DJ House Shoes is most famous for introducing J Dilla to Detroit and the world. He was the first to break his records, and has consistantly been instrumental in promoting Dilla's legacy to the world. Aside from that, he's a true dj vet who has a rich history contributing to hip hop culture. 9th Wonder...well, you know who he is. House Shoes and 9th got into a twitter exchange over Shoes' comments about the Zulu Nation. Dunno why a hip hop vet would go out of his way to diss the Zulu's, solely on [...]
London five piece Zulu Winter recently released their album 'Language' via Toronto label Arts & Crafts. The group had originally signed to to Play It Again Sam in the UK, a part of PIAS Entertainment Group. Here are some from the band about today's featured track 'Bitter Moon': " This is one of the oldest songs on the album and - as songs that lie around often do - has undergone quite a bit of fiddling and re-structuring. However, we stuck with it because the beat and the melody together present a [...]

Nous sommes en décembre, c'est bientôt noël et nous aussi avons décidé de vous gâter. Si vous êtes passés à côté de « Zulu Guru » début novembre, vous avez fait une grave erreur ! Ce premier album issu de la collaboration de l’auteur-interprète Jesse Boykins et du producteur/MC MeLo-X est un bijou musical. Avec Zulu Guru, le binôme réussit à rassembler une collection de morceaux qui définissent une nouvelle direction pour le hip-hop/R'n'B, que ce soit au niveau de la production ou des lyrics. Ils nous livrent un album décalé dans la [...]
Una de las bandas que debuta en nuestro país es Zulu Winter , una banda londinense aparentemente joven pero que lleva más de 10 años trabajando. Editaron este año su álbum de larga duración debut llamado Language , el cual se puede encontrar en México a través del sello Arts & Crafts México . Platicamos con Iain Lock sobre la falta de una escena musical en Londres, lo que representa el ser nombrado "The Next Big Thing" y la banda que ellos creen será la nueva gran cosa.

Although Q-Tip didn't make an appearance on Cruel Summer , his G.O.O.D. Music debut is set to drop some time in 2013. In an attempt to restore some legitimacy into the label that has continued to put out second-rate pop rap like Big Sean and 2 Chainz , Q-Tip assures us he will be bringing lots of boom-bap and lyrical content to the forefront. Yes, the album is called The Last Zulu , which Tip seems to hint will consist entirely of his own production. While we would have [...]
Depois do atómico "We Should Be Swimming", haveria que investigar que grupo britânico seria este que mistura várias essências exóticas para construir um belo mix onde o absinto seria rei. Zulu Winter, banda que anda a mexer o Reino Unido e a pôr a minha cabeça em modo rodopio, é a responsável pelo álbum 'Language', marcante para o ano de 2012. Talvez o début do ano? Poético, solene e épico,

Up and coming London five-some Zulu Winter have released their infant album, “Language,” this May, blending the ever-growing niche of electro-indie with undulating vocals even a mainstream listener could appreciate. The band has released three singles prior to dropping their album, grabbing the attention of many with “We Should Be Swimming” and “Silver Tongue” earning the title of Hottest Record in the World on Zane Lowe’s BBC radio show. The established UK band, Keane, even offered the band a spot on tour with them for 2012 Strangeland, which Zulu Winter obviously accepted. After spending a year working on [...]
My love grows ever deeper for this band from our Eastern cousins. UK's Zulu Winter have just released their debut album, Language via Arts & Crafts Records, and I dare say after listening, it (all of it) is good. The songs flow and spread out from a still, peaceful place, but the result is a series of songs [...]
A week ago we mentioned that the entire Language album from Zulu Winter can be streamed on Soundcloud . We streamed, we listened and we loved "Silver Tongue" along with most of the other tracks. The UK fivesome's magic in this track blends a catchy refrain, slowly plucked guitars and a progressive ensemble of drums and tempo-pacing bass. For people who loved Beach House's "Norway" or Nada Surf in general, this should be somewhat in line with the vibe from those artists. The group just finished up a tour of the U.S., and will [...]
Zulu Winter shows us a bit of the vulnerable side with 'Bitter Moon'. Their debut LP, Body Language , was released Tuesday and has all the right music taste makers buzzing with delight. So take a listen to 'Bitter Moon', if you enjoy it Zulu Winter has been kind enough to offer it up for free. Zulu Winter Facebook Zulu Winter Twitter You may also enjoy...: [...]
Depending on which side of the critical fence—or the pond, in this case—you stand, being described as “the new Snow Patrol”, “a sort of rhythmical Coldplay”, and opening for Keane could pass for either praise or thinly veiled judgment. So far, Oxfordshire fivesome Zulu Winter have earned such comments from their countrymen, who have hailed them as the new Vaccines after the release of singles like “We Should Be Swimming” and “Never Leave” off their debut LP, Language . Whether American audiences will be as impressed remains to be seen, since the band’s [...]
Who would've thought that a band named Zulu Winter would make music that was perfect for an American Summer. And that a song called "Bitter Moon" would end up sounding more like a sweet sun. Isn't it ironic, don't ya think? Zulu Winter - Bitter Moon by Arts & Crafts iTunes Language - Zulu Winter

Right, here’s the plan: take all your jumpers, fleeces, woolly hats and the like and place them in a circle in which you stand wearing your best speedos or bikini. Next shout ‘You are not part of my life for 3 months’ at your nearest radiator or fire. Then listen to the following blast of instrumental joy and wonder from The Voodoo Trombone Quartet (released on Download/limited 7”/CD, on July 30 th , on Braces Tower Recordings ). This will bring in summer. Repeat and soak up the Vitamin D. In future years the whole process will [...]
