Anchorsong’s ‘Testimony’ Is A Percussive Masterclass

Watch the hypnotic visuals now...

TruThoughts producer Anchorsong is constantly seeking out new sounds, fresh influences.

The beat maker has a global span, continually stepping out-with the West hegemony to find inspiration.

New album 'Cohesion' is out on October 26th, a percussive workout that fuses traditions from different continents with a defiantly modern outlook.

“The concept for the new record began to form when I found my favourite composers,” the producer explains. “Sapan Jagmohan, Rajesh Roshan and Kalyanji Anandji became my favourites, and I devoured their catalogues. They’re the masters of percussive pop.”

“On this album, I tried to blur the border between rhythm and melody, hence it’s title ‘Cohesion’. Indian percussions like the dholak and tabla are tuneable, and I mixed them with other vaguely pitched percussions like bongos or claves to make them sound like part of a melody”.

This is completely evident on new single 'Testimony', with its Bollywood pop feel pitting the traditional against the futuristic.

The full video is a hypnotic feast, a real treat – so tune in now.
