Music:Member Since: 1/30/2006Band Website: harrikakoulli.webs.com Band Members: Harri Kakoulli: Also known as: Uzma, Dirty Harri & Voodoo Posse Reviews: INSIDE OUT "This guy has been everywhere, with everyone, from Africa to Ministry of Sound! He started the Ethnic World Dance scene some fifteen years ago, a touch ahead of schedule. Pioneer or what?" Tony Dynamou CYPRUS MAIL "A handful of people have come along in my musical life and moved me directly, Harri's a genius, put simply, and a vastly underrated one at that" Haji Mike "Mmmm what can I say, I can only guess at the amount of hard-work, devotion and love that goes into this creation. I listen to the album and I feel like I am living a journey with you, travelling through cultures, languages and divides, it makes me feel calm and confident and I lust after the spiritual instinctive, global edge that it leaves me with when I listen to it. I'd compare it to an orchestral movement, at the moment I feel like it is one beautifully crafted part or the movement. Love the layering of it; love the build up, the beauty and elegance of the tracks." MIDWEST RECORDS This boy is well travelled; from playing bass with Squeeze to working with King Sunny Ade and Natasha Atlas, he has some resume. This world fusion outing finds him paying musical tribute to his departed father and it’s quite a crackling, passionate date indeed. A very touching and affecting work, this is sure to ping a reaction from anyone who has felt something deeply and needs a focus to release those feelings. CHRIS SPECTOR, Editor and Publisher ©2007 Midwest Record As the bassist for the 80s band Squeeze Harri Kakoulli has been around the block more than a few times. He's worked with world music artists like King Sunny Ade and trip hopper Talvin Singh so it's not beyond his reach to do a bhangra infused electronica album. This EP was a tribute to the memory Kakoulli's father and features a couple introspective tracks with sacred chanting in addition to the more energetic bhangra club tunes (favourites were "Love Exotico" and "Kuzima"). This EP is another definite winner and well worth the $3.95 Tomdog Waveform Transmissions vol 1 (Compilation) Harri Kakoulli * Bliss Like Gold – World Music at it's very best with a bit of a house beat that never hurts. The song Kuzima, brings the sounds of a transcending journey over far away lands and throws it into your chest with a four on the floor . Zero One - Ozone - Bliss Indeed: WOW!! The title track is an amazing mix of arabic electronica and gregorn chants, very unique and haunting. This EP is a small treasure of global chill and global dance. Soundtracker. """"" All Music Guide. Listen to this EP, and you would never guess that Harri Kakoulli got his start as the bass player for Squeeze. Instead, you might guess that he was a roadie for African Head Charge on their Finnish tour, or that he'd spent his early years sitting in with the Bombay Dub Orchestra. Bliss Like Gold is a rich and emotionally complex listening experience, in part because the music emerged from Kakoulli's anguish following the death of his father. But also because it brings together a broad spectrum of musical traditions -- sacred choral music, keening solo plain chants, Middle Eastern percussion, African rhythms, house, electronica -- and blends them into something that sounds both ancient and completely new. The title track takes relentless (but not overaggressive) percussion of the type one might hear on a Muslimgauze album, and pairs it with the kind of modal vocals one might hear from Dead Can Dance. "Evil Touch" fuses polyphonic choral singing with quiet Eastern percussion to absolutely gorgeous effect; "Kuzima" brings a house beat into the mix, then suddenly switches to a one-drop reggae groove. Throughout the program, there's something just slightly creepy tugging at the underside of this beautiful music, and the effect is really quite stunning. Very highly recommended. ~ Rick Anderson, All Music Guide. Harri Kakoulli: The sound he creates has made him one of the world's leading and sought after producers of world music, and as an artist in his own right collaborating with many other artists to create music that one cannot help but be swept up by.. Wild Planet Radio. PopMaters: Harri Kakoulli Bliss Like Gold (Six Degrees) Harri Kakoulli has brought back something from the darkness for the benefit and joy of all. As the original bassist for Squeeze, it’s humbling to see Harri honor his dad’s memory with an EP of world influenced dub downtempo and electronica that surprisingly hits par with the majority of the stellar Six Degrees catalogue. His inspiration is tangible throughout this five track online exclusive EP. and it’s nice when they strike a chord a little deeper than kittens and blunts. by Filmore Mescalito Holmes PopMaters Though Six Degrees Records recently released his EP "Bliss Like Gold" as part of its "Emerging Artists" series, Harri Kakoulli has been around a long time. He was the former bass man for UK mod band Squeeze, and for the last 15 years been a largely unnoticed but significant contributor to the world fusion scene in the UK. He has worked as a producer for Nation Records, Bar De Lune, Park Lane Recordings and many other world fusion artists and labels.
