Michel Banabila

"A melange of lush harmonics and soft but heavy broken beats, tropical synth work and warped electro-acoustic sounds that manage to feel hugely organic, ancient and tribal and synthetic and futuristic all at once." - JUNO

"After a while you find yourself settling into something mesmeric and hypnotic, because Banabila merges aspects of sound design and collaged samples with Bastien's Don Cherry-esque improvisations into a true fusion of the ambient and glitchy." - THE WIRE

“He is a man of many genres, or perhaps more correctly, he is trans-genre, for there seems to be no particular base from which he prefers to work. He just composes. And collaborates eagerly, to the listener's delight.” Stephen Fruitman - SONOMU.NET

"MIchel Banabila succeeds in translating these much-used ethno tropes into driving grooves, giving his sound an urgency that has nothing to do with the interchangeability of some of the exotic ambient releases of the last ten years."  HHV Mag - Pippo Kuhzart.

"For anyone who's bored with their current musical interests. Learn a new language with Banabila, the language of sound". INK19 - Vanessa Bormann.
