Longtime US house veteran Joeski’s remix is featured on the EP, which is a significant professional milestone for the Benin-born musician.
On Loca, the Latin influence is immediately audible as Saharan-like textures develop with resonant hats and jovial, Spanish-sounding vocals. While buzzing key solos are incorporated softly throughout, tribal drumming floats in and out alongside. Following Drum Beat, which is a welcome example of modern Afro-house jam-packed with unprocessed instruments and real lyrical samples, Joeski’s remix brings the proceedings to a fast-paced, club-ready conclusion.
My latest EP Drum Beat is the perfect assemblage of past and present, as it blends elements of my musical roots with current day inspirations. Loca reaches into the Latin realm and on the other side is Drum Beat, which reflects the deep anchor of my upbringing in West African music. Together these tracks create an eclectic and energetic pairing that feel right at home on Crosstown Rebels.
