TRoy

 

TRoy is a Ghanaian Londoner Record label owner / MC / Producer, music selector and all round muso who in 2000 started Broadicite, one of the world’s most eclectic and experimental Afro-inspired record labels, as a route to search deeper into sound. “I can’t confine myself to one particular genre of music as I have been exposed to so much diversity”.

The label reflects his broad musical tastes, including his own style of Afrobeat, Hip Hop, Future Funk, Broken Beatz and various forms of Nu Jazz – all of which can be found in his productions.

His latest project released under the Broadcite imprint, Bush Meat, reflects the new generation of African rhythms, something that TRoy is calling “AfroTech”.

TRoy is a music progenitor par excellence and his music has taken him around the globe, with travels through nearly every continent, and releases in Belgium, Portugal and Italy to name a few.

MAG-2 army band
Mag-2 army band are an band local to the Western Region of Ghana with an illustrious history. Mag-
2 have been going since the 1970’s, providing a horn section that has been dominiating over the
decades. Founded by leader Amponsah Rockson, who named it after the army unit the band played
for the “magnificent” second battalion.
Mag-2 are best known as the band behind Ghanaian music legends like Rob “Roy” Raindorf a psych-
funk/afrobeat musician and one of the most enigmatic artists to come out of Ghana. In 1977, Rob
traveled to the coastal town of Takoradi in search of Mag-2, which had an entire section of its line-
up dedicated to horns, with the intension of laying out his proposal to them. Luckily for Rob, the
band took him up on it and backed the Ghanaian sensation on two of his most astonishing records –
his first and second albums – “Funky Rob Way” and “Make it Fast, Make it Slow”, both of which were
recorded at Essiebons studios in Accra. Check out their horn section in this track “Rob-More” from
the album “Funky Rob Way” – http://youtu.be/B0lFSWPw6Xk
