El Octarón is possibly the most elusive and mysterious DJ/Producer in the world. A refugee from the Island of Doctor Moreau, his actual name is unknown but his moniker is derived from the fact that one eighth of his DNA was culled from Pygmy Marmosets. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pygmy_marmoset
This experimental hybridization has given him the uncanny ability (some might say superpower) to play instruments in perfect time to tempos ranging from 10 to 400 BPM. His Marmoset genes and musical sensibilities allow him to craft remixes with unrivaled agility. He also possesses the most keen sense of smell and acute night vision of any musician and is arguably the most adorable. Don't be deceived by his animal magnetism though; one false move or poorly timed glance and he WILL BITE YOU and then scurry off into the dense jungle while you bleed.
Shaky Mbuti is a collaboration between Bali Yaaah, El Octarón and his extended family. Much of the audio source material was sampled from rare field recordings of actual Marmoset traditional music rituals known as "Jungle Boogies". The title is a tribute to the Mbuti People of the Congo Region of Africa and reflects the profound respect and reverence El Octarón has for their culture and musical traditions and his unwavering commitment to their preservation.
