\u201cBasar\u201d<\/strong> is the new album from Berlin based duo Africaine 808<\/strong>, and it pushes their divine blend of West African bass and rhythms, disco, island-funk and house to newer heights. Their deep and timeless debut is about \u201cFreedom and Freedom only\u201d and is an album that reaches for the party Arthur Russell was talking about when he said \u201cI wanna see all my friends at once.\u201d<\/p>\n

Africaine 808<\/strong> are\u00a0musician and\u00a0producer\u00a0Dirk Leyers, formerly\u00a0one half of the project\u00a0Closer Musik, and Berlin DJ and established artist Nomad. The pair met in Berlin at the city\u2019s annual summer techno demonstration Fuckparade in 2000, where they caught the infamous \u201cTechno Viking\u201d scene
\nlive as it unfolded. Nomad got his first drum aged 6 years old, from a church collective yard sale. Now an avid collector of African influenced musical styles, from South African Shangaan to Westafrican Funk, his rhythmic quest has lead him to study and explore African and world music for almost 3 decades. Nowadays Nomad\u2019s legendary Vulkandance\u00a0parties are a melting pot of African, Latin, and Caribbean club music.<\/p>\n

The title \u201cBasar\u201d<\/strong> comes from the ancient term for \u201coriental marketplace”, a place to experience a multitude of impressions with your senses. Like an exotic marketplace, \u201cBasar\u201d is filled with different sights and sounds around every corner. From the deep and mystical \u201cNGONI\u201d which takes West African music to the rave with wobbling bass and hints of 90s ethno-dub to the killer
\nsquirmer of a bassline on \u201cLanguage of the Bass ft. Alex Voices\u201d which keeps things heavy but nimble whilst recapturing UK bass histrionics. The smokey, soulful tones of OFRIN on \u201cReady For Something New\u201d offers a mystical downbeat gem. Whereas \u201cBalla Balla\u201d takes it back to the
\ndancefloor for a sweaty rhythmic number that bounces off the walls with it\u2019s tribal funk groove. Recent 12\u201d single \u201cRhythm Is All You Can Dance\u201d also makes an appearance; wedding funk, earthy rhythms and frenzied African grooves to the gurgle of an 808.<\/p>\n

The duo made their debut back in 2013 with \u201cTummy Tummy\u201d; which featured on Will Speculators W.T. Recordings compilation “DJ MUSCLE.” The following year Golf Channel put out “Lagos New York.” Pairing New York flecked disco with West African bass and rhythms, “Lagos New York” made for one of 2014\u2019s most essential electronic releases.<\/p>\n

Having found the right home with one of the best labels (and parties) in New York City, the Berliners debut album \u201cBasar\u201d<\/strong> has the feeling of an essential album all over – a big, brooding, emotional and uplifting record that you can dance, laugh and cry to.<\/p>\n
