#ahossan #vinyl #indiemusic
The Parisian composer and producer, Niamké Désiré, known as Aho Ssan, has crafted a mix that offers listeners a journey through his wide-ranging musical connections. This compilation includes tracks from global artists he’s encountered over the years, as well as a previously unreleased piece from his forthcoming album, “Rhizomes”.
Throughout the years, Aho Ssan has had meaningful interactions and discussions with various artists about the state of the world, which has deeply influenced the diverse collaborations on “Rhizomes”. This album, being his second, is enriched by contributions from renowned names like Moor Mother, Angel Bat Dawid, Mondkopf, and Blackhaine. Beyond merely being a reflection of his lockdown experiences, Désiré’s work is fundamentally driven by his perspective on politics and the world at large.
The mix he’s assembled further accentuates his global musical influences. It features tracks by ambient artist KMRU and pieces by his Subtext label companions, such as Emptyset, along with two songs from “Rhizomes”. Through this curated selection, Aho Ssan paints a vivid picture of his musical universe and the connections he’s fostered in the industry.
