Weird Together are to release their new
EP 'No Compromise' via Soundway
Records.
Helmed by Tokyo based New Zealand
journalist, DJ and music encyclopaedia
Nick Dwyer and legendary Auckland based
English music producer and DJ Dick
"Magik J" Johnson, Weird Together is
one of the most globally minded dance
music projects to emerge from the South
Pacific in recent times.
Formed two and a half years ago as a
studio project, Weird Together began as
an opportunity for the two to turn
their hand to fashioning their own
idiosyncratic re-imaginings of their
favourite regional dance music genres
from Africa, South America and the
Caribbean. After securing a prime spot
at the Splore Music Festival in 2012
they formed a live band with Karima
Madut (vocals), Mavs Adegbite
(percussion/vocals), Izak Chadderton
(steel pan), Alesano Schuster (steel
pan), The Gaza Tripp (guitar) and
Yonier Cuevas Vega (MC), in the process
successfully bringing their music from
the studio to the stage.
Infectiously fun live entertainers,
Weird Together are rapidly shifting
gears from influenced to influencers.
While they originated at the bottom of
the map, the impact of their borderless
new weird internationalism could soon
be felt everywhere.
NB: Encoded from WAVE format.
