Children Of Zu Zu EP by Charles Petersohn

"Children Of Zu Zu" is Charles Petersohn‘s restart after his previous label release 18 years ago, as well as some experiments on Bandcamp and SoundCloud. On this EP, different sounds merge into each other, creating an organic flow inspired by Dr. John and, most of all, the space music and Afrofuturist philosophy of Sun Ra and his Arkestra. The soundscapes and atmosphere in the background of each song give the music a deeper feel.

It took its time to get the music ready.

There was a desire to have Web Web pianist Roberto Di Gioia in the music, which took months. But it was worth waiting. Roberto planted some magic moments into it. On the other hand, Charles is hyper-critical with his own sound. If jumping back into the arena, it should be something special. When he is okay with every inch of his sonic work, then it's done! "Children Of Zu Zu" became a collage of thick, warm, smooth house music, spacy ambient jazz, and two dancefloor tools with a deep Afro and Brasil feel. Here we go with six tracks full of love, full of dreams, and full of space.
