Bandcamp Best Electronic 06/2024
Sam Interface is the British bass champion known for his Trinidadian soca fusions with Jus Now, as well as the high-energy global bass/rave of the label he founded with Ahadadream in 2017, More Time. And Gafacci is the endlessly inventive Ghanaian producer who seems to find new rhythmic twist, no matter what tempo he’s working at. Sam went to Ghana to record with him, and it sounds like they had a very good time. The resulting seven tracks here are pure celebration, from massed horn sections to slithering grime bass to dazzling percussion interplay. It’s a non-stop carnival of sound.
