four discerning tracks from stupid human & space:tricks channeling the east, west and central africa. zaire is a bonafide classic in the making and were told is not an edit.

khaan started his dj career in 2005. since then, developed through his passion for electronic music, he has been setting high standards on the turntables. in 2007 he decided to start producing his own tracks, much to the joy of his ever growing fan-base. by now his electronic beats can be heard in various releases - *journey to africa* with the label tanzbar musik (including miss jools remix) or *control me* on the *venice ep* from blackrose records, if only to mention a few. further releases with prestigious labels like off, blufin or natural rhythm have proved themselves topsellers. this time khaan got together with alex gori from italy, delivering 2 good tracks for this ep, with a huge amount rhythm, feeling, and groove. for the remix we have no other than sis and zohki & roozlee from viva music, big love to you guys, think you gonna listen.

taken from the forth coming compilation album of the late 70s early 80s south african 7inch. these funk fuelled workouts combine the rhythmic passion of africa and drive of the us funk from that era. all tracks given a remastered touch up by mr chop

inspired by the musical lineage of london, chicago, new york and detroit, elements of house music, techno music, bass culture and the rhythms of west africa are all to be found here. distinctive in its raw immediacy, drumtalks music belongs in the same dark corners of the dancefloor as daphni, midland and eliphino. his productions and remixes for more music, sofrito, soundway, huntleys & palmers and now getme! have been making an impact far and wide, getting attention of djs such as james holden, jackmaster, gilles peterson and skream. forthcoming single snb /super vega has received radio play on rinse fm, radio 1 and radio 6.

though the iconic imagery of disco feels distinctly tied to the united states, the style had a wide-reaching influence that made it’s way to africa. while africa was already no stranger to the pulsing rhythms of funk, afro-beat, and highlife, the rise of disco added a slick sheen to the music, with musicians from all over the continent incorporating elements of the genre into their sounds. would there ever have been a studio 54 in ghana in late 70s, these would have been the recordings that would have packed the dance floor with their deep root in disco, soul & funk! an album recorded in the late 70s packed full of legendary musicians such as harry mosco and many more… to be re-discovered 35 years after it’s initial vinyl release as a private press. a “disco documentary full of funk” proves that it stands the test of time by sounding as fresh and original as any other sought-after disco / soul funk lp from the west coast of africa in the late 70s. bbe went on another crate-digging journey and found the original producer reindorf nana oppong and the original master tapes were dusted off, transferred to digital. in the process of this, even un-released material was discovered on the tapes, which makes this a rather special package. “nana love - disco documentary full of funk” is one special journey through afro disco & boogie in the late 70s, and we at bbe can guarantee that you won’t be disappointed!!!

breathtaking contemporary spiritual jazz from south africa ... when tumi mogorosi composed this suite for jazz musicians and opera vocalists he had never heard the previous successful attempts by donald byrd, max roach or mary lou williams to combine these seemingly unfriendly aesthetics. tumi, born in 1987 and already an accomplished drummer on the joburg scene, was at the time studying music at the tshwane university of pretoria where he became close friends with opera singers working on the same campus. so unlike some of his us peers tumis beliefs are not religious.

following on from the massive finger edits release in october last year we are thrilled to welcome back reverend p for another home run on basic fingers. the a-side *angels in africa* is a deep and soulful uptempo number. the smooth percussion infuses softly with its modern synth textures and provides the perfect backing to bumping in your 85 pontiac parisienne. on the flipside the good reverend is offering another rework so tasty your dancefloor will be munching out of the palm of your hand, *just in strawberry*.

wolfram says: i started to record the track cant remember when i was in africa and some riots happened in egypt in 2013. it was a weird time so it turned out to be a dark tune with robotic vocals. i recorded the vocals for the track talking to you when i was on tour with andy butler in the hotel room on my macbook air. basically its him saying this beat is talking to you and i recorded some burp sounds on the flight and train home. i invited him to my home studio to change the demo vocals, but he felt asleep on the chair next to me. so, i thought maybe i should just the use the demo macbook vocals.

