FUJAKO (BE/PT) Hip Hop / Experimental
Fujako
We monitor many frequencies. We listen always. Came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. It played us a mighty dub.” – Neuromancer   The international duo of Fujako returns to Angstrom Records with Soul Buzz, a short but intense six-track salvo of earth shaking, gritty electronic music featuring DC’s Black Saturn.  Uniting over a love of echo, bass and space, Jonathan Uliel Saldanha, from Portugal, and Nicolas Esterle, from Belgium via France, came together to form Fujako with a desire to make music of “unlooped hip hop and telluric dub from the geological strata.” Exiling themselves to a remote mountainous area of central Portu- gal, Fujako re-emerged in 2009 with a debut album that crystallised their intent with a righteous sound and fury. Soul Buzz, recorded between Porto and Brussels, continues their lifelong dedication to sonic alchemy with thundering bass, cavernous spaces and beat up rhythms combining to speak a mighty dub into the liste- ner’s bones
