Bakongo x Spectr - Close Call

  • A club-ready collaboration ten years in the making.

  • Like so many projects in the last year, it took government-enforced isolation to get Roska (Bakongo) and Scuba (Spectr) to make good on their decade-old plan to collaborate. So did all this downtime seep into their creative processes? Nope: both tracks scream clammy basement rave. The pick is "Close Call," which stutters and thuds in the way only Bakongo tracks do, the nifty drums and percussion backed with immense bass weight. There are some nice flourishes up top, like the occasional ping of a single-note siren, but the track lacks a big hook or melody, some juicy detail that would really make it worth the ten-year wait.
