MR024 – Doc Daneeka – Murdah Strings
Fresh from his epic long player collaboration with Benjamin Damage, Doc Daneeka rolls in with two tough and red-blooded rhythms for Kicks & Snares. This is the Doc back to his rugged and insistent best, with the emphasis on heavy bass and tribal percussion intertwining together in raw harmony.

There’s an electro feel to the percussion which whilst owing to the past, sounds fresh as anything. [...]
