The EP opens with the hypnotic album track “Lights Out Night On”, described by the artist as “a night view of Casablanca from the perspective of a Gnawa street musician”. sUb_modU – the polyrhythmic project of Berlin-based Italian-born Romeo Sandri – re-contextualises “Light Out Night On” using his distinctive Fela-electronics analogue synths. The remix draws comparisons to Maalem Mahmoud Guinia & Floating Points Gnawa-fusion collaboration “Mimoun Marhaba”, meshing organic and electronic sounds.
Glyn “Bigga” Bush, internationally known for his work as mid-maestro with Rockers Hi Fi, at the turn of the century his Lightning Head and Biggabush projects, and more recently spearheading the percussive-group Magic Drum Orchestra, flips the up-tempo single “Traveller” on its head. Deep and ambient dubby vibes transform the track, creating something entirely new out of an existing song. While broken beat revivalist, producer and DJ - Danny Wheeler aka WheelUP puts “Yomali” down to a hard-hitting funky beat. Minimal yet effective, “Yomali” is converted into a DJ tool ready for when the clubs reopen.
