The string of Cómeme releases in its 14th year of existence does not stop!

We are back with an artist whose tracks you’ve been hearing in the sets of the most free-spirited and forward-thinking DJs: None other than Bufimanhas joined the catalog of Cómeme with a fantastic release: original, modern, and irresistibly danceable. 5 tracks featuring B-Boy Rhythms, outer space fantasy and dance floor utopia – in a way you’ve never heard this exceptional artist before.

For 15 years he’s been a resident at Düsseldorf’s legendary “Salon des amateurs” and has released on other wonderful labels such as Versatile, Safe Trip Records, Dekmantel Records, and Fasaan Recordings – and under his other alias “Wolf Müller” on Themes for Great Cities, Growing BinRecords and International Feel.

Due to living in a small flat with too many neighbors, in childhood Jan could not pursue his dream of playing the drums, so he started to work with drum breaks on a program on Windows 95. For around 25 years he’s now collecting drum samples, however, you won’t hear any of these on this record.

During the pandemic, Bufiman had to change his approach. Unable to work, due to the ban on all dance events he found a job opportunity as a night shift caregiver in a small town near Düsseldorf. This meant that he had to sit on a bus for at least three hours a day. To kill time somehow, he took out his Nintendo Switch portable game console and stumbled across Korg Gadget: a modern music program that he never particularly liked.

The many hours on the back seats of the bus changed his relationship with the app as it was his only way of shortening the hours of commuting. The “Switch Beats” EP is the result of this particular time in his life, and once again we see that marvelous things can happen when your ways of creating are challenged in an unprecedented manner.
