so glad this isnt deleted. downloading this right away. such a rad collection of music.

Yo Will, nice description for this set. Whereas I didn't see much credit to the singers, groups, or composers of your set's songs. Namely, the artists behind the Congolese rumba song

Read your info, my older brother used to have a 45/7 playlist basically a pile of 6 or 7 😁 Motown and reggae.  I've been into soul music since I was about 16.  still love it 40 plus year's on 😎 Keep doing what you do, it work's for me!

Tracklist & Info

Asymetrics Present: Matty S - Africa via Brazil

Super-Sonic Jazz was the first album to be released on El Saturn Records, the label run by Sun Ra and his business partner Alton Abraham. Set up in 1955, they released their first singles, including a doo-wop group The Cosmic Rays and the Arkestra's Saturn, at the beginning of 1956, and had recorded the whole of their first album by the end of the year, to be released in March 1957. El Saturn is now considered, along with Charles Mingus and Max Roach’s Debut label and Harry Partch’s Gate 5 label, "one of the very first and most active artist-owned record labels." Often pressed in editions of 75 — sometimes as few as 20 were made for specific concerts — the records would be manufactured using local black businesses, and often put together in Abraham's own home.

Sun Ra And His Arkestra - India (MM's Rework)

TERANGA BEAT proudly presents DIEUF-DIEUL de THIÈS in their first ever edition. Three singers ASSANE CAMARA, BASSIROU SARR and GORA MBAYE together with their chef d'orchestre and guitar player PAPE SECK (an ex-member of GUELEWAR) compose traditional rhythms from all the regions of Senegal, with fuzz guitars, horn sections and hallucinatory percussion. 

The result is an explosive mixture of an Electric Psychedelic sound with the wisdom and superiority of the musical traditions of the region, a crossover of AFRO-MANDING and AFRO-JAZZ, in which each singer guides the 13-member band in a different direction. Even today this 32 year old recording sounds futuristic and it is really rather weird that DIEUF-DIEUL never had the chance to release an actual album. 

Aw Sa Yone Vol.1 includes the biggest part of their second recording and the double LP comes in a special edition with a Silkscreen print cover with a large poster & included in the CD booklet photos and liner notes outlining the group member's careers. 

There was no other group in Senegal with such a variety of cultural background and a strong identity. Senegalese music at its BEST! We hope you will enjoy.


Dieuf-Dieul de Thies - Aling Na Djimbe

June 23rd marks the arrival of the long-awaited proper reissue of Amara Toure’s groundbreaking Afro-latin studio works captured between 1973 and 1980. Analog Africa has prepared a special gatefold double LP version on 140g vinyl, encompassing the three singles he recorded under the Black and White ensemble between 1973 and 1976 along with the highly coveted Orchestre Massako group’s stunning 1980 LP Accompagné Par L’Orchestre Massako. This is the entire known works of the mystic composer and it is stated in the press that after he recorded Accompagné Par L’Orchestre Massako, he would never been seen again and his whereabouts are unknown to this day. Breaking ground out of the rich legacy and musician development system Dakar, Senegal, producer Ibra Kasseì created, the origins of Ibra’s movement begins in the late ’50s when fusion music around the world was beginning to stretch outside of sketch forms. Cuban styles of son montuno and patchanga were infused with local folk traditions and modern instrumentation of each successive generation, producing a hybrid of West African and Caribbean music that is intoxicating and hypnotic in every rhythm, harmony and overtone. Senegal was buzzing with new creativity through the ’60s and beyond, met with an array of highly advanced musicians and visionaries. Nightlife music for those that wanted something beyond the radio hits and presented with a passionate essence that connected many people in the region of the time.

Amara Toure was brought up in a progressive movement unlike any other and by the time he was able to head his own groups and record his own content from the experience he gained networking with Ibra Kassei, African music had finally hit a global scale. When you open up the lid on the musicians who never made it outside of the regions known for strong music activity, an overwhelming list of artists come up and there is no question that Amara Toure ranks amongst the top of these creators. Originally from Guinea-Conakry, Amara Toure remained underground and raw during his tenure producing records, creating some of the most earth-shattering grooves and harmonies from any West African artist ever. To have his works in one album from the exceptional team at Analog Africa is a dream come true, updating pre-existing copies of originals that run in the triple digit numbers amongst hardcore collectors and doing a great job at preserving the analog warmth of the originals. The singles material was recorded in Cameroon while the 1980 content was done in Libreville, Gabon. Absolutely breathtaking guitar, percussion and horn heavy music that is timeless without question. For the vinyl junkies, this one has been pressed on deluxe gatefold double LP as a 140-gram vinyl and is presented in four-color screenprinted covers and also comes with a screenprinted poster. Limited edition to 1,500 copies, so order now if you want to secure a vinyl copy as these will surely run out quickly. Analog Africa does various reprints on back catalog titles out of print but these are never announced ahead of time. One can only hope they will run multiple campaigns for these prints as this music is too good for words.

1. Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection.

Hello, my name is Will aka Skinshape, I do old school sounding psychedelic-funky-souly-stoner-rock music... Or something like that. I'm working on my fourth album now. I also run a label called Horus Records, we do exclusively roots reggae. I'm also a record trader and collector. Living in London provides a lot of opportunities for record digging. I've been collecting for about 8 years... First reggae mostly, then moving into soul and funk, and now I'm more into African music.


2. 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format.

The 7" for some reason is a near-mythical thing. I don't know quite what it is about it... But something grabs me a lot more than an LP does. 7" Just feels like the coolest format, and I love the artwork on 7" records. If you're into certain genres, especially reggae, the 7" is really the only way to go! 


3. One hour of vinyl goodness... can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?

I've pulled out my favourite 7" singles, but then realised there are still way too many. I've worked it down to records that I can't really let go of, or that I'm just really into at the moment! It starts in the USA, then hops across the Atlantic to Africa (West to East), then hops back across to the Caribbean for a final blast of a few of my favourite reggae singles.


4. Where can people catch you / listen to your music?

You can check me out at https://skinshape.bandcamp.com for my own music, and then for the Horus Records stuff, you can check it at https://horusrecords.bandcamp.com , we just put out two new singles actually! 

5) Top 5 all time fave records

Not really sure, there's too many to say. But... I'll just pick a few I like a lot, in no order:
1. Dinah Washington - This Bitter Earth
2. The Congos - Fisherman
3. The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
4. The Beatles - She Came In Through The Bathroom Window
5. Pink Floyd - Echoes Part I (Live at Pompeii)
