Monzanto Sound "Pepper Dem"

Sounds from the UK

25/08/2025 |

"Pepper Dem" by Monzanto Sound is a high-octane burst of urban funk infused with vintage 70s vibes, effortlessly bridging the streets of South London with the soulful pulse of suburban soundscapes. Clocking in at 3'18", the track rides on a tight, hypnotic groove—driven by a deep, infectious bassline, crisp drums, and shimmering keys—while Mimi Koku’s soaring, expressive vocals float above the mix with magnetic presence. The UK-based five-piece collective blends rhythms and melodies rooted in the African Diaspora with a psychedelic, almost cosmic sensibility, creating a sonic world that’s both danceable and dreamlike. With pulsating polyrhythms, minimalistic precision, and a keen ear for space, Monzanto Sound crafts a sound that’s raw yet refined, energetic yet meditative.

Made up of Wazoo Baden-Powell on drums, Anthony Boatright on bass, Rachel Asafo-Agyei on guitar, Mali Baden-Powell on keys, and Mimi Koku on vocals, the band operates as a true ensemble, where each instrument locks into a greater rhythmic tapestry. Their music traverses funk, trip hop, and neo-soul, but always with a distinct identity—hypnotic, rhythmic, and deeply groove-oriented. "Pepper Dem" is more than a song; it’s a sonic statement of cultural fusion and musical intention. Monzanto Sound doesn’t just play—they conjure atmosphere, invite movement, and connect generations of Black music into a fresh, forward-thinking expression. With this track, they prove that funk isn’t just alive—it’s evolving.
