Review: Both renowned electro swing producers and outstanding DJs, French duo Stabfinger and K.D.S have been involved in numerous musical projects for the past years. Having collaborated with artists from the underground techno or UK ghetto funk scenes, Stabfinger's productions don't limit themselves to a single music genre. KDS, for his part, has been DJing across the globe since he was young and especially known for his communicative performances.. The Llore EP is an uptempo release fit for Summer dance floors, with more Latin and Afro influences than their usual productions; the result of inspiring trips they recently made to Colombia and Argentina. "Llore" is a hypnotic and progressive house track composed with techno producer Audioflow from Killadisco. The children singing on "Iguazu", the ancestral voices and sizzling percussions of "afro house", the disco, funk, and fantastic energy of "Elastick"; all these elements come together for a great combination of musical backgrounds and influences.
Review: Ghetto Kumbe are a three man band. Their music is a unique blend of house beats with traditional west African rhythms such as the lambam, soli, sofa, kassa and makru among others. These are merged with Afro-Colombian rhythms such as cumbia, bullerengue, son palenquero and the chalupa del rio. Their forthcoming EP "Soy Selva" (translated as "I'm Jungle") is about the ancient people of Colombia, their traditions, their relations with mother nature, universal respect and ritual dancing. The high-octane spiritual life music of "Ware Warrior" for instance reaches neat tribal moments while Dagbani Dance (feat Zongo Abongo) goes for a more traditional and ritualistic vibe with its hypnotic rhythm arrangements and vocal chants. Sublime music for proper trance induction sessions. However, there's much more about this EP than the ultimate innovative act from the emerging Colombian melting pot.
