Nandele Maguni - Plafonddeinst
A radio dial searching for rhythm, turned by a delicate hand and scrutinizing ear, listening for pure beats. The sounds crackle and burn, static tuning in with a purpose the source only knows. Finally a connection is made, satisfaction in establishing a frequency groove, joy in knowing there is a source and it is attainable. A slow motion dive into the world of Nandele Maguni. Distant sounds permeating the waters surface to meet you even before leaving the ground. Like walking to the edge of a forest, life within echoing out, adding to the mysteries calling from the canopied darkness. Rhythms beckon for exploration, providing flickering torch lit warmth to the source of sonic festivities.
Plafonddeinst reaches through the atmosphere, both time and distance dissolving before the tentacle of Nandele Maguni's consciousness. This composition spans nine long tracks but plays as one fantastic journey. Mystic drone and static parting for raw cadence, beats pulled from the aural continuum, some decades old and many still awaiting current time to arrive. Poetry and voice manifest like apparitions in a semi wakened state. Are they real or all dreams, their presence simultaneously comforting and perplexing. Grooved out sound surfacing again, almost as if it needs air and time to play above the underlying pressure. And Plafonddeinst is a heavy weight singularity, a core of thought energy so dense, we only hear fragments of the inner pulsing rotation. Nandele Maguni has cultivated his talents in Maputo, Mozambique. With foundations in hip hop, dubstep and beat sciences, Plafonddeinst transcends genre classifications to become the heart of an aural awareness that is seldom met with.
Released on Already Dead Tapes and Records just four weeks ago. Physical editions are in cassette form with an first run of one hundred. From a little research, Plafonddeinst looks like the first physical full length release for Nandele. Explore two earlier releases on Nandele's bandcamp page. Please do not miss out on Already Dead's Plafonddeinst edition. A truly special composition deserving all the time to listen. As mentioned above Nandele Maguni eclipses all classifications with Plafonddeinst, creating sonic art and raw beauty.
