This UK collective's objective lays some way beyond what ordinary listeners know or expect. In an alternative galaxy, where the orbits of Hip-Hop, Funk, Jazz, Psychedelic, Electronic, Avante-Garde and Ethnic music all revolve around “The One” – that's where you might find The Heliocentrics. A listen to a song or two reveals no small influence from the funk universe of James Brown. But there's also the disorienting asymmetry of Sun Ra's music. The cinematic scope of Ennio Morricone. The sublime fusion of David Axelrod.The Heliocentrics are led by Malcolm Catto, one of the UK’s finest drummers and a former Mo’wax recording artist (check the way-ahead-of-its-time ‘Popcorn Bubble Fish’ album). This album was preceded by a 12” featuring Guilty Simpson, serviced to radio & tastemakers. Plays from Zane Lowe, DJ MK (Kiss 100), Benji B, Mistajam, Sarah Love & Blakey (1Xtra), Mic Check (BBC Asian Network), Simpson (Juice) and more.
