limited 2017 repress !! with the much anticipated debut album of afefe iku, yoruba records presented the first official banger of 2008 with mirror dance. with its ridiculous driving beat, and one of the most memorable melody lines we ve heard on the dance floor, mirror dance is another one of those dance floor monstrosities that afefe iku seems to naturally pull out of his magic hat. on the b side, osunlade takes it deep with his yoruba soul mix featuring spoken word king oveous maximus. with deeper rhythms and a stripped groove, this one takes you back to the basement house parties allowing you to go into trance and zone out to the words of ove. brace yourselves, yet again

the latest installment from the labels mystery man takes us out of the jungle and into the mountains, where syncopated analog rhythms dance beside electric melodies surrounding a caravan of textures and reflection. not much else needs to be said about this one except its either for you or not, if so, enjoy and elevate.

so, who is this mysterious afefe iku? after absolutely destroying the dancefloors all year long with his infamous bootleg of radioheads >everything in its right place<, which he smartly put out in extremely limited amounts of vinyl around the same time his mentor, osunlade, featured his cover of that very same song on bbes >exit music: songs with radio heads<. in all honesty afefe remains a mystery even to us. so, let us start by saying who afefe isnt. unfortunately, for those who thought he was osunlade, you are mistaken, but dont feel ashamed, because afefe creates at osunlades studio in santorini, which makes sense to pinpoint him as osunlade.

yoruba records proudly present the return of afefe iku. returning after a four year hiatus with is his first release since his 2008 debut album and smash hit mirror dance, here we have a four song ep entitled the blues. with his eclectic force and sound, afefe brings us another chapter in his developing story. the blues gives us the dark edge of deeper techno, whereas the arsonist is an in your face mid tempo head banger featuring osunlade on vocals. dakountdown and jungle beats stand alone in style and approach as a throwback to the days when house was simply just house, without the multitude of todays dance genres. yoruba pray that you embrace the next wave of sound from the mind of the man who brought you the classic artifacts of pottery vessels

hot casa records present togo soul 70 (selected rare togolese recordings from 1971 to 1981). a treasure-trove of rare and unusual recordings mostly recorded in lomé during the 70’s, a fusion of traditional voodoo chants, raw soul and afro jazz. hot casa records selected 13 tracks, a snapshot of some hundreds of rare and often forgotten tapes from the most prolific, professional and exciting phase of the country’s recording history, including international stars like bella bellow (who even performed to maracana stadium in brazil), or roger damawuzan, compared as the james brown from lomé, and forgotten tapes and brilliant songs in mina, kabyié and fon languages. many of the tracks featured here are peppered with innovation and experimentation highlighting how diverse the music scene in togo was at the time, even if the political context influenced their creation.

der nigerianische musiker fela kuti gilt als begründer des afrobeat. das label knitting factory legt nun verschiedene werke aus dem backcatalogue als neue vinyl-edition vor. diese entstammen ursprünglich dem von brian eno zusammengestellten set -vinyl box 3/compiled by brian eno- und waren einzeln nicht erhältlich. schwarzes vinyl / 180g. 1973 entstanden, ist -gentleman- der direkte vorläufer zum legendären album -alagbon close- - und alle zutaten des legendären afrobeat sind hier schon perfekt angelegt. thematisch pendelt das album zwischen kolonialismus (das titelstück) und persönlichen erlebnissen. -fefe naa efe- zelebriert die Überwindung von herzschmerz, während -igbe- (zu deutsch -scheiße-) durchdekliniert, wann ein menschen -scheiße- handelt: von verrat bis zur mangelnden selbstachtung ist die rede.

on side a ku bo presents his first collaboration with são paulo, brazil based mc fefe. on >turnerment< fefe rhymes in portugese about the crazy beat of ku bo and how it turns her on. the paulista mc, who also works as an acclaimed visual artist, has already collaborated with other bass music related artists such as al haca and is well immersed in the sound of future bass science. >turnerment< perfectly combines joey beltram basslines with an irresistible house groove, brazilian cuica sounds and a hands up in the air atmosphere
