Simon Popp and Sebastian Wolfgruber, aka Fazer Drums, team up with Tunisian producer Azu Tiwaline for the second part of their hybrid Sound Measures series. On the A side, the Munich-based duo's pure and raw drumming gets more melodic than on the first edition. With interwoven, polyrhythmic grooves they explore the concept of counterpoint, drawing inspiration from gamelan, Afro-Cuban, and swing. That's material made in heaven for Azu Tiwaline, who made sizeable waves this year with her Magnetic Service EP on Bristol's Livity Sound Recordings. In her rework, she kept the focus on the drums, boiling down and rearranging the different parts into a seven-minute beast of a tune. Layers of her signature dubbed-out electronics add to the mystic aura, while maintaining the dynamics and musicality of the recordings.
