(album)           

Genre please! A few-illion moments of worldwide swirling.

Expect Highlife on Tresillo rhythm, Anatolian disco dub, pro-Arab trance, raw folk fragments & vintage quotation, tango bent by wartime novelty, or confessions from the voodoo backyard. Styles collide and never settle. Spiced throughout with Kundan´s many-many field recordings, manipulated to suddenly act as a choir, MC or storyteller.

Postcards from unknown places. 18 tunes in 30 minutes of humor, class-sensitive sonic expression, spiritual punk and cosmic cure-work. Hop-a-like downbeats, wide-range psychedelia, genre-fluent, border-skipping, always shifting. Built for contrast, not consistency. Listen & act!

(7" single)            

Four tracks of class-sensitive sonic expression, spiritual punk, and cosmic cure-work taken from Kundan’s multilayered album „A vantage granted but to few“. Field recordings and samples cluster around all kinds of instrumentation. Styles collide and never settle. Information hunts — and sometimes hurts.
Expect Highlife on a Tresillo groove with an eco twist (TERRAR), a creepy tango warped by wartime novelty (VIVAN), Anatolian disco dub featuring Robert Beckmann on violin (NAHIN), and confessions from the voodoo backyard by deprived residents of Rostock ‘ganz unten’ (ES GIBT NICHTS).

Team up: chöko aba & M.RUX

Inspired by Marvin Pontiac’s original "Small Car", this collaboration takes a playful twist on the classic. A faulty AI version of Morgan Freeman narrates a whimsical tale of small farmers exploring the world in their tin-can cars to not only find kindness. Available as a free download.
