Info for Kaloli
Nicht nur personell, auch musikalisch verbindet diese Band zwei recht verschiedene Welten, denn die Mitglieder des Nilotika Cultural Ensemble leben in der ugandischen Metropole Kampala, wogegen pq und Spooky-J in good old England daheim sind. Da prallt Buganda-TrommelEkstase auf technoide BeatKonstrukte des britischen ClubUndergrounds, da kollidieren traditionelle TranceTechniken mit den einer störrischen Elektronik abgerungenen DarkBeats in rauen Verschränkungen, da kracht, knirscht und knallt es ganz wunderbar. Wobei es niemals um das Zusammenkleben des Nichtvereinbaren geht, nein das nach dem lokalen Wort für die aasliebenden Marabus benannte Album untersucht eher die Gemeinsamkeiten von afrikanischer PerkussionKunst und chaotisch-sinisterer AvantClubAtmo. Und die sind natürlich vielfältig.
Nihiloxica
Nihiloxica
is a project that harnesses the full force of the ancient Bugandan drumming tradition of Uganda and focuses it on the contemporary dance floor through a dark lens of techno sensibility.
Formed by UK musicians Spooky-J & pq and members of the Nilotika Cultural Ensemble, incubated in Kampala by acclaimed label Nyege Nyege Tapes, the cross-continental band explore the common ground between techno and tradition, a conversation between two cultures with a common aim: to make people dance.
Already tearing apart dance floors and festivals across the world with an at once transcendental and earth-shattering live show, Nihiloxica are only just getting started.
The electronic percussive explorations of Nihiloxica [are] part of the new electronic African revolution (Noisey)
Nihiloxica are the best band on Earth right now. (The Quietus)
Eerie, almost gothic, with digital synths fizzing and rumbling around hypnotic, polyrhythmic grooves (Pitchfork)
The tribal-techno percussion of Nihiloxica [takes] the audience to rhythmic territories never before explored. (Les Inrockuptibles)
This album contains no booklet.
