One Handed Music // Mo Kolours // New Album Posted: 01 Feb 2014 07:48 AM PST Mo Kolours’ new self titled EP is set for a March 24th release from the guys over at One Handed Music. And from what we have heard from the album it is most certainly a must! Check it out. Available for pre order from Bandcamp! ‘Mo Kolours is a half-Mauritian, half-English producer, singer and percussionist. On his self-titled debut album he displays dazzling inventiveness and joyous spirit – unsurprising for someone raised on the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Lee Perry and A Tribe Called Quest while remaining ever curious about his Indian Ocean roots.’ ‘The album Mo Kolours follows a trilogy of EPs for One-Handed Music that mixed soul, dub, hip-hop, various electronic styles and the Sega music native to Mauritius. Recognising Mo's singular voice Gilles Peterson invited him to Maida Vale Studios to record a live session for the BBC before his first EP had even hit the shelves. Now Mo counts the likes of Hot Chip's Joe Goddard and Friendly Fires' Jack Savidge among his fans.’ Facebook One Handed Music

• Beyoncé's new album: the Observer review

Kraftwerk's Ralf Hütter: 'Now we can concentrate on album number nine'

When Kraftwerk first toured Australia, they arrived trailing tonnes of equipment. Most bands need to bring a few instruments, but the German electronic pioneers found themselves dismantling their studio, packing it into shipping crates and reassembling it for each show.
Thirty years later, they pretty much just turn up with their laptops.
“Nowadays basically Kraftwerk is a space lab: we can land anywhere as long as we have the projectors and the screens.” Ralf Hütter, Kraftwerk’s co-founder and sole remaining original member, is welcoming me into his dressing room at the Sydney Opera House on the eve of the band’s final two performances of their eight show series based around 2009’s box set, The Catalogue.
It would be easy to assume that the man behind such cold, precise music would be standoffish in person, yet Hütter is a genial host. His eyes sparkle as he speaks, even as he pauses to find the exact right English word to explain his artistic philosophies. He also looks a good decade and a half younger than his 66 years – a testament to his band’s long-time advocacy of cycling, which inspired the 2003 Tour de France Soundtracks.
Tour de France is the most recent album featured in both box set and show, which cover the bands eight album output. Performing in just a handful of other cities – New York, London, their hometown of Dusseldorf – each album, from 1974's Autobahn onwards, has been presented from start to finish and accompanied by with eye-popping 3D projections and surround sound. The response has been rapturous.
