Review: Thomas Hennebicque aka Toh Imago's second album, Refuge, aimed to recontextualise humankind's relationship with nature and was recorded on the edge of a forest in France, where nature played a big part in the production aesthetic. Now here are the remixes: Berlin legend Shed lends his midas touch on a re-rub of "Monde Interieur" giving the track his renowned "power house" treatment, while Japanese hypnotic techno expert DJ Nobu reinterprets "Cite Peupleraie" as a sublime ambient journey, and To Van Kao's rework of "Chiffchaff" is a deep down and dirty take that's perfect for the afterparty.
Review: Kilumi is an album that Kenyan DJ/producer Coco Em started writing during the height of the pandemic in 2020, and explores elements of different sounds that kept her going throughout this difficult time. These studio experiments resulted in 70 ideas, each one reflecting a different shade of her musical style, which then further developed into this wonderful collection of seven tracks for Paris/Berlin-based imprint InFine. Starting with the smokey atmosphere of the deep and ethereal opening cut "Pace", be hypnotised by the sublime polyrhythms of "Yi Ingi" and an equally immersive and entrancing arrangement underpins a powerful message by vocalist Sisian on "Land (Black) First". This is followed by the sensual and evocative "Mbeni" featuring Janice Iche's breathtaking vocal delivery.
