DJ ZNOBIA
Inventor VOL 2
Boomkat Product Review:
Angolan kuduro and tarraxhina pioneer DJ Znobia is back under the spotlight for a keenly awaited follow-up to Nyege Nyege Tapes first survey, returning to the late ‘90s/early ‘00s Luandan coalface of what would become a global club phenomena.
Praised by all funky c*nts who encountered it, DJ Znobia’s ‘Inventor Vol.1’ hailed the Fruity Loop-ed roots of kuduro, meaning “hard ass” in Portuguese, in the musseke (shantytown) of Barrio Do Rangel in Angola’s capital city. ‘Vol.2’ now returns to the font of the hugely influential Afro-dance sound with 10 up and down-tempo zingers similarly crafted against the backdrop of Angola’s civil war (the same that would be later also referenced by Hyperdub’s Nazar) and inspire a whole wave of artists from the Angolan-Portuguese diaspora - Príncipe Discos DJs and producers such as Nídia, Dj Marfox, Dj Nervoso and Niggafox - in his wake.
Trust this 2nd batch offers equally rich pickings to the first, oscillating hips and limbs across 10 cuts that switch between the slower tarraxhina style and brisk trot of kuduro. They’re all self-evident templates for styles to come, and themselves derive from DJ Znobia’s late ‘90s diet of traditional Angolan music such as semba, kilapanga, and kazukuta, which he would effectively plug in and remodel with early DAW software. The results were, and still are, revolutionary: a battery of party energy that patently parallels the UK ‘nuum as much as innovative developments in Afro-Latin Central/South American dancehall/dembow, Dutch bubbling and Brazilian baile funk at the time.
Harvested from some 700 tracks on Znobia’s hard drive (with double that tally reputedly lost), ‘Inventor Vol.2’ can be rudely cleft in two, hustling propulsive kuduro aces between the fleet-heeled trot of ‘Assim ja nu ta da’, the bucking call-and-response of ‘Wo Adji Wo feat Os Bonitos’, and the outstanding robotic march of ‘Danca Da Mֶa Ju’, crazed flutes of ‘Ku duro ou Hundeground’, and barnyard antics of ‘Beat Cursor’. On the other hand, he tends to the sexier tarraxhina sound with equally sharp suss, found between the piquant plucks of ’Sofre’, and what sounds like early Ruff Sqwad or Geeneus melodies in ’Sombras’, plus the unsettling baby wails in ‘Choro do Corno’, and an unmissable piece of deep Afro blooz, replete with soul-grabbing croon, on ‘Monandengue’.
