2014 – July 6th : Circus beards, outdoor beats, Unlog sounds and scratch.
Noyl and Famelik from Unlog are proud to take over the second stage of the Montreal based outdoor festival Piknic Electronik. The first stage will welcome Heidi, Ponsolo, Jesse Voltaire, and Jimmy Edgar.
Note that if your genetics allowed you to have a beard longer than 3 inches, you’ll get a free entrance thanks to Montréal Completement Cirque.
Let’s play that 47mn eclectic selection by Famelik with some amazing HD visuals from Push 1 Stop.
This artistic collaboration between Famelik (myself) and Push 1 Stop, one of the most talented VJs in the Montreal scene, turned a 47mn rich and eclectic music mix into this abstract and haunting movie. A new series starts.
2 hours of contemporary music from North African and Middle Eastern artists , but also from international artists strongly influenced by the arab culture.
Expect old folkloric melodies, wise MCs using unknown languages, solid beats and strong bass lines!
Just for this year, the Montreal based producer/beatmaker and Dj is working on 3 different projects, including his debut album that he relates himself as an « Off the Planet » journey.
In December 2012, he put online a free album, « Colored Dust (lite) », under the name of the fictive band, Atsie Sun Orchestra.
This project was a huge success and was downloaded more than 5000 times (Japan with 2000 downloads)!!!
He also composed the entire soundtrack of the virtual experience of the movie/documentary « Les Etats-Unis d’Afrique- United States of Africa » by Yanick Letourneau.
Engone describes his music as an experience, a fusion of cultures and traditions, a mix of genres that can’t be really defined without listening.
He also cites Sun Ra, Alice Coltrane, Fela Kuti and traditional teachings from all across Africa as inspirations.
He started his career under the mentorship of mythic Siya Po’ssi X in 2000 (pioneer of gabonese Hip-Hop) and since then he collaborated with numerous artists such as Elom 20ce (Togo), Waahli Yussef (Canada), Safari Black (USA)…
With Dj Sugarface Nene (Beat the World, Canicule Tropicale), they formed the duet Dj combo, Kelly+Engone, performing live the Essence of Traditional Music (Latin, African, Asian, etc…) with samplers, rare vynils and percussions.
This podcast is another journey in the colored universe of Engone Endong.
From japanese mangas (Saint Seiya, Bleach) to the Bwiti and Mvet music (Gabon), It opens another window and give an interesting perspective of things to come.
