Eccodek - Recalibrate '2022

Tracks list

       Canadian global fusionists Eccodek are back celebrating their 20th
anniversary, with an explosive 9-song album capturing their fiery blend of dub,
funk, jazz, electronic and tribalism. ‘Recalibrate’ is their 5th
studio album and is released in partnership with flagship US label Six Degrees
Records. 

Andrew is again supported by the band that has consistently dazzled audiences
for 20 years: Adam Bowman (drums), Jason Shute (congas), Marc De Vos (bass),
Brent Rowan (saxophone/ woodwinds), Les Hartai (beats/samples) with Andrew on
keyboards, flute, guitar, engineering and production from his Monastereo
recording studio. Tapping into his ever expanding roster of international
singers and collaborators, he welcomed back Eccodek veterans Kiran Ahluwalia and
Onkar Singh, alongside new inductees Mahsa Vahdat, John Orpheus, Brenna
MacCrimmon, Charleston Okafor and Oranmiyan Ajagundade. Combined, they form a
musical lineage that stretches from India, Nigeria and Persia to Trinidad and
the Balkans, seamlessly blending with Andrew’s heady mix of live
percussion, bottom heavy bass, soaring saxophones, textural synths and
dubbed-out sonics.

In a historic time of global ‘recalibration’, Eccodek’s 5th
album reflects what an award winning, live festival favourite must do to honour
its 20 year history, while recommitting to its passion for cultural diversity
and borderless, artistic expression. As CBC wrote, ‘Eccodek’s music
shifts dreamily between music with roots in Mali, Turkey, Fiji, Nigeria, India,
Canada and beyond.’

Eccodek’s 2 Juno nominations, 2 Canadian Music Awards, countless festival
appearances and 2009 Juno Awards show-closing performance (w/Great Big Sea and
Hawksley Workman), continue to push the world class project further afield.
Andrew’s steady production work attracts an ever expanding community of
world class artists that include Vieux Farka Touré, Jane Siberry, Dub
Colossus, Desert Dwellers, EarthRise SoundSystem, Syriana, Delhi2Dublin,
Transglobal Underground, Dubmatix, Stephen Fearing, Deva Premal and more, with
releases on Six Degrees Records, Real World, White Swan/Black Swan, EMI, The
Ambient Zone and National Geographic.
