Michel Banabila

Michel Banabila – Unspeakable Visions (Knekelhuis, KH052). The Dutch composer pivots from tape‑loop explorations to a vivid, body‑moving language of chant‑like voices, off‑grid rhythms and analog‑digital synth alchemy. You’ll hear echoes of Eno/Byrne’s imaginary ethnography and kraut‑tinted electronics, yet Banabila’s soundworld feels distinctly contemporary—otherworldly phonetics ripple over dub‑wise low end, metallic percussion scuttles, melodies glint like signals in fog. A deep, cinematic LP that rewards both DJ experimentation and front‑to‑back, lights‑down immersion.
