On Club (2008)

-This is an invitation into an atmosphere of rhythm and tones where traditional instruments and voices are painted onto an electronic canvas. It is an experimental dive into the musical skills of the club universe which I want to bring out through the music. Malika Makouf Rasmussen, 2008

On Club is Malika Makouf Rasmussen’s second solo release: while Exit Cairo moved along a north-south axis, this album takes us around the world and into the “club universe”.

Songs from the album

Luanda street
Club berbêre

On Club is composed, arranged and produced by Makouf Rasmussen. The album features artists from Tanzania, Honduras, Germany, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Angola and Norway which she both admires and has challenged in the pursuit of the right musical elements.

As with Exit Cairo, On Club is a concept album where the listener is taken through different environments and atmospheres; from the subtle to club in its broadest sense.

Welcome to Malika Makouf Rasmussen’s club universe!

The album is released on the newly established The NEW MUSIC label which specializes in the new generation of cross-over, world music and electronica. On Club is the first release on the label and is to be distributed by EMI Music Norway to record shops as well as via the Internet.
