KOMBÉ - FOREIGN EXCHANGE (SORI003) 🪙🪙🪙
Presenting the second track of the upcoming release of @kombe__ on @somaticrituals 🪙🪙🪙
‘Taarab Fragments’ moves into moodier territory, welding DNA from Swahili coastal genre Taarab to subaquatic Detroit electro atmospherics - holding a delicate tension until a darbuka line bursts through and rewards your patience. 🪙🪙🪙

The fourth and final episode of our summer series comes from @somaticrituals co-founder @kombe__
The Basel based DJ and producer channels a deep synergy between polyrhythmic hypnosis and tactile sound design, shaping a sonic landscape that pulses with kinetic urgency.
His contribution to the series combines field recordings from Nairobi with sub-heavy mutations, traversing a blend of organic drum patterns that sit in the liminal spaces between bass, percussion, and club experimentation.
Full mix, interview & tracklist available via our substack
