"One of the first artists from outside of Africa to sign to Hakuna Kulala WULFFLUW XCIV brings his borderless productions to the label's ongoing Whitelabel series following a slew of dancefloor agitations from T5UMT5UMU Menzi & Scratchclart and others. ""Toxica EP"" builds on the mutant fusion of 2020's acclaimed ""Ngoma Injection"" stripping back the woozy psychedelia and chromium ambience and replacing it with pure soundsystem pressure. 'Take a Ride' bends acid techno machinery around rubbery East African rhythms anchoring block party hedonism with a 4/4 bump that wouldn't be out of place in Kreuzberg and vocal shakes straight from Sao Paulo. But this isn't a mindless mashup of aesthetics its a conversation with the world's fringe agitators using stylistic and rhythmic strokes to highlight commonality not exclusivity.Hakuna Kulala's own Chrisman appears on 'Tetemeka' and the two producers adapt the syrupy tarraxinha inversions the Congolese engineer perfected on last year's ""Makila"" full-length. Low resonant gqom atmospheres underpin the entire track but WULFFLUW XCIV's squeaky toy synths prevent it from slipping into darkness. Elsewhere 'Kluck' distorts the timeline completely wedging flute-led Latin American tribal sounds into a riddim vs. trap superstructure and 'Exp' sublimes speed dembow into delirious trance and minimal techno vapors. The boundaries between dance subgenres are slowly dissolving and WULFFLUW XCIV's digital-era intermixture sounds like the cyberpunk carnival we're all desperately in need of."
