“What I Used To Play” is a significant part of Sven’s personal history presenting a wide range of electronic music with diversified roots and even influences like funk, jazz, and soul. West African music, instruments, and percussions have profoundly influenced important contemporary producers and even jazz musicians, which brought polyrhythmic Afrobeat influences to Western music. Le Serpent, by Algerian-born Abdelmadjid Guemguem, is a track that sounds completely different from everything else on WIUTP. Made in 1978, it’s a monumental, rousing groove created without bass or synths, just with five congas! Even though Guem sadly passed away in 2021, his immortal, acoustic beats are understood all over the world and will continue to enrich many thousands of DJ sets for years to come.
