Ginga, Ricci Rucker's third and highly anticipated release sees the artist bring the two disparate influences of electro and hip-hop to a head, to yet again redefine himself with a new palette of sound. Booming 808 kicks, the much loved percussive shuffle and clap of the Roland 909, and washes of neon synth weave in and out to laser blast forward a future scene as we used to know it. A future not of terrorist doomsdays and global warming floods, but of giant robots, lasers and flying cars, always shining just over the horizon.
