unbelievable deep and driving techno sound of the first hour. this 4 tracker from r.m.k. shows where techno should be. in the here and now, without exaggeration, without bling bling and without polarization. r.m.k. utilises his knowledge and past experiences, which include regularly playing at berghain and tresor in berlin, as well as fabric in london, to develop his individual sound. during his more than 20 year career in music, he has formed friendships and worked in partnership with other respected artists such as trevino (marcus intalex), jamie anderson, robert owens, goldie and nastia. although the focus is always on the very heart of the most raucous of raves, r.m.k never shies away from groove and funk. this is conveyed in a live show that utilises classic hardware from the golden age of uk rave.

the chisa years: 1965–1975 (rare and unreleased) is a compilation album by south african jazz trumpeter hugh masekela. the album consists of 14 rare or forgotten tracks recorded by stewart levine and hugh masekela from 1965 to 1975 when they ran their own chisa records label. thom jurek of allmusic wrote “in sum, there isn’t a weak moment on this entire collection. it’s appeal is wide and deep and one can only hope this is the first of many volumes of this material to appear. bbe records has done a stellar job in making this slab available.” dan nishimoto of the prefix magazine stated “the compilation focuses on masekela’s original idea of “african american music.” from the early experiments of the zulus (a group featuring m’bulu) in mixing doo-wop, rhythm & blues and south african gospel and the mbaqanga/”grazing in the grass”-style work of the generically named johannesburg street band to the clearly fela-influenced ojah (masekela’s band in the mid-’70s, consisting of players from ghana and nigeria) and the readyfor-primetime belting of m’bulu, each track reveals a multi-pronged effort to find and challenge the notion(s) of how african and american cultural forms could interact.”
