a brand new instalment in the trans afryka series, that is loosely inspired by the sounds of the black continent and devoted to club-oriented afro-house. riding the waves of success with sold out volume 1, zambon employed three talented producers to bring more goods to the table. transatlantyk regulars like dj dook and universo are joined by a newcomer tamten and together deliver a bomb of an ep! aptly titled afro acid by dj dook is exactly what it says on the sleeve - raw dj tool with squelchy samples, mantra-like vocal loop and focused vibe. think of an soundtrack to a futuristic version of apocalypse now. just the perfect peaktime beats to heat the party a little bit more. praise song by universo is built on a wandering bassline reminiscent of malian blues with tribal chants, penny whistles and various sorts of percussions on top. this beautiful groove rolls and rolls without end, like an endless summer. ukukhnaya by tamten is the most atmospheric out of the three, fusing new age midi sounds with the vibes of south african deep house.

ofo the rock company (originally known as ofo the back company) were nigeria’s first acid-rock band. blending hendrix and deep purple with shamanism and a pro-black philosophy, they cut their teeth at fela kuti’s afrika shrine, developing a fearsome live reputation that intimidated every other band in lagos. no one wanted to follow the guys from ofo, not even fela himself.

from the outskirts of milan, minimal afrika, come riding into un.t.o. territory with a bulky and exotically charged ep. featuring heavy basslines, synth leads and a reckless use of rihanna-like vocal samples. this one s for the dark, incense-filled dancefloors only.

“mornin” is a radical discoid track built with alien hoover pads and synthetic stabs that is both fresh and euphoric. “clean sunrise” has deep feelings for south african shores and gentle rhodes harmonies. “mannam” is a triumphant little number whilst “capasa” is a 6 min long improvised recording locked down in one take.

inspired by his love of &#8203,,,,brazilian beats, transatlantic hip hop and classic house music, dj/producer mele&#769,,,, debuts on edible with a single that perfectly encapsulates this young artists sound and energy. having built up an impressive production cv by remixing for the likes of tiga and disclosure, as well as releasing original tracks like the 2015 tribal house anthem, ambience, the boy from the wirral lets rip on eats everythings label with 2 killer club tracks. frenzied tribal rhythms are in full effect on scouse afrika, a track thats already picked up heat and featured in jackmasters recent radio 1 essential mix. functional and rolling beats come alive with chopped vocal refrains dipped in delay the rumbling low end supplying an irresistible groove thatll no doubt whip up some dance mania in the local discotheque. more high-octane sounds are packed into sleepless the percussive elements providing the hooks alongside choppy vocals and booming sub-bass, its perky arrangement never letting the energy drop for a minute. meles energetic and unique percussive sound has gained him prolific support and recognition from some of the biggest names across the scene, patrick topping, skream, jamie jones, annie mac and pete tong, and this single is sure to win over a whole new legion of fans. meles &#8203,,,,scouse afrika sleepless &#8203,,,,is available from 9t&#8203,,,,h&#8203,,,, december on edible.

minimal afrika launch their self-titled imprint with the kingdom, a collection of woozy house journeys that flows from the jackin acid grooves of title track the kingdom to the spooky sci-fi tropical pads of untitled . while ottombre and something about greece plunge into deeper, more chugging territory. emanating strong, low-slung detroit vibes.

the wurst edits gang has inducted yet another ny disco acolyte to the fold, the inimitable irishman-in-new york, eamon harkin. known for wild dj sets not to mention his innovative bookings at such parties as sunday best and fun, harkins no stranger to dance music. no wonder the mans shared bills with such legends as afrika bambaataa, juan atkins, grandmaster flash, the egyptian lover, and kevin saunderson. on his debut single, the man heads straight into peak-time territory with the sinister sounds of >john boy<, where synth toms jump out of the shadows only to punctuate an incredibly propulsive groove. >innit< takes a decidedly different turn down edits lane, rejuvenating an early 90s house gem in magnificently wurst fashion.
