GUESS WHAT - SOLAR BOATS GUESS WHAT

Despite their obsession of appearing on stage in astronaut onesies and mystical masks, we do know who is responsible for this cosmic saga : drummer and beatmaker Luke Warmcop (Phat Dat, Orchestre du Montplaisant) and keyboardist Graham Mushnik (Derya Yildirim & Grup
Simsek).

These two share a common love for specific styles of music such as Italian library, Afro-Caribbean grooves, Arabic pop, space-jazz - their list of borrowed influences is long, but the aforementioned styles already say a lot about Guess What's identity.
Solar Boats is inspired by ancient Egypt's iconography, transporting the Pharaohs' souls to the Otherworld, a concept used, metaphorically, by Guess What to travel and explore the multidimensional Universe, which we can now call Multiverse. A mythical saga: The album presents an entertaining collection of short musical pieces, stemming from various areas of the Cosmos, which the duo Guess What have collected thanks to their Solar Boat trips alongside the Children In Space - children who, having grown up in outer-space, navigate through galaxies and nebulae as easily as we take the bins out or walk to school...they present a groovy, poetic and folkloric picture of some of the most remote parts of the Cosmos.

Luke Warmcop and Graham Mushnik formed Guess What in in France during 2005 and began assembling samples of experimental percussion and strange organ themes influenced by jazz, bossa nova, psychedelic soul, rap, and other genres. Two years later, the duo moved to London and founded the Catapulte Records label with a long-time collaborator, Antonin Voyant (L'Orchestre du Montplaisant, Derya Yildirim & Grup Simsek, Phat Dat).
