This album is a unique compilation of rhythm tracks that combine drum kit rhythms like funk, hip-hop and disco with world music percussion. The tracks include various arrangements as well as solo phrases on percussion. These tracks were put together using Simon’s “Total Groove” loops project which has been used as the template for 5 albums, providing rich and varied rhythmic ideas and platforms for building songs. Originally used as demo tracks, the album now stands alone as it’s own creative project.

Compositeur, Multi-instrumentiste autodidacte, ce projet solo est basé principalement sur une performance live grâce à une loopstation et une libre place à l'improvisation. Johan P'Mbo mêle à ses boucles une kora électrique, des percussions acoustiques, un pad pour les beats et un synthé pour les basses et les leads. Il explore et retranscrit en musique les sentiments communs de la Vie et de ses rencontres grâce à tous les styles de musique qu'il a eu la chance de pratiquer en tant que percussionniste : World Music, Flamenco, HipHop, Cumbia, Maloya, Reggae, House et Techno, Pop, Jazz,...
Improvisateur hors pair, il peut aussi bien régaler un public de festival que performer pour quelque vernissage d'œuvres artistiques quelles qu'elles soient.
