Montreal-based Chadian producer, singer and guitarist Caleb Rimtobaye, aka Afrotronix, fuses ancestral African tradition with future-facing electronics. KÖD expands his exploration of the sounds of his homeland – weaving tama and other hand percussion, sampled Chadian call-and-response singing, and more, into his ear-grabbing electronic compositions. The album balances the familiar, from desert blues guitar licks to Sahelian polyrhythms, with outlandish and experimental programmed elements.
Opener ‘Incertitude’ kicks things off in fine fashion with treated vocal samples, hand percussion and squelchy synth refrains. The addition of a clutch of guest vocalists mixes things up and adds even more colour to proceedings.
