Exuberant and eclectic, the Parisian artist of Ghanaian origin, in his previous efforts, has wandered between genres, creolizing his muscular and apocalyptic electronics first with hip hop (“Rhizomes”, Other People, 2022) then with the dark and alchemical viola of Resina (“Ego Death”, Subtext 2025); and also setting KMRU's hyper-layered ambience on fire with texturess so varied that they resemble dubstep scores in super slow motion (the beautiful “Limen”,…
