Une chanson au carrefour entre la musique issue du folklore africain et les sonorités contemporaines beaucoup plus près de la pop-synthétique. La richesse des arrangements, entre instruments traditionnels et l'électronique accentuent le dynamisme de ce titre joyeusement bigarré. L'énergique interprétation vocale féminine insuffle à cette entraînante pièce sensiblement d'émotions et de bonnes vibrations sur cette stimulante variation worldbeat.

very nice vibe indeed love that vocal hook!!

NYC producer / DJ and perennial favorite, Sid Vaga, is back with his 3rd release on Wonderwheel Recordings. This time around, he's focused on both the deep late night euphoric sounds you might hear at a 6am outlaw party with the song "Sereias" as well as a tough, jazzy track called "What's Happenin'" 

Topped off with a heavy four to the floor remix by Paris's DJ Herald you have a bangin' 3 tracker for the crates!

What would happen if you lock up a bunch of producers and musicians from different backgrounds into a studio complex for several days and give them complete creative freedom to record whatever they like? 

This is the question that music label INI Movement asked themselves. They decided to set up an experiment in their own studio complex in Haarlem. They invited a varied group of artists consisting of several members of brass band Gallowstreet, Rilan & The Bombardiers, Umoja & Pitch Controller Mitch. 

Guests that stopped by include Freshy Jazz and members of The Mauskovic Dance Band. The above mentioned contributors have helped each other with their personal projects but have never recorded in such a 'supergroup jam session type setting' where there was no directive style to the project. It could be seen as a collaboration in the style of supergroups like Soulquarians, Native Tongue or Odd Future. 

The result is a blend of different genres where the styles, tastes & speciality of each contributor meet. This is displayed in the tracks 'Berimbao' and 'Crappy Samba' where Umoja, best known for their tropical tracks and edits, is backed up with live recorded brass sections by members of Gallowstreet. Or Pitch Controller Mitch 
(formerly known as DJ for the group Pete Philly & Perquisite) not only contributing as producer, but also experimenting with his own vocals on 'Give It To Ya' & ‘A Star Is Born’. Also Rilan (lead singer of Rilan & The Bombardiers) can be heard on several songs including ‘Put Yo Feet Up Off The Wall’ where he complements the Disco & Funk drenched track with his raw vocal appearance. 

The young and talented multi-instrumentalist Lucas van Ee (Saxophonist in the group Gallowstreet) showcases himself as an established producer in many of the productions. 

The Collaboration 
Just like the collaboration between producers & musicians, collaborations have also taken place in the creation of the artwork (Photography by INDVDU edited in collages by visual artist Harm van Ee) and the creation of three music videos to be released along the way (one of which displays choreography by international dance phenomenon Roche Apinsa). The name Birdhouse is drawn from the nickname of INI's studio complex where this all went down. We dub this album 'Birdhouse Sessions Vol. 1' as an ode to this beautiful place that allows us to share our passion and experience complete creative freedom. One Love.

Birdhouse Sessions Vol.1

Birdhouse - Berimbao

The song speaks about the tales and teachings of our fore fathers in Kisii language, a bantu tribe from the western side of Kenya.
The song is an encouragement of people to embrace their cultural roots.
Both artists met through a mutual friend in Ngalah Oreyo’s studio – Boxhouse Media - and developed a vibe for this record.

King Sobo is a singer and poet, originally from Kisii region, and nowadays based on the coast of Kenya.
Ngalah Oreyo is a singer ,producer and sound recordist from Nairobi Kenya.

This song is part of Ngalah Oreyo’s musical project: Color clash

Following up on their collaborative single with Colombian trio Ghetto Kumbé, released in November 2020, Parisian collective and record label Mawimbi unveils another extract from their debut album, to be released in June, 2021.

Although it definitely sounds like “afro electro”, a genre Mawimbi has been championing since their debuts as a DJ collective, “Fôli Kadi”, their second single in collaboration with Malian artist Fatim Kouyaté (Midnight Ravers), offers a more intimate and melodic profile, drawing in the inherent melancholy  of Mandingue music and the power of contemporary pop music.

"Fôli Kadi" has some of the essential features found in Mawimbi's debut album. In its musical content on the one hand, as it plays on a subtle balance between a dance beat and emotional melodic content, which gradually rises and ends in a cascade of kora and cymbals.

In its history too, because more than any other tracks on Mawimbi's LP, "Fôli Kadi" owes a lot to the meetings and opportunities gleaned by the collective over the last five years. Their collaboration with kora player Chérif Soumano and singer Fatim Kouyaté was made possible by Lyon-based producer Dom Peter, leader of Franco-Malian project Midnight Ravers and manager of Blanc Manioc. "Fôli Kadi" was made "here and there", through chance encounters and the sharing of musical vibes - for example, Soumano's kora line was recorded in one take as he was passing by the studio to send his greetings. 

"Fôli Kadi" translates to "music feels good" in bambara, a language widely spoken in Mali!
