Originally released jointly by Comet Records and Early Sounds Recordings, this EP breathes new life into Allen’s percussive blueprints, layering analog synths, cosmic funk textures, and Mediterranean grooves over his hypnotic drum patterns. Nu Guinea translate Allen’s rhythmic genius into a futuristic dialogue, where Afrobeat pulses merge with disco, space-jazz, and Balearic atmospheres.
More than just reinterpretations, these tracks feel like a meeting across time—Allen’s timeless drumming colliding with Nu Guinea’s visionary approach to groove architecture. A celebratory and deeply soulful experiment that continues to light up both hi-fi sessions and adventurous dancefloors worldwide.
