New Underground Soundz
We start 2019 with introducing two amazing and totally unique World Beat-Dance-Crossover acts, both touring during summer season 2019 and beyond.
So please feel free to get in touch!
Animanz (Live/UK)
Style: Exotica, Psyche, Jazz, Funk, Cumbia, Afro
London-based Animanz and their Congolese singer Juanita Euka. The genre-smashing collective was formed in 2013 and has just released their debut album ‘Exotic Other’ on Tru Thoughts.
Their sound unites flavours of rhumba, cumbia and afro with a punk attitude and electro-funk energy. Animanz say: “a melting pot; an all-inclusive party for everyone”.
Undeground System (Live/New York)
– in colaboration with AFX Agency
Style: Wave, Disco, Afro Beat, Crossover
At the crossroads of Antibalas and Talking Heads, this New York live band displays a radiant cosmopolitanism and invokes both afrobeat, and disco than no wave. Those who like to define themselves as „advocates of the cultural clash“ are far from the warlike opposition! Their mantra would rather be the perpetual search for a dance music likely to move any listener, whatever its cultural or musical references.
Signed on the Soul Clap label and defended by Rough Trade in publishing, Underground System has already released 2 EPs, and released its first album on September 7, 2018.
