Bolla / Afrikan Basement
Makussa (Vinyl 2 - Unreleased Extended Versions)

Listening notes

Bolla and Afrikan Basement's "Makussa (Vinyl 2 - Unreleased Extended Versions)" was released on Sacred Rhythm Music in 2016, catalogued as SOIL.LP1 - ABCD. The release is presented as the second vinyl component of what the label frames as a larger project, with this installment positioned specifically around extended and previously unreleased material.

The record spans four tracks across two sides. Side C opens with "Makussa (Joaquin's Personal Unreleased 'Boiler Room' Version)," running nearly ten minutes at 9:48 — the longest track on the release. The title itself signals an intentional framing around exclusivity and informality, referencing both a named individual and the cultural shorthand that "Boiler Room" carries within electronic music contexts. Whether that framing reflects an actual event or is purely a stylistic designation is not confirmed by the available information. Side C closes with "Basement Seance (LP Version)" at 5:14, its title echoing the Afrikan Basement name while the "LP Version" designation suggests the track exists in other configurations elsewhere.

Side D carries two tracks: "Downward Staircase" at 5:24 and "Sangre (Sacred Rhythm Version)" at 7:28. The latter's subtitle ties the track directly to the releasing label, again suggesting alternate versions exist outside this pressing.

The release sits within the genres of Deep House, Electronic, and House. The consistent use of version designations across the tracklist — "Unreleased," "LP Version," "Sacred Rhythm Version" — suggests the release was assembled with an awareness of how these tracks relate to other editions or formats, though the specifics of that broader catalog context are not confirmed here.
