2019 repress - echoes of this summers shango still shimmer through systems as detroits waajeed continues to make good on his promise: to put paint where it aint. after years of soul, funk and hip-hop explorations as a founding member of the platinum pied pipers (among many other innovative escapades) and, most recently, a soulful remix of amp fiddler on kenny dixons mahogany music, waajeed is building on the fresh line of house grooves he commenced this summer. his first pedigree dancefloor tracks in almost 20 years, he taps directly into the source and builds with his own soulful bricks. its working, too, dj-wise hes playing alongside moodyman, mr. scruff and carl craig this fall, while shango has enjoyed heavyweight support by the black madonna, carl craig, jackmaster, gilles peterson and many notable selectors.
