Pura Vida Sounds

First EP of the French duo with Pura Vida Sounds / Heavenly Sweetness, the start of a series dedicated to tropical music re-edit.This first volume is dedicated to Séga music from La Réunion.With drums, cowbells and humming sounds Underground bass, the duo crushes and punches the innocent “P’tit Courage” by Sulette to make a wonky warrior anthem.Another bass drum story which knocks out the times of the Disco Sega of Dominique MINGUI& Dera RAKOTOMAVO and pushes the cursors into the red for a powerful remix.

Voici la deuxième sortie de “Pura Vida sounds”, le nouveau label au sein de Heavenly Sweetness. Guts en assure la direction artistique et sortira régulièrement des artistes qu’il a découvert, produit ou des nouvelles compilations.“Change” (PVS004)K.O.G pour Kweku Of Ghan, iZem pour In Ze Early Morning.La rencontre entre le chanteur ghanéen et le beamaker français n’est pas une histoire d’acronymes mais plutôt celle d’une collaboration fructueuse entre deux expatriés qui, depuis leurs nouvelles bases, captent mieux les vibrations alentours.Chanteur et multi-instrumentiste, K.O.G se dédouble à chaque fois qu’une nouvelle ambition musicale le nécessite. K.O.G. and The Zongo Brigade, K.O.G and The Allstar Revolution, Onipa Project, il opère aussi en solo, irriguant funk, dancehall, reggae, jungle ou house de sa furieuse sève afro qui désormais érupte depuis Sheffield.Parti guitare en bandoulière en Espagne, c’est au Brésil puis en Argentine que iZEM collaborera à de nombreux projets avant d’aller se poser à Dublin, derrière deux platines et une mixette, pour finalement prendre la direction de Lisbonne. Un premier album, Hafa, paru chez Soundway Records mais surtout une connexion permanente avec les musiques lusophones émises depuis l’amérique du Sud et l’Afrique.We are happy to continue the adventure with our in-house label, *Pura Vida Sounds.*Our very own *Guts* is the art director of this new imprint.*"Change*" is the second release of Pura Vida Sounds (PVS004)K.O.G - Kweku Of Ghan, iZem - In Ze Early Morning. The meeting between the Ghanaian singer and the Moroccan/French beatmaker is not a story of acronyms, but rather a fruitful collaboration between two expats, better to capture the surrounding vibrations.Singer and multi-instrumentalist, born in Accra (Ghana), résident in Sheffield (UK), K.O.G is constantly innovating. Leader of hs own monstrous afro funk band K.O.G. and The Zongo Brigade(see them at Transmusicales 2018 and album on Heavenly Sweetness March 2019), lead vocalist for Onipa, he is a creative force, relentlessly touring and collaborating across a range of styles, from afro funk to house, dancehall and reggae to jungle, with forthcoming releases with Afriquoi (UK), Umoja (Netherlands), Jus Now (Trinidad/UK), Congo Natty (UK/Jamaica) and more.Guitar-schooled in Spain, it is in Brazil and Argentina that iZEM collaborated on many projects before landing in Dublin, behind two turntables and a mixer, finally ending up in Lisbon. A first album, released by Soundway Records but above all a permanent connection with Portuguese-speaking music from South America and Africa.
