about

NÜFRIKA is the new project by Rolv.K & Pekodjinn, we’re proud & happy to present their first release the SAHEL EP.

Born out of weekly meetings between two friends: Rolv.K & Pekodjinn. The SAHEL EP is is all about creating connections. A connection between them, a connection between the past, through traditional sounds and a more contemporary club aesthetic and finally a geographical connection between Rolv.K’s country of origin Sierra Leone (West Africa) and Tunisia (North Africa), where Pekodjinn’s roots lay, hence the name SAHEL EP.
Their debut EP started of as an organic and quite rough sounding jam. Voices and percussions were recorded on the go and the aim was to keep a natural feel. The result however is a smooth urban sound that sits well with the worldwide global club sound.

First up is Premier Sentier, an organic and raw sounding intro. Recorded percussion and raw voices brings us instantly in the right mood and vibe.

Tsévié was the production that started this EP, this marimba workout is one for the dancefloor. Tsévié is also the name of a city in the south of Togo. The name was given by members of the Adja-Ewe language group who fled the dictatorship of King Agokoli. Somehow this story of exile resonated with us and we decided to name this track Tsévié.

Fayudan means flood in Arabic. Although very dry for most of the year African countries encounter moments of heavy rain and floods, this track made us think of these particular moments.

Bye bye, viens has features by Voodoo and Gafacci. We’ve been influenced quite a bit by the music of Gafacci, during his passage in Geneva we decided to record some stuff in between some Fifa games. We later on decided to record some extra vocals by Voodoo, a member of the Ozadya collective to add the finishing touch. Carefully crafted on the thin line between baile and afro.

Onisan means big brother in Japanese and kind of symbolizes this project, like an EP by brothers. We mix japanese sound with an afro décalé rhythm, thus proving there’s no limit to combining sounds from all over the world.

We end our particularly danceable trip with this slightly more relaxed track Aube Urbaine. A smooth and delicate track that wakes the city after a sweaty night out.
