about

'SHOOK WORLD' is the new album by KING VISION ULTRA (Queens, NYC)

birthed through an invitation to collaborate by Algiers (Atlanta, GA), and originally envisioned to exist as a digital mix, KING VISION ULTRA's 'SHOOK WORLD' swiftly arose to become a universe of its own, while also existing in conversation with the Atlanta band's forthcoming album, 'SHOOK' (out a month after - February 24, 2023)... both works sharing principles of collaboration and honoring home and counter-
cultural practice. created through a sample cocktail of supplied stems from Algiers’ 'SHOOK' (which KVU calls the “'SHOOK' SAMPLE PACK”), as well as KVU's own sonic archive – a collection of beloved musical recordings, cassettes from NYC's not-forgotten mixtape suppliers Tape Kingz and Kim's Videos, iPhone field recordings, voice messages, and found Youtube clips – 'SHOOK WORLD' is an ode to the mixtape form which served as an entry point into music for KVU as a DJ in the mid-90's, while sending love to chosen family and telling “a NYC story of many NYC stories.”

KVU and Algiers consider this a unique collaboration that resembles a passing of a baton, amidst a shared reverence for the practice of sampling.

though running parallel to 'SHOOK', KVU's 'SHOOK WORLD' is NOT a remix album, not by any means.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

“made with gratitude to the 80’s/90’s NYC mixtape form
this is an album about preserving self and home
(PROTECTING THE PEACE)
amidst the constant threat of colonial violence from those
who arrive just to leave
(when it becomes "difficult"),
those who refuse to acknowledge and respect
the traditions and the histories
of the people who have lived through
and built this city
upward
and continue to do so.

this is an album about chosen family and honoring the lineage of the land.

this is a NYC story of many NYC stories.

this land was never ours to begin with.

to honor the mixtape tradition i grew up with
to honor chosen family
to honor being a good neighbor
to honor lineage
to honor land
to honor yesterday, today, and tomorrow
to honor time’s quantum nature
(not as a metric for so-called productivity)
to honor survivalto honor slowness, rest, and peace”

- KING VISION ULTRA / GENG PTP
