KU – HAUNTED DANCEHALL (SINGLE)
Our eyes and ears get bombarded every day with visual and audio overload, were caught in the cross fire of advertisers and magazines selling see through dreams, in the back of our heads there’s a voice saying ‘it’s not safe out there anymore’, and everyday things start to make less and less sense as struggle for survival goes on‘. In times of aversion most of us turn to our record collection for solace as music is the way we’ve always made sense of the world around us.
Every now and then a record breaks through the sonic threshold of banged out music from the wallet, you know it when you feel it and your soul responds accordingly by giving you an escape route from the merry go round. The record on the stereo doing the service for the soul is KU’s Haunted Dancehall, 4 minutes forty five second of soulful bliss.
The first single from a forthcoming album titled From ‘Sinners To Angels’ shows that the standards for quality British music is alive and well.
The KU’s objective is clear: to make great records, records that reflect what’s going on in the world around them. The Haunted Dancehall EP is a reggae soul influenced track which demonstrates that they can switch genres from rock to soul and dub effortlessly; you know they are coming from the soul and are on target to produce a great album. KU take their inspiration from classic rock, reggae and dub and the psychedelic Asian underground, creating a unique sound that is further underpinned by the quality of the songs.
Fronted by Darragh Jye who wrote the ‘Sinners To Angels’ album whilst producing and remixing other acts over the past ten years, were formed to put together a record that reflected these influences while making something new for the 21st century audience. It was recorded in the Kusha Deep Studios in the UK during in the summer of 2005 and is currently picking up incredible support from radio stations across the UK and Europe. Alpha X, the supreme world music producer who has been a favourite on all the Buddah Bar releases has remixed the track creating a post club chill epic with a hint of the Asian underground to it, perfect time off from your head music.
There’s five mixes on the single release all of which have escape from the madness stamped on them. Four produced by Darragh Jye and Orlando Allen have a soul deep roots flavour to them while Alpha X’s Brick Lane mix does the world chill vibe perfectly
The KU are currently signed to Kusha Deep. A label set up to keep the reigns of the creative flow and keep the independent rebel flag flying.
