"The combined talents of Kaw Secka (Sabar/vocals), Tom Challenger (Sax/synths), Batch Gueye (Vocals/dance), Phil Stevenson (Guitar), John Brierley (Bass) and Dave Smith (Drums) creates a fusion that is mesmerising and intricate.Hip-hop dances with wild West African trance, jazz trips with electro lightning strikes and they come together in a sweeping embrace of different cultures. They are creating Worlds within Worlds".

"Anglo-Gambian Afro-dub experimentalists venture further on out (...), teleporting the listener to some West African metropolis a hundred years in the future. Formed in London by Gambian sabar drummer Kaw Secka and British keysman/saxophonist Tom Challenger, the collective's instrumental-only remit expanded in 2014 when Secka began improv-rapping on-stage. The stuttering foundation beats for "Daega Rek" were created by Dave Smith, drummer with Robert Plant's Sensational Space Shifters, often evoking a pan-African junglist mutation (...) while Challenger's avant-questing synths (...) add cosmic perplexity ... This one's fierce on every level".
