Bleep

New Hyperdub signee Nazar has termed the type of music he makes ‘Rough Kuduro’. What he means by this is that he uses a souped-up version of Kuduro, a dance music of his native Angola, to both critique and process the legacy of the country’s 27-year-long civil war. This sonic aesthetic makes for intense listening on his Enclave EP. Cuts like the title track, ‘Konvoy’ and ‘Warning Shots’ bring together the propulsive rhythms common to the Principe label with abrasive club sonics more commonly found on an imprint like Fade To Mind.
