Bambounou FACT mix

Bam­bounou has been putting in work these past few weeks. First­ly, we saw his debut release on Whities, a groove filled min­i­mal­is­tic EP spread across 3 tracks, which cer­tain­ly turned some heads; check for your­self here! Fol­low­ing on from the release Bam­bounou also deliv­ered the lat­est FACT mix with very com­pelling results. 

From the word go the mix sets dark and eerie tones as Bam­bounou wel­comes you in with wob­bling bass, snap­ping hits and sin­is­ter synth lines. Through­out the mix, he keeps the ener­gy rolling high with an offer­ing of tech­no that at times infus­es ele­ments of African sounds, house influ­ences and off-kil­ter rhythms. The hour-long affair hits hard when you want it to most but still gives you plen­ty of breath­ing room with play­ful grooves. 

Last but not least in Bam­bounou​’s recent endeav­ours was his Moscow Boil­er Room. Sad­ly, the per­for­mance was called off 5 min­utes before he hit the stage due to the unan­nounced arrival of the police. How­ev­er, they won’t stop him that eas­i­ly, expect to see this one resched­uled some­time soon. For now, enjoy the pod­cast below!
