Abstract Symposium

2 years after the excellent “The Broken Symphony”, the wait is over. Degiheugi’s fourth album, “Abstract Symposium” is an album that stands out from its predecessors.

Indeed, if the beatmaker made himself known thanks to an essentially instrumental production, his latest effort goes against his whole approach. You will understand, the album is a vocal disc: a host of guests, for 16 strong character tracks.

Don’t panic, if you enjoyed the previous albums, it’s a safe bet that this disc will delight your eardrums just like in the good old days. Understand by this, that even if the bias to put forward the voice can be risky for the solidity of the production of the sieur, the balance remains preserved.

On the program, cuts, breaks, “triturage and assemblage”, which made it famous, all cleverly enriched by the vocal performances of the guests. Here the change is intelligent, it operates smoothly and surprises you when you least expect it, while preserving certain immutable bases which give this artist all his interest.

Sometimes jazz, then hip-hop, or acoustic folk, “Abstract Symposium” is the album of diversity … but can it be otherwise with Degiheugi?
