Limited to 500 worldwide. The debut release by Glitterbeat Records is a limited edition 12" with two dubbed-up remixes by electronic music explorer, Mark Ernestus. The tracks are pulled from Glitterbeat artist, Ben Zabo's self-titled and highly touted, 2012 debut album of frenetic, Malian Afro-rock. Mark Ernestus's influence on the last twenty years of electronic music is well established. With partner Moritz von Oswald, Ernestus spearheaded two legendary projects: the minimal techno pulse of Basic Channel and the avantroots- dub of Rhythm and Sound. Since the mid-2000's Mark has increasingly focused on African music. In addition to his remixes for Konono no.1, Tony Allen and the South African electro group BBC, Mark dropped two 12's last year made in collaboration with the Senegalese band Jeri-Jeri. "Mark Ernestus is the genetic engineer behind the Techno sound that has become the European heartbeat ...the music remains ageless" —The Wire/February 2010 Ben Zabo on the other hand, is a relatively new name. Belonging to the Bwa ethnic group, a culture whose musical traditions are more poly-rhythmic and energetic than most Malian music, Zabo released his first album in May of 2012. Backed by a full-throttle 7-piece band, Zabo's music pleads for love and justice while barnstorming the dancefloor.
