In this limited run series, I will be exploring the pioneers that have shaped and influenced the EDM we have today. In this episode I will be featuring “Safri Duo”. “Safri Duo” formed in 1977; their initial focus was on classical music. Later their style evolved with the blend of electronica and tribal. In 2000 they gained mainstream success with their release of “The Bongo Song”. Take a listen to it here. “The Bongo Song” was featured in the 2000 Summer Olympics. The success of this song came from the fusion of tribal drums and trance. This caught the attention of Club DJs and even media like MTV Europe because no one ever heard the mixing of percussions and trance before “Safri Duo”. That’s it for this week’s Vinyl’s from the past; now let’s get back to more music. Symphonix: Start – 11:36 and End – 17:44Established in 1998, DJ Montagu and DJ Golkunda have made a name for themselves with their project Symphonix.
