AFRO EXOTIQUE - ADVENTURES IN THE LEFTFIELD, AFRICA 1972-82 (LP)
12 Inch 16.12.19
the influence of traditional and contemporary african music on funk and disco, from the late 60 s to the early 80s, has rightly become ever more widely recognised and acknowledged over the last 30 years.
the first volume of the new remixes series is up next on bld tape recordings. original tracks previously released have been revisited by artists that support the label since the early days and give shape to this varied and solid 3 remixes ep. on side a, eric cloutier blurs the line between deep house and techno with a signature theorem remix of the transpose layered with acid basslines and scuffled dub chords. stojche pops up on b1 with an advanced power house-ish vision of crawling showcasing drums, chords and leads precisely crafted. and on b2, copenhagen-based anastasia kristensen delivers her take on bubble games bringing us into a trippy and faster dark mood charged by repetition and enigmatic pads.
limited 180 gram vinyl reissue of the 1956 collaboration by ella fitzgerald & louis armstrong. housed in a gatefold sleeve with photographs by william claxton.

van abbes fresh no comment release presenting 2 originals, a killer remix by the exaltics and a debut track by pantone 32. it wasnt until she opened the old pocket watch – its timeworn silver surface glimmering slightly in the darkness – that she understood that something was terribly wrong. it was audibly pounding in her hand like some kind of bizarre metal heart. and it was decidedly running backwards. she could not move and she could not take her eyes off the spinning indicators. >stop<, she whispered. then again, louder this time: >stop!<. the watch stopped and fell silent. she exhaled and moved uneasily on the spot. the floorboards creaked. wait. the floorboards? there werent any floorboards in her room. it was all concrete and glass and…. her room wasnt there anymore. she was standing in an old workshop brimming with ancient-looking machinery covered in sawdust. no-one was operating the equipment but their ghostly echoes were still floating through the air, buzzing, hammering, humming – almost melodic to her ears. the pocket watch came to life in her hand, acting as a steady metronome to the spectral orchestra. she wasnt home anymore. but it certainly was.

ltd repress .. now a firm favourite in many a dj’s record bag, nigerian disco-boogie king steve monite’s hit “only you” (featured on soundway’s recent “doing it in lagos” compilation), is given a rework by sofrito s own frankie francis. on the b-side, nick the record teams up with idjut boys’ dan tyler to take on “hafi deo” - a beautiful taste of breezy tropical congolese pop from tabu ley rochereau.
