Greetings,

we hope you all had a good start into 2019.

Dogu has spent a couple of months in East Africa by the end of 2018 to do some research and recording sessions for our upcoming ZIK ZAK album. The album will be out in August 2019 and strictly features collaborations with african singers, rappers and musicians. Yes, the focus for this album is on Africa. That continent always has been a huge influence for our music and it holds so much undiscovered talents that it was just about time to dedicate a whole album to the black continent. More news about that album soon!

Dogu, who is Switchstance Recordings founder Tom Strauch, does a bi-monthly live Afrobeat and Reggae night in Cologne / Germany called Family Affairs Cologne and the next episode is this coming saturday, the 9th of February. Here is a little video teaser for the night which features some photos and impressions of the beauty of Mama Africa. The music in the video is by Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti:

We love Mama Africa! The black continent is where rhythms and grooves come from. That´s a fact. From a workshop series about music business, artist self management and music recording  in northern Uganda Dogu came back with a bunch of killer vocals by some unknown local talents. Kabanjak added some music and here now we present you a FREE DOWNLOAD of the RHYTHM IS LIFE compilation.

It is a Name Your  Price campaign so you either type in zero as your Price and download it for free or you donate something  to the Nyinomugisha Niyabo Foundation that make all this possible. All money is invested into future projects and studio productions of this young local talents.

Next week Dogu will fly to Uganda again to start rehearsals for the ZIK ZAK East Africa Tour 2018 which be going through Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. ZIK ZAK is our new upcoming album project that lays focus on fresh african talents. here is a list of all tour stops:

After having our song “SUFFOC-HATE” with Asphate of Maxilla Blue out via Bandcamp and the sad story about police brutality, mostly against people of colour, in the US not having stopped, we decided the give the song an official release. This is dedicated to all people who have passed away and got maltreated through the hands of those who are there “to serve and protect”:
