Funkommunity – Dandilion
Biography
Thames, New Zealand (2011 – present)
Welcome to Funkommunity, a new group founded by kiwi soul producer Isaac Aesili and singer Rachel Fraser, proving yet again that the waves of New Zealand music just don’t stop. Alongside acclaimed names such as Fat Freddy’s Drop, Electric Wire Hustle, Ladi6, Mark De Clive-Lowe and MPM’s Sola Rosa, Funkommunity make sure that its evolving all the time.
MPM first hooked up with Isaac - who is also a horn player, producer and DJ - last year when he released his dark electronica project Karlmarx. Most certainly a man of many guises, Isaac’s eclectic musical preferences perfectly mirror his upbringing between various cultures. With his birth father being Guyanese and his birth mother from Thames, New Zealand, Isaac got adopted into a mixed Maori and Pakeha (NZ European) family.
Isaac’s musical vita includes Opensouls, Solaa (a group he formed in the early 2000s with Electric Wire Hustle mastermind Taay Ninh) and Eru Dangerspiel. Besides his own musical endeavours, Isaac has co-written tunes by the likes of Ladi6, Mara TK and Julien Dyne. Isaac and Rachel first caught up as members of the Recloose Live band and clicked right from the start. After collaborating on Isaac’s solo album ‘Eye See’, they set up Funkommunity, in January 2011, a project that eventually grew from a prolific pair into a five piece band. “Rachel and i have a strong bond that grew during the making of the album.
