Mo Kolours x Wax Poetics - 'The Drum Walking' Mixtape

Mo Kolours is new on the scene after recently releasing his interesting 'EP:1 - Drum Talking' on One Handed Music.

He has just combined with super-music mag Wax Poetics to release a mix tape with an interesting twist.

He has listed all of the drummers form each track as the "track name" rather than the actual title of the song.

Mo Kolours - 'Drum Talking' EP + FREE DL

Bandcamp strikes again!!!

Fresh in the inbox today, Mo Kolours debut EP 'Drum Talking'.

I posted a while back about his sneaky little Afro-tronic (did I just coin that phrase? ;) track 'Biddies'

From his Bandcamp blurb:

"Some records seem to come out of nowhere. Witness this debut EP by the half-Mauritian percussionist & singer Mo Kolours, which unites an array of more familiar influences with the Sega music of his island roots.


The rhythms lead the way here, whether the straight percussive workout of Drum Talking or the crafty vocal manipulation that drives the low-slung bump of Biddies, a song that traces an imaginary line between Theo Parrish and Gonjasufi.


Dead of Night mines the symbolism of The Beatles’ outwardly chirpy Blackbird while his own Bakiraq (like Burt, the songwriter) resembles a soul classic pieced together from fragments around the flickering light of a fire.

Features the first ever remix behind the connoisseur's edit label of choice: Truth Is Light."

A while back I posted about this new-comer's single 'Biddies'...

I tell you now, this new EP is the real deal. Beautiful African rhythms with dubbed-out bass lines ('Bakiraq') and sweet electronically programmed click-clap drums ('Drum Talking' - FREE DL), and the Dilla-like wobble lope of '8 Hours'.

If you're fast enough you can cop a pre-order of the limited first-run copies of the vinyl HERE.

Mo Kolours - 'Biddies'

This just appeared in my inbox today.

I know only what I have just read about Mo Kolours, and that is very little.

But I am digging this sound; 'Biddies' appeals to my insatiable taste for clicking, programmed drums and African sound-scapes. Throw in a groove line and like Erykah Badu you got me.

Head over to the man's Bandcamp for goodie-bags of DL's.
