about

KAJJ means through a spear in wolof, those tracks focused on composition, where made after I feel the lack of electronic and club music coming from west Africa, and particularly from Senegal, where my roots are. I try to imagine and create some music that people can hear on the beach or inside a club in Dakar as you can hear a GQOM or an amapiano tracks in South Africa. Taking percussions from the mbalax as the sabar, the tama, the drum talk and using the kalimba/matepe/mbira as a melody to harmonize all this riddim I’ll try to create and ambiance of a preparation to the war or a battle.

“GREEN” will be the preparation how they prepared weapons, I saw all the blacksmiths strike the iron and marabous making rituals and putting some gri-gri on the bodies, it is a track with a indomitable kalimba where one can feel the company of the traditional percussion used in the mbalax and an overdrived bassline, all sprinkled with a hypnotic and soft pad. "NEON" how warriors say goodbye to their family, their friends, their promises one, it is a mix of melancholia and hope, the drum talk tries to console the cries of the marimba through an escalating dialogue and “ARROW RAIN” will be definitely the first act of declaration of war, it is an hybrid techno footwork chopped by sabar patterns, with a hint of spacial exploration ambient, and saturated bassline
