Naphta is a Wrockaw based RBMA alumni who loves weed, video games and Sun Ra’s cosmic jazz. He blends his varied influences with not-that-obvious attitude, creating four slices of heavy exotica house aimed directly at the dancefloor. All cuts are filled with voodoo drums, rainforest darkness and pure tropical heat.

“Age Of Sun” has you hooked right from the start with its beautiful combination of tribal flutes and chimes with an irresistible machine groove. “Shoji The Shaman” hits harder with the full force of demented drum machines and free jazz tonalities, while “Boulevard Touch” is the kind of rainforest brilliance we’re used to hearing Dresvn, Sotofett or the Soviet house kids unleash. Naphta closes the set in dark and dense fashion with the gloomy bump of “Cirlces”, a percussive thumper layered with a heavy fug of pitched down vocals and chopped up samples. Imagine a lost RZA house cut and you’ll be on the right path.
