Crammed Discs

Crammed Discs is an independent record label established by Marc Hollander in 1981. With a rich history spanning over four decades, the label has consistently pushed boundaries and championed innovative music from around the world.

Known for its diverse roster of *artists* and *performers*, Crammed Discs has become synonymous with groundbreaking releases that defy genre categorization. From experimental pop to avant-garde jazz, electronic music to world fusion, the label's catalogue is a testament to its commitment to artistic excellence.

As one of the most respected independent labels in the industry, Crammed Discs continues to discover and nurture talent, providing a platform for emerging artists as well as established musicians. With an unwavering dedication to quality and authenticity, their releases are meticulously curated and beautifully packaged.

Ikoqwe (pronounced ee-kok-weh) is a new project by Batida (aka Pedro Coquenão, the Angola-born, Lisbon-raised artist who ranks among the leading exponents of the new wave of African electronic music), and Luaty Beirão, aka Ikonoklasta, the Angolan rapper turned iconic activist.

Ikoqwe's inspiration comes from old school Hip Hop as much as from traditional Angolan music. The Beginning, the Medium, the End and the Infinite includes drum machines, vocals in Angolan slang, Umbundu, Portuguese and English, discussions about neocolonialism, inequalities and falsified history, radio sounds, utopian solutions and much more.
