SKIP&DIE are pleased to present their new single "Space Girls"
SKIP&DIE are pleased to present their new single "Space Girls", and the breathtaking music video which illustrates this vibrant track off their brand-new album "Cosmic Serpents".
The video, directed by SKIP&DIE's own Cata.Pirata and DutchToast, superbly depicts the song's alternative universe. In Cata.Pirata's own words...
"Fuck Gravity! Blow it Up! In this grave world of greed, injustice and trouble, we've got to learn to love ourselves and each other. We are strong, beautifully diverse, layered beings - each and every one of us - yes, that means YOU too! And we hold visions of utopias in our hands. From birth, to death, to rebirth, we sow our seeds of hope & revolution. Together, we will overcome trauma and division. We don't care what "type" of women we are, we're planets, we're SPACE GIRLS!”

Axel Krygier is back with "Hombre De Piedra", a new album and music video!
The brilliant musician/composer/singer from Buenos Aires tells us the fantastic and hilarious story of a bigfoot from the Stone Age, who travels through the history of mankind, from its early days to the 2.0 era. A delirious road movie about the paradoxes of civilization.
Watch the first music video for the title track "Hombre De Piedra". Shot in his backyard with the help of director Mariano Mucci and visual artist Ian Kornfeld, the video is a combination of HD formats, Super 8 and animation revolving around a map of the sky drawn up by the first painters of mankind.
Taraf de Haidouks celebrate 25th anniversary with new album and tour!

Let's all join the party!

SKIP&DIE return with much awaited 2nd album, "Cosmic Serpents"
... and an extensive world tour 2015After setting stages on fire around the planet during their successful two-year Riots In The Jungle tour, pan-tropical future bass band SKIP&DIE are back with an exhilarating new album, entitled “COSMIC SERPENTS” - luring their audiences into a landscape somewhere between paradise, the apocalypse and beyond.
With its re-imagining of global music, irresistible rhythms and beats, acoustic instruments, field recordings and spacey synths, SKIP&DIE’s upcoming album, “COSMIC SERPENTS”, reveals a poetic sonic collage that toys with ideas of transient life, looming death, and the notion that our collective DNA coils throughout eternity like a cosmic serpent.
Set for release March 2015, the new album was written and recorded in Brazil, Egypt, Argentina, Colombia, La Reunion island, South Africa, Portugal and the Netherlands. It incorporates a rich variety of musical styles (from digital cumbia, creole maloya, brazilian rasterinha and electro chaabi - to dub, footwork and psychedelic rock) which have been inventively merged into an intimately layered SKIP&DIE universe.
SKIP&DIE consist of South African songwriter, vocalist and visual artist Catarina Aimée Dahms aka Cata.Pirata, producer Jori Collignon on keys and FX, Gino Bombrini on percussion & guitar and Daniel Rose on guitar and other string instruments. They are joined on "COSMIC SERPENTS" by a handful of exciting guests from around the globe.
The first single and video is the title track, “Cosmic Serpents”, scheduled for release this December.
