A kaleidoscopic adventure of broken beats laden with gypsy jazz, Eastern folk, dub and hip hop roots!
Fast-rising Australian label Elefant Traks proudly drops the debut album from The Herd producer Unkle Ho!
From a smoke-filled coffee house somewhere years from here comes the debut solo album from The Herd producer Unkle Ho. 'Roads To Roma' is a genuinely enchanting album of broken beats, drawing upon Unkle Ho's unique approach to sampling.
Eastern European gypsy wails mingle with Arabic harmonies whilst dancehall and hip hop rhythms jostle with folk, dub and indie backdrops to create the unique spirit of 'Roads To Roma'. Like any true herdsman, Unkle Ho carefully shepherds his musical species without succumbing to the recklessness of mashed up genre leftovers.
At the heart of Unkle Ho is the imagination of a Chinese Australian named Kaho Cheung, proudly raised in Sydney's western suburbs. A founding member of label Elefant Traks and fulltime member of The Herd, Unkle Ho's hook ups ensure quality guests on 'Roads To Roma', including fellow The Herd member Urthboy, recent Quannum signings Apsci and Senator Jim [Fathom].
