Led by the relentless drummer Malcolm Catto, the UK collective's objective lays quite a ways beyond what ordinary listeners know or expect. In an alternative galaxy, where the orbits of Hip-Hop, Funk, Jazz, Psychedelic, Electronic, Avante-Garde and Ethnic music all revolve around “The One” – that's where you might find The Heliocentrics. A listen to a song or two reveals no small influence from the funk universe of James Brown. But there's also the disorienting asymmetry of Sun Ra's music. The cinematic scope of Ennio Morricone.

Mo Kolours is a half Mauritian, half English, half percussionist half beatmaker who’s dropped his first EP Drum Talking in May 2011. It’s as much of a mix of influences as the man himself.

It’s a potent mix that ranges from the psychdelic dub of “Bakiraq” to the dubstep flavours of “8 Hours” but always keeps sega firmly at its heart.
