Northern Migration by Kush Arora, Squareffekt, Bison

Lisbon's Bison and Squareffekt team up with San Francisco's Kush Arora in this tarraxo mutant.

After having a internet admiration for each other's music, and a desire to learn from each other on their traditions, the three of these folks across the world started to trade sketches in 2015 which lead to this song, the first of many that will be emerging. With support from Branko from Buraka Som Sistema, Gato Preto, and many others, we hope to share this sound with you.

Bison & Squareffekt are a Portuguese production duo on the rise, who have a unique, futuristic and melancholic take on the sensual cadence of Angolan kizomba and tarraxo. As the zouk bass sound spreads across the globe and producers push these sweaty 90BPM into new and unfamiliar territories, the duo takes an organic approach to the genre as they reimagine the tarraxo sound from within. Putting a modern electronic twist into the slow sexy beats that make the ghettos dance provocatively from Lisbon to Luanda, Bison & Squareffekt are definitely here to stay.
Kush Arora has been producing a variety of indo carribean, kuduro, industrial, and ambient sounds in San Francisco for over 18 years. He lends his sound design, beat structures, and evolving landscapes to the tarraxo formula, propelling it further and further into space.

For over 23 years. Dub, dancehall, niche african dance , industrial, and Indo-Caribbean influences merge into Kush's melting pot of madness.
