Anderson Chimutu is a first generation Malawian American who resides in the post-industrial town of South Bend, Indiana. Growing up near Chicago and Detroit, Chimutu was exposed to many legends of the local music scene. This influenced him to get involved with various progressive rock groups and instrumental bands. Now he focuses on solo productions, which integrate the use of granular processors. This new approach, coupled with the desire to represent his African heritage, has given birth to Fumbata. Echoes of the music he heard while still a child, such as conga and reggae, have become intertwined with tech/house under this pseudonym. His first offering as Fumbata came in the form of 2020's "Decoherence", released on the Hungarian label Exiles. He follows that up with "Equipoise", released on UK label Hard Return in 2021. Now he brings us "Actuation". The sonic qualities found within can be described as minimalist and obscure, yet very rhythmic. It's as if a machine has re-programmed itself, using onboard interface sounds, to make cryptic dance tracks. Chimutu wants to challenge the narrative surrounding African influenced music, and does so by creating what comes naturally to him. Putting forth an extension toward the future, while being cognizant of the history that has brought him to this point.

Fumbata - Actuation

Navigating notions of the age-old human obsession with death, Canadian Rifles’ latest venture explores this flirtation across a duo of synth-forward drone compositions. Dwelling on the poetic ideal of collective action as a glass monument over death. "Lessons On Shells" is a work of deep and bold duality, death and glaring beauty inseparably entwined, like blood on snow.
