Sisso & Maiko
Singeli Ya Maajabu
Boomkat Product Review:
Wheww!!! Kampala’s Nyege Nyege Tapes tap back into Dar Es Salaam’s radical singeli sound with an extra nutty slew by its originator Sisso, fused with incendiary keyboardist Maiko to take in bits of cyberpunk sound design and a rattling chop-up of a new beat classique.
Thanks to NNT, the buckwild 200BPM ghetto sound of singeli has pinged hot on international radars since an unprecedented primer on the style emerged from the eponymous studio in 2017’s ‘Sounds of Sisso.’ A ruck of outstanding solo albums from the studio by Jay Mitta, Duke, and Sisso followed until the label’s crosshair moved elsewhere across Africa. It now returns five years later to showcase singeli’s unpredicted advances on the form, ranging from hypercolourful rave to exceptional bits of beat-less sci fi-cinematic sound arrangement like foley design for a Tanazanian cyberpunk flick, and thru an utterly bonkers cut-up of Belgian new beat snot anthem,’The Sound of C’ that nearly knocked us off our chair.
As played by everyone from Sarra Wild to Crystallmess and Tom Ravenscroft in contemporary EU clubs, radio and beyond, singeli has become a hot touchstone for anyone looking to rev sets into the red. We can practically guarantee that ‘Singeli ya Maajabu’ will be turning up in their sets, and those of anyone following the hardcore ‘nuum’s virulent Afrhizomatic roots and branches right now. The added energy of Maiko’s Yamaha electric keyboard and controller hooked to FL Studio ratchets Sisso’s productions to a whole new level here, bringing Maiko’s finger-muscle memory of eastern Tanzanian melodies to the furnace blast of Sisso’s hyper urban rhythms - frenetically tapped in on a laptop keyboard - for a frankly breathtaking new iteration of the sound.
Ye ye we just wet ourselves at the closing cut ‘Ganzi’, where Sisso x Maiko boost a snippet of Confetti’s lemo classic ‘The Sound of C’ to nearly twice the tempo (need to know the story of how that came about!), and likewise we’re freaking out over ‘Mikuza’, whose ravishing sound design comes on like Total Freedom x Parmegiani scoring a Nollywood cyberpunk film. Factor in Maiko’s screaming acidic discord on opener ‘Kivinje’, spiralling plums of Bollywood vox on ‘Mangwale’, sped-up nods to gqom in the bombast of ‘Rusha’, and heart-racing polychromatic madness of ’Shida’ and you’ve basically got a party in a box.
100% no brainer for the wildest party animaliculæ and anyone keeping track of new movements in dance music.
