Ambu Bambu’s productions live in the space between connection and dislocation, fusing bass with breakbeats, intensity and fierceness with lightness and release. This EP opens with ‘Cita’ a dancehall-infused tearjerker full of melancholia. When the sun starts to set and you haven’t accomplished what you set out to do at the beginning of the day, you decide to try and cheer yourself up by hitting the club. You’re still sad, but the music is a comforting friend. The lead single ‘Laugh It Off’ hides inner unrest behind a cool, unshaken surface. And lastly, the title track ‘Emotion Control’ closes this beautiful release with a push-and-pull between rational calculation and raw release, mapping the moment the heart overrules the head.

(☆_☆)(☆_☆)(☆_☆)
Haha! ‘Laugh It Off’, at least that’s what Ambu Bambu teaches us as they ignite the release of a first single to a second EP on Intercept. Deep bass synths get pierced by squelchy sound design, disorientating vocal hits and sharp breakbeats. A tortoise has a shell to fend off predators, and a cactus has its spines. When people feel emotionally endangered, a way to protect themselves is to remain unfazed, even if only pretending. This track illustrates an outward air of nonchalance combined with inner turmoil.

I’ll be joined by Ambu Bambu, Kaap, and David Lee, who will also play later that night during Rob Manga’s As The World Turns party.
We start at 20:00.

crisis averted - or not so much
must all good things come to an end?
stepping outside the binary of chapters, open or closed
to observing the perpetual movement of revolving doors
