Matthias Heilbronn Matthias Heilbronn & Joeski present The Afrique Ep

Matthias Heilbronn & Joeski, aka BQE take it to Africa and set the mood for the 2010 world cup with this percussion heavy tribal joint. Determined to take their fusion dance series around the world, this time they stop over on the continent of Africa. "Afrique" is a slow building percussion driven jam that keeps and keeps building on chants and voices, until it finally unleashes the madness and takes off into pure dance floor bliss. Matty's World Cup mix adds a tougher beat, that gets right to business from bar one while the analogue synths give more of a deep tech feel. "Raindance" changes up the swing and takes it deep into the jungle! It is as tribal, raw and primal as it gets. Grunts and moans are building with synth stabs and filtered pads until it finally drops into a break with wild chants that will make any dancefloor lose the plot completely. Matty's Gymnopédie No.1 Mix take the drums back to house land, adds another hypnotic chant and breaks down into classical piano land, paying homage to french composer Erik Satie. Another unexpected fusion gone terribly right. You have to hear it to understand.
