vinyl only

limited 2017 repress !! with the much anticipated debut album of afefe iku, yoruba records presented the first official banger of 2008 with mirror dance. with its ridiculous driving beat, and one of the most memorable melody lines we ve heard on the dance floor, mirror dance is another one of those dance floor monstrosities that afefe iku seems to naturally pull out of his magic hat. on the b side, osunlade takes it deep with his yoruba soul mix featuring spoken word king oveous maximus. with deeper rhythms and a stripped groove, this one takes you back to the basement house parties allowing you to go into trance and zone out to the words of ove. brace yourselves, yet again

the latest installment from the labels mystery man takes us out of the jungle and into the mountains, where syncopated analog rhythms dance beside electric melodies surrounding a caravan of textures and reflection. not much else needs to be said about this one except its either for you or not, if so, enjoy and elevate.

yoruba records proudly present the return of afefe iku. returning after a four year hiatus with is his first release since his 2008 debut album and smash hit mirror dance, here we have a four song ep entitled the blues. with his eclectic force and sound, afefe brings us another chapter in his developing story. the blues gives us the dark edge of deeper techno, whereas the arsonist is an in your face mid tempo head banger featuring osunlade on vocals. dakountdown and jungle beats stand alone in style and approach as a throwback to the days when house was simply just house, without the multitude of todays dance genres. yoruba pray that you embrace the next wave of sound from the mind of the man who brought you the classic artifacts of pottery vessels

so, who is this mysterious afefe iku? after absolutely destroying the dancefloors all year long with his infamous bootleg of radioheads >everything in its right place<, which he smartly put out in extremely limited amounts of vinyl around the same time his mentor, osunlade, featured his cover of that very same song on bbes >exit music: songs with radio heads<. in all honesty afefe remains a mystery even to us. so, let us start by saying who afefe isnt. unfortunately, for those who thought he was osunlade, you are mistaken, but dont feel ashamed, because afefe creates at osunlades studio in santorini, which makes sense to pinpoint him as osunlade.

der nigerianische musiker fela kuti gilt als begründer des afrobeat. das label knitting factory legt nun verschiedene werke aus dem backcatalogue als neue vinyl-edition vor. diese entstammen ursprünglich dem von brian eno zusammengestellten set -vinyl box 3/compiled by brian eno- und waren einzeln nicht erhältlich. schwarzes vinyl / 180g. 1973 entstanden, ist -gentleman- der direkte vorläufer zum legendären album -alagbon close- - und alle zutaten des legendären afrobeat sind hier schon perfekt angelegt. thematisch pendelt das album zwischen kolonialismus (das titelstück) und persönlichen erlebnissen. -fefe naa efe- zelebriert die Überwindung von herzschmerz, während -igbe- (zu deutsch -scheiße-) durchdekliniert, wann ein menschen -scheiße- handelt: von verrat bis zur mangelnden selbstachtung ist die rede.

following on from torquato and boghosians acclaimed debut on yoruba is this, a selection of remixes diverse and interesting enough to do justice to the original lp, which received praise for the rich tapestry of musical sources it drew influence from. first up, afefe iku delivers a much deeper, weightier version of paradice laden with heavy synth stabs and woody percussive elements. aybee takes when u touch me - probably the standout club track on the original lp – into much deeper realms, stripping back the original groove . its remarkably simple but flawlessly executed, the chord motif working effortlessly alongside the crisp hats. atone tackles zulu girl and in the process unravels a much more mechanical track, a massive mid-tempo thud dominating over delayed cymbal crashes and ghostly vocals. overall - a darker vibe and a truly timeless collection of remixes.
