Description
Body & Soul NYC resident Joaquin ‘Joe’ Clausell has launched a new series, ‘Iboga’ – an extension of his ‘unofficial edits and overdubs’ project focused on “psychedelic takes” on “African classics”.
He begins EP number two with ‘Abuja Rough’, a rolling, lightly housed-up take on a lesser-known mid-80s Afro-synth-pop number, before ratcheting up the tempo, intensity and percussive pressure on ‘Summer Africa’. He successfully straightens out and beefs up an organ-rich Afrobeat workout on ‘People’, while standout ‘Afrikan Basement’ is a lightly dubbed-out chunk of densely percussive Afro-house topped off with effects-laden vocals and sax solos.
