Konata Small proudly presents his new single ‘With A Bang’ featuring Disciple Theory. Gliding across genre infusions of hip-hop, gospel, and cinematic soundscapes, the latest offering is a vibrant release showcasing both respected artists’ finest talents.

‘With A Bang’ is a well-produced song that complements Konata Small and Disciple Theory’s compelling performance in terms of sound. The lyrics’ vivid story is nicely complemented by the lively soundtrack created by the infectious rhythms. The song exhibits his knowledge of a range of auditory genres by deftly blending melodic rap components with hip-hop elements.

On the single, Konata Small says, ””With A Bang” is a song that speaks on the beginning of things. One of the pivotal moments in my life happened in Brooklyn, New York. This was when I was a bystander to a shootout as a preteen. The event was the catalyst for change that eventually moved me to South Florida which is where I met God, and where I was introduced to the talent that I yield now in Hip-Hop as an artist/songwriter/rapper. So for me, it all started with a bang. This is my story.”

Host Bodies’ track ‘On A Roll’ Gets a Psychedelic Reinvention from Soul Glitch

Ten years after Host Bodies first released the album Daily Apparatus, “On A Roll” has found a completely new groove.

For the Daily Apparatus: 10 Year Remixes project, multi-instrumentalist and producer Nicholas Hasty, under his Soul Glitch moniker, takes the original electronic-rock track and pulls it into deeper, more psychedelic territory.

The remix keeps the energy of Host Bodies intact while opening up the track with new beats, electronic textures and expressive saxophone solos. Electric guitar, bass and layered production give it a rich, genre-blurring sound that sits somewhere between indie electronic, jazztronica, soultronica and alternative dance.

There’s something particularly satisfying about hearing a decade-old track treated not as a relic, but as raw material. Soul Glitch reshapes “On A Roll” , finding new spaces within the original and bringing his own musical language into the mix.

The result is energetic, sensual, psychedelic and unapologetically expansive.

Ten years on, “On A Roll” proves that sometimes the best way to celebrate where a song came from is to find somewhere completely new for it to go.
