Deep West African beats go electronik! Yaw Amponsah and Greg Campbell will play the lead parts for deep West African beats from the Asante (Ashanti) region of Ghana with the traditional support drumming parts played as electronic beats by James Whetzel on laptop. Rhythms will include the classical Kete and Fantomfrom rhythms of the Asante royal court. Yaw and Greg will play the lead parts live on traditional Asante drums. Mixing these kinds of deep rooted classical African beats with electronic music is unprecedented.

Starting his DJ career when it was still called Goa, Crispy knows how to weave an irresistible set that's fun, moving and fresh. With nearly 12 years behind the decks, he expertly covers the gamut from deep ambient and ethereal downtempo, to booty-shaking tribal progressive, psychoactive breaks, and blissful psytrance. To keep things interesting, some well-crafted genre blending can usually be expected. Whatever he plays, you can be sure that it will be groovy and smoooooove.
