afrobeat | electronic | afrofuturism | ethnography feild recording | live percussionBased in Kampala, Aresnal Mikebe (Nyege Nyege) are a groundbreaking Ugandan ensemble who playfully dance around the fringes of of acoustic and electronic music. Arsenal was founded by Jonathan Uliel Saldanha (HHY) and is comprised of percussionists Ssentongo Moses, Dratele Epiphany and Luyambi Vincent de Paul. The combined rhythmic density, hypnotic grooves and infectious voices are coaxed into a sonic discharge directed at the body.
"Arsenal Mikebe’s “Omuzimu” is an absolute adrenaline rush of polyrhythmic percussion that borders a little on anxiety-inducing. A multi-layered mix of bass kicks, cymbal clicks, and rim shots, the track leaves little room for anything other than the crests of a burbly synth that arrive in perfectly timed waves from what’s apparently a custom-built, reverse-engineered 808." - The Fader
