On ‘Bambusbeats’ Gabriel Ananda presents us a reverse side of his extraordinary skills. Away from his well known melodic tracks now his music dips into the artificiality and abstractness of electronic sound scapes, nevertheless it is emotional and in the flesh. Acoustic African-based drum and percussion elements are the basic essentials of the album theme and leave the tracks sound more newer. Gabriel Ananda puts his focus on rhythm and acoustic drums wich now carry his emotions across the music and look straight to the dancefloor. Above all Gabriel Ananda often switches between two themes inside of one track wich attracts attention as a characteristic feature of the album.This, what is coming out of the boxes fresh and untouched, is pure groove and definitive a tribute to detroitish values - the pairing of great emotional gestures and the uninevitable might of the dance floor.The opener ‘Offbeat’ is the showcase track of the album and comes along in a light-hearted and lively mood and is reminiscent of a summerlike walkaway in the greenwood.‘Bambus’ is a reduced tune with a housy approach and subtle diversification, well touched with a pinch of monotony that lets oneself lose on the dancefloor.‘Egge’ is a more aggressive post-Detroit track driven by a lush bassline and pricking synthie sounds wich seem to drill themselves into the listeners brain. In some way this groovy shaking tune sounds a little bit wishy-washy.‘Sweet Decay’ is the positive primetime tune. The opening comes along in a very easy-going mood, builds itself up, suddenly moves into gear by screeching and schizophrenic synthies, then drops into a break and finally accelerates and grooves like hell. Hands up!The album soul and psyche is the track ‘Trommelstunde’. An outstanding production that forceful only deals with a bassdrum, a hi-hat, a snare and a bassline. This is straight Detroit driven by acoustic drums.
