thee j johanz: kambo

Thee J Johanz's "Kambo" is a dark and mysterious, almost Chris & Cosey-sounding, 808-driven trip into the Amazon rainforest of Brazil. In a serious ritual, poison of the kambo frog comes to you like an electrocution. After begin sick for a short while, it makes you the happiest person on Earth. For weeks. And this is how it feels. It's a piece of art. Thee J Johanz's own remix takes you from the tribes of the Amazon to a kind of tripped-out Chicago warehouse in 1987, while RK (Roland Klinkenberg!) makes "Kambo" groove on heavy bass and refined percussion.
