Mbongwana Star, a newly formed 7-piece band from the Democratic Republic of Congo, are preparing for the May release their debut album, ‘From Kinshasa’, and associated European tour.
Oddisee makes music that rattles in your bone marrow. It’s imbued with love, honesty, and selflessness. It’s virtuosic in its musicality, direct in its language, and infinitely relatable.
In a landscape overrun with abstract indulgence and shallow trend-chasers, the Prince George’s County, Maryland artist has created 'The Good Fight', a record that reminds you that it’s music before it’s hip-hop. Released on Mello Music Group, it’s for the fans and for himself. It finds the musical heavyweight balancing between craft, career, and successfully growing into the world around him.
For Oddisee, 'The Good Fight' is about living fully as a musician without succumbing to the traps of hedonism, avarice, and materialism. It’s about not selling out and shilling for a paycheck, while still being aware that this is a business requiring compromise and collaboration.
Due out June 2015 on 2LP & CD, to pre-order please contact us at info@conch.co.nz
Pete Rock says: “I’m gearing up for the release of “Petestrumentals 2” with Mello Music Group. The first single “One, Two, A Few More” is actually a beat I made in 1995 and just sat on for years for the right moment. Now, I get a chance to release this and more new & unreleased music never heard by my fans with Mello. This instrumental LP will inspire the masses in anything you are doing. Just apply P2 to it and get on the road to success.”
On Thursday the 22nd of January, from 6pm Conch will host the album release of 'Conglomerate', a New Zealand music compilation compiled by Julien Dyne and released via Japanese record label Wonderful Noise.
