Cafe de la Jungle returns for Dans de la Desert, exploring further his fascination with shamanic practices in highly dynamic sound environments. Built around cavernous ambience and bass notes played with such the grace they paint a picture of a dance ritual so subtle, that it’s visceral and highly narrative at the same time. While the bass ballet of “Kus” opens the record in a beautiful and stoic way, its followup—the percussive “Chas”—takes on a playful approach as it’s juxtaposing throat singing samples with jaw harp-like one-off sounds bouncing off skittery beats. “Kysh” on the other hand puts Cafe's mastery of modular sculpting to such a high that you might change your opinion about Italians being the masters of dubby, ambient techno you can drown in.
