ltd upfront promos , boddhi satva and abel tabu have fused their interpretation of african music by returning to their roots, providing us with one of the most interesting projects this year on atal music. they asked the talented congolese guitarist, danny mpiana, to bless their production with a true central african musical feeling ensuring they capture and soothe both heart and soul of dancers and listeners worldwide. the name boddhi satva has become for the most part, synonymous with deep, afro ancestral beats, melodies and rhythms. all these elements and more are present in his past productions, so its only fitting that he capitalize on this trend and join forces with his friend abel tabu to bring forth the best of both musical backgrounds. the end result is moina ya mokili, a formidable collaboration that confirms their true love and passion for deep soulful music. furthermore, this project is endorsed and enriched with support from abicah soul. his remix incorporates scintillating afro latin smooth, yet powerful beats and the signature abicah soul touch of deepness.

this third release is finally lead by its mastermind monsieur claude monnet.the pioneer of ethnic and exotic contaminations creates a sort of bridge between ancestral hypnosis of african tribal movements, haitian voodoo incantation and the third millennium dancefloors. a strong cascade of rhythm modulated by a deep and vibrant drum framing a mysterious dialog between an imaginary witch doctor and a persuasive feminine voice and bringing the listener in a state of trance able to carry body and mind away. monnets lesson sounds highly clear, few elements developed with masterful creativity and an unconventional dealing of music composition make at its best the real essence of house music. firmly balearic approach

killer! we are honored that cadenza co-founder philippe quenum joins the fray with this super-fresh two tracker straight out of his geneva studio and into clubs, after parties, and living rooms all over the world. agbaja is a panorama bar special. it is big, freaky, dark, and loud. it is made for places that dont stop. it is for that moment when the party is about to lose control. this is quenums darker side. a day in mumbai is one of those tracks that defies description. is it house? is it techno? to us, its modern minimal music with personality. its soulful. its percussive. its loose. its quirky. most tellingly, its highly personal look into the roots of a very talented african-born, french-raised musician. if you cant get into this, get your head checked.

new bell is a stone cold classic piece of afrobeat that only appeared on 12 inch on an extremely rare dutch pressing and is a big play for everyone from masters at work (who made a pretty nice remix a while back) to gilles peterson. quite simply if you have any interest at all in african dance music you need this record. the flipside cut yoyo was only on a very rare french 7inch to our knowledge, this lesser known piece of afro disco really does get the party shaking its collective rump and sounds super fat on 12 inch for the first time
