“Ave yuh hear of Pongo Longo
him sleep inna flowa, him sleep inna flowa leaf”
Latin and Caribbean rhythms (Cumbia? Reggae?) blended with vintage synths tweaking, a unique ability to fuse folk music with electronic elements; all of multi-instrumentalist Dutch producer Solo Moderna can be found in “Pongolongo”; a perfect opening to his forthcoming album “Daïsm”, which was mostly composed with female singer Krage, who effortlessly sings in a delicious mix of English, French, Spanish, Jamaican Patois, Quechua and self-made language. Together, they found their very own way of expressing their love for nature and diversity through universal language.
Pioneer of the “Global Bass” movement of the 2000s, Jazzdance music and Balkan Beats, with three albums and numerous remixes to his credit, signed to labels such as Tru Thoughts or Agogo, the Dutch producer has now reached the next level of mastering the fusion of genres.
Featured many times on BBC6 Music, Le Mellotron and more, his highly entertaining music, combined with a good dose of humour is most appreciated in Japan and the UK, and a tour is to be announced with his recently formed four-piece band for the release of the album.
From the 16 tracks of the album, 10 have been selected to be pressed on a vinyl illustrated by renowned Colombian artist Saga Uno.
