Psych-Rock, Rock

Causa Sui consists of Jakob Skøtt, Jonas Munk, Rasmus Rasmussen and Jess Kahr, and have released eight albums since 2005. The trilogy set Summer Sessions that saw the band move away from the heavy-psych of their two first albums to more abstract, instrumental sounds that owes as much to Can as to american stoner-rock. Causa Sui’s sound has been described as the sound of a giant wave rolling up through the last four decades of rock. The bands new album, Return to Sky, was released March 18th 2016. -El Paraiso Records

 

 

Folk/Singer Songwriter, Rock

Sixto Diaz Rodriguez,  (born July 10, 1942), is a US-born Mexican musician from Detroit. His career initially proved short lived, but unknown to Rodriguez his albums became extremely successful and influential in South Africa. According to the film-makers of the documentary about him, sales of his records outnumbered those of Elvis in South Africa. He was rumoured there to have committed suicide. In the 1990s, determined South African fans managed to find and contact Rodriguez, which led to an unexpected revival of his musical career. This is told in the 2012 Academy Award–winning documentary film Searching for Sugar Man, which helped give Rodriguez a measure of fame in his home country. On May 9, 2013, Rodriguez received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from his alma mater,Wayne State University (WSU), in Detroit. Rodriguez lives in Detroit’s historic Woodbridge neighborhood, through which he is seen walking in Searching for Sugar Man.

Shawn Lee (b 1963) is an American musician, producer, video game composer and multi-instrumentalist, who now lives in London, England. As Shawn Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra, Lee has released 10 albums on US label Ubiquity Records. The different styles and genres his music takes you through is quite incredible. From psychedelic rock, to funk, fuzzed out tabla beats and hip hop, he’s a guy who cant sit still with one thing for too long. Heres a playlist of some of my favourite tracks.
