MKRNI may have been a bit tongue and cheek when they labeled their track “Diamanda” on their Soundcloud page as “Afrohouse”, (“spacesynth” seems a bit closer to the mark), but I couldn't help thinking of Fela Kuti sneaking in vocals halfway through a ten minute song when they pulled a similar trick.
These tracks have been floating for about a month but right about now is when east coasters should prepare for a ten day invasion by the chill as fuck vibe managers from Santiago, Chile.
MKRNI, “Diamanda”
MKRNI, “Humedad”
