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.
