The band from Mauritius defends a sound that blends Indian Ocean’s traditional rhythms and new electronic influences. The track title translated from Mauritian Creole, “Spooky stories.”, evokes the island’s urban legends about night creatures in children tales. It also metaphorically describes night gatherings where spirits are awoken by the sound of traditional percussions. The latter are omnipresent, driven by a bewitching bassline and complemented by obscure synths. This pack includes including remixes from Alma Negra featuring Celine Huber, Sunken Cages and KRAUT.
Stories, rituals and incantation, Babani focuses on local and regional artists to give life to each release. Initial concepted by Mauritian illustrator, Guimero, the artwork hints at the boogieman and reinterpreted by Reunion Island's Kid Kréol and Boogie for this remix pack, who are well versed with spirits and beliefs of the Indian Ocean. We make you visualise the music.
