Kora - Kora Kora Kora - The Cabaret Voltaire Versions

•    An incredible re-working of key tracks from the debut album by Kora, Shiva's awesome, Platinum-selling, chart topping Kiwis... it's like Bob Marley & The Wailers meets... well, Cabaret Voltaire

•    Initially composed of Stephen Mallinder, Richard H. Kirk and Chris Watson, the group was named after the Cabaret Voltaire, a nightclub in Zurich, Switzerland that was a centre for the early Dada movement

•    Their earliest performances were dada-influenced performance art, but Cabaret Voltaire later developed into one of the most prolific and important groups to blend pop with dance music, techno, dub house and experimental electronic music

•    Talked about as the most explosive new talent in New Zealand for the last couple of years on the back of a truckload of awesome live gigs, Kora's self-titled debut album stormed to the top of the NZ album charts in its first week of release, knocking none less than Foo Fighters off the top spot

PRESS:
•    “The Sheffield electronic pioneers return via an unexpected route, re-editing seven tracks by Maori dub outfit Kora, a platinum-selling concern in their native New Zealand. The ominous, rolling synths of Skankenstein are superb” - The Big Issue

•    “New Zealand dub rockers get a Steel City makeover.  It has all the signs of Kirk dusting down the old chassis.  Backing tracks are all but obliterated, replaced by cold horns and digital dub, while Kora's soulful vocals are looped out into ghostly, blanched echoes....More chilly than chilled” - UNCUT

•    “Rules are made to be broken. Dance away children, dance” - NME

•    “Brilliantly listenable. It brings to mind the Mad Professor's 1995 dub reworking of Massive Attack; party soundtracks don't get more surreal than this” - METRO
