Audio: Four Tet's Traditional African Samplings
Stream Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet's traditional African music sampling single.
<p>London producer <strong>Kieran Hebden</strong> aka <strong><a href="https://soundcloud.com/four-tet" target="_blank">Four Tet</a></strong> just dropped a new electronic composition that builds substantially on several samples and loops of traditional African vocals (whose exact origins we're drastically trying to figure out atm). KH mixes the vocals in with an array of wooden and percussive instruments to create a cycling rhythm in the cheekily-titled “The Track I’ve Been Playing That People Keep Asking About and That Joy Used in His RA Mix and Daphni Played on Boiler Room.” Speaking of <strong>Daphni</strong> (better known as <strong>Caribou</strong>'s Dan Snaith), we've spotted him sampling <a href="http://www.okayafrica.com/2012/10/08/daphnis-african-samples/" target="_blank">70s African vinyls</a> recently as well. Do we see a trend forming?</p><p><div class="preroll-video"></div><ora-player></ora-player></p><p><iframe frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F78269594" width="100%"></iframe></p>
