Trans Afro Express by Jerome Sydenham & Fatima Njai feat. Mario Punchard

Much of Ibadan label-boss Sydenham's career has been defined by his infusion of pan-African sounds into electro, house, and techno. Teaming up with frequent collaborator Fatima Njai and percussionist Mario Punchard, the Nigerian-born, NY-honed artist continues his mission with a brilliant interpretation of one of Kraftwerk's most influential tracks, "Trans Europe Express".

Evocative of the organic, drum-led, and hypnotic grooves that run through Sydenham and Njai's output, "Trans Afro Express" is a compelling update of a classic.

Jerome and I have been neighbors for well over 10 years and we've always shared a mutual appreciation for forward-thinking dance music, I was completely blown away when I first heard “Trans Afro Express” and signed it on the spot. To me this is Jerome and he is the living breathing Trans Afro Express - Radio Slave
