fantastic and incredibly rare afro-disco album from 1978. originally released on the seminal french disco label barclay, this album seamlessly blends elements of african, afrobeat, funk and disco styles, with segments continually morphing and evolving into new tracks. irresistibly funky and percussive, this album’s drumming patterns and melodies grandually hypnotise the listener, with only outbreaks of african chanting breaking up the grooves. the b-side is effectively one long drum track broken down into 7 segments that never drop a beat. this album really takes the listener on a journey to africa, via 1978 new york, and is a real one of a kind. it’s also a samplers dream with no end of complex drum patterns and basslines to recycle.

sa010 presents three uncompromising visions from xhin, go hiyama and donor. a1 is xhins aggressive return to wax on sa. >hepta< is a gnarling, snarling tale that erupts into acrid broken beat. this track comes from xhin s new studio sessions, and it anticipates the coming of his most ambitious project yet. b1, >tasu<, comes from a new addition to the sa fold, go hiyama. >tasu< is hard, industrial and dub-filled in precisely the right quantities. >tasu< is perfectly swung peak-time techno and a foretaste of the monad chapter that go hiyama is currently crafting. donors flipside, >lapse<, shares the deep atmosphere that permeated his monad ii and sampler series releases. while hi hats sneak into the foreground and the background is punctuated by murmuring vocals, lapse gathers velocity around the weight of its bassline.

backchat titled ep is filled with three tracks, all spiked with steady beats, funk, deep melodic chords and an overall glamour house feel. this is not only very well produced electronic music, its also a journey through deepness and a modern take on the soulful side of the electronic music which exceeds the genre by far with a rich, colourful palette of surprising, individual sounds, butter-smooth chords, some of the most raunchiest bassline that you ll ever hear outside of drum n bass, cleverly constructed beat patterns that yet never fail to jack and swing and an understanding of dub that goes far beyond the random use of echo and effects. on vinyl – as we like our little record-shop around the corner.
