1st single from the forthcoming album `Lectric Veve
by Black Arts Lab & The Lost Tribe of Benin Mass Choir

‘Lectric Veve was originally produced as an instrumental track, but upon experimenting with layering multi-vocal samples, it evolved beyond my expectation and inadvertently evoked parallels between a Sunday morning African-American Pentecostal church service (the root of House Music) and a Benin-West African Vodun ceremony. As I started to add the vocal samples, I was inspired by an interview with The Hives, in which they state, "We discovered if you play the same riff as long as possible before changing it, people go crazy!"
So, fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the ride!
