DESCRIPTION:
We thought we couldn't go darker than our previous release, Catalepsia's "Les Seigneurs" but that was until we heard Sir Ouakam's music.Hailing from a basement in South London, surrounded by analogue synths and drum machines, this Senegalese/French producer has delivered a slice of dark and brooding techno reminiscent of early Blackstrobe and Dopplereffekt during their Detroit days.We also find Franz Kirmann lending a hand on production as well as Minor Loud behind the mixing desk and on mastering duties.The result is this Ténèbres EP - the name says it all - 4 tracks that oscillate between dark techno, house and electronica.Ouakam admits being inspired by the horror films he used to watch as a teenager on bad quality VHS in his native Senegal - hence a lo-fi, atmospheric and haunting vibe that could very well be the score to a modern John Carpenter movie.All tracks Sir Ouakam / Produced by Sir Ouakam and Franz KirmannMix & mastering by Minor Loud
