about

Following on from a flurry of well received releases, XVI welcome a new face to their tight knit crew of artists. Enter London based Peter Bailey (AKA Delonte Rivers).

Having previously released music under his DJ Fortay moniker, his new alias Delonte Rivers, see's Bailey drawing on a wider array of influences, manifesting his desire for all the amazing sounds this planet and its people has to offer.

The EP's title track is a hypnotic and atmospheric cut, plunging the listener in a twilight world as a meandering saxophone calls out through a haze of sliding shadowy textures, of as a deep rhythms section pulses through the darkness. Maakye takes a more spiritual downtempo and holistic approach. Heavily percussive and full of earth tones, a haunting vocal sample echoes amidst a sea of tranquillity. 'Fela's House Party' (the EP's closer) weaves together a sense of 70's Psychedelia and a rolling bassline, immediately launching into undeniably addictive groove, before being joined by a triumphant Afro-beat fanfare. Perfect for adding inciting some dancefloor movement.
