Afrikan Sciences Announce New Album To Come Via Pan

Music

Afrikan Sciences is set to release his third album, Circuitous, through the ever reliable PAN, on December 8th.

The album sees Afrikan Sciences – aka Eric Douglas Porter – make his debut for PAN. His previous work has been released via the Deepblak label, run by Porter's long time collaborator Aybee, and has seen the New York producer explore afrofuturist paths through house, hip hop, soul and jazz. In a fairly bold bit of PR hyperbole, PAN write that the album travels through territories "most recognizably charted by astral traveler Sun Ra-" possibly a slightly higher benchmark than most artists would be happy to set themselves. Having said that, the track they label have released for streaming is a fine percussive jam, nodding to both African rhythmic traditions and a warm, loose jointed take on NY deep house.

01. Two in the Chamber 04:45
