Don Kamares, a new sonic perspective by veteran producer Marc Tilley is fuelled by the present times and the rhythms of life. As Tilley explains, Don Kamares is “the desire to want to interpret and comment on what we’re experiencing. The sonics are an attempt to reflect that energy, whether it’s light or dark.” With the pandemic affording Tilley the space and time to explore new approaches to his production, Tilley forged new ground, and with ‘Legacy’, another chance collaboration with OVEOUS.
Delivering a fierce and urgent call for connecting with legacies past, present and future, a reflective OVEOUS contemplates “for me, the culture means everything. The community, the music, the dance. All of it. So ‘Legacy’ was inspired by the culture and wanting to praise it for giving so many of us a space to release.”
This afro-tech house romp of a banger can only find a synergistic home on Yoruba Records. It’s the sound that is part of this label’s legacy. Very few can do it. Even less can do it well. Don Kamares has definitely breathed in the label’s ethos; the pulsating, gut-punching rhythms, the synth stabs, the deepness, it’s all there.
When these two link up, it’s a guaranteed heat rock. This is the energy that we need for 2022, deeply rooted in our legacies so we can blast off into the future.
