BOM Nation's warmly received long player Ase blended 25 years of Western electronic music into a melange of forward facing, leftfield afro futurism. They continue to push the sound with their album remix EP.
First up, man of the moment, Balaphonic unpacks his percussion kit and gets to work on a 4/4 house banger. Sub bass, a heavy groove, the sound of the jungle and elements of the original including Luka Productions' rap, all tie together for a tropical underground killer cut. Not only that, but he delivers a beefed-up re-rub of the original Alabo under his Moodymanc guise with added percussion and tweaks for an enhanced DJ-friendly version.
BOM Nation let themselves off the leash for a heavy, hard-hitting remix of breaks, synths, dubstep and UK bass channeling the cross-pollination between the UK and Africa. It is the sound of the phuture that will fit perfectly into the sets of DJs like Jamz Supernova, Blk Mamba and Tash LC.
Aykalimba takes a deeper route with a nod to early '90s house as it started splintering into jungle. An old-skool break, trippy atmospherics, rave bass and the Luka chorus take a modern step into the past.
Rounding off the EP, the Secret Soul Society does his wobbly Balearic thing. Felix Ngindu's vocal is taken into outer space with delayed synths, arpeggiated bass and all kinds of voodoo.
Catch BOM Nation playing live throughout the UK in 25/26.
