More Time Records return with more gold once again as they take us to Nigeria for their first release of 2022. Lagos to be precise; home to one of the city’s most exciting talents Sensei Lo.
While this is officially her debut EP, you may already be acquainted through the recent Boiler Room documentary Assurance, her cameo role on Moto Kiatu’s ‘Music Began In Africa’ album or her remix on Chike’s “Boo of The Booless” album. Either way, ‘Pisces Moon’ is a much more formal and comprehensive introduction to her spell-binding skills.
Three tracks deep, each one taking us deeper and deeper into the dance. ‘Don’t Let Go’ ushers us gently with timeless deep house aesthetics. All jazzy keys and sunset feels. Balearic in mind, Chicago in body, Lagosian in soul, it’s the perfect fusion of Amapiano and classic high-grade house music. ‘Synchronicity’ follows and takes us deeper into the night. A place where Afrobeat and tribal house shadow box playfully under an astral travelling spoken word and swooping cosmic synths.
Last but definitely not least, Sensei leaves us on a high with the forthright, late-night drum funk of ‘Vanacula’. Deep, dark and physical, it’s a transcendental tribal finale that leaves us wanting more. And trust us, there’s plenty more.
