The next two are some Dub adjacent African inspired music.
This one giving a nod to Wackie's Rhythm Force in their name & purpose..
Mark Ernestus is no stranger to the Dub techno/Ambient Dub scene since the 90s. He is probably most known from his partnerships with Moritz von Oswald as Basic Channel. He founded the legendary Hard Wax record shop in 1989 & collaborated with Jamaican singers for the more Dub-oriented Rhythm & Sound project I shared last post.
Mark Ernestus' Ndagga Rhythm Force is a collaboration between a revolving group of Senegalese sabar musicians & German techno pioneer Mark Ernestus. A 2007 encounter with a Gambian DJ team turned Ernestus on to mbalax, a Senegalese polyrhythmic dance music developed in the early 70s. The mbalax dancing is based on rhythms from the sabar, a family of drums commonly know as the talking drums with a history of use for communication between neighboring villages up to 10 miles apart. Ernestus travelled to Dakar in search of the mbalax music & the sabar drummers. There he met up with an impromptu ensemble of over 20 mbalax musicians & percussionists, including veterans of the bands of Senegalese legends Baaba Maal & Youssou N’Dour. Over the course of the next two years, the sessions yielded seven records of hypnotic, Dub-inflected mbalax. Finally condensed down into a core unit of 12 musicians, Ndagga Rhythm Force (named in reference to legendary Bronx Dub session band Wackies Rhythm Force) was formed in 2014.
