Tribal Stuff on Viaggio Recordings
Following Musta’s exquisite release on Viaggio in 2019, the Sardinia native returns with a three tracker of far-reaching, club ready rhythms.
‘Carosello’ was born out of a chance sampling session, with Musta digging through a bunch of dusty records he’d never thought of sampling before. The result? An absorbing trek through a tropical jungle, strange sounds call out, enticing melodies attempt to lure you off into the undergrowth. Decaying chimes, twisted rhythms, and a pounding bassline, it’s a tribal trip of surrealist oscillations.
‘Amico Mio’ & ‘Gnamelo’ came from a desire to leave the software as much in its box as possible. Instead, a week-long recording session with a range of Sardinia’s finest talent laying down a range of afrobeat infused parts, on instruments of the era. Worked around bumping live bass and infectious afrobeat percussion - ‘Amico Mio’ is a joyous sunshine filled, trumpet trilling groover whilst ‘Gnamelo’ takes the route of mesmerising, bass heavy slow burner.
