In Zulu, “Thula” can mean peace and/or quiet. Urban Dictionary however, defines it as “an intimidating, sexual woman who will do whatever she can to get what she wants. She’s kind, but has a dark and mysterious side.” We like to think this EP as having a bit of both elements. South African producer Kunzima Theology puts forth his 3-instrumental Thula EP, bringing harmony to the soul as well as moments that delve into obscurity. On “Meeting the Elders” we hear a ritualistic incantation of xylophone riffs and organic rhythms punctuated by a dark bassy synth loop. “Theology” is up next, with its alluring and moody strings popping with bubbly percussion casting a virtual spell on the dance floor spirits. The EP’s namesake, “Thula” rounds things off with a steady 4/5 and staccato synth whose energy builds to a crescendo of vivid strings that peak and plunge back to its sweet-sounding center. An overall good example of how musical forms can embody one’s state of mind, no matter how zen or wild.
