Producer, singer, long-time DJ, resident on Rinse France and previously spotted collaborating with fellow London fusionist Akito, Noire makes his Djembe debut with two fine-tuned workouts that celebrate all the roots that move and inspire the Djembe label and parties. ‘Body Drunk’ takes the lead; a prime time club piece that wriggles and writhes amid UK funky, kuduro, afrobeat and classic tribal house with its driving drums and yearning vocal from Noire himself.
It’s backed by ‘Deep Thinker’ which strips back even more elements to bare more of the young UK artist’s soul. Cosmic bruk for the 23rd century, laced with a little alien electro charm, a deep, beguiling mood and that all important hypnotic percussion Club Djembe is known for, this will live up to its name and twists as many heads as it does hips when dropped in the later hours. Enjoy.
