Review

The brainchild of bassist Yossi Fine, who's worked with Gil Evans, Lou Reed, and Naughty by Nature, among others, Ex-Centric Sound System is a band that mixes authentic African sounds with dub, techno, and hip-hop. While they work in the same general area as Transglobal Underground, Afro Celt Sound System, and similar bands, it's the density of their sound that sets them apart. Instead of songs, they use real instruments, samples, hip-hop beats, and studio manipulation to create soundscapes that draw listeners in and take them on a journey. It's especially effective on the epic "Kokobi," which incorporates an Ethiopian church choir, Ugandan guitar, and Arab percussion--a veritable pan-African kitchen sink--to make its point. There's adventure in the music, which always remains dance-floor-friendly and heavy on the bass, and the flights of consciousness characterize dub old and new. A triumph of the collective imagination. --Chris Nickson The best African funk & dub.

Ex-centric Sound System collects African music, fronted with heavy bass and drums, while the rest of the instruments are African, and are performed by native West African band members. This music represents sounds and music hundreds and thousands of years old. These songs blend authentic tribal chants from all over the continent, with a dub/funky bass line and production that creates and atmospheric and exciting result. This music appeals to all demographics and crosses formats and markets.
