NLite. Live at SABC Studios (feat. Sio & Marcus Gilmore & Tendai Shoxx Shoko)

Electronic jazz-hop trio NLite. has casually assembled a lineup that exudes melodic and improvisational strength on this live EP. Collaborating with vocalist and spoken-word poet Sio, Zimbabwean bassist Tendai “Shoxx” Shoko, and lauded American drummer Marcus Gilmore, this session revolves around “Between Realms,” the tender track taken from NLite.\'s self-titled debut album. The state broadcaster’s treated walls play host to this off-the-cuff improvised jam session, centered around Sio’s lulling, lusty voice spitting a unique poetry verse about the intricacies of a tense, emotional encounter between two parties. Complemented by Gilmore’s light, rhythmic drum patterns and Shoxx’s full-bodied basslines, it’s a collaboration drenched in sensuality.
