for the past 15 years the tanzanian megalopolis of dar es salaam has had one of the most exciting underground electronic music scenes in east africa. a constellation of micro-scenes from mchiriku, sebene and segere all the way to its latest mutation of singeli that finally after years of lurking in the underground has exploded into the mainstream and taken over bongo flava as the music of choice amongst tanzania s youth. born in the sprawling working class neighborhoods of tandale and manzese, singeli s signature sound consists of fast paced frantic loops interlocking with each other, with influences from zanzibars tarab music all the way to south african afro-house coupled with mc s who often spit satirical lyrics about the challenges facing tanzania s youth, from police corruption to the complications of dating girls when you are broke. if there is one studio that stands out amongst the hundreds that dot dar es salaam s musical landscape it is sisso records. centered around producers, bwax, sisso, bampa pana and yung keyz morento and mc s dogo niga and makavelli, they were early pioneers of the singeli sound. whilst some singeli artists have begun fusing their music with more traditional tanzanian hip hop, sisso have remained uncompromising in their sound, always raw, fast with a punk diy aesthetic that can at times verge on noise and gabber, to produce a spell binding music that is like no other sound system culture in the region.

fresh experimental afro infected journey

metempsychosis vinyl 001 invites you to the sonic soundscapes of tapefeed along with a remix by vril. here, we are presented with the unfolding of both legend and reality, abstract and matter, sound and touch. a journey, a mythical trip into the japanese tale of amaterasu, goddess of the sun and susanoo, god of chaos narrated through the literature of pulsing drum kicks, transcendental snares and atmospheric drones. through the evolution of the tracks we are invited to retrace the steps taken by the gods from the darkness, disorder and dismay created by susanoo to the lucidity, light and ultimate return of order as the gleaming amaterasu re-emerges from her cave. this story, visualised by sound is to be perceived through the unrestrained movement of your body, in the same way the dawn goddess ame-no-uzume danced, luring the sun back into the sky. here, we ask you to let go, abandon yourself and embrace the dawn at the end of the eclipse.

say you love me wasn’t “om” alec khaoli’s first solo recording but the 1985 ep solidified the bass player and songwriter’s standing as one of south africa’s most consistently innovative pop auteurs. he built a career on ubiquitous rock, pop and soul hits with groundbreaking bands like the beaters, harari and umoja. but khaoli’s seemingly endless fountain of music continued outside these ensembles, where he usually played bass and contributed songwriting and vocals.

beau wanzer returns with another lp of archival material plucked from the mutant mounds of shitty coughs and smelly feet. wanzer digs deep and delivers twelve tracks in his inimitable style, with some dating as far back as 1999. the brutal electronic punk productions like something stinks are balanced with moldy movements such as staring at at fish. this lp takes a more vocal heavy and menacing approach, but it s not without moments of respite. undoubtedly another oozing outing from the chicago deviant.
