The past few years have witnessed a raft of electronic producers exploring non-Western - particularly African - forms. <\/p>\n
Think LV's 'Sebenza' project, or Scratch DVA's espousal of South African kwaito. Alongside this file Auntie Flo's stunning afro-futurism or 2562's experimental guise A Made Up Sound. <\/p>\n
Now James Holden and Floating Points are set to go straight to the source. The pair have been invited to collaborate with Moroccan musicians as part of a project organised by the Dar Al-Ma'Mn centre for artistic residencies. <\/p>\n
Running between March 24th and 31st, the project represents part of the closing week of the fifth Marrakech Biennale. <\/p>\n
In all, James Holden, Floating Points, Biosphere and Vessel will work with several Moroccan musicians drawing on the Gnawa discipline. <\/p>\n
As yet, an official release has not been confirmed although Boiler Room will broadcast two sets drawing on the project (March 28th - 29th). <\/p>\n
