KANKA

Influenced by UK and Jamaican dub, the kanka's sound is stepper (warrior style!) and his compositions based on a strong bass&drums section. Even if the reggae riddim often be heard, it sounds of today: tempos are particulary high for this kind of music, the heavy bass line combined to a dynamic drums style and electro soundz. His first album "Don't stop dub" has been released on Hammerbass Records in march 2005.
Acclaimed by all the actors of the international dub scene and played by respected sound systems, this album gave him the opportunity to make himself known from worlwide dub addicts.
As for the first album, Kanka is playing all instruments on his new opus also released in november 2006, by Hammerbass Records: "Alert".
Composed on 12 tracks, included 3 vocals of Brixton's famous Mc Brother Culture, "Alert" is one of the heavyest album released in the last years!!!
Electro soundz and roots dub riddims are still combined with the purpose of efficiency.
Created for Sound Systems parties, "Alert" will make the walls rattlle!!!
