Upon opening this album, the name alone draws your attention. “The World Beyond”. “Unlocking the Portal” opens you to this vast place of angelic sonic ore, building slowly but powerfully with scarce sounds and vocals. The second track, “The Crystal Palace”, instantly immerses you in the world of Akara with playful strings and wind instruments as the lead over deeper cello. A faint-but-steady drum beat gives the feeling of entering a place anew, taking your time to soak it all in but too overwhelmed to dally. The electronic production element of this album then becomes very clear on the next track, “Adoration of the Light” which instantly begins with distorted drums and synths. A darker track, Weidema’s vocals give this song an almost tribal atmosphere to it.
“Resonance” opens with subtle harp notes over horns, having a “dark” feeling as well but more-so of a dark that has past- it would be a perfect soundtrack for after some sort disaster has happened. Perhaps this is the feel Akara is going for with the transition. A dance-able drum beat then enters, followed by deep synth behind entrancing mandolin strings. The middle of the album is aptly named “Evensong”, which happens to be my favorite. It’s purely strings and Weidema’s celestial voice, with just the perfect amount of production to turn this song into an uplifting, melodic epic that begs contemplation. It transitions perfectly into “Sky Dancer”, a dance-able track, layered with beautiful strings, vocals, deep synth and a faint but solid drum beat accentuated with clapping. “Remembering the Stars Into Being” begins with a beautiful use of the harpsichord, creating a short but bridging gap between the bulk of the album and the last tracks.
Created by a conservatory-trained classical composer turned electronica producer, Akara’s mystical dancefloor symphonies are songs of the luminous extradimensional beings, sung across the veil of reality.

Some music cannot be found on a map or within iTunes categories. Some music is so original it seems snatched from the great, invisible substrata that runs below all human activity, a sound aching to be born without a flag or fixed allegiance – free, questing, overflowing with immediate, tangible life. This is the music of Toubab Krewe, the vibrant Asheville, NC-based instrumental powerhouse that creates a sonic Pangaea that lustily swirls together rock, African traditions, jam sensibilities, international folk strains and more. While nearly impossible to put into any box, it takes only a few moments to realize in a very palpable way that one is face-to-face with a true original who recognizes no borders in a march towards a muscular, original, globally switched-on sound. Formed in 2005, Toubab Krewe has tenaciously honed their craft through relentless touring and a fierce dedication to carving out something they can truly call their own. The fruits of this hard work can be heard on their scintillating new long-player, TK2, being released September 7, 2010 on Nat Geo Music. What Justin Perkins (Kora, Kamelngoni, guitar, percussion), Teal Brown (drums, congas), Drew Heller (guitar, piano, fiddle), David Pransky (bass, guitar), and Luke Quaranta (Djembe, percussion) have wrought on TK2 reflects the many miles and musical journeys that have transpired since their studio debut.

Funkerpump is about cultivating our own voice and learning how to express through that voice. It’s about moving forward into unfamiliar territories, experiencing that which has yet to be experienced. It’s about recognizing an absence in our world, and filling that void through creation. We owe it to ourselves and to each other to use the independent mind we each possess, to follow our own path, to seek our own truth. Unborn sounds, sights, feelings, experiences, are not absent from our world because the Universe wishes them to be so, but because it’s waiting for you to bring them into being…
…but then again, it’s up to you to decide that for yourself.
Soulacybin is the product of an insatiable appetite for music and the need to create and share it with the World. Jamaican Dub aesthetics and electronic soundscapes meld into heart-felt music crafted with care and love. Live guitar and melodic synths combined with mid-tempo beats and throbbing basslines transport listeners to a place of pure emotive sound, stimulating the Body, Mind, and Heart.
