Track List
Words from the label:
“Kwahu” is an ode to Blay’s Ghanaian/Liberian heritage. Taking inspiration from highlife and afro-jazz, Kwahu tells his musical interpretation of the myths of the Kwahu Mountains featuring the excellent sax by Mart Boumans.
The extended mix translates the original version into a percussion-heavy call to the dancefloor with wading breaks and undeniable energy.
Flipping over to the B-side, we start off with the title track “Spiritual Emersion”. This deep cut starts off with lush jazzy chords layered on top of a solid four-to-the-floor groove. It ventures off into a dreamy calypso-esque rhythm with an enticing synth lead and swinging percussion.
Closing the EP is a tongue-in-cheek banger suited for some of that sought after euphoria. “Out Of The Darkness” deceives you by its modest minimal introduction, but soon after it hits you on the head with energetic synths. It grabs you with an infectious melody, vocal chops and clever production tricks to guide you through the peaks and valleys of the track.

ガーナ/リベリアの伝統への頌歌である。ハイライフとアフロ・ジャズからインスピレーションを得ているBlayの4トラックEP。「Kwahu」は、ガーナ東部のクワフ山脈の神話に基づいた曲だそうです。オリジナルとextendedの2バージョン。B1はタイトル曲の「Spiritual Emersion」で、パーカッション、魅惑のシンセリード、アフロ・ディープハウス、素晴らしいl曲。ラストは、パーカッションの導入部から打つうちをベースにしたポリリズム、エモーショナルなヴォーカルへと展開していきます。 (サイトウ)
