Bleep

Following on from seven Mark Ernestus present Jeri-Jeri releases, which saw the one half of the Basic Channel collaborate with a group of Sabar drummers from Senegal, Ernestus’s Ndagga imprint releases Mark Ernestus’ Ndagga Rhythm Force: a stripped back clout of polyrhythmic drumming overlaid with Basic Channel techno underlay. First track ‘Yermande (Kick and Bass Mix)’ starts off the release with some heavy bass guitar grooves and slow kicks, whilst the ‘Yermande (Prophet 5 Mix) with Mbene Diatta Seck’ rolls in with full-throttle drum rhythms, spectrally distorted vocals and smooth techno pulses. The release features instrumental tracks as well as vocals from the Ndagga regular Mbene Diatta Seck’.
