SUMMARY:Compagnie Hervé KOUBI
DESCRIPTION:“They Fly. They Spin. They Change How You See the Amazing.”\n—The New York Times\nAbsolutely unique and utterly original\, this fearless\, powerful company reigns from France\, Algeria\, and beyond. Combining contemporary and urban dance movements\, capoeira\, and martial arts with powerful imagery and inspired choreography\, the dancers defy gravity. Inspired by Algerian author Yasmina Khadra’s novel\, What The Day Owes To The Night traces Koubi’s own personal lineage as a French-Algerian choreographer. After learning about his family’s Algerian roots\, Koubi returned to the country of his ancestors to collaborate with streetdance performers from across the Mediterranean basin. What emerged is “a creation of poetic beauty” (The New York Times)\, a meditative yet strikingly athletic work about the ties that bind us.\nNamed after the “invincible sun” deity\, the work Sol Invictus upholds love as the guarantor of peace\, that despite fracture\, communion emerges as humanity’s saving grace. The music score includes a composition by Swedish composer Mikael Karlsson\, with excerpts by Steve Reich and digital composer Maxime Bodson. “I want to talk about light\, solidarity\, and those bonds that unite us\,” says Koubi. “Here\, the sun and the dance will emerge victorious.”

SUMMARY:Blues Traveler
DESCRIPTION:Blues Traveler was formed in 1987 by singer/harmonica player John Popper\, guitarist Chan Kinchla\, bassist Bobby Sheehan\, and drummer Brendan Hill; the band was part of a revival of the extended jamming style of ’60s and ’70s groups like the Grateful Dead and Led Zeppelin. Blues Traveler were on the vanguard of the jam band scene of the 1990s\, the first of their generation to sign to a major label\, and one of a handful to experience genuine commercial success when the naggingly catchy “Run-Around” went into the Billboard Top Ten in 1995. By that point\, Blues Traveler had already carved themselves a place within the firmament of modern rock\, earning a loyal audience through their sweaty improvs of blues-based rock and coalescing their peers by launching the H.O.R.D.E. Festival in 1992. One of several Lollapalooza-inspired touring fests\, H.O.R.D.E. illustrated the large audience for jam bands and helped push Blues Traveler toward the top of the charts with their 1994 album Four going platinum six times. They didn’t stay in the upper reaches of Billboard for long\, but they never faded away. They worked steadily throughout the 2000s and beyond\, sometimes experimenting — 2015’s Blow Up the Moon was littered with unexpected cameos — but always returning to the blues as their foundation\, a debt underscored by the 2021 blues covers album Traveler’s Blues.

SUMMARY:Young Gun Silver Fox
DESCRIPTION:Musical chemistry is a rare\, intangible thing. But for Andy Platts and Shawn Lee\, the creative force behind Young Gun Silver Fox the unmalleable\, unspoken connection that gives their work such a unique and distinctive sound was apparent from their first experiences in a studio together.\nAlongside their now decade plus long tenure as Young Gun Silver Fox where they have built up a growing fanbase which includes the likes of Hans Zimmer\, Jeff Lynne\, and The Black Pumas to name a few \, both have already received plaudits for their individual creative excursions. American born\, UK based musician Shawn Lee through his own extensive catalogue of recordings with the likes of Shawn Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra and his well-received solo albums\, as well as a go to award winning producer and multi-instrumentalist for the likes of James Morrison and Joel Culpepper\, and more recently musical director and drummer for the legendary Asha Puthli in Europe\, USA & Australia .\nMeanwhile the multi-talented Andy Platts is the chief songwriter and leader of much loved Brit-soul sensations Mamas Gun. He’s also clocked up a plethora of song writing collaborations with legends such as Rod Temperton and Brian Jackson\, as well as writing songs for the forthcoming album of rising UK soul star MT Jones for this forthcoming debut album and they both co wrote the title track of the latest Take That album ‘This Life’ which went to number 1 in the UK charts.\nOf their initial hook up Shawn explains that “It was about 2006 when we came across each other on Myspace and I checked out Andy and saw that he knew a couple of the same people\, and I was impressed with his talents so I sent him a message saying we should hook up and do something\, and he never got back to me of course! But maybe it was around 2009 when we first spoke.”\nTaking their name from Andy’s standing as youngest band member and Shawn’s resplendent silver locks\, and sensing they were kindred musical spirits\, the duo set about crafting their 2015 debut West End Coast\, bonding over a shared love of the smooth sounds of ’70s pop-soul and artist’s such as Ned Doheny\, Hall & Oates\, Steely Dan and the breezy\, west coast stylings that had been in Shawn’s musical DNA since his youth. “I remember at one point thinking Steely Dan was the ultimate group because they had hit singles and were on the radio and I’m like ‘man they’re accessible and they’re in the mainstream but their music is so sophisticated and so musical and they have the best playing and the best arrangements.’ I just thought if you could do that then you’ve won\, that’s the ultimate thing musically for me that if I could do something like that\, that had all those qualities but was still accessible then you’re killing it. Music like that and bands like that are rare\, it’s a really special thing. And there’s something about Young Gun Silver Fox that’s winning on those two fronts.”