gerade einmal 20 jahre alt ist der in detroit geborene und über den umweg der vereinigten arabischen emirate nach london gelangte kamau baaqi alias darling farah. und gerade einmal drei monate hat er in england an seinem debuetalbum gearbeitet. body ist als titel aber eine glatte untertreibung. sein techno-entwurf, der verbindungslinien zu detroit, basic channel oder heutiger bassmusik zieht, spricht weit mehr areale an als den (bewegten) koerper, auch wenn der im zentrum dieser dunklen welt aus bass, hall und pochendem beat steht. darling farah geht techno aehnlich idiosynkratisch an wie etwa shed, laesst die spuren ineinanderrumpeln und verzichtet hier und da auch schon mal ganz auf den drumcomputer. das führt dann zu hoehepunkten wie dem duester-verstolperten bruised, in dem der rhythmus erst spaet, dafuer dann aber umso gewaltiger einsetzt.

3 track bangin drum & bass madness

darling farah is like a shot of adrenalin, administered by his own mind to escape from the anesthetized music scene of his home, the united arab emirates. despite living in one of the most club baron countries in the world and a city that actually prohibits live music to be played in public, the talented eighteen year old has managed to master the art of production and therein spawn an underground scene all on his own.
