Long before the rise in interest in African music, British electronica producer Bob Holyroyd was making tracks rich in traditional instrumentation. African Drug is, undoubtedly, the most famous of these. Originally released as a single in 1994, this intensely melodious, Steve Reich-esque underground cult classic has been remixed numerous times over the years.
The A-side contains a freshly mixed and re-mastered version of Holroyd's brilliant original – which brilliantly increases in intensity with the addition of tribal drums two thirds of the way through – with a more percussive, pleasingly hallucinogenic Clausell remix on the flip.