\nThe release of their 2015 debut album West End Coast was timely\, riding in at the beginning of an overdue reappraisal of the previously maligned world of music that became (unfairly) grouped under the then fashionable ‘Yacht Rock’ tag\, and Young Gun Silver Fox came straight out the box with a perfectly curated record that fused all the best components of mid ’70s to early ’80s contemporary pop and soul. Much to their own surprise\, the band immediately found its audience. “We were surprised\,” explains Andy\, “we were making it for us and we thought we’d try and put it out and it would be great to even play it live but we had no idea that it would find the audience that we hoped it might find\, and we got really lucky in places like Holland where it really took off and we were playing big venues.”\nIf West End Coast lit a musical spark then follow up AM Waves\, released in 2018 fanned the flames and helped turn Young Gun Silver Fox into a self-made success story\, showing a growing synergy between the two musicians that shone through on tunes like the deep\, funky pop of ‘Caroline’\, ‘Lenny’s deceptively poignant balladry and the beachside disco of ‘Kingston Boogie’. “After the first album was done it was like ‘yeah\, this really works and this feels good’ and we’d only just scratched the surface of it” says Andy. “So by the time we hit AM Waves we were really confidently digging in and chomping at the bit really.”\nContinuing to build on the reputation forged from their recorded output\, Shawn and Andy followed up with stellar live shows and a touring schedule that took them round the world\, finding fans in the many far flung corners of the world and securing the endorsement of musical legends. “I was surprised to discover how many Brazilian musicians were fans when I was in Rio doing some recording\,” enthuses Shawn\, “and I was very pleased to hear that Jeff Lynne from ELO was a big fan.”\n2020’s Canyons cemented the band as a permanent fixture in people’s hearts and minds and elevated them to the status afforded on their own musical heroes\, nailing the tricky skill of making deceptively layered and richly arranged music sound effortless. Whether through the easy rolling groove of opener ‘Kids’\, euphoric horn blasts of ‘Dream Woman’ or masterful song writing of closing piano ballad ‘All This Love’\, this was band reveling in reaching new heights.\nThe pandemic induced lockdown provided time for the duo to reflect but not to rest on their laurels\, and October 2022 saw the band release their fourth work to date\, the aptly titled Ticket To Shangri La\, a culmination of everything the band do best\, and a record that transports you to musical paradise the second the piano stabs of opener ‘Still Got It Goin’ On’ kick in and the one-two sucker punch of second track (and the albums lead single) ‘West Side Jet’ lifts you off your feet with its four to the floor rhythm and joy-inducing chorus.\nThe last albums genesis came from the sharing of songs and recordings online\, with each member embellishing the other’s tunes\, whether that was Andy adding melodies and lyrics or Shawn laying down extra instrumentation. Says Andy of the process; “When Shawn sends me stuff all the musical variables are done so it’s out of my hands and that’s great but it’s horrible as well\, because I get to see Shawn’s mind working and he’s given me his stuff but I might think ‘I wouldn’t put that chord there I’d do that’ and I think ‘oh fuck\, how do I work with this!’ I really enjoy that because it keeps you on your toes and you don’t rest on your laurels\, you gotta bring your ‘A’ game and scrub up!” And although Shawn’s desire was to up the groove factor on this album\, as always it comes down to choosing the absolute best songs. “I knew it was gonna be coming down to what the best songs are\, I do think it’s an album of bangers though\, the whole first five or six songs hit you and there hasn’t been another one of our records like that\, it’s strong man.”\nThree years later the band are preparing to release their fifth album ‘Pleasure’\, after an insanely busy year completing their largest US tour to date in 2024 as well as touring Europe\, including supporting The Black Pumas both in the US & UK\, who personally asked for them to support them\, as they are such big fans of the band.\n‘Pleasure’ took on a different and more personable recording process\, after four albums with both musicians laying down ideas in their own studios and sending files back and across via email. Shawn in London and Andy in Norfolk\, this album Shawn travelled to Andy’s studio The Prairie for four days in December 2024 and back again in January 2025. The duo commenced furiously writing & recording ideas from a completely blank slate. Over half of the album’s 10 songs were birthed from these in-person sessions. This was a real game changer and evolution of the game for Andy and Shawn.\nThe only additional musicians on the album are the horn players. Nichol Thomson trombone & arrangements\, Tom Walsh on trumpet & Graeme Blevins on sax and flute. The rest is handled by Andy and Shawn. Andy engineered these sessions and the album was later mixed & finished at Shawn’s London studio with Pierre Duplan\, helping engineer and mix it.\n“At this point YGSF are continuing to build on their back catalogue and we are constantly thinking about using our collective strengths to evolve”\, explains Andy.\nWhat happens next is open to fate\, but one certainty is that Andy and Shawn will continue to come up with the goods. “The ‘West Coast’ vibe was really a jumping off point initially\,” says Andy. “The more music we make\, the more it really is all about what Shawn & I do together naturally\, and so that’s evolving the MO of the whole project all the time in a really natural way.”

