Afronaught

Afronaught may be the main alias of Orin Walters, a main instigator of Western London’s broken defeat scene.

Walters’ path into dance music started in the past due ‘80s, when he started hearing pirate r / c and frequenting warehouse celebrations. It wasn’t a long time before he was rotating home on London pirates and keeping residencies at many night clubs. He spent time surviving in Chicago through the middle-‘90s and helped work night clubs like Kaboom as well as the Shelter.

The Mousetrap label was initiated around once, as well as the continuously mutating/developing Bugz within the Attic group had taken shape, dealing with production function and remix function. Walters’ Afronaught productions have a tendency to audio more straight soul-influenced than those of his counterparts — for example, “Transcend Me” resembles a hopped-up revise of Roy Ayers’ early-‘80s tasks like Sylvia Striplin as well as the Eighties Females, with the simple, free-flowing nature of these information supplanted with complicated, sputtering drum development. His debut full-length as Afronaught, the wonderful Shapin’ Fluid, premiered on R&S subsidiary Apollo in 2001.
