Katzuma – From Inner Space

Our latest guest mix comes from one of the pioneers of the Italian hip hop scene who has now transformed himself into a renowned producer of funk and disco under the name Katzuma. In recent years he’s made a name for himself in and outside of Italy for his deep productions taking its cue from classic funk and disco from the 70s and 80s and putting his own cosmic spin on it.

‘From Inner Space’ is a promo mix by Katzuma ahead of his involvement in the latest Original Cultures project, of the same name, which will see him direct a five piece band put together for the occasion and nicknamed the The Expanding Disco Machine. Over four days they’ll be locked in workshops putting together a one hour show inspired by the evolution of black music in America from the funk of the 70s to the early electronic experiment of the 80s. Alongside them will be Opificio Ciclope, a collective of video artists, who will design and produce visuals for the show. You can read more about the project and event here. Check out a trailer for the show below:

For more on Katzuma, check his bio here, and look out for his latest EP ‘Dr Know’ which is out now and features predominantly in this mix. The mix itself is a 25 minutes ride into Katzuma’s musical universe on a deep, cosmic tip.

Enjoy and if you like what you hear check out another promo mix for the event I put together called Beats and Boogie.
