Expression & Being: Cyclic Sun (2011), Africa Hitech

May 22, 2014 Ryo Ishii

Stumbled across this awesome nature-inspired tune on Beat Soup's Mixcloud.

Africa Hitech is an electronic music project consisting of Mark Pritchard and Steve Spacek. They released their first EP Blen on 19 April 2010 and a second, Hitecherous on 28 June 2010. Their debut album 93 Million Miles was released on May 16, 2011.

Pitchfork gave the album a review of 8.2, writing "It's no small feat to craft something this adventurous and eclectic and still have it turn out to share the cohesion of a DJ mix, but Africa Hitech manage just that-- and despite all the left turns, you want to stick by their side every step of the way".

Check out their album at Warp Records.

 

Expression & Being is an ongoing series exploring our human insights and connections invoked by creative, artistic and human expression. We believe that our expressions have the capacity to inspire awareness of self, society, planet and existence which then can be applied to our everyday behaviour: living life that is as inspired as the output itself. 

It is through inspiration that we arrived at our endeavour in high-quality organic fashion, and by sharing our favourite music, literature, films and other artistic media, we hope to give thanks to a global community of creatives, artists and humanists who continually inspire us to move our feet forward on our path.
