Just incase you all thought that notoriously elusive hermit Nubian Mindz had forgotten what he is best at,the big man returns with a whopper on the ever impressive 'Delsin Records'
'Afrika Man' represents a marked change in direction for the typical west London maestro's funked up style,not that typical is a word usually associated with a Nubian Mindz track!
Here he goes all out to create that peaktime floor filler,toying with the listeners emotion with an undeniable groove that has you nodding your head and tapping your feet instantly.
Drawing flattering comparisons to early Aril Brikha is always impressive however, melodic comparisons aside, this release hints at a yearning to forge a new path in an already respectable career but with 'Techno Love' we know he refuses to let go of the past and pays homage to the Detroit masters who invented the genre almost 3 decades ago.
Miss out on this ep at your peril!

"a very dark and trippy EP...excellent music for listening to or for creating a certain kind of club atmosphere, although it may be tricky to find a way to work these in my sets but since they are timeless pieces I can keep them in my box and use them when the time and mood is right..excellent work." - Dan Curtin (Metamorphic)
