DESCRIPTION:
3 Track EP Of Deep Tech With Female Civil Rigfhts Activist Vocal & On the Flip Jazzy Deep House witgh Spoken Male Vocal 1 of 300
Super limited import copies of the new Yoruba record by Afefe Iku. It's a rather special one as the Missouri house spiritualist takes us on a tribal journey across three unfathomably deep tracks.
"Sister George" has a rootsical throb not unlike a Basic Channel or early Richie Hawtin record. But rather than keeping thing minimal Iku adds a plethora of ricocheting perx, dub-flecked swirls and a female vox musing on Black rights and equality.
"Karma Debt" sees Afefe turn his deft production had toward the piano and jazz drums; utilizing a quirky Afro vocal hook and pounding beat to conjure up a quintessential slice of afro-deep-house. Superb!
"Saffron" concludes, shimmering with 3D synth patches and driving by cavernous bass plumes. Iku showing off his rich and masterful production techniques in a spectacular finale that gets better on a every listen.
As usual the producer has concocted timeless house music with that spiritual edge that instantly connects with worshipers of the dance. Highly recommended!
The Yoruba label is a home to some of house music's most spiritual sounds. It is music with genuine depth and real artistry and next up is Afefe Iku with a stunning three tracker that takes you into another dimension. First up is the quietly intense and steamy 'Sista Georgia' with its dark-soul strings and spoken word vocal licking you in as the wood block hits swing nicely. 'Karma Debt' is more playful, with vast great kick drums and jazzy keys up top. 'Saffron' closes out with a melancholic house groove, warming xylophone melodies and an intoxicating atmosphere.
