Music Donor

Laminar-Wavy Records presents Nini Maluks' Music Donor. This is Nini Maluks' second release for Laminar-Wavy Records. It has a mixture of jazz, blues, broken beat, lounge music and soulful elements.

1. Come Starlight feat. Sonja (Original, Reprise Soulful and Atomized Vocal Mixes)
This is a second collaboration with Sonja. This song is about each day presenting itself as a chance to start afresh. With each new day comes another opportunity to start over, forgetting the past and realising God's mercies are new every morning, His faithfulness never-ending.

Composed by Nini Maluks and Sonja
Lyrics and vocals written and performed by Sonja
All instruments by Nini Maluks

2. Colour of a Mirror feat. JazzMeloz (Original Jazzy Mix)
This is the second EP on which Nini Maluks has worked with the quintet house band, JazzMeloz, following the successful release of the “Nini-JazzMeloz Remix” of Won’t Forget You feat. Sonja. Colour of a Mirror is a blend of tasteful jazz and soul, beginning with Banele Ndaba on soothing saxophone and transitioning to an outro with Xolani Skosana on soft blues guitar.

4. Organ Donor feat. Con-Keyz (Original, Organ-Ized and Centric-Soul Mixes)
The naturally rich, rounded tone of the organ sound appeals to many who are able to connect this ancient instrument to modern music and sound. Organ Donor features a collection of sounds inspired by HAMMOND B-4 Organ, featuring Con-Keyz, one of the 'avant-garde' (for sake of a better term) for church organs and keyboards in general.

Composed by Nini Maluks and Con-Keyz
Hammond B4 Organ by Con-Keyz
Additional organ by Nini Maluks
Bass, drums, percussions, synth programming by Nini Maluks

5. Testing...1...2...feat. The Rudimentals (Nini HDS ReMix)
Nini Maluks went all out to fuse with South Africa’s pioneers in the Afro-Ska music landscape, The Rudimentals, who have been in existence since 2000. The band toured with UB40 in South Africa in July 2007 and have also performed alongside greats such as Randy Crawford, Johnny Clegg, Freshlyground and Ladysmith Black Mambazo, to mention a few. Testing...1...2... delivers a highly active remix with some elements of jazz, featuring the honest voice and tone of Teboho Maidza, the lead singer of The Rudimentals. A rework from Afro-Ska genre to a house song shows Nini Maluks' ability to interpret different music to allow the song to reach a different audience.
