Following on from the first edition released earlier this year, Les Disques Bongo Joe announce Ayiti Kongo Dub 2 by Chouk Bwa & The Ångströmers. Following on from 2020's acclaimed album Vodou Ale, Chouk Bwa turn up the heat for this exhilarating trip into their bush of ghosts by introducing a new stripped-down line-up to fire up the dancefloor, based exclusively on the drums and rhythms of the Haitian kongo rite and deep electronic dub expansions by their trusted Belgian counterparts, The Ångströmers. As Afro-Caribbean polyrhythms meet bass-weight dub electronics, the two-part EP has documented the group experimenting with a stripped back form which focuses on the dimension of trance. Opening with a ceremonial chant and designed to induce dancefloor delirium, the first track taken from the EP is the raw, high-octane, primordial techno of "Zemedo".
