Band Members: mojoknights is based in basel, switzerland and was called into life as a project in rio de janeiro in january 2005 in order to spread universal love through soulful brazilian vibes. mojoknights has become a platform of expression for soul searching music lovers, and the stakes were raised dramatically with a couple of rockin' parties and an abundance of fresh ideas for future projects. dj gigs so far have included swiss national radio show "sounds drs3" as well as dj radio rundfunk.fm and also regular play at some of the hottest venues around switzerland. in the not so far future a recording label is in the pipeline and there's also plans to re-issue some rare brazilian vinyl and funk rarities.
spread the message: prepared for peace - ready for love.
