Particularly printed by their west indies roots, the two conceptors of this project bring you all the way back to Africa, linking the period of slavery and its traditional drummy music, to the current house music. Play, is a song dedicated to all the games life plays. Among the soulful jazzy voice, youll be deeply inspirated by the creol drum ( gwo ka). Bor dlan me, meaning sea coast, over its groovy aspect is more like an evocation, a long trip from Gorees Pear to North America, crossing traditional gwo ka beats, soulblues inspiration and traditional creol lyrics. On this three titles vynil, youll hear the I:Cube remix of Bor dlan me . Revisiting the coast to coast influences of the west indies producers, he adds his own fat house beat imprint.....................................................

" Play "on VERSATILE RECORDS - KEMIT SOURCES - Drums are the sources of all modern rythmics since the great deportation of the African man to the Caribbean and America. The creole roots of Cris and Jayhem (from Kojak) have left marks that have led them to weave through their Kemit Sources project a bond with that mythical origin. The creole culture is by its very nature a culture of racial blending. In the field of electronic music, "KS" sets out to provide the missing link between Europe and the States, as were the west indies whose cultural expression has been eclipsed by History.TOLISTENANDPLAYWITHYOURSOUL.........................
