Bursting out of Oakland into the ionosphere, a hot pocket of free jazz, house, blues, African & Latin rhythms, a fully shuffled deck of everything that might expand your head, all fed into the MPC, and hot-wired right into your heart. Now for the first time on vinyl, cut by the steady hand of Dietrich Schoenemann, pressed by the fine folks at Optimal in Germany, and housed in a custom gatefold jacket by Aybee, Deepblak’s Chief Alchemist.


As Resident Advisor’s Christine Kakaire wrote in 2011 “It’s perhaps no mystery, though, why Means and Ways, the transcendent debut of Eric Porter Douglass’ alias Afrikan Sciences—seemingly slipped everyone’s attention (or rather, slipped my attention), on its release in April. Flying Lotus’ freewheeling is of course, ultimately scribbled in the shorthand of a universal language, hip-hop. Douglass’ preoccupation with rhythm, however, fixates on the oddities, the mutations, the dualities and instances of bare collision. His hoarded beats are gleaned from a whirlwind of origins: West London broken beat, the East Coast’s ’90s house, ’40s jazz, indigenous African and Latin rhythms, but they’re deployed concurrently and unexpectedly, with cross-beats and displacement used as accents in his own pidgin dialect.” “Can you imagine the love child of hip-hop godfather Afrika Bambaataa and sci-fi author Octavia E. Butler? If you believe the fans of New York DJ and producer Afrikan Sciences (Eric Douglas Porter), he is the embodiment of this union. His debut Means and Ways (2011) or the more recent Circuitous (PAN, 2014) were received with unanimous acclaim, making him into one of the most respected young producers in New York’s electro scene. The spiritual grandson of jazz legend Sun Ra, Afrikan Sciences fuses the sci-fi atmosphere of afro-futurism with intense polyrhythmic structures. His dense sound is owed to a riot of influences and oddities—mutations, multiple meanings, and moments of pure collision.” - AKADEMIE DER KÜNSTE DER WELT[info from wa]
