two fantastic edits by japanese based artist dj k... vinyl only release..

hot new one from legowelt in his nacho patrol guise. whirling synth organs and tough percussion, pitched to raise the spirits in voodoo style. shangaan electro producer, nozinja, is on the remix... burning it at 180bpm!!! the remix is dedicated to his little sister or sesana whom we are told was dancing wildly during the recording..

gel abril was missing on be as one for a long time now, 2 years that he spent consolidating his ever-growing career with originals and remixes on strictly rhythm, get physical, paragraph and playing all around the world in the best events and clubs. angola is destined to be another stormer from gel as this is a proper follow up to his classic >spells of yoruba<, stripped down techno beats with an ethnic flavour, its another hit for the israeli producer. >changes< subtle hypnotizing mood and its almost laid back approach will fit well in many record boxes, perfect for keeping the floor moving and grooving.

favorite recordings proudly presents combattant, first ep by pat kalla produced by bruno patchworks hovart. pat kalla is a musician, singer and storyteller. patrice of his birth name, in tribute to the great lumumba! lover of words, french language, and music of course. born in lyon, from a cameroonian father, musician and political activist, and a french and literary mother, he explores from his childhood the soul, the slam, the funk and the art of telling stories, life being a great one. after years of touring alongside many bands (conte & soul, legend of eboa king, mento cloub, voilaaa sound system), and several acclaimed titles on the two albums by voilaaa, he comes back with this project to put a bit of primordial lightness in a rainy world: a tribute to the african culture in honor of a father with sawa origins, the tribe from the people of makossa. jojo ngallé, moni bilé, pain, manu dibango, franco, rochereau, kabasele, fela, françois nkotti & the black style, all these legends vinyls have turned on the family turntable and the collection has whetted the child s appetite. through this new trip, he revisits styles that are sometimes little known to western audiences, such as high-life, makossa, angolan music, afrobeat, afro-disco and others. we could talk about franc cfa, we could talk about jacques foccart, but we will rather dance, because -the dancer seems naive, but his feet must be connected with earth to understand history backed by the super mojo disco, a hyperactive band from lyon with deep groove and positive energy, pat kalla offers us an anti-crisis project, where swaying and feel-good humor is mandatory! an album soon in the crates, beware cest medicament
