Afrikan Sciences - Means and Ways

[DBR-D029] Afrikan Sciences – Means and Ways LP

We are proud to play host to the mighty Afrikan Sciences debut album “Means and Ways”. After producing some of the most cosmic soul juggling tracks of the last decade Afrikan Sciences has finally woven together a full length. Already receiving early run from likes of Gilles Peterson Means and Ways is a watermark of rhythmic freedom. True to previous Afrikan Sciences escapades rhythmic rules are re-programmed, and tuned to cosmic frequencies. These are sounds that you need not attempt to control. Ease yourself open your mind, and let the imagination take the wheel. We hope you Enjoy.

~ Simbad


Douglass’ preoccupation with rhythm, however, fixates on the oddities—the mutations, the dualities and instances of bare collision. His hoarded beats are gleaned from a whirlwind of origins—west London broken beat, the east coast’s ’90s house, ’40s jazz, indigenous African and Latin rhythms—but they’re deployed concurrently and unexpectedly, with cross-beats and displacement used as accents in his own pidgin dialect. ~ Resident Advisor

DBR-D028 | Damon Bell – Kush Musik pt. 2

Damon Bell returns with pt.2 of his much heralded Kush Musik series. Laced with
smooth engaging rhythms Damon again crafts music for multiple head-spaces. If you know Damon personally you can testify that his productions are totally in sync with his personality. Smooth, welcoming, with a subtle complexity are all things that come to mind when one thinks of Damon, and i am always perplexed as to how he manages to convey these themes consistently within his productions. We hope you enjoy. ~ a.

Written and produced by Damon Bell for Deepblak Recordings 2010.

E.B.Rha (AYBEE, Erik Rico, Rhamis Kent) – Arizmendi Jam

This one had been sitting on the Hardrive for a few years (2006). One for the Broken Beat heads. This joint came about as a collaboration between myself Erik Rico, and Rhamis Kent. Affectionately called the Arizmendi Jam after the pizza spot in Oakland where we would meet up at when Erik Rico was in town from LA. One day we were sitting there eating, and Rhamis says “Yo let’s go get down on some stuff.”

So we headed back to my crib, and I pulled up a track that I had been sitting on. Erik started vibing loaded up some synths, and we were off. A fun collabo taking turns adding elements. Erik layed the synths and Bass, I layed the pads, and Rha added another Bassline. Goodtimes…

I miss that time when so many producers were letting go of the 4×4, and running for the fence…
