On this song, the author proposes a personal rereading of the Durban style. The breathing samples and the mounting of characteristic drums are precisely manipulated and re-orchestrated by the Japanese producer. Rather dark in its original version, the Gqom of KΣITO is embellished with layers that give the body of the piece an implacable progressiveness. Maintaining a certain pressure and a continuous rise for more than 5 minutes, Bougainvillea is easily positioned as a powerful track ready to devastate any dance floor.
Menacing club music—complete with cawing crow samples—from a Japanese producer currently making waves with his tough, hybridized dance sounds. (It’s from his new split EP with KΣITO.)
