We’re thrilled to share the news of Bokani Dyer’s new deal with Gilles Peterson’s London-based Brownswood Recordings that marks a significant step in the career of the pianist, producer and songwriter.
The first release from the partnership is the single “Resonance of Truth” which Dyer describes as a “song for the social media generation” and which has already been featured on several key jazz playlists including Apple Music’s Jazz Scene: South Africa and Spotify’s Jazz NXT. “Resonance of Truth” is taken off Dyer’s forthcoming album Radio Sechaba that will be released on May 12th. Brownswood Recordings is an independent record label founded by DJ and broadcaster Peterson in 2006. A platform for new artists and music creatives, as well as an outlet for established acts to do something different, the label has long championed independent, eclectic music and Dyer’s signing to the label is another important step in his music career.
“I’m so happy to have found a partner in Brownswood,” says Dyer. “Gilles Peterson has been a symbol
of some of my highest ideals in music making — front of mind is a freedom to express through any genre. He unites vastly different worlds of music together to create powerful sonic experiences.
