There’s a feeling of counter-culture that’s growing amongst a hodgepodge of artists artists who are pairing rough and ready drums rhythms with organic sampled melodies and native vocal chants. It’s evident that the contrast of production styles is allowing the theme to be more even palatable, prompting a rush of new listeners to gravitate towards this style.
The raw production elements make it seem as if the records are produced in a West African studio in the 70’s with primitive recording equipment – but they aren’t! What you can hear is a track titled ‘Nomad Chat’ from Bristol based producer GotSome, which dropped on Toolroom in November of 2017. He confesses: “In the future I’m hoping to hear more of a percussion-driven sound and just keep everything tribal, you know? I’m really getting bored of straight rhythms and I want to be stimulated musically with the drums.” GotSome, as one of many recent artists that have supplied us with tribal beats, has instrumentally gained momentum since the re-birth of the movement.
Last year, Merseyside-raised rising star Mele, released on Lobster Boy, DFTD and Eats Everything’s Edible imprint, with high-octane tribal sounds and beefed up 4×4 beats, characterised by the house music that is now synonymous in his DJ sets. His track ‘Ambience’ has bellowed in admiration and is just one of the countless records to encompass the percussion heavy, tribal tech sound that credits him as a key player in the rise of the genre.
