Mélanger techno, ethno et dubstep… Il fallait le faire et Rituel l’a fait. Le duo sort Deux, un second EP disponible le 27 mai chez Micronautics.
Rituel s’exprime surtout autour des 120 BPM. Une house music sur fond de samples ethno, de basses bien grasses et de ruptures dubstep. Le duo passe d’un style à l’autre plus qu’il ne les fusionne réellement. De quoi contenter les fadas de dancefloor.
Back in the 80s, there used to be a little known nightclub in the prominent city of Newark, New Jersey. It’s reputation of pushing the garage scene movement into popular culture preceded itself, and Club Zanzibar was the birthplace of many famed DJs like Tony Humphries and Tee Scott, who would find their love for music in the Garden State. The club’s legacy lives on in the garage scene today and the culture it created. Now, well into the years of their alliance, Christophe Monier of The Micronauts and Thomas Regnault’s project Rituel has brought life back to the legend wit their track ‘Club Zanzibar’. Off of their second EP Deux, (check out their first EP Un here), ‘Club Zanzibar’ is a mixture of tribal African vocal samples along top a funky house groove. Paying homage to the birthplace of the scene and the Tanzanian archipelago, Rituel creates a sensual message of life and connectivity as the song’s dynamism reaches a point of climax during the chorus. The 6 track EP will come with radio, instrumental and club versions of ‘Club Zanzibar’ and another original ‘Nirvana Dance’.
Rituel, the house alliance formed by Christophe Monier (The Micronauts) and Thomas Regnault (Dew Town Mayor), is about to release their second EP, appropriately titled “Deux”.

Rituel – Deux [Micronautics]
Un an après leur premier maxi « Un », le binôme formé par Christophe Monier (The Micronauts) et Thomas Regnault (Dew Town Mayor) revient avec le fort logique « Deux ». « Club Zanzibar » est un hommage partagé entre le territoire tanzanien et le fameux club éponyme du New Jersey. « Nirvana Dance » peut s’apparenter à un ovni musical. Un sample en sanscrit d’un poème indien sur une ryhtmique alternant entre house binaire et dubstep. Surprenant !

The lead track Club Zanzibar is a nod to the legendary New Jersey nightspot, as well as a heads up to the African tribal influences that spice up the dancefloor, making this a peak time house number with great samples and Italo Disco leanings. It comes backed with the firing on all cylinders Nirvana Dance, a pumping tempo changing bass heavy stonker with a mesmerising vocal.
