人気DJ/プロデューサーのニコデマスが仕掛ける次なるプロジェクトはアフリカ! チャド、カメルーン、トーゴなどなどアフリカ大陸の多彩で強烈なダンスミュージックをゲットー・ベース、シンセ・ウェーヴ、アフロ・ハウスへと仕立て上げた痛烈な一枚!2018年、WONDERWHEEL を主宰する天才プロデューサーのニコデマスは、中部アフリカに位置するチャド共和国の首都ンジャメナに赴き、チャドだけでなくカメルーン、トーゴやコンゴの知られざる才能あふれる音楽家達と親交を深める。そこで出会った彼らの豊潤かつ多様な音楽に驚くも、音楽的なガイドもなく、アクセスするには高い壁があることに気づいたのが本作のスタートであった。彼らとの親密なコラボレーションを行いながらも、ある種のテクノロジーとプロデューサーとしての知見を注ぎ込み、彼らの音楽への橋をかけるべく作られたのが本作 『DESERT TO DOUALA』 である。地域の羊飼いにより歌われる労働歌からチャドの南部で使用されるバラフォンとタムタムによるヒプノティックなアンサンブル、スークースやルンバ・コンゴレースに影響を受けたカメルーンの結婚式で用いられる音楽など、ニコデマスが出会った豊かな多様性を持つ音楽をベースにしつつも、シカゴのゲットー・ベース・ミュージックの顔負けの高速キック、デザートブルースを彷彿とさせるストリングとニコデマス自身の現代的な音作りと伝統への敬意が合わさったベースミュージックにいやおうなしに下っ腹をえぐられる。タイトルにある通り、チャドから大西洋への玄関にしてカメルーンのギニア湾最大の港湾都市ドゥアラまで。長い砂漠道を乗り切るために欠かせない、めくるめく狂乱と快楽の宴。バラエティ豊かな音楽的エッセンスはそのままに、現代のクラブでも機能するダンスミュージックへと仕立て上げた、新世代アフロ・ミュージックの歴史的傑作ともいえる作品の誕生である。Pulo NDJ "Desert to Douala" An exploration of traditional Chadian music with an electronic twist...Chad is in many ways a blind spot on the map of today's global musical conversation. Overlooked, misunderstood and misrepresented, outside observers rarely concede the country an autonomous voice over its past, present and future. N’Djamena, the dusty capital of Chad with its well-kept stories of boundary-breaking musical collaborations and thirst for experimentation is a city that reflects the country's diversity: the arid North, bordering the Sahara, where nomadic tribes revere the endless desert with their handcrafted instruments. The lush tropical South, where the frenetic drumming of local initiation ceremonies blends with sounds of neighboring Congo and Cameroon. Right in the middle: N'Djamena, a forgotten melting pot of cultures and peoples bursting with unrecorded stories of life at the margins of the world's attention.Tackling this view is precisely one of the aims of Pulo NDJ. In May 2018, Nickodemus accepted an invitation from Hape Collective to travel to N'Djamena to teach a group of young adults DJ'ing and electronic music production, which resulted in the encounter between and a group of talented artists from Cameroon, Chad, Congo and Togo. After a weeklong series of listening to original songs & demos, the recordings continued in a pop-up studio created by DJ Buosis & Nickodemus which culimated in Desert To Douala, an  album featuring 11 songs, all originally written and recorded in N’Djamena.The project found its inspiration in the city's un-narrated diversity and seeks to explore the possibilities offered by technology to demonstrate how the country’s rich heritage connects with existing musical conversations. It strives to create bridges in a world of walls. It has been a yearlong creative process that built friendships and fostered understanding among people united by a passion for music and creation.THE SONGSPulo NDJ's first album contains hopeful and life-affirming songs documenting the human experience in this overlooked corner of the world:  “Dabadji Am Alcorama” and “Cera Cera” are two songs built around the sound of the garaya, a traditional string instrument used by the shepherds of the region on their crossings of the desert.  “Mbaoundaye” and “Bazaka are reminiscent of Southern Chad’s traditional ceremonies with their hypnotic balafon and tam-tam patterns and ancestral chants.  “Sanga” finds its origins in rhythms used in Cameroonian wedding parties and blending it with Soukuss and Congolese rumba, while “Taroum” brings a West African afrobeat flavor to the game.  “Kewolea” takes its inspiration from Togo, a marvelous song about man’s respect for its own work. While   “Un Jour”, an uplifting rap-song (in French) based on a garaya loop & features MC FTP (Funk the People) discussing issues of class & skin color felt in Chad & around the World.  “Clandoman”, a song of praise to the ubiquitous moto-taxi drivers, the real kings of the roads of the Sahel. Songs written by the entire collective. Recorded & mixed by Dj Buosis & Nickodemus
