PRESS:
"FOUR STARS. Breaks,house,reggae, exotic vocals...Shinjuku Zulu is a cd that warrants repeated listens" -MONTREAL GAZETTE

"FOUR STARS. Sheer brilliance, haunting vocals...top ten CDs of the year" -THE GLOBE & MAIL

"' ...high tech boom cut with voodoo...the most casually efficient encapsulation of culture clash we've ever heard... 'Shanghai Masai' .. featuring Shankhini, is stark skittering electronic hip hop [that segues from] M.I.A. to Prince..." - Anti-Hit List "The best new music outside the mainstream" -TORONTO STAR

"Impressive...create[s] three-headed songs by grafting cultures onto collaged beasts that growl with different tongues..."Be My Woman Be My Man" comes replete with DFA grooves and Herbert snorts..."We Do Supersonic" and "Dirty Liar" will have your dance floor moving..."Rainbowbeau" sees Larissa Gomes bouncing her voice off soft clouds of pizzicato strings...my favorite is "Make Me Shake" [with] sentences that say so incredibly much with so little...as devastating as anything else this year...often surprising... Make Me Shake, Da Riddim Griffin, and Coal Coal Black [are] fantastic." -COKEMACHINEGLOW

"...especially ambitious trans-continental mash-ups...melds components elegantly into compositions that sound surprisingly natural...great moments, like when "Make Me Shake" leaps from synth-shamisen-encrusted grime-pop to reggae to tango, "Dirty Liar", the surprisingly listenable country-electro-hip-hop number ("Chemical Brothers, Dust Brothers, O Brother, quips the song's ven diagram), astonishes when it slides seamlessly all the way into banjo-driven folk, "Massive Ballerina" manages to dodge effortlessly from spacey computer-narrated-ambiance to rolling techno-rock...Stick-in-your-head melodies and enough stylistic ADD to stay fresh..."Various Chimeras" is on solid footing in the current mash-up-informed, pop cultural petri-dish." -POPMATTERS

""Various Chimeras" is a cosmopolitan musical sponge...a smooth, electronic pastiche featuring hippie sloganeering and rave-ready sensory overload.... The strongest cut is "Shanghai Masai", and fare like the choral/hip-hop of "My Man Amen" or Kraut-rocking "We Do Supersonic" play to Shinjuku Zulu's strengths..." -EYE Magazine

"Good dubby house, good electronic dancehall...'Sonorous Susurrus' is minimalistic, melancholly...", & " 'Various Chimeras' is classic hipster material... "We Do Supersonic" and "Shanghai Masai" represent urban dance at its best." -EXCLAIM!

"Like Kevin Yost spinning Everything But the Girl with Mad Professor remixes...a master at aural collage" -THE HERALD

"The worldly sound of Shinjuku Zulu...sweltering breakbeat for the summertime heat from the cooking cobblestones of Toronto!" -CBC Radio

"...really f**king good...'Shanghai Masai' is brilliant" -
YOUTH (remixer/producer U2, the Orb, etc)


"I bought "Various Chimeras" because of the artist's name and the bizarre song clips, thinking it would be some sort of Duran-Durany-Hungry-Like-The-Wolfy-Shaka-Khany-bad-Eighties-world mishmash music. I was wrong." -by Horseface (a cleary-disappointed-interweb-afficianado-of-Duran-Durany-Hungry-Like-The-Wolfy-Shaka-Khany-bad-Eighties-world mishmash music.)

***BOOG015 Lucius Lowe ft Lois Taylor - Sweet music***

Lucius Lowe brings one of his earliest productions "Sweet music" bang up-to-date on the latest release from Boogs Music. The package brings three different flavours to your record box - The classic, smooth vocal house sound of the "High on the groove mix," Hard-hitting club sounds from the "Thru the roof mix" and the deep and soulful groove of the original 2003 mix. Featuring haunting vocals from newcomer Lois Taylor, the package gives an accurate measure of how Lucius' production skills have been honed between composition of the original 2003 mix and more recent remixes. The "Thru the roof mix" also marks Lucius' first commercial release, included on the compilation CD "Dancefloor '06" from Manchester's D6 Records. Think Ian Carey meets the Groove Junkies and you won't be far off with this excellent offering from Boogs Music...

Available 9th december, pre-release promo's out NOW at TRAXSOURCE & JUNO DOWNLOAD
