  • Two remixes for Sven Kacirek's "The Kenya Sessions", by Lawrence and Taprikk Sweezee. Two of Hamburg's most inspiring electronic producers put their hands on Sven's recordings of Kenyan musicians. Additionally Sven remixes one of his own Tracks and - definitely more than a secret highlight - gives us one exclusive vocal Track called "Takaye Village".


  • Pingipung presents "The Kenya Sessions" - an enchanting cooperative mission featuring Sven Kacirek, our experimental drummer and electronic producer, and musicians from Kenya.

    "The Kenya Sessions" is Pingipung’s second album by Sven Kacirek. It is the result of an extended visit to the country with live and fieldrec sessions which he later processed in his studio in Hamburg. Sven Kacirek plays with local Kenyan stars such as 80 year-old female vocalist Ogoya Nengo, or with Okumo Korengo, who delivers amazing patterns with his "Nyatiti", a traditional string instrument.


  • Sven Kacirek has become popular as a virtuoso Jazz and Drum'n'Bass Drummer. For his first Solo-Album, he substitutes his drumsticks for brushes and his drumset for a marimba, wood, paper and glass. Sven electronically post-produces his minimal patterns to end up with a breathtaking live-ambient-sound. Throughout "The Palmin Sessions" one can witness the organic warmth of instruments recorded with precision which blend beautifully.
