Nicolini—aka Nicola Reverda, a member of Devon Rexi, who released the much-talked-about album with John T. Gast on 〈Accidental Meetings〉—has released her sixth solo album via 〈South Of North〉. Featuring a lineup of guests whose identities remain unknown—Chimira, Sharp Shin, Cheba Tmax, and Toff Youth—this is a collection of mutant rhythms that blends Memphis rap, pitch-shifted vocal chops, and distorted steppers with street music from around the world.
Track List

A new release from Nicolini—a member of the Afro-psychedelic band The Mauskovic Dance Band, which has released music on labels such as 〈Soundway〉 and 〈Bongo Joe〉, and who performs under the solo moniker Nicola Reverda—one of the artists shaping the sound of the 〈South Of North〉 label, whose recent Japan tour is still fresh in our memories! A mutated club sound with a strange, border-crossing sensibility, born from the collision of Dominican dembow, Cairo’s Maharaganaat, and Tanzanian singeli. It unfolds a hybrid rave space where Arabic Auto-Tune, Memphis rap, and roughly chopped samples intermingle. A delightful masterpiece that exudes a playful yet precarious charm, as if you were rapidly scanning through pirate radio stations. (Original Japanese text by Adachi)
