Listen To German Producer Daniel Haaksman's "Xinguila"

From African Fabrics Out Feb 26
Artwork by Tobias Rehberger

Berlin-based producer and Man Recordings label head, Daniel Haaksman, found inspiration for his new album in a lost chapter of German history. African Fabrics could be interpreted as an investigation into Germany's colonization of Africa. For the track "Xinguila" Haaksman enlisted Portuguese-Anglolan duo, Throes + The Shine, for a high-powered mix of Kalimba rhythms that are at once ostentatiously electronic as they are raw. Scope the tracklist for African Fabrics and listen to "Xinguila" below.
