Afro Damba by Peter Power
Multi Culti’s lucid-lifestyle dreamer Peter Power takes us on a free-wheeling trip to the motherland on AFRO DAMBA.
The Irish-born Voodoohop resident has returned from the jungles of Bahia with a fresh ep of primal party tracks sampling voices and rhythms from across Africa and it’s neighbouring islands, producing what is easily his most club-oriented work to date. Whereas his tracks for Voodoohop were spiritual flute-heart-openers, these are neo-pagan mating-ritual floor-fillers. The rhythm is set to tribal chug, with rollicking percussion, reverb-soaked vocals, and all the fun jangly bells & bits you expect to be hanging off such a well-traveled producer.
If that weren’t enough, we enlisted Romanian-dance-duo Khidja to double-down and remix both Adama Waro and Dansakoni (available as a digital-exclusive). Resident mix-lord Dreems also weighs in with a subtle remix of Dansakoni, gently upping the tempo and tweaking the knobs in selfless service of the original groove.
• ‘Dansakoni’ samples Guinea’s Famadou Konaté
• 'Mori Baka’ samples a song of the Baka people, traditionally sung to help children fall asleep
• ‘Mori' comes from Moribyassa; a traditional malinke rhythm of West Africa
• ‘Adama Waro’ features a vocal sample from Danyel Waro from Reunion Island
• Djembe percussion on 'Dansakoni' and 'Adama Waro' by Adama Dramé

Over the years, however diverse, peter's sound is immersed in a growing sensitivity of ambience. Finding perpetual inspiration in the massaging forces of nature.
Cultivating sheer presence is at the heart of the process,
Between ancestral echoes and contemporary waves. Shimmering ripples shake into life. A playful dance of atmospherical alchemy.
Gently glowing, The warm hum of home.
