Extremely rhythmic music

[mawltea]

Silly title to a thread, I know, but I'm basically looking for music that has some sort of extraordinarily crazy rhythmic element to it, like some ritualistic trance-like drumming going on, I'm thinking some African stuff. Any suggestions?

maybe not at all what you are looking for, but it's the first thing that popped into my head.


riddim starts at about 1min.

When you say African music, you just need to check the recent FACT mix of Bass Clef !

Thanks! Doesn't have to be electronic, just some really tribal-ish heavy percussion shit going on.

try Mongo Santamaria

just a load of cuban percussion really with a bit of singing over the top

You may like Komodo's stuff. Didgeridoo+Exotic percussions, lotsa bass too.

This is essential. Also look for some Burundi stuff.
