The One Handed Music artist discusses some of his influences past and present that have inspired his own approach to music making.
A new record from the drum-loving artist is due on One-Handed Music in March.
A highlight of the debut album from the Mauritian-English musician gets a self-explanatory video.
Artists that genuinely defy categorization are, in all honesty, a rarity, and it’s become somewhat clichéd to describe a producer’s output as “genre-straddling” or “impossible to pigeonhole”. More often than not this is journalistic code for “surprisingly eclectic”, or a sly indication that the writer is simply lost for words in the face of the kind of musical fusions that baffle and delight in equal measure. Mo Kolours, though, does genuinely defy easy categorization. His music is refreshingly different, thoroughly eccentric and, with the odd exception, utterly brilliant. Describing tracks becomes pointless; it’s easier to reel off a list of obvious influences than it is to accurately reflect the warmth, depth, honesty and soul of his sumptuously scratchy sonic world.
Self-titled set from the Anglo-Mauritian percussionist and singer due through regular home One-Handed Music in March.
One Handed Music will release Tusk Dance, the final part of a 12″ trilogy from Mo Kolours, next February.
Mo Kolours recent Banana Wine EP for the One Handed Music imprint has been sneaking back onto the Juno Plus office turntable with increasing regularity since it dropped the other week, not least for the excellent Beautiful Swimmers remix housed deep into the flip.
