Making his debut on Crosstown Rebels, AEON founder Alex Niggemann takes us on a sonic exploration of the African continent for his next musical venture. Ever keen to push the boundaries of sound, ​Alex Niggemann ​​explains that he draws inspiration from the different cultures he experiences on his travels. He says: ​“My music will always be like a mixed candy box. I like different styles and get bored by always doing the same thing. ​Africa was always a very inspiring continent for me and I’m happy this release found a great home with Crosstown Rebels.”

Allow yourself to melt into the hypnotic rhythm of ​’Zoulou’. ​Ambient sounds are textured with percussion that lures you in. Tribal chants and explosive drums seek add drama as the abundance of intricate layers pull you along for the journey. ​’Bwana’ ​is more progressive than its predecessor with a soft drumbeat underpinning it. It utilises that same tribal vocal stab contrasting against harder synths. You can listen to the full premiere of ‘Bwana’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy !

Release date : January 18th, 2018. Buy Here
