There aren't many techno artists who have as distinct of a stylistic identity as Ibrahim Alfa. Consistantly raw & abrasive, yet he can delve into a myriad of different styles & moods. Ibi has an uncanny knack for finding infectiously "A-rhythmic" rhythmic patterns. And for whatever reason, theres always some sort of hypnotic groove or chord pattern within all the confusion that will suck you in even further. So it can be heady at times. Eventually, one discovers that part of Ibi's trick is that he resides firmly within the "Wonky" end of the techno spectrum. Perhaps it is that very disregard for convention that gives it that unmistakable edge & personality. But it annoys me that I can't play more of his stuff w/ ease. Yet regardless, he really offers all the avenues for purists & explorers of any genre. Be it Techno, Downtempo, Industrial, Electro, or Breaks, Ibi will make tracks that you'll go nuts for.
