Review: For the latest missive on his Afroterraneo Music label, Kiko Navarro has joined forces with two Italian legends of the Balearic and Afro-cosmic scenes, DJ Pippi and Willie Graff. The resultant EP is as atmospheric, alluring and subtly dubbed-out as you'd expect, with tons of layered African style percussion. They begin with the deep and tribal-tinged tactility of 'N'Fumbei', where woozy pads, dub disco bass, warehouse-ready synth riffs and West African vocal snippets cluster around heavy drums. 'Esanah' sees them pair a tough Afro-house beat with rising and falling keyboard motifs, while 'N'Fumbeats' is a thrillingly percussive DJ tool that shows off the quality and intensity of the beats underpinning 'N'Fumbei'.
