Product Description
Following the release of their debut album 'Travel Light' in 2018 (which featured in numerous 'Album of the Year' lists), Tyler Daley and Konny Kon spent the next two years extensively touring the UK, Europe, Australia and South Africa.
With shows on ice over the last 12 months, Children of Zeus took the time to mature their sound; 'Balance' is 50 minutes of future-classic British soul music encompassing hip hop, neo-soul, gospel and r&b.
Konny's laidback flow once again merges with Tyler's unmistakable buttery vocals across a set of bass-heavy backdrops and smoothed-out keys, taking the blueprint from their debut and evolving it into a deeper, more-refined sound.
As with previous material, the album is largely produced by the duo themselves, though we also see the return of Grammy-winner Beat Butcha, whose previous production credits include Jay Z, Beyonce, Nipsey Hussle, & Griselda (one of Butcha's productions graces first single 'No Love Song'). Title track 'Balance' comes from upcoming producer & Soulection regular, cay caleb and also features the only vocal feature on the album, from rising UK soul talentsย Akemi Fox and Georgie Sweet.
The Children of Zeus journey began with a mutual love of 90s Manchester pirate radio; consuming hip hop and beats, r&b and street soul, lovers rock and dancehall, garage and bass music. Then followed decades of performing, creating and collaborating in different guises. Over the past few years, the hip hop soul duo have garnered props far and wide; from Jazzie B to Jazzy Jeff. They've done performances for the likes of Soulection and BBC, in addition to hosting their monthly NTS Radio show and collaborating with artists like Black Milk and Goldie. From travelling light, to travelling nowhere, it's been a time where we've all had to reflect on the lives we lead.
This album is about equilibrium; walking the thin line of life and striving to keep your footing firm at all times, ever pushing forward. Balancing the rough with the smooth and the work with the play. The Children of Zeus sound is now fully grown. It's time to bring 'Balance' into the universe. This is unashamedly big people music to be played out of big speakers. The definitive sound of UK street soul in 2021. The story continues..ย ย Read more
Let customers speak for us
from 349 reviewsMy husband has been searching for this bag for the longest time, and he absolutely loves it! Thank you for the excellent customer service . If you haven't seen his video yet, check it out on his Instagram: @djkered. We truly appreciate it!
For the better part of a DECADE, I've been looking for a DJ bag that wouldn't fall apart at the stitching. Myriads of money spent, hunting for a bag that was as durable as it portrayed, while not looking like Bowser's shell hulking off of my back and concussing people from bumps on the train.
Funny enough to find that it's a hunt that a ton of DJs in my circle had gone through; all of us relegated to using whatever backpack might fit everything, hoping that the zippers lasted longer than their predecessors. This last spring, sitting down with some of that same cirlce, Tucker-Bloom got brought up by a DJ I admire; a recommendation packed up with the phrase "I have traveled across the country and around the world with it, and it hasn't flinched."
I was sold. I bought the bag while sitting at the breakfast table with all of them, and waited with hopeful anticipation that it'd match the praise it'd been given. I'm happy to say that it did all of that, so much more, and so *MUCH MORE* than I'd expected.
The folks at Tucker-Bloom had hit a snafu with materials for my bag, and reached out to let me know. They kept me abreast of changes and hang-ups throughout the entire process, which gave me such a peace of mind from the customer-side care alone that I figured that the bag HAD TO hit all the marks. The bag arrived damn near perfect..and fit EVERYTHING my gigantic "DJ lifestyle" bag held PLUS MORE.
I'd happily recommend this bag and Tucker-Bloom to any DJ that's looking for something that's not only well-made, but will last through travel, record packing, laptop safety, extras, and will still fit snacks + a book for the train.
Hats off, Tucker-Bloom.
Purchased on a whim and I donโt think Iโve ever been more comfortable in a tshirt. The fit and feel is exceptional. Iโm 5โ11โ, 190lbs.
I love it. It is so deep. It can be a break out purse for my larger bag. It has been excellent for travel and I don't have to worry about ink stains or spills inside.
The tote arrived with superb quality and was given as a graduation gift. It makes a perfect gift for an occasion like graduation, because it has a multitude of uses and it's durable quality makes it evident that a graduate entering their career can use the tote forever.
I treated myself to the Transit Pass waist pack just in time for holiday travel. Not only does the nubbed leather smell even better than the picture on the screen. It feels comfortable and as snug or loose as you want to set it around your waist. ID & passport - check. Boarding pass on mobile phone - check. Hard candy - check. And you don't look like you're having a fanny. I actually wear mine on the front, a little to the side. Just like the medieval lady of the castle wore her keys to the pantry and to the women's chambers...
Very nice high quality back with very well thought out design essential for any self respecting vinyl collector who shares their talent publicly.
This sturdy sidekick goes with me eveywhere and keeps everything organized and within hand's reach. Zipper pocket holds way more than I imagined. On an average day it's filled with my wallet, smokes, keys, glasses, usb sticks and other random items. The two pockets arw great for things you reach for often. Mine usually has a lighter and my cell. I usually wear it across my chest but it also works like a money belt (or hip sack) around your waste which I've done on some travel days when discretion is advised. Quality is bullet proof. Another T&B sure shot.
I just absolutely love the bag. They accommodate my need of a faster shipping, just in time to take my vinyls to a gig. If you read this you should buy a bag. Youโll not regret it.
Lovely product, and is the exact specifications to pass a frontier airlines free carry on. ๐
