Taking influence from the 90s IDM scene that revolved around labels such as Warp, Rephlex and Planet Mu, Cardiff producer Pope John Paul Van Damme creates a visceral collage of techno, breakcore and acid - a sonic menagerie that could make even the most hardened raver feel like they're tripping on their own synapses.

His music has been praised for its abstract and experimental nature, yet, in the midst of the chaos, there's beauty to be found. Listening to his latest album, ‘How Am I Not Myself?’, released on 12” vinyl via Last Riot Records, is like peering into a kaleidoscope on LSD. His beats lurch and stutter, while melodies swirl like dervishes in a sandstorm. With tracks like ‘Say No to Yes’ and ‘An Overture to Illumination’, the Welsh wizard crafts a sound that is simultaneously hypnotic and unsettling, like a rave in a haunted cathedral.

**“Ancestral Polyrhythms”** is a sonic journey into the roots of the African continent, where the human voice and the drum converse in an ancestral language. Each track celebrates the tradition of **African folkloric chants**, passed down through generations, accompanied by intricate **drum polyrhythms** that evoke rituals, celebrations, and community ceremonies.

Choruses and voices summon collective memory, while the drums — djembes, dununs, and tribal percussion — interweave cross-patterns that create a hypnotic and immersive experience. The result is a mosaic of energy and spirituality that bridges the ritual with the contemporary, inviting listeners to lose themselves in the eternal pulse of African rhythm.

This album not only honors folkloric roots but also offers a universal experience: a celebration of rhythm as a vital force, capable of uniting cultures and transcending borders.

*“Polirritmias Ancestrales”** es un viaje sonoro a las raíces del continente africano, donde la voz humana y el tambor dialogan en un lenguaje ancestral. Cada pieza celebra la tradición de los **cantos folklóricos africanos**, transmitidos de generación en generación, acompañados por complejas **polirritmias de tambores** que evocan rituales, celebraciones y ceremonias comunitarias.

Los coros y voces invocan la memoria colectiva, mientras los tambores —djembés, dununs y percusiones tribales— entrelazan patrones cruzados que crean una experiencia hipnótica y envolvente. El resultado es un mosaico de energía y espiritualidad que conecta lo ritual con lo contemporáneo, invitando al oyente a perderse en el pulso eterno del ritmo africano.

Este álbum no solo honra las raíces folklóricas, sino que también ofrece una experiencia universal: una celebración del ritmo como fuerza vital, capaz de unir culturas y trascender fronteras.
