So it's kick off time in South Africa today and Afro inspired sounds will dominate the soundscape nearly everywhere around the globe....We are kicking off the event in our own style with the debut 7" single from Ariya Astrobeat Arkestra dropping in March on FirstWord records'Crosstown Traffic'delivers a firing afrobeat cover of the Jimi Hendrix classic, this is instant dancefloor damage material and great for celebrating your teams victories...good luck to all the counties involved.....C'mon Eng-land!
1.Crosstown Traffic 2.Lost in Kinshasa (45 edit) 3.Lost in Kinshasa (full version) FW42
Subbass driven funky socafied rhythms from Mario, he dropped some new remixes in April, but we are still digging the original flava from last year.....Now play that bloodclart bass!
So just 10 days to go to the greatest show on earth and the anticipation felt around the world is gathering excitement by the hour...As readers will know we at mt@o are avid followers of the beautiful game...or as our friends in the US would say 'what that game with 22 grown men kicking a ball around'...yes my dear cousins that game which is truly GLOBAL and brings people together like no other. Now for the tunes to go with, Next Stop Soweto Vol.2 is the second in STRUTrecords three-part compilation series showcasing ‘underground’ South African music of the 60's and 70's. Thanks to several years of painstaking research and vinyl archaeology by compilers Duncan Brooker and Francis Gooding they've uncovered some rare gems of SA soul, funk, R&B and psych sounds from a time when these unknown musicians plied their trade under an oppressive apartheid regime during the years before the tumultuous Soweto uprising of 1976...We're dropping 2 tracks from the comp a quality funky groover from the Soul Throbs with a track called 'Little Girl' and some uptempo boogie bizniz from The Heroes with 'Come With Me', just wish the tracks were longer, re-edits anyone?... An overall amazing collection of obscure South African music....An essential purchase to enjoy head-nodding during those half-time brakes,
Has an interesting mix of animation, Indonesian shadow puppet work and 1920's era jazz. Animator Nina Paley's indulges us in her own interpretation of the Hindu epic Ramayana "the greatest break-up story ever told" and set it to the 1920's jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw to imaginative effect...The eclectic cultural tapestry that is Sita Sings the Blues, is an 82-minute feature that combines autobiography with a retelling of the classic Indian myth..Betty Boop rocks and you know it!
First heard dropped by that crafty casual DJ Ross Allen, a cracking piece of jackmyfunkysoul house muzik with bags of humour and a big bouncy bassline from out of the woods Sarf London lads Joe Goddard(Hot Chip) & DJ Raf Daddy (AKA the2bears). Their debut EP on Southern Fried Records includes 2 original tracks with 'Be Strong' a nod to London soundsystem culture, that's rockin' all over the mt@o HQ and a stunning rework of Marvin Gaye’s “Mercy Mercy Me” and a cover of Sade “When Am I Going To Make a Living”. Excellente! my dear bears..
