transform it into a celebratory, Jorge Ben inspired Afro-Brazilian samba. Featuring Brazilian trombonist Fabio Santana de Souza, and percussion by Te'Amir Sweeney and Steve Haney, this arrangement is yet another tribute to Minnie Riperton's depth of songwriting and musical prowess. 

Stay tuned for more upcoming releases from vol 3! The full length album is due in late Summer/early Fall.
