At the nexus where modern/future dub/club science meets the wisdom of the griots through the centuries lies "Horizons," a Sicilian-meets-Senegalese collaboration that digs up magic from deep in the seas that separates continents. Jah Sazzah's signature dub productions meet head-on with Senegalese musicians and singers such as the cousins Abramo Laye Senè and Bara Gianie on the track "Ndaga," which is only the tip of the iceberg of the dancefloor magic achieved on these very successful Africa-meets dub/house collaborations. Music without limits where the horizon is only the beginning.

ZZK Records Presents Montoya’s ‘Flor del Mar’ ft. Pahua, the second single from Montoya's upcoming album 'El Nido'. 

This is a tribute to those impossible love affairs that happen on your summer vacations, the idea of falling in love with the beauty, the context. In that tropical context that makes everything taste of salt, everything bathed in sunshine. That memory inspired me for this song, but also as a sensorial aid to get through the winter and dream about returning to that place and reliving that warm sensation. 

‘Flor del Mar’ will be released on May 24th, 2023 on ZZK Records
'El Nido' will be released on July 7th, 2023

La Mujer Serpiente / Cumbia Serpiente is the 1st single from Earthtones’ upcoming LP on Wonderwheel, Futurismo Folklórico. This collaboration with longtime friend & co-producer, Oliwa, features vocal delivery and heartbreakingly beautiful songwriting by Colombian Canadian artist/singer, Lido Pimienta.

Behind the live cumbia rhythms, bass synths, analog keys, 808 drums & guitars, the vision of this track is one of upliftment of womxn and femmes everywhere, and the rise of the energy of the southern hemisphere like a serpent fearlessly rising out of colonization.

Lido Pimienta shines both in her vocal treatment and her ability to poetically and powerfully deliver this message. We offer this as a song of empowerment, anti-establishment, and upliftment for femmes and marginalized peoples everywhere. Time to rise.

“Vente pa’cá” started with an afro-funk groove made by italian producer Jah Sazzah who has produced Dub, Reggae & a recent Deep Global Electronic album for Turntables on the Hudson called “Horizons.” When asked for a possible vocalist, Nickodemus made some edits & mixes and sent it to Grammy-nominated Colombian vocalist Jimena Angel who quickly put her signature vocal style as a catchy chorus saying “vente pa’cá” meaning “come here.”

Jimena was featured on the recent Captain Planet album with a hit song “Pambelé” as well as releasing many Latin/Electronic/Alternative singles the past few years. The song’s afro disco funk feel then got a heavy Caribbean style four to the floor Poirier remix with an entirely different melody for the dance-floors. Ex Ninja Tune artist and Montreal legend Poirier is best known for his remixes & modern Afro-Caribbean productions & has a strong selling album on Wonderwheel Recordings called “Soft Power.”

"Juru Fô", the first single from Yemanjo's upcoming full length album "La Misma Fuente" on Wonderwheel, is an intercontinental collaboration between Yemanjo, Argentinian multi-instrumentalist Onanya and Malian singer Mariam Koné. This buoyant mid-tempo house groove is anchored by Onanya's interlocking ngoni melodies, echoing djembe fills and Koné's call and response vocals. Appropriately enough, the title translates as "Play the strings" in Koné's native language of Bambara.
