After a humble startup release in 2019, Philou Louzolo continues his quest with his Afrofuristic label Wokoundou and welcomes us once again in his fictional multiverse. The opening anthem Ahosi Army is that song where we can hear Philou's diverse influences come together: aggressive polyrhythmic African drums are taking the lead accompanied by Philou himself playing the percussion in combination with lightsaber - effects and lazershots shooting over a deeply layered African Techno track, a true space battle anthem. Violet and Alma Negra are taking us to a new place at the intergalactic outskirts of Wokoundou's multiverse with two strong and propulsive remixes. More

Nubian Quadrant EP sees Dutch producer Philou reaching for that sweet spot between Afro and Electro to produce three pulsing new tracks for Byrd Out. As Philou says, "All good music ultimately comes from Africa", and true to his African roots, the EP was part recorded in Malawi. With his tracks being picked up by the likes of Erol Alkan and Eats Everything, this EP is sure to provide the rhythmic backdrop to the summer. If you imagine the driving force of Fela Kuti matched with the acid sqwelch of Phuture, you're part of the way there. It's dancefloor sunshine on vinyl. Mastered by the legendary Noel Summerville, artwork by G.S-L Studio.

Next up is 'Tartit's Tribe', an edit of an original desert song from the Tombouctou region of Mali. As if that wasn't enough to set the juices flowing, Philou ends the release on the flip with 'Fadimata's Dibabba', a track built around exotic melodies, chanted vocals and chunky percussion. More

This EP is a dedication to the Amsterdam based Alkebulan Project. Philou and Villy are both members of this project, the project brings artists from Africa & African Diaspora together. The Alkebulan Project is on a mission to change the perception of Africa an it's citizens. Nigerian artist Villy and his group "Villy & The Xtreme Volumes" are on a mission to educate Africans with their message calling for a revolution in Africa, politically and socially in all aspects. Philou has a combination of Congolese, Nigerian and Sierra Leonean heritage and it is in these roots that he has built his sound. His passion for the continent of his ancestors is fervent and his projects are challenging commonly held preconceptions about Africa. His goal is to challenge negative stereotypes, by making African cultures more approachable through music. Much love for Rudy Asibey for founding The Alkebulan Project and bringing the artists together and many thanks to Marcel Vogel for giving us the opportunity to tell our story through More

Essential reissue!! The producer and dj from Chicago Joey Kay published in 1994 an EP that soon became a favorite of the 90s house DJs around the world: 'Eclectiz Ep'. The legendary label House Jam Records was responsible for editing and selling it. Nowadays, in 2016 (22 years later) the owners of the label Bons Records have been in contact with Joey Kay and they have been quick to reach an agreement to make a remastered edition of the great Eclectiz Ep including the same tracks that the original version but at an affordable price to everyone, not favoring the speculation around these kind of musical gems, mostly in platforms like Discogs. 'Eclectiz Ep' has been remastered by Robert Feuchtl (Fat Of Excellence) More
