DESCRIPTION:Having released their debut album ‘Travel Light’ to critical acclaim\, Manchester duo Children Of Zeus announce a nine-date UK tour.
 
 
 It’s  been  a  long  road  leading  to  this  album  for Tyler Daley and Konny Kon. They  first  embarked  on  their  expedition  into  the  music  game  two  decades  back  -Tyler  entered  the  scene  as  a  songwriter\,  producer  and  vocalist\,  originally  under  the  moniker  Hoodman\,  whilst  Konny  began  MCing\,  DJing  and  beat-making  for  hip  hop  crews  The  Microdisiacs  and  Broke’n’£nglish\,  along  with  DRS  &  Strategy.
 
 Prior to Travel Light\,  Children  of  Zeus  had released  three  sell-out  singles  on  First  Word  (‘Still  Standing’\,  ‘I  Can’t  Wait’ and  ‘Slow  Down’)  and  a compilation  EP  comprised  of  tracks  made  by  the  duo  over  the  last  decade entitled  ‘The  Story  So  Far...’.
 
 Children  of  Zeus  have  finally  reached  the  stage  where  they  are  releasing  their  debut  album  proper\;  the  over-riding  ethos  of  which  is  about  keeping  their  eyes  on  the  road  ahead\,  whilst  shedding the  baggage  they’ve  accumulated  over  the  years  - ‘Travel  Light’.  
 
 Features mainly come from  Manny  family\; [  K  S  R  ]\,  LayFullStop\,  Metrodome(Levelz)  and  former  Broke  ’n’  £nglish  sparDRS.  Guest  production comes  in  the  form  of  Switzerland’s Sebb  Bash\,  Nottingham’s Juga-Naut\,  and  London’s Beat  Butcha\,  and  there’s your  favourite  DJ’s  favourite  DJ\, Mr  Thing\,  slicing  up  the  turntables  on  two  tracks too. There’s a few  extra  special  ingredients  on  this  album\,  along  with  their  trademark  sub-heavy\,  rhodes-laden  hip  hop  soul  hybrid.  Reggae  music  has  always  been  an  integral  piece  of  the  CoZ  sound-system  ethic\,  so  we  see  Tyler  putting  on  his  lover’s  rock  hat  for  ‘Hard  Work’\,  and  they  invite  soul  queen Terri  Walker to  join  them  on  the  fierce  ‘Sling  Shot  Riddim’\,  while  the  album  closes  with  the  epic K15-produced  jazz-bruk  opus\,  ‘Vibrations’\,  on  which  Konny  breaks  it  down  quite  simply"\:"  “high  frequency  means  that  you  travel  light\,  so  get  lifted  yo\,  we’ll  live  gifted”.
 
 Long as  the  journey  has  been\,  the  time  for  looking  back  is  over.  This is about the present and future of Children of Zeus.  A shining  light  in  Manchester’s  now-school\,  and  rightly  heralded  by  many  as  the  best  new  act  to  emerge  in  British  soul  music  in  the  past  decade.  Aside from  the  above  features\,  this  project  is  written\,  performed  and  produced  entirely  by  Tyler  and  Konny.  
 
 Since the  crew  first  took  flight\,  the  end  destination  has  never  changed\,  the  aim  remains  the  same  -to  create  timeless  music\,  in  their  own  unique  style\,  without  compromise\,  irrespective  of  industry  and  life  distractions.  The moral being this - travel light.
 
 This is a standing show. Presented by SJM Concerts.
