Bongoville

After releasing an album in 2017 on the late Lyon-based label S.K. Records, and a tape on Lost Dogs entertainment, the duo OD Bongo — aka édouard Ribouillault and Amédée de Murcia — have teamed up with Carton Records, Zamzamrec, Prix Libre Records, and Basalte to present Bongoville, the latest episode in their musical saga.

For nearly ten years, OD Bongo has been performing across Europe, often late into the night, carrying drum machines, samplers, and synths. the duo's raw setup is designed for instinctive interaction, allowing them to shape their tones and mutant beats.

Bongoville captures this energy in a story tinged with hazy techno, rusty dub and industrial trap, with juke & gqom influences. the rhythms bounce, accelerate, disintegrate, creak and eventually explode in a cloud of laughing gas.

In this frantic stop-motion race, chaos comes alive with heavy reverb: a possessed rollercoaster tracing saturated colours and playful distortions, where the loop prevails, where the delays stretch and where the bass saturates.
