Mo Kolours – EP1: Drum Talking.

Drum Talking is the distinct sound of a specific musical segment of a remote part of the world, recontextualized as dope beats. Mo Kolours worked the Sega music (no blue hedgehog) of his native Mauritius into funky beats worthy of the Beat Konducta. “8 Hours” in particular is disarmingly funky. Mo uses mostly handclaps and exotic, natural-sounding drums to avoid the synthetic feeling of garden variety beats. Mo further distinguishes himself by adding a layer of ghostly singing, which combined with the minimal drums, really distinguishes him from other artists. It beats the shit out of watching National Geographic.
