Mark Ernestus' Ndagga Rhythm Force + O$vmv$m

Basic Channel's dub techno pioneer meets some of Senegal's greatest sabar musicians for a deep, percussive and high-energy live performance - quite possibly one of the best live bands we've seen play at the venue!
Their latest record "Khadim" is a stunning reconfiguration of the Ndagga Rhythm Force sound, a style which is more dubwise; prickling with effects and spaciousness, with ambient sounds of Dakar street-life. The music throughout is taut, grooving, complex, like before; but more volatile, intuitive and reaching, with turbulent emotional & spiritual expressivity.
"One of the most impressive African bands on the contemporary gig circuit, throwing down live sets known to effortlessly go over 2 hours and propel so many legs and minds to new shapes and feels - trust they slay every time and should be top of all must-see lists." - Boomkat
O$VMV$M weave otherworldly sound collages from samples throughout the eras, shot with a smoky dubwise & cinematic sensibility. Coming together through the loose knit radio sessions of Young Echo collective around the early 2010s - their sound evolved from a shared love of grime, soul, rap, b-movies, horror films and dancehall.
They have worked extensively with vocalists, producing 2 full length albums for Manonmars, an album with Franco Franco, 2 singles with Rider Shafique, original songs and remixes with Birthmark, Tricky, Jamakabi, BLYY and Bogues plus their most recent mixtape Shroud of Fear 2.