SUMMARY:40 Below Summer
DESCRIPTION:Since 1988\, Cannibal Corpse have been at the forefront of death metal\, having helped shape and define the genre\, and creating a seminal\, incomparable body of work in the decades that followed. In 2021 they raised the stakes again with 15th album Violence Unimagined\, growing ever more complex and intense\, and now they return with its successor\, the equally monstrous Chaos Horrific\, starting a new chapter in their legacy. Written closely after the conclusion of the Violence Unimagined sessions due to the pandemic preventing them from touring like usual\, echoes of that album exist in Chaos Horrific\, but this is a whole new beast of its own. “To me this album feels sort of like a continuation of Violence Unimagined. The style is quite similar\, but individually none of the songs on Chaos Horrific sound like songs on Violence Unimagined\,” says bassist Alex Webster. “It’s a full-on death metal album\, Cannibal Corpse style\, and a very natural progression from Violence Unimagined.”\nWhile the band have always been noted for their technicality and complex songwriting\, this does not define where the writing process takes them. “I believe that our songwriting has progressed in a manner where every song paves its own path whether it be a straightforward song or a technical song\, sometimes a mix of both\, so there’s no preconceived idea that we want to be more technical. The music just sort of takes its own course\,” explains guitarist Rob Barrett. The band also had no specific plan for the record\, always approaching each one with an open mind\, just intent on writing the best songs that they can. “When we create a new record the writing flows freely and organically\,” says guitarist/producer Erik Rutan. “One thing I had hoped for with the writing of Chaos Horrific was that the material would push the envelope a bit in a slightly different direction than Violence Unimagined; expand the dynamics\, explore new territory without departing from what Cannibal Corpse is and always shall be. That naturally happened and is exactly what we achieved with this album.” The band also continue to uphold their legacy as they sonically progress and evolve with each and every release\, never repeating themselves and working hard to make every song unique. With the intention of making albums on which every song is potentially the standout they have certainly pulled this off on Chaos Horrific’s ten tracks\, showcasing a broad range of dynamics that propel the whole thing thrillingly. Kicking off with the aptly titled “Overlords Of Violence” they are in full on attack mode\, the track a straight down the line rampant aural assault designed to kill. Then there are the likes of “Frenzied Feeding” and “Blood Blind”\, the former alternating between high speed technical aggression and deeply atmospheric mid-tempo ugliness\, and the latter a brutal\, loping chug-fest that carries so much sonic weight it is quite devastating\, but literally any track could be singled out. Likewise\, every track stands apart from those alongside them\, but together they make so much sense\, the record flowing seamlessly.\nWith the album named by drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz\, the members all felt it was a great representation of the band\, as is always the intention\, and lyrically they linger in typically dark and twisted territory. Subjects covered include resetting the human race through mass mutilations (“Blood Blind”)\, fighting off hordes of zombies (“Chaos Horrific”)\, the selection of a random individual to be dismembered and sacrificed (“Summoned For Sacrifice”)\, and the violent revenge of victims of human trafficking (“Vengeful Invasion”). The album artwork – by longtime collaborator Vince Locke – is also suitably Cannibal Corpse-esque\, featuring a chaotic tangle of the living and the undead\, which evokes the lyrics of the title track.\nHaving now produced six Cannibal Corpse albums – starting with 2006’s Kill – this is Rutan’s second release as a full fledged member\, having officially joined in 2020\, and his contributions have only improved the band. “He already was part of the Cannibal Corpse family so his transition from producer to guitarist/songwriter/producer was seamless\,” says Webster. “Erik’s a super hard worker so somehow he’s able to do all of those things at the highest level. We were already very comfortable working with him\, and it’s only gotten better. We’re energized and excited about the future\, and Erik’s contributions are a big part of that.” Adds Rutan\, “I feel like every album we’ve worked on together has progressed forward with a better understanding of each other\, allowing us to push each other further even more to get the best out of one another.”