disco mali! sofrito present a unique slice of afro-disco from the celebrated griot, niama makalou, recorded in the late 70s.
descended from a family of griots (traditional malian praise singers), niama makalou moved to france in the mid 70s where she cut this, her one and only vinyl release. at the time paris (like much the rest of the world) was swept up in disco fever, so along with a group of malian musicians the date was set to cut a piece of disco, griot style. the resulting mixture of off kilter hand claps, raw string arrangements, balafon flourishes and bambara vocals combine with a heavy disco groove to produce a one-off piece of cross-cultural dancefloor mayhem.
on the flip daphni (aka caribou) crafts an extended version that distills it into a stripped down and dubbed out groove.

after their first album made the crash test dummies huge in their home country canada, their second album meant their big break in the usa and europe, thanks to the self-consciously bizarre lyrics and the deep baritone voice of singer/songwriter brad roberts, demonstrated in their worldwide top ten hit mmm mmm mmm mmm.
other popular singles off the album were >afternoons & coffeespoons< and >swimming in your ocean<. >god shuffled his feet< was the bands most commercially successfull album reaching top album charts in usa (#9), uk (#2) and in different countries in europe (ironically, after a car accident where brad roberts almost lost his arm, crash test dummies made a few other albums but unfortunately limited distribution made these hard to find).

a symbiosis of two perfectionists who would like to surprise with something new and got lost in the deep widenesses of techno. now, zdenko grbavac and morgenklang let it come true and release their first record in common. the two tracks are technoid, impulsive and surprising at the same time. >epos< comes out on top at the middle distinctivly. the tracks baseline is remindful of the early 80s synth-pop and sounds in combination with the remaining parts like an unstoppable train. the track >novum< is a monster of chord and pushes relentlessly. however the athmosphere creates a certain easiness and moves the audience in a dreamy state.
