Mauritius-based producer tripes draws on the polyrhythms of the Indian Ocean, bringing elements of traditional Sega and Maloya together with pulses of Angolan kuduro, Moroccan gnawa and South-Indian percussion traditions. These references are then transmogrified into a modern electronic dialect, their rhythms maintaining their ancestral swing and complexity and bolstered with sharp percussive hits, shifting meters, shattered effects and sleek digi-textures. His 2025 debut EP sega tron sharpened his rhythmic hybrid into something both club-ready and deeply rooted, pairing hand-played percussion with fractured electronic processing and a sense of motion that never fully resolves.
