Roots du monde # 15 – Highlife Special (2025-10-28)

Second single out from the coming “Teriya” album by the new power duo of Sidiki Camara and Tore Gjedrem is the driving, afro acid house number “Yankaou”. Combing Sidiki’s insane skills on the djembe, Malian chants and three layers of acid lines into a peak time, dance floor monster. 

Djembe Tekno is a new project from Tore Gjedrem (Ost&Kjex / Sex Judas) and Malian percussionist and musician extraordinaire, Sidiki Camara. Djembe Tekno will release their debut album “Teriya” on Snick Snack Music October 31, and it’s a highly danceable and funky fusion of West African rhythms and contemporary club sounds. 

Sidiki Camara’s main instrument djembe runs like a river thru the album, so does his singing in his Malian native tongue with chants and blessings driving the music forward. The duo uses traditional instruments like balafon, ngoni and talking drums, cooking up a brew combining inspiration from UK Bass music, Batida, House, Techno and Breaks with African music traditions rooted in Mali.

Episode #127 drifts between worlds: digital and organic, solitude and celebration, the quiet groove & feel of deep bass. Frequencies must bend and breathe; so do we — a dialogue between now and what came before.

HopsainRadio™ Ep. 127 || Homecoming Edition

120BPM is the second single from Helene Rickhard's album "Unpredictable Express" 

Album due on Snick Snack Music November 14. 

We are very excited to present the second single from Helene Rickhard’s upcoming debut album «Unpredictable Express” on Snick Snack Music, which is a little taster in form of the deep sea, techno-disco journey 120 BPM. Backed by a Sex Judas feat. Ricky remix which enhances the originals most funky parts, into a deadly nudisco bomb with the bands very own Malian percussionist, Sidiki Camara on lead vocals. 

Helene is a hidden gem in the Norwegian electronic music underground. Unknown to the outside world, but a beloved dj and producer here back home. Known for her eclectic dj-sets, adventurous taste and her ear watering record collection. She’s living a quiet life in the coastal town of Arendal with her cats, records and her analog synths, but now she’s stepping out as a producer and is releasing no less than two albums on Snick Snack this fall and winter. Helenes sound is an ingenious mix of psychedelic disco, 80’s wave music, techno, krautrock, ambient and it truly operates in a world of its own. This is astral music for astral people! Psychedelic to the core, but also warm, adventurous and highly original. To be honest we have not heard such a great talent in years here up north and we are super excited to start this long journey!

À l'air livre avec Arno Bertina (2013)

We follow the rise of civilization and of powerful empires in West Africa before the slave tade, based upon iron-working and the traffic in gold and salt across the Sahara, followed by the spread of wealth and power southward, towards the gold fields and the tropical forests, and finally the reverberating impacts of the arrival of Portuguese traders on the coast, which paved the way for the rise of the Atlantic slave trade.
