"No Food for Lazy Man" is a catchy feel good Afrobeats tune with a message of working hard to achieve what you need. The song was born out of a recorded jam between British producer Burland, keys player Joel Stevenson, guitarist Josh Valters and Antonio Roldao on drums. An instrumental arrangement was formed and sent to Ghanaian MC Zongo Abongo, who after hearing it for the first time, jumped on a studio session that very same day to lay down the evergreen hooks and deliver the powerful message.

Zongo’s message is that: “just because some people tried and they failed, they think it’s not possible for others to win. They try all means to discourage you from achieving your dream, they can’t do it so they discourage others from trying. So this song is to inspire hope to the hopeless... work hard to achieve your dream regardless of the difficulties you have to go through and never listen to those trying to discourage you because there is no food for a lazy man".

Energetic, fast paced and raw, "Do Something for Yourself" provides a more dancefloor oriented b-side to the slower, softer "No Food for Lazy Man".

Burland & Zongo Abongo met for the first time at the Meet Me There festival in Ghana (2018). Zongo was hosting the festival and delivered serious inspiration during his live set with The Busy Twist, who later introduced Zongo to Burland. There was an instant connection, discussing collaboration and sharing tunes. Born out of the same sessions, "No Food For Lazy Man" is the follow-up to their "Tell Me Why You Worry" EP, released on Mawimbi Records in 2019.

Mixing traditional Nigerian Fuji music with deep sub bass, "Oluko" gives you the first taste of my upcoming Mystery Trip Vol.II mixtape - dropping July 10th on Bastard Jazz Records. This project is all about going back to my roots: pulling out obscure vinyl from my global collection, then lovingly chopping, remixing and editing them into new tracks with a contemporary edge and classic Captain Planet touch. All 9 edits have been blended, along with other audio samples and field recordings, into a 45min mix, which will be printed to cassette tapes like my earliest mixes from the late 90's. Similar to Mystery Trip Vol.I, which was listed in Sasha Frere-Jones "Best Music Of 2012", Vol.II leads you on a psychedelic journey to destinations around the world, where you are drawn out of your sonic comfort zone via a soundtrack that bridges styles of music from Asia and Africa to South America, The Caribbean and beyond.

Preview of Woza, the second single from Onipa -  'Open My Eyes'.

Single out 24 August, full EP 7 September on Wormfood + Mawimbi.

Download: https://onipa.bandcamp.com/

ONIPA means ‘human’ in Akan, the ancient language of the Ashanti people of Ghana. It’s a message of connection through collaboration: from Ghana to London, our ancestors to our children, Onipa brings energy, groove, electronics, afrofuturism, dance and fire!

Born out of deep collaboration between long time friends KOG (Kweku of Ghana of KOG and the Zongo Brigade) and Tom Excell (MD, guitarist and writer of acclaimed jazz/ soul afrobeat pioneers Nubiyan Twist), the 4 piece live show features KOG on vocals, balafon and percussion, Tom Excell on guitar, percussion and electronics, Dwayne Kilvington (Wonky Logic) on synths and MPC and Finn Booth (Nubiyan Twist) on drums.

It’s a fresh, raw, fiercely energetic new sound, fusing electronics and deep afro grooves. Think Konono no.1 meets Shangaan Electro, Songhoy Blues and Débruit….
