Duke Boara drops second taster from ‘11AM/11PM Tapes’ double album project (LG105) – ‘Jungle/Beware of the Mad Man’ out now

A second taster feeds anticipation for multi-instrumentalist and world music proponent Duke Boara’s forthcoming double LP project ‘11AM/11PM Tapes’. A double release ‘Jungle (11AM)’ paired with ‘Beware of the Mad Man (11PM)’, is out now on LG105.

Boara aka James Toomey, only 23 but already with 5m+ streams to his name, has produced 26 tracks for his ambitious ‘mixtape’, playing piano, guitar, and drums himself throughout across a rich blend of lo-fi, breakbeat, melodic, summery house… Cool alternative electronic imprint LG105 is the perfect home for Boara, along with Mall Grab, Effy, Beka, Lawrence Hart, bad tuner and Model Man.

‘Jungle (11AM)’: pulsing synth melodies and gradual strings usher in a Spanish-style fingerpick acoustic guitar tune, quick and light as jungle rain. Intriguing and entrancing.

‘Beware of the Mad Man (11PM)’ ups the pace with rattling busy bongos, thudding beat, and an all-in percussion fest to get feet moving and fingers drumming. Booming bass strings sing a complex riff as remote choral voices add sweetness. Packed with jittery energy.

‘I included a good selection from the last 5 years of my work. I think my sound has definitely changed quite a lot so I wanted a wide variety on the tapes’ Boara says. It seems to work to have one tape being darker and more clubby, and the other more for daytime listening.’

The full double mixtape drops on October 7th with focus track ‘Evergreen’ plus a massive 14 additional exclusive cuts.
