This is the kind of music that makes M.Chutney dance around the living room with delight. I absolutely can’t wait to give her this album, so shhhh! Don’t tell her! Nickodemus is a DJ that has taken his skills to a whole other level on this record. You might know about his long-running Turntables on the Hudson parties, but don’t think that’s the limit of Nicodemus’ talent! Incorporating music from all over the globe, he has mixed tunes from many artists: Guinean born singer Ismael Kouyate, Indian classical & pop singer Falu, Richard Shepherd of Radio Mundial, Brazilian born singer Liliana of the band Maracatu, the versatile voice of Nuriya, members of Taraf de Haidouks, and The New York Gypsy Allstars. Dance music can be boring and repetitive or it can be interesting and really fucking fun. This teaser track, from the album, is a tantalizing mix of gypsy sounds, featuring a flute or clarinet, a kanun (stringed instrument like an oud), some darbuka or goblet drums and modern dance beats. Sun People is coming out June 16, I’m pre-ordering one, I encourage you to give this track a listen and see if you can keep from moving to it
