Mo Kolours – EP3: Tusk Dance

2371421916-1

Anglo-Mauritian pop-experimentalist Mo Kolours completes his trilogy of EPs for One-Handed Music with EP3: Tusk Dance. The most introspective collection so far, Tusk Dance is the best opportunity yet to glimpse the otherworldly visions of this unique singer, producer and percussionist.

Mo Kolours’ first two releases have established him as a singular voice as he explores the rhythmic possibilities of his mix of soul, dub, hip hop, the Sega music of his homeland, and various electronic styles.

Engone Endong is a busy cat.

Just for this year, the Montreal based producer/beatmaker and Dj is working on 3 different projects, including his debut album that he relates himself as an "Off the Planet" journey.

In December 2012, he put online a free album, "Colored Dust (lite)", under the name of the fictive band, Atsie Sun Orchestra.
This project was a huge success and was downloaded more than 5000 times (Japan with 2000 downloads)!!!
He also composed the entire soundtrack of the virtual experience of the movie/documentary "Les Etats-Unis d’Afrique- United States of Africa" by Yanick Letourneau.

Engone describes his music as an experience, a fusion of cultures and traditions, a mix of genres that can’t be really defined without listening.
He also cites Sun Ra, Alice Coltrane, Fela Kuti and traditional teachings from all across Africa as inspirations.

He started his career under the mentorship of mythic Siya Po’ssi X in 2000 (pioneer of gabonese Hip-Hop) and since then he collaborated with numerous artists such as Elom 20ce (Togo), Waahli Yussef (Canada), Safari Black (USA)…

With Dj Sugarface Nene (Beat the World, Canicule Tropicale), they formed the duet Dj combo, Kelly+Engone, performing live the Essence of Traditional Music (Latin, African, Asian, etc…) with samplers, rare vynils and percussions.

This podcast is another journey in the colored universe of Engone Endong.
From japanese mangas (Saint Seiya, Bleach) to the Bwiti and Mvet music (Gabon), It opens another window and give an interesting perspective of things to come.

He sure is a busy cat.

"Le choix de la maison"

"Pure product of the golden age of Hip Hop , "Sonik Fiktion" is the result of an encounter between legendary  MC’s and a composer worthy of the greatest names of English trip-hop. A flashback of the days before  the audio compression of the 10′s, this album draws as much inspiration  from New York’s soulful moods as from Bristol’s theatrical atmosphere. Rose From The Dirt immediately raises the mood: powerful, dark and heady, where DV the Kryst & Rock (Heltah Skelath) offer a tribute to the underground. Guilty Simpson and Oh No set Trust The Song on fire , a production worthy of Stones Throw’s greatest moments. Sadat X (Brand Nubian), Lord Have Mercy (Flipmode Squad) & Fred The Godson drop Look At The Door, leaning laid back on the corner of 88 Tenth Ave. Hannah Aldridge and Grace Kelly cast a spell with their nostalgic melodies reminiscent of the "Wild Bunch" sound. Finally a few instrumentals complete the tracklist, worked as a DJ Krush under Prozak. 12 tracks for an endless journey on the  sinusoidal waves of a Galactic Akai."
