The Durian Brothers.

the durian brothers are a three piece band (sequencer, 2×2 prepared turntables). their music is a vision of a new and radical club music (strictly 90 bpm). A bassdrum is the boss of the rhythm but multiple dense, rhythmic structures generated from turntables played with rubberbands and found objects; muted guitar sequences lead through a jungle of sounds.

The music of the Durian Brothers burns with the crackle humm of an ancient woven sonic fabric, and transcends the familiar and often rigid confines of loop based / sequencer music.

Chris from Sahel Sounds Just returned to the Sahel region of Mali/Mauritania for more music advocacy, and information transmission. And the gems have already begun to flow.

Keep and eye to his website in the months to come. He will be  based out of a recording studio in the town of Nouakchott, Mauritania. Gathering urban and traditional sounds, and building sonic community.

Chris and I have been sharing tunes, and are planning on some exciting collabs in the very new future..

Stay choooned.