\nTracking at Rutan’s studio\, Mana Recording in Florida\, the band’s home state\, was comfortable for all involved\, though required everyone to work hard and be at the top of their game. Things went smoothly\, and smoother than ever on the guitar front due to Barrett and Rutan having “custom guitars built with longer scale necks to hold the proper intonation necessary for lower tunings\, which drastically reduced the hours spent on trying to track guitar that stays in tune throughout the session\,” says Barrett. Webster asserts that it was a lot of hard work\, and that “there’s a lot of attention to detail in the studio. We try to get the best possible tones from our gear\, and capture the best possible performances. This can take a lot of time and effort but the end result is absolutely worth it.” Rutan states that the sessions were a “powerhouse”\, with so much effort going into what has emerged as a massive album\, further asserting that “everything about recording albums is hard but damn I love doing it! Creating albums\, something that will last an eternity beyond our time\, is something so very special\, and every album we create I feel very grateful to have such an opportunity to do so.”\nWith the pandemic behind them\, Cannibal Corpse were thrilled to hit the road again in 2022\, finally able to unleash the Violence Unimagined tracks live. “We’re so grateful to be able to get back out there and play for all of our fans\,” says Webster. “We’ve always enjoyed it\, but after being forced off of the road for almost two years we appreciate the opportunity to play live that much more\, and we are so thankful for all of the fans who’ve come out to the shows since we’ve been back at it. It’s great to see you all again!” They are already looking ahead to the touring in support of Chaos Horrific\, every track on there destined to go off like a bomb when played live\, and the band are primed and ready to destroy everything in their path. Though they have not given much thought to the fact that 2023 is their 35th anniversary\, Rutan sums up how everybody feels about this milestone. “I think it is such an amazing feat. It speaks to the work ethic and dedication that everyone has put into Cannibal Corpse. When you think about how many bands never make it a decade\, let alone three plus\, it is such a testament to the creativity aspect and determination and loyalty towards what we do.”

SUMMARY:Gipsy Kings Featuring Nicolas Reyes
DESCRIPTION:Nicolas Reyes has been the leader and co-founder of the Gipsy Kings for well over 30 years. In the past three decades\, they have dominated the World Music charts and sold more than 14 million albums worldwide. Their platinum compilation\, The Best of the Gipsy Kings\, was charting for over a year upon its release and their ninth studio album\, Savor Flamenco\, was awarded the Grammy for Best World Music Album in 2013.\nThis iconic legacy began when Nicolas’ father\, Jose Reyes\, formed a celebrated flamenco duo with Manitas de Plata (which boasted fans as famed as Miles Davis and Pablo Picasso). When the pair parted ways\, the elder Reyes became even more popular upon starting his own band\, backed by his son\, called Los Reyes. In later years\, Nicolas headed out on his own and began playing in the town of Arles in the south of France. He traveled throughout the country\, busking on the streets of Saint-Tropez\, playing wherever he could. Having adopted the perpetual motion of the gypsy lifestyle\, his band eventually translated “Los Reyes” and became the Gipsy Kings.\nThe band’s music went on to fuse with popular culture. In addition to the accolades above\, the traveling Gipsy Kings have played some of the world’s greatest stages\, from the Hollywood Bowl to Royal Albert Hall as well as hitting the big screen. Their rendition of “Hotel California” was included in the film The Big Lebowski and the HBO series Entourage. The 2010 film Toy Story 3 featured a Gipsy Kings version of the movie’s popular\, Randy Newman-penned theme\, “You’ve Got a Friend in Me”. The Gipsy Kings recently featured in a Big Lebowski spinoff The Jesus Rolls with Reyes appearing in person with the director and star\, John Turturro\, for some of the promotion.\nAs active as this remarkable collective remains\, they are also confident in the future of their legacy. “Even though it’s been 30 years\, we want to keep on making new music because it’s our life. It’s who we are\,” says Nicolas Reyes. “But I think there will be a time when we pass down the Gipsy Kings to our sons”.\n30 years is an eternity in pop music but the story of the Gipsy Kings featuring Nicolas Reyes has the depth to endure. Theirs is a music that extends through generations\, to the sounds of their ancestors—Spanish Romani people who fled the Catalonia region during the Spanish Civil War—and reflects the vibrantly eclectic and peripatetic history of the gitanos.
