Loukoumades' is the latest album from the Dave de Rose led international improvisation project Agile Experiments, released on None More Records. The title 'Loukoumades', which is the Greek word for doughnut, was inspired by J Dilla's album 'Donuts', tipping the hat at the connection between the Greek location of the sessions, the musical style of Penka's hip-hop/funk drumming and the Agile Experiments avant-garde sonics the project was founded on. The record is built on breaks and beats layered with eerie loops and effects, calling on hip hop, post-punk, psychedelia, dub and further out-there experimental textures. 'Loukoumades' brings to mind the textures of El-P's production work for the likes of Cannibal Ox or DJ Shadow in his 'Endtroducing' era, whilst the live drums and bass guitar give the album a real energy and tightness reminiscent of Portishead's Third or Can at their funkiest.
