The original Incredible Bongo Band’s Bongo Rock is firmly cemented into musical history having provided the often sampled (and completely irresistible) “Apache” drum break for a million and one producers to cut up. Also known as Michael Viner’s Incredible Bongo Band, the project was born in 1972.
Over 3 decades after its inception, UK producer and avid record collector, Shawn Lee was marveling at the fact that there had never been an Indian style, sitar and tabla-heavy, version of the Incredible Bongo Band masterpiece, “Apache”. Lee decided he’d take on the entire Bongo Band debut album; and also two of his favorite tracks from their second album for good measure. “Why cover a song when you can cover a whole album? This is the road to madness my friend, and it is my preferred route!”

Download MP3: The Echocentrics “We Need A Resolution” (Timbaland Tribute)
The Echocentrics return with a new EP called Echoland. The EP is a tribute to hip-hop producer, Timbaland, featuring live instrumental reinterpretations (with one vocal tune from Tita Lima) of classic Timbo tracks.
Working on the follow up to Sunshadows, Echocentrics leader Adrian Quesada, found himself occasionally hitting walls and struggling to make creative progress. What began as a couple of “exercises” to get the creative juices flowing, dissecting the minimalistic genius of Timbaland turned into this EP.
Why Timbaland? Well, because he’s dope. Download the full EP at Ubiquity Records.
The Echocentrics “Not Too Late”. From the album Sunshadows out now on Ubiquity. Filmed in Marfa, TX. Produced by Luxury Mindz. Directed by OG.
