Some fans of Kind & Kinky Zoo think that this is a little seventies gem that they discovered thanks to algorithms. They broadcast these songs since a few years back and the fact is, their live music allowed to share stage with the greatest funkateers on the planet such as lee fields, Osaka monaurail, Antibalas, Calibro 35, but also Ryozo Band. When Touring in Japan, they featured Koperu on several tracks as a Freestyle MC and decided to record the 'Ghost Fuji' track right away ! Sharing the same love of Breaking and BBoying, if was all naturally that they connected with Soulsupreme, whom they had met in the cyphers almost a decade ago, to synch together on a jazz-to-modern breakbeat galore of their Pamukkale track. To be enjoyed with fresh eggs & pancake! Artist Profiles:Kind & Kinky ZooA four-piece funk band founded in Lausanne, Switzerland in 2005. They have released singles and albums on European labels such as Mocambo, Legere, and Rocafort Record, and in August 2020, they released 'HOT LOVE / PORNISHEAD (7')' from Funk Night in the US.

His acclaimed 45 records with reinterpretations of classic material by A Tribe Called Quest, J Dilla, Madvillain, Mos Def, and Grandmaster Flash show how he carefully studies and dissects music to flip things upside down for something entirely new. Serving as tributes to both the sampled originals as well as the golden-era productions-a spirit also heard in his original compositions on 2020's self-titled album.The Amsterdam-based, Jerusalem-born keyboardist, DJ & producer first released music in 2018 under the moniker of Love's High, on Chicago's Star Creature record label. A year later, his first 45 with his own versions of 'The Message' (Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five) and 'Umi Says' (Mos Def) on Tugboat Edits set the blueprint for the records to follow under the alias of Soul Supreme.'It's kind an ironic: these songs are interpretations, but almost everything is different, ' Soul Supreme said about his versions of two A Tribe Called Quest classics in early 2020. 'The harmony, the melodies, the instruments that are used for each part, the structure... I want to take the listener on a trip through music they know, but from a different perspective.' That approach has been praised and played live by Jazzy Jeff, Lord Finesse, DJ Koco, Z-Trip, Rich Medina, Skratch Bastid, among many others, with radio airplay by the likes of Gilles Peterson, Huey Morgan, and LeftO.With an acoustic piano, Fender Rhodes, Moog Sub37, and a Sequential OB6 as his tools of the trade to get the job done, he independently released a series of sought-after, instantly sold-out 45s on his own label, Soul Supreme Records. That was followed by an official full-length album in 2020 with his own compositions. With influences ranging from jazz-funk to house music, and from broken beat to hip-hop production. A new LP is currently in the works and slated for release in 2023.As a DJ, Soul Supreme has supported acts including DJ Shadow, Damu The Fudgemunk, Boogie Blind, DJ Day, and Shortkut (of The Beat Junkies) throughout the years. These days, Soul Supreme has been taking the stage for DJ-sets again in Amsterdam, New York, Paris, Berlin, Cologne, among other cities.'KOPERURapper, born in Osaka.
