Drum Drivers is the essence of the artistic complicity between two Beatmakers, Linkrust and Slone. Both members of the collective French-speaking "Tour De Manège" they follow each other from a distance until the day when at a virtual crossroads the two associates meet for a musical road trip towards California. This duo of talented beatmakers takes us to the crossroads of their influences through encounters during their journey. 12 tracks mostly punctuated by drums with a demonic groove. 12 stopovers tinged with Jazz, Blues, sprinkled with Folk and Psych Rock. Adding vocals with Japanese and Portuguese accents, a few scratches and some trumpet solos. You will then obtain an album which can be listened to as one watches a film, from beginning to end, driven by dynamic drums, a bass with funky flavor, on atmospheres that are both chill and contemplative.
This defintely isn't the first release from either of the two producers. Coming off the back of some remarkable collaborations with US, English and French artists. Awon, Tiff the Gift, K21, Yoshi da original, or even Akhenaton and Napoléon da Legend on Aneeway Jones' "Sfumato" project for Linkrust. Kohndo, Audessey, Rita J, Racecar, Melodiq, Chima Anya for Slone. The "Drum Drivers project" will be available in two volumes...
