Tuesday Born Brings The Sounds Of Accra To The Streets Of London
It’s difficult to amalgamate sounds as disparate as those heard in London and Accra, Ghana into a cohesive result. It is far more difficult to make it sound organic and natural, as opposed to contrived and co-opting. London-based producer Gabriel Benn aka Tuesday Born has been able to do exactly that. As one half of The Busy Twist, Benn has been creating upbeat dance tunes the duo call “African Music Bass Tunes.” Tuesday Born, is a more subdued and more satisfying take than The Busy Twist. Rhythm is paramount on the Mockingbird EP, Benn’s debut, released yesterday. The tracks were created using Benn’s vocals, a keyboard and a laptop. The sound is difficult to distinguish, yet easy to consume. It would be limiting to call this a dance release, because it can function in so many other realms. The EP costs only one pound, more than a fair price for such a complete release.
