Nzúmbi by Doble Redoble

released May 29, 2020

On their sophmore album “Borchi y Su Doble Redoble” evolves completely into just “Doble Redoble” - consolidating their search for the perfect beat into a new kind of music that moves seamlessly between acoustic sounds, transformed samples and avant garde electronica.

Doble Redoble is the live electronic music project by Borchi and Asaph Sánchez, two musicians from the global bass and jazz scenes from Mexico City that make club music for instrumental hip hop lovers.

Unlike their first album “Carnaval Callejero Himnos de Club”, which was focused on taking street carnival sounds into the clubs’ soundsystems, on “Nzúmbi” they escape from that concept to create a new synthesis of what new global electronic music could sound. The album is a tribute to a cosmopolitan array of global music clashing against alternative electronic sounds, focusing on turning club ready grooves into full songs that can go straight to the heart of the listener.

Throughout the tracklist Doble Redoble presents tracks like “One More Time” which is an homage to Fat Fat Freddy’s Drop electronic dub reggae, “Montblanc” and “Bonn” create a Shigeto meets Fela Kuti type of eclectic house, “Simon” sounds like Too Many Zooz meets Machinedrum and “Sube” is a LATAM hip hop approach on Swindle’s music. It is an album of electronic music that transmits the effervescent energy of Mexico City and Latin culture without using any of the go-to templates of world music for export.

The album is produced by Andrés Oddone, a well known name in the global music scene having produced and mixed albums for Chancha Vía Circuito, El Búho, Frikstailers. It includes collaborations by Taiwan MC, Boogat, Baja Frequencia and MV Charlot.
