Black Noise 2084

Granted unprecedented access to the sound archives of the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Belgium, the Italian producer crafted a staggering, deeply Afro-futurist electronic album. The project seamlessly weaves ancient, unreleased field recordings of traditional African instrumentation and tribal chants into massive, heavily distorted UK bass and footwork rhythms. It was universally celebrated as a brilliant, highly rhythmic bridge between ancient history and modern club culture.
