“They call me DJ Katapila because I am like a machine. The Caterpillar that digs a hole, creates a road.”

In Jamestown, a coastal district in Accra, Ishmael Abbey has lived and breathed dance music. His alias - Katapila - is woven into the fabric of local parties, his devotion to which has led to decades of focus on delivering the eruptive music he loves to all in earshot, regardless of whether they would ever enter a dance-floor themselves.

It’s this infectious, fiery mentality that has propelled Katapila to the fore of electronic circuits in Ghana and beyond - and what continues to set the pace as listeners gather for his marathon like DJ sets.
This September, his fourth major release sees him making his UK-label debut with Club Yeke: “Techno Africa.”

In the context of Ghana’s electronic and pop music landscape, Katapila’s music is at once singular and the product of myriad influences. The ever-present uptempo traditional asafo sounds and Roland 808-rooted drums echo early Detroit techno and house. This blend of beats with Ghana's coastal rhythms and melodies creates a sound that is lively, pulsing, irrepressible. He then chants, raps or sings in Twi, a vibrant hallmark of his productions, which the artist himself dubs “African Techno” - a sound which has rapidly gained support from cassette-inspired label “Awesome Tapes From Africa”.

The EP breathes with Katapila’s character. In “Techno Africa”, we are taken for a 6-track ride into his skill for instrumentation, vocals and kicks.

In his own words, “I’m so happy that I have a release with Club Yeke. This will be my debut release with them. I love the label and the feeling was mutual. I am very grateful for CY, some people expect me to come back to the UK and to play shows everywhere. Enjoy the good music. Thanks to the producers and everyone who supported the record so far.”

Siba Sawt-System est le fruit d’une quinzaine d’année de recherches musicales, d'un retour aux sources de https://soundcloud.com/azizkonkrite dans sa région natale, et d'une longue période de confinement. "Siba" pour anarchie, "Sawt" pour son et "System" pour l’idée d’une sono mondiale : héritée de luttes historiques, de la culture populaire et du folklore marocain, ici la musique contestataire se mêle aux racines nord africaines de l’artiste. Enfant du hip-hop et de la culture DIY, il puise son inspiration dans des 45 tours amassés dans son home-studio au fil des années. Le résultat : un voyage dans les traditions musicales du Maroc, de la musique Chaâbi, Aïta, Raggada, Amarg, Gnaoua, aux allures futuristes, réinventée et taillée pour les dancefloors, à mettre entre les mains de tous les DJs !

Siba Sawt-System is the result of about fifteen years of musical research, a return to Aziz Konkrite's roots in his native region, and a long period of confinement. "Siba" stands for anarchy, "Sawt" for sound, and "System" for the concept of a global sound system: inherited from historical struggles, popular culture, and Moroccan folklore, here, protest music blends with the North African roots of the artist. As a child of hip-hop and DIY culture, he draws inspiration from the 45 RPM records collected in his home studio over the years. The result is a journey through the musical traditions of Morocco, from Chaâbi, Aïta, Raggada, Amarg, Gnaoua, to futuristic sounds, reinvented and tailored for the dancefloors, to be placed in the hands of all DJs!

Rwina is Daâwa’s (check Gan Gah - Chaâbitronics) twin track. Serving entrancing chaabitronics built around Raï & Reggada themes with some funky bass action evoke a club like atmosphere. Rwina means ‘fuck it up’ (in a good sense).

Sawt Al Mashreq combines a debke rhythm from Palestina/Lebanon with a trap estetic to create a mysterious and bewitching oriental banger. A Bewitching spell is being cast.

Inspired by Vimbuza, a traditional dance used for spiritual healing by the Tumbuka people of Zambia’s eastern region, "Drums of Affliction" is meant to slowly lull listeners into a trance-like state, thereby escaping from pain, worry, and sorrow.

FWD Transmissions: SHE Spells Doom - Drums Of Affliction

My first drum was a blue empty water basin that was nearly as big as me. Til this very day I don’t know how I ended up with it at 4 years old but it was destined to be banged on for hours in the bathroom as my mums goes sick at me from the outside. No matter how much noise I made after a while she still let me play. I joined the Bermuda Gombeys around the same time which taught me sonic language, soundscapes, pace/tempo and distinct rhythms native to its homeland. 500 year old dance moves and performance fighting between each Gombey, 7person drum orchestras, high pitched whistles, polyrhythmic riffs and intoxicating claps of rims and sticks. 

'Gombey' comes from an African word meaning 'rhythm. The infectious beat is provided by various percussion instruments, including a snare drum and goatskin bass drum which creates a unique type of percussive singing. On the first track Drum Core the loose and high sounds of a fife adds unexpected melodies as the hard hitting note flurries around you. Aye Gombey! provides a sonic escape to Bermuda's dancehall and reggae culture - chopped and slowed tempos using ship horns, snares and ethnic drums fused with whips and whistles of Gombey Dancing. Enchufada's Rastronaut flips Drum Core with a percussive head-bopping energy layering his unique imprint from the underbelly of Lisboa's electrifying music scene.

Here’s my tribute to the heritage and music which shaped me
