The team behind the record labels Preference Records and The Village is here with an internet radio program.

Humans’ biggest advantage over other species is our ability to cooperate. Cooperation is difficult to establish and almost as difficult to sustain. For any individual, freeloading is always the best course of action. Reason developed not to enable us to solve abstract, logical problems or even to help us draw conclusions from unfamiliar data; rather, it developed to resolve the problems posed by living in collaborative groups.

“Reason is an adaptation to the hypersocial niche humans have evolved for themselves,” Mercier and Sperber write. Habits of mind that seem weird or goofy or just plain dumb from an “intellectualist” point of view prove shrewd when seen from a social “interactionist” perspective.

Colloboh (a portmanteau of Collins Oboh) is a Nigerian- born, Los Angeles-based experimental producer and composer who has spent the past several years cultivating genre-spanning modular wizardry. A self- taught synthesist, Colloboh’s DIY recording diaries (archived on Instagram) quickly amassed a dedicated online following, eventually catching the eye of Leaving Records founder, Matthew David, who wasted no time tapping the then-twenty-six- year-old to perform at the monthly Leaving showcase, Listen to Music Outside In The Daylight Under a Tree.

In 2021, Colloboh permanently relocated to Los Angeles from Baltimore, dedicating himself to music full-time, and quickly becoming a fixture of the city’s vibrant experimental scene. Whereas Colloboh’s debut EP Entity Relation (released that same year) dove headlong into club beats, Saana Sahel , released May 5th 2023 on Leaving Records, showcases the breadth of the fledgeling composer’s ambitions.
