Da Best Riddim Eternal Action Krew ! Here is the mission that DA BREAK has given itself for this 3rd album : To drop a new opus of great quality, which will remain eternally engraved in the memories of Soul Music.

' Funkadelic touring the vast Caribbean coastline of Venezuela, together with Afrosound and Grupo Bota, with endless supplies of Aguardiente and other substances, in a “Back to the future” setting. ' ....?Lola's Dice's debut album is the result of a radical musical transmutation, marked by the phenomenon of massive Venezuelan emigration. The songs contained in "Pura maldad" expose the current point of that process with amazing detail. Rhythms that were considered exclusively "traditional" and almost untouchable back home (Tamborera, Gaita) get twisted, stretched and pushed beyond any imaginary limit, while being combined with healthy doses of Disco, Funk, Electro, Techno and their Caribbean counterparts, Merengue, Salsa and Compass.

KADEF by KADEFA group of musicians invited by Devin Brahja Waldman for a recording session in Montreal, QC. This music speaks about freedom and evolution of consciousness. The album could be categorized as improvised Gnawa Jazz Krautrock: a combination of sounds we are able to discover for the first time thanks to the artists involved.Credits:Ziad Qoulaii – vocalsMathieu Pelletier-Gagnon – keyboardsAnas Jellouf – guembri / qraqeb / drums (4)Devin Brahja Waldman – drums / saxes / electric bass (4)Vicky Mettler – guitar (1,3)Sam Shalabi – guitar (2,4,6,7)Anass Hejam – guitar (5)Hamza Lahmadi Kenny – oud (9)Rachid Salamate – guembri / vocals (10,11,12)Music by KADEFRecorded by Mathieu Pelletier-Gagnon in Montreal, QCMixed & Produced by Devin Brahja WaldmanMastered by Mark GergisArtwork by Ala DehghanLayout by Ilja Tulit

The third release from Canopy features the title track from a tough to catch Afro funk 7” originally released on private press in Benin in the 1980s. While information on the mesmerizing Tomede Ehue remains elusive, she is backed by the Beninois powerhouse, the truly almighty, “TP Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou”.Electrifying cosmic voodoo disco grooves, heavy bass pulsing, blistering horns and spooky organ riffs set the tone on this transcendental dance floor afro funk cut. A modernized tropical disco remix from bosq & an Afro - acid version from Sam Redmore revitalize this mysterious dance floor incantation and launch it into the present day.These tracks strike a balance between moody afro psych-funk and more punchy electronic aesthetics, while maintaining the subtleties of the original composition and performance.
