Territories: Europe + UKThis album is a further mexploration into the world of Angel-Ho, defining their sonic pallet with Jazz Funk Soul Disco and Pop, Angel-Ho takes us on a journey through time when listened from beginning to end! The story is in the details, garnering a foundation as Angel-Ho as a story teller. Angel-Ho met Robbie Boney in June and they mentioned they make Jazz, « To my amazement I was like this is what I have been manifesting! » Angel-Ho set out every month to at least record one Jazz track and go back and forth to create the sonic language of their soul, they have dug in archives of their work unearthing tracks that would feature such as Your Life, glittered by the guitar of Robbie Boney. Enemy turned into an 80s pop revival departing ways with Angel-Hos negativity and as a mantra for those seeking calm in their relationships, to let go… Angel-Ho also has won the SBYAward for Performing Arts 2023, and will be showcasing their album in a show in June 2024!

Despite sometimes also working with acoustic music, sound in most of Andrea’s pieces does not belong to the earthly species. What the artist really does is just drag the cosmic sounds into the earthly hemispheres.NIKNAK [UK]https://niknakdjmusic.bandcamp.com/album/ireti-2Availability: On request
