Moodymann - Lyk U Used 2

Soundway Records present a special summer tribute double a-side 12" with two tracks from African musicians that both passed away within a couple of months of each other at the end of 2013 / start of 2014. Both tracks are perfect summer tropical DJ fodder for the dancefloor.

On the first side South African singer Shaluza Max's massive Mashkandi / house anthem from 2002 gets a first release on vinyl. This track was a huge hit in South Africa and around the world on its release. With a soaring Zulu vocal and big sound it's a fitting reminder of a very talented musician who worked as a very well respected producer, composer and arranger. He died tragically young at the age of 47 in January of 2014.

On the flip we drop a fairly unknown track from the mid 1980s from one of the biggest names in African music, Tabu Ley Rochereau. A kind of almost balearic proto-house congolese pop cut with drum machines and trademark sweet congo horn section, Hafi Deo is a beautiful track that fell into obscurity outside The Congo by perhaps being too smooth for the 'world music' crowd in the mid 80s. Tabu Ley passed away in November 2013 in his late 70s with over 250 albums and 3000 songs to his name. A true pioneer of the congolese soukous sound, he was also one of the most influential African musicians of his generation.

Release Info

Premiere: Jesse Futerman - Jesse Is A Gambler (Jacques Renault Edit) [Local Talk]

Marcia Maria - Amigo Branco (1978)

'Nyako' is 7th vinyl release at On the Corner and it's a big one. South African producer 'Behr' created 'Nyako' together with Makadem during a Santuri Safari session at Sondeka Festival in Kenya. 
The E.P is 4 cuts that build in brilliance from the original which has extremely broad appeal. Indian producer 'Daisho' delivers a straight ahead 4 x 4 house groover, south-London production duo Modified Man swing their analogue machines into action for a heady synth adventure, which is just a bit broken. Berlin-based duo of Dirk Leyers and DJ Nomad (Hans Reuschl) are the ideal pairing to merge technology and tradition together as AFRICAINE808 bring up the rear with a balearic sensation to round off the EP. 
Makadem is a talented musician and vibrant performing artist from Kenya. He's a figurehead of the Benga scene in Nairobi. His stage presence and powerful vocal delivery, had him likened to the legendary Fela Kuti. Makadem innovates by bringing traditional African instrumentation, story telling and contemporary production methods together.

<b>Juno Plus review</b>:
As the name suggest, The Saint Petersburg Disco Spin Club was born out of Russia and the longwinded alias gives Francis Inferno and Deep Space Orchestra's a run for their moniker money. The Can't You See Me EP for Italian label Glenview Records represents the mysterious producer's first record of the year after a prolific 2012 and leads with a psychedelic and pitched down tenor on "Cant You See" that's not to dissimilar from Tornado Wallace's earlier Balearic works. It sees lazy hi-hat scrapes and thickly struck bass stabs hold down a funky and vocal groove. The dry pitter-patter drum beats of "Tender Melody" move to meet filter-delay horns which are reinforced by a complimentary bassline and vocals of dainty swoon. Two cuts for the early hours of a lazy afternoon.
