On the “A” side “Kumu” is a dark, glitchy four to the floor track with bubbling synths, live percussion and Baba Sissoko’s unmistakeable voice, while German producer Harmonious Thelonious aka Stefan Schwander (Antonelli Electr., Repeat Orchestra, Rhythm Maker) stretches out the tracks inherent minimalism while tastefully beefing up the drums, adding synth flourishes and well timed drops. On the flip, “Kumu” is a more acoustic vocal and Xalam driven track with stuttering electronic growls and groans and minimal percussion. London based Ibibio Sound Machine (Soundway Records) brings the funk into the mix with keyboard stabs, guitars, and a super catchy bassline and plenty of synthesizer explorations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"wonderwheelrecordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44391784907044,"sku":"","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/8842\/5764\/products\/0024777490_10.jpg?v=1673552994"},{"product_id":"khalab-baba-sissoko-bognya-lenke-remixes-7","title":"Khalab \u0026 Baba Sissoko - \"Bognya\/Lenke\" Remixes 7\"","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfter the success of DJ Khalab \u0026amp; Baba Sissoko’s afro-futurist masterpiece “Khalab \u0026amp; Baba” LP, and winning the Track of the Year award at Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Awards, K\u0026amp;B return to Wonderwheel with two remixes of “Bognya” from the album.
