Description

Some albums act as tickets to travel through time and space, ones where you hear history and venture to worlds familiar, yet undeniably foreign and exciting. RBGxDD , the inaugural release for indie-label Uno Loop Records, is one of these albums. The LP is the beginning of a collaboration between two virtuosos you’ll want to keep an ear on: producer Abderraouf Grissa (Pink Siifu, DJ Abstract Abder on Radio alHara) and drummer producer Dan Drohan (Nick Hakim , Olden Yolk, CARRTOONS, Andrew VanWyngarden of MGMT). Think CAN, Makaya McCraven, Sun Ra, or Madlib , and you’ll scratch the surface of what this LP has to offer, what it reminds you of, what it s inspired by. Grissa says of its creation, what began as a clear cut, beat-album featuring blistering acoustic drums evolved into a fluid, sonic journey that throws time-signature and structure to the wind. It s originality pushes beyond the genre of experimental hip-hop and jazz, a project you can dance or chill to. Recorded throughout 2019 and refined during COVID, RBGxDD simply slaps; Grissa and Drohan have arranged an album that feels freeing, one that expands the notion of how live instrumentation and sampling can continually innovate in unexpectedly catchy ways. – Uno Loop
