Gonjasufi plays a brand of cracked and distorted dust-blown, desert-honed, neo-psychedelia that really isn't easy to describe. The songs kind of just fall into place. Some have hooks that seemingly come from nowhere. The album was put together with help from Flying Lotus and (mainly) The Gaslamp Killer.... but Gonjasufi sounds like his own man as he ploughs his unique musical furrow. I really, really rate this album - and the best thing is - it gets better and more compelling each time I play it. The record of 2010, so far, for me, no contest.

I hate that moment when you've played a record to death and you have to put it away for a year or so to make it fresh again. Well, it is going to happen with this one but I cannot help myself. This sort of creative eclecticism rarely makes for a consistently great record but here...! His voice, the production, the sheer quality of the songs make this one of the musical joys of this year. Thank God for the new Flying Lotus so I can start listening to something else occasionally!

I sought out this album after reading a couple of positive reviews. When I received it I put it on as I decorated the house! Suffice to say that not much work got done as I was instantly entranced in it's heavy grooves.
Musically I can't really compare it with anything else as I am not normally a fan of the trip-hop genre but this record defies categorisation (despite my attempts at doing so above!) and stands on it's own.
It's utterly absorbing but I wouldn't recommend you do anything important whilst listening to it as you won't be able to give the task your fullest attention. I still have half-painted walls as a result!

Not a dub record
If you are after a record with rolling dub bass lines, open spaces and clarity this is not for you maybe. I thought, by his name, that there would be dub reggae influences but no. Read more

Superb!
I just thought I'd add to the general praise for this record, I bought a lot of records last year, but I think this was actually the best 2010 had to offer. Read more

Gonjasufi is Groovylicious!
A new addition to the growing LA beat scene is Gonjasufi's `A Sufi and a killer'. Produced by the nuttily brilliant Gaslamp Killer, plus guest beats from Flying Lotus and... Read more

The innovative 'crate digger' of the LA scene
Gonjasufi has both an interesting eclectic experimental musical and family background which, in many ways, is reflective of the music of his debut. Read more

I was drawn to this through various reviews and through his link with Flying Lotus, not really knowing what to expect. Read more
