Frank Garcia & Tony Vega – Africaman EP

  • Share
  • An all Spanish release here from Play Recordings with Frank Garcia & Tony Vega combining to create the Africaman EP. As the name suggests, expect some solid dark tribal drums to hit you quite hard in this release. First up is the title track Africaman. Starting out with some crisp drum patterns and a cut up vocal, the track continues to flow nicely with a dark tribal set of drums and a deep subtle baseline that bubbles beneath the beats. Very chunky throughout, a track like this really would need a big soundsystem to get the full benefits of the big sounds that emerge from this production. Following this is a Technology Accapella that features some vocal and drum loop effects. First up on the flip is the Original Mix of Technology. Again, this production relies on deep dark tribal sounds, as an intense set of drums work quite well with a subtle vocal effect as well as a booming baseline. A dark stabbing synth enters the track giving it a grittier edge, and making the production on a whole quite dark and dirty. Another solid outing here by the Spanish duo. Following this is a remix of Technology by production outfit Afroboogie. Another pretty solid affair, this remix again has quite a chunky tribal feel to it, with a nice smooth baseline combining with solid drum patterns and a whole array of sound effects that combine quite nicely. For tribal lovers, this EP is certainly worth checking out, and for those that love solid chunky music then I urge you to do the same. There are some solid moments on here that are quite worthy of providing a good moment or two.
