Love In The Endz Announces New EP Featuring Obeka
Love In The Endz has excited fans this week with the announcement of its upcoming EP, showcasing the musical talents of Obeka. The ‘Temple Drum’ EP promises to take listeners on a journey through percussive frequencies, delving into a world of sound that goes beyond Obeka’s usual musical style. Drawing inspiration from his Caribbean and Pan-African roots, the EP features a unique blend of hand drums, voices, and metallic objects that create mesmerizing atmospheres.
Exploring New Musical Horizons
Featuring three original tracks and three remixes, the ‘Temple Drum’ EP offers a diverse range of sounds, including speed dembow, Guaracha, afro house, and afro techno. Renowned artists Kontronatura, BBY FANGZZZ, and DJ Doraemon contribute their own unique remixes, adding their personal touch to Obeka’s original work.
Pushing Boundaries with Sound
Obeka shares his creative process, stating, “When LITE first approached me, I had a few tracks in mind, but I felt they lacked imagination and identity. This challenge pushed me to explore new sounds and genres, particularly during my residency in Colombia. Discovering percussions and melodies from the Caribbean Coast inspired me to fuse these influences with my own musical style.”
The Significance of EP Artwork
The EP’s artwork holds a special meaning for Obeka, capturing the essence of the project. The artwork showcases the Bamako building in Mali, a towering structure that serves as a symbol of inspiration for Obeka’s music. The architectural beauty of the building, located on the banks of the Niger River, reflects the blend of cultures and influences present in Obeka’s sound.
