Rhythm is the foundation of life.From sex and birth to walking and talking, just about every other basic function that keeps living things on this planet alive is based on this cyclical rhythmic pattern. People grooving to a primal house beat is based on the same principal. Add to that smooth pumping Afro rhythms, that house music is ultimately based on, and you have all the makings of a joyous head nodding, foot stomping extended experience. Producer/DJ/Remixer Ron Trent (whose done countless events with the formidable Giant Step crew) lends his talent, as well as three of his own original productions, by mixing this special debut version of our Afro Lounge series that is sure to move the soul. On this 73-minute percussive journey we hear the pulse of many popular underground Afro tracks like “African Dreamland” by Sirius Be, “Congo Deep” by Mateo & Matos, and “The Rhythm” by the man himself, Ron Trent presents Kings Dub. Topped off by renowned producers Kerri Chandler, Blaze, this is one percussive work of art.