after kicking off with a delightfully classy deep house ep from chicago s strong souls, d3 elements - the label run by the same person as vibes and pepper records - presents it s second ep from brian harden. this long anticipated ep is reminiscent of his upbeat, melodic style that is his trademark. known best known by his affiliations with relief records, underground therapy, nitelife collective, moods and groove and house 4 life records. brian was also affiliated with the well strictly jazz unit as well as wavelength and aura 9. the black 3 ep opens with a1. qunu - a rhythmic homage to south africa s nelson mandela. a complex piece filled with tribal percussions and vibrant melodic sounds that will keep you dancing. qunu creates an addictive rhythm of warmth and color. definitely a club banger! a2. - days of days - is a euphoric affair with lush chords, enticing percussions with ariose bass line. light and airy with a compelling groove. it s a masterful example of genuine house. b1. - the black 3 ep brings the ep to climax with chicago to detroit. this one is a brilliant rendition of original chicago house. the chords are hypnotic, drums are truly crafted to make you move your body. chicago to detroit will truly be onsidered a classic.

nice price deal !!! quenum is an extraordinary individual. a professional breakdancer that was raised in africa, he found love in london in the 80s through mastering the art of djing to early electronic music and broke into the spotlight as acess58 in the 90s before forming the cadenza label with luciano in 2003.
his debut album *face to face* is deliriously deep and melancholic, rhythmically complex and gives a fragile new voice to techno. across the eleven original tracks, phillippe quenum exudes a graceful temperance creating tracks that flutter and take flight (indulge in synth voices of *children of the sun*) as well as rattle the bass bins (sample the raw energy of *basic solution* and delicate power of *ritual*). both sparse and insightful (*my people*) as well as intricate and anthemic (*never loose my soul*), quenums delivery is always quirky and slightly surprising and *face to face* is a curious analysis into this honest musical soul.

the funky fuzzy sounds of west africa.

oh yes, this a heavyweight bad boy on gamm from french beatmaker/producer izem. after his extensive travels around the globe the sound on the ep is influenced by africa, cuba as well as the middle east.
itt is an electronic take on a classic fela joint, celia (cruz) goes along a similar route but on the latin tip. both are pretty nasty and a near perfect marriage between futuristic productions and raw retro samples. finishing off the ep we get served a slice of arabic boogie using hipnotics hard to find boogie gem *are you lonely* and some fierce middle eastern vocals.

slamming remix package by full crate & mao !!!

french brothers baptiste & pierre colleu have been making music together since they were children. they spent a chunk of their childhood in africa, which they say has inspired their work in the studio. that influence is submerged fairly deep on dolphin kid, the title track for these two eps. theres an undercurrent of eerie soulfulness and woody percussion accents running through this oddly alluring cosmic-house seducer, but its roots are more balearic than afrobeat.

scotland-born parisian paradise 100 (a.k.a. dj africa, a.k.a. graham peel) has been percolating stripped-back, bouncy-castle house constructs onto the web for a few years but never locked them in wax until now. high time. following his minimalist dictum *more than three tracks on a song is just indulgence*, his debut eps four cuts share a sleek, spare design, jigsawing slinky bass, classic keys, lean drum programming and flashes of synth mirage into fluid, aerodynamic patterns. touches of melodic acid and crossover new wave color the mood an exotic, hedonistic hue (further evinced by titles like the loin king and french kissing in the house of love). his own vision of the project is appropriately fantastical: *the image in my mind is of tropical forests at night, torchlight, distant sounds of tribal ritual dance and ghosts.* regal music for pleasure domes.

this is the third hobbes music release and the second in a series of remix eps featuring up-and-­coming scottish artists remixed by well­-established and emerging local and international talents...

dead capo is a quartet that fluctuates between the classic sounds of jazz, the attitude of rock and the trepidation of surf. all of this seasoned with the cinema sounds of rota or morricone.
it has been 10 years since their debut lp, díscolo (pueblo records, 2002), made waves with the national critics. their new album is once again surprising and the band sounds as fresh as when they started their journey at the end of the 90s. sale (lovemonk, 2012) combines an extraordinary energy with passages of meticulous precision and goes from wild to calm in a way that is both unexpected yet natural. thelonius monk, cartoons, cinematic landscapes, rocks past, africa, surf and the ballad come together in an album as great as it is as unpredictable.

in 2011 it got a little quiet around the co-productions of fraenzen texas and ruede hagelstein aka the cheapers. but since the beginning of the new year the lights dont go out in their studio doing beats and sound. next to releases on areal records and bar25 the uy063 was born. title of the name giving a-side goes back on a quote from paris hilton who wants to tell with >amazeballs< how super cool she finds things. anyway the two artists made it real with their concise bassline which will make the people reliably squeak more than hobby djane hilton. on the b-side things turn a bit more severe: egyptian summer quotes with samples the arabic spring in africa and produces a revolutionary ground mood which has never been heard before. on b2 however there are the cheaperesque absurdities on the microfon like we know them. depositing skillfully their own vocals in the belly of a hungry electro monster.
