Barbakan

A Summer house chugger for ya from Baobinga's Joint Ventures LP on his own Build Recordings. "Barbakan" Is in Colab with Mancunian producer xxxy ( remember him who gave us the sick Fela rework).In fact the whole LP is a collaboration with fellow forward thinking artists such as Hyetal, Geiom, Kowton, Gemmy & Guido. But here we get all wet & sticky with a tuff percussive, colour-soaked dance track for those lazy daze and drive thru's....Essential.

Stream the album in full HERE. Available direct from BUILD

People Everywhere.

Something that was dropped into my lap last weekend and I really hadn't had a chance to digest it fully and you know anything with hard rock in the title normally puts me right off straight away, but this little comp from the Now-Again peeps really digs deep with a 70's untold story of various underground music scenes from Indonesia. Weather it be psychedelic, progressive rock or low down dirty funk, it's all here and this is my pick of the bunch.....Njoy!
