Bleep

‘Música Da Terra’ marks just over 10 years since DJ Nigga Fox came to our attention on the ‘African Digital Dance’ compilation, and this latest EP on Príncipe sees him cement his status as one of the most trailblazing producers on the contemporary Kuduro scene. The sounds on the EP, as ever, are pleasingly far away from convention. The tracks are percussive and rhythmically-led but never predictable, and the syncopated beats achieve a real groove when teamed with psychedelic, experimental production sensibilities and so many different musical style influences. A standout moment is 'Sanzaleiro' - a hazy, thumping jam with fellow Príncipe teammate DJ Firmeza, and as a whole the EP takes daring twists and turns that will delight even the most seasoned listener of the Príncipe catalogue.
