Numaads sounds different, looks different and thinks different. Esperanzah is like a siren calling the listeners to her as she floats on the ocean of sound, created by her long time friend and musical partner SENSE (of The Q4 and Shahmen ) . Her smooth earthy rap voice and angelic singing are carried beautifully by the strong drums and atmospheric vibes, and speaks to us of realignment with nature, with our roots and with ourselves. SENSE skilfully combines original use of sampling, interweaved with organic instrumentation, to sculpt a sound that carries an almost mystical atmosphere. He is a craftsman who has been perfecting his art for many years and is now coming forth in to the light.
The record features four original songs and two remixes of the title song Now, by renowned producers Robot Koch and J Rawls . “Tricks and schemes will all be gone,talked about the coming for so long. I am sure that evil’s time is done. Do you know where I’m coming from?”

Now, Joe is back to bring you his first full length album entitled ‘Mind Joe’ . It’s a diverse soul, jazz and oldskool infused ride, laced with witty and gritty vocals and wrapped in a sick cover design sporting Joe’s own illustrations. Besides getting Portformat, Arts The Beatdoctor of The Q4 and of course Killing Skills on board, Joe again composed the majority of the beats himself proving himself as versatile as some kind of walking computer car that has yet to be invented.
This 17 track album brings your beloved hiphop back to life with it’s raw but musically underpinned sound and lets you dive in Joe’s mind as well as making you mind Joe for a long time to come.
‘Mind Joe’ by Joe Kickass will be released on the 4th of June on Project: Mooncircle and will be available on LP, CD and digital. For more info check www.projectmooncircle.com and www.joekickass.nl.
Watch out for Joe's show with Lewis Parker & John Robinson at Splash & Hip Hop Kemp Festival 2010!
Just a little promo clip for a club in Rotterdam but she's in the studio for the upcoming Esperanzah & Sense alias Numaads "NOW" EP, 12 Inch (produced by Sense of The Q4 and with remix versions by Arts The Beatdoctor, Robot Koch and more..)!
TheQ4’s name refers to the quadraphonic sound systems that where used in the seventies, as one of the earlier forms of surround sound installations. Hence the title: Sound Surroundings for their critically acclaimed debut that was released on the 22nd of January 2010 through Project: Mooncircle. Aside from instrumental songs the album also features a number of guest vocalists, ranging from rappers to flamenco and blues singers.
Their upcoming release Darker Days however will be fully instrumental and features four original new tracks and two remixes. The 12 Inch comes with a promotional cassette (yes, a cassette!) on which another new TheQ4 song can be found, as well as an introduction to Shahmen, one of Sense’s solo projects which will be released in April/September through Project: Mooncircle.
