Sales Information:

If we adapt the term, we can wholeheartedly say that music cant actually get much more global than it is here on Ya Tosibas debut ep. On this splendid piece of black wax produced by Finnish skweee pioneer Mesak and sung by Azerbaijan-Norwegian ethnomusicologist/rapper Dj Zuzu you'll find a wide spectrum of influences ranging from Arabic folk music to electro funk and modern RnB. On Mad Barber and Baku Hipster heavy electronic drum beats are high fiving bubbling analogue synthesizers and traditional eastern instruments, deliciously topped with Dj Zuzus hypnotic Azerbaijani rapping. Bizarre, yet beautiful: Music that is equally suitable for dischoteques and home listening. The fantastic remixes on this record are provided by the legendary German synthesizer visionaries Mouse on Mars and the Turkish masters of mesmerizing psychedelia, Baba ZuLa. It has been said that the development of communication technology obscures forms of music and increases musical homogeneity and blurring of regional identities. We at Harmonia Records dont believe in that type of gibberish. And we definitely dont think its necessarily a bad thing for the world to play music together. If youre in doubt, put this record on your turntable, drop the needle to the groove and crank the volume up.If Ya Tosiba doesnt rock your boat, youre not from our planet anyway.
