DJ FINALE – Pitschu Debou (feat. DeBoul & Le Meilleur)

Album Pre-order: Kinshasa’s DJ Finale ( a key member of Fulu Mziki)  smelts soukous, trap and Afrobeats with flexibly jazzy electronics in a uniquely expressive bounty. Stepping on from his role in Fulu Miziki (Kinshasa’s Afrofuturist band)  DJ Finale speaks to the range of contemporary sounds from the DRC’s capital city with a genre-oblivious swagger on ‘Mille Morceau’. While the rhythms of soukous - a rumba-inspired mid import to West and Central Africa - underline the session, they refract into myriad lines of inquiry far beyond the DRC’s borders, with results that at times recall a sped-up Villalobos, or at others distinctly recall Nkisi’s black secret technology, or echo the energies of singeli from Tanzania, but also also make crucial room for much sweeter downbeat treats.
