   About Eccodek


SHIVABOOM

Nominated for 2009 Juno

'World Album of the Year'

Available on White Swan World

Rising from the underground of Toronto’s multicultural music melting pot, Eccodek’s visionary blend of downtempo grooves, tribal electronica and world dub is quickly capturing the attention of the international music scene, moving Global Rhythm to declare that, “ECCODEK reveals the face of global music.” Andrew McPherson – the mastermind behind the ECCODEK sound – collaborated for several years with musicians from around the world before the 2004 Canadian indie release of his much-anticipated debut recording, More Africa In Us. This deeply hypnotic, afro-dub groovefest created an immediate stir locally, with Errol Nazareth of Toronto’s eye Weekly boldly describing it as “one of the most outstanding contemporary dub albums to come out of this country!” The Boston Globe proclaimed “McPherson’s undeniable talents as a sonic architect", while Allmusic Guide simply said “Brilliant”.

Canadian producer Andrew McPherson returns to the global music arena with the follow up to 2004’s widely acclaimed More Africa in Us. ECCODEK’S Voices have eyes continues to explore the crossroads where global groove, dub and electronica meet. With six featured singers on the album from countries as diverse as Mali, Turkey, Fiji, Rwanda, Nigeria and India, and a live 6 piece band presentation, this release looks to be as genre defying as the last.

No stranger to collaboration, Andrew has worked with a host of Canadian and international talent. Canada’s Natalie MacMaster, Jane Siberry, Philosopher Kings, Ireland’s Andy White, Seattle’s Pigeonhed and Iceland’s gusgus have all benefited from his distinctive textural production approach. In 2006 Andrew signed a North American deal with White Swan World/Rykodisc, recently rubbed shoulders with artists Karsh Kale, Antibalas, Nitin Sawhney and Bombay Dub Orchestra when invited to contribute to National Geographic’s GeoRemix project and has just completed a remix available for download of ‘Wosoubour’ by Vieux Farka Touré, son of the late two-time Grammy winner, Ali Farka Touré. It would seem the eccodek bushfire is starting to catch.

Voices have eyes features the mesmerising talent of Malian kora master Mansa Sissoko, the seductive vocals of ghazal singer Kiran Ahluwalia, the Fijian powerhouse Akuila Qumi and the tribal meltdown of Fiji’s Savusavu Choir among others. Rest assured the familiar bone rattling bass, spaced out production, hypnotising grooves and soaring exotic melodies are all here, taking on a fierce power when presented live by the six piece groove juggernaut. With Voices have eyes ECCODEK continues to expand on the global groove and dub palate shaped by such innovators as African Head Charge, Bill Laswell, Mad Professor and Kruder and Dorfmeister.

Read on some of the wonderful press for the album More Africa in Us.

Many thanks for the acceptance and your kind words.

Great projects, beautiful music, refreshing productions. Your music reminds me some of the best works of the supergroup Material, and solo works of Nicky Skopelitis, FM Suso and Ginger Baker...

Best wishes for health and happiness,
