Fumbata

Fumbata is mood-altering, bass-thumpin', poly-rythmic mayhem. Once described as Frank Zappa and James Brown doing German electro, Fumbata has an ever-changing, cinematic feel that lulls you in, and then slaps you in the face with growling sub-bass and frenetic, complicated rhythms. Impossible to pin down, Fumbata constantly jumps genres, from downtempo to drum n'bass to hip-hop to hardcore industrial - sometimes all in the same song.
