Monday means more new music with Steph!

Starting your Monday morning bright and early is something completely out of the ordinary listening sphere: a clean cut straight from Cairo, Egypt circa 1950 – 60.  Belgium based label; Radio Martiko has tapped into the rich culture history of Cairo through their latest collective effort: “ZAMAAN YA SUKKAR”. The collection is a smorgasbord of colour and genre, which swings from swing to mambo to Bollywood orchestral, weaving genres with ease. The featured track, Fatouma – “Salim El Baroudi” is a sultry blend of middle eastern and classic Bollywood sounds.

Melborune’s MOJO JUJU is back with a deeply personal 3rd record entitled “Native Tongue”. The album is an eclectic mix of soul, RnB, Blues and Hip-Hop, which projects MOJO’s struggles growing up as a queer person of colour, highlighted in the featured track “Never Again”.

Ending new music today is British band Tunng. Their 6^th album, ‘Songs You Make at Night’, sees the band revert to their original line-up of 15 years ago. Their ability to invoke emotion is still present through their trademark fusion of idyllic acoustics and electronic synths, omnipresent through the featured track ‘Crow’.
