Discognosis – Discognosis Hardware Edits Vol. 1 [NOSIS001]
Discognosis’ Hardware Edits Vol. 1 offers a whirlwind of disco-infused energy across its four tracks. 4 wacked-out, psychedelic disco reworks with added hardware drum machine and analog synthesis for maximum dance floor impact. From the minds behind New Orleans’ most cosmic, coked-up disco party Discognosis.
Kumasi – Live at Marigny Studio [ZONE002]
Kumasi, New Orleans’ own 14-piece Afrobeat orchestra, is back with their third LP and first live record. After two private-press releases, Kumasi is presenting Live at Marigny Studios to an international audience for the first time via Hiatt dB’s New Orleans-based Mystery Zone Records. Live at Marigny Studios, features 4 original compositions: jazz-centric interpretations of Fela’s classic form that incorporate rhythms and sentiments from New Orleans and the surrounding Afro-diaspora, namely Cuba, Haiti, and Brazil. It’s a bold effort that perfectly captures the infectious mix of heavy rhythms, spontaneous, improvisatory musicianship, and inclusive, participatory style that characterize Kumasi as a group, as well as Afrobeat as a whole.
