In the last few years London has become the centre of the Jazz Renaissance. A new burst of energy and attitude brought by young musicians, equally inspired by the likes of John Coltrane, Pharaoh Sanders or Sun Ra, as well as Madvillain, J Dilla, Flying Lotus and Floating Points, has brought a welcomed freshness to the London Scene. This exciting new environment brought a group of young musicians together, all with a mutual desire to discover a new form of expression. Together they created Cykada.

Cykada is a band of established musicians on the London scene, having played in groups including, Myriad Forest, EZRA Collective, Maisha, Where Pathways Meet, Family Atlantica and Don Kipper. Bassist Jamie Benzies is the spine of the project, along with Tilé Gichigi-Lipere, also a fellow former member of the legendary band Myriad Forest and Drummer Tim Doyle aka Chiminyo, together were the first members of Cykada. Jamie mentioned in one interview:

"I became more keen on doing something which has a longer vision. Where you get together with people you know you can work with, people you love sharing a space with and you take your time, you make sure you’re enjoying your music and as that comes, everything else comes."

Trumpeter Axel Kaner-Lidstrom, Saxophonist James Mollison and secret weapon Guitarist Javi Pérez complete the ensemble. Tilé shows a unique and indispensable role within the band, aside from playing keys, he is programming, processing and modifying the sounds of the instruments, a massive factor in creating the distinctive vibe of the band. Cykada’s unique vibe is a testament to its members and the crucial role they each play in the creative process. 

Cykada is an energetic bomb of unique style. It engages distant poles, analog worlds crashing with electronics, eastern influences crossing with western, harmonising nostalgic moments with dancefloor bangers. It seems that Western Africa is just bordering with Eastern Europe, where Turkish music high fives Flamenco and all of this is wrapped up with the fundamentals of the London club scene. There are so many inspirations that it may seem impossible to unite them, however they make it happen, creating layers of devastation, beauty and intrigue.

40 minutes of music built as 5 compositions, were recorded in December 2017 in the Total Refreshment Centre. The self-titled debut album Cykada will be released on 22th of March 2018 by Astigmatic Records. The preorder of the album is available at the Sounds of The Universe and Bandcamp.

@andreamusik wastes no time - thunderous, thwacking drums get to the point; a mindful bass line and a melody that accentuates all the surrounding elements into a tribalistic dance floor surrender. Out 25 February 2019 via @xcptmusic.

The adroit and emerging Uninc & Kolomensky deliver the latest release for our Sulk Magic imprint.
Known for their reserved yet utterly eminent methods. Four original tracks fuse the slavic duo's stereotypical breaks, thick synths and ancestral vocal samples.

Munich. 1994. A group buck current trends with a ground-breaking release. Tikitaka by Tamburá left aside the techno of the time to focus on a the lesser known styles of afrobeat and tribal music. The result was three tracks that sail and soar on a primal energy, three works that whisk listeners away to exotic lands of wooden wind instruments, ritualistic vocals and, even, bag pipe majesty. For twenty five years this record has been an unattainable mystery, until now that is. Kalahari Oyster Cult have lovingly restored all three of the trailblazing original tracks alongside two very special remixes. Melbourne’s Tornado Wallace adds new layers of intensity as he cuts and reshapes melodies and beats to set any floor alight with this visionary remake. Dazion offers a very different interpretation. Focusing on vocals, this new talent accentuates the shamanic-like chants of Tikitaka, using them as a base from which throbbing synth lines grow as new depths are explored. An EP every bit as daring in 2019 as it was in 1994.

PREMIERE: Tambura - Tikitaka (Dazion Remix)

PRÈMIÉRE: J.A.K.A.M. - "Tribes"(Cornelius Doctor & Tushen Raï remix)

The tunnel was long and the shimmering lights from up above were all that prevented them from being plunged into complete and total darkness. Each phase of the journey was intertwined and interlinked with a wave of anxiety for it was not safe for them here. Travelling through the outback of the countryside, beneath the towering mountains and through the wandering tunnels beneath the cliff face they began to wonder whether this trip had been such a good idea at all. All hell was about to break loose...

Kamus & PinballSpider are a duo from Glasgow who are set to self release a new EP which has been widely supported so far by the likes of Eclair Fifi, Assembler Code, Locked Club and Nite Fleit. It's a promising offer from a pair who look set to evolve.
