Box'n Dice Invites 01: ZOUKOUS

It is our great pleasure to publish the 2nd volume of the amazing Suriname Disco Scant mix that originally came out 2 years ago. If you haven’t yet heard that masterpiece of a mix, check it out ( https://soundcloud.com/wearemawimbi/radio-mawimbi-62-jumanne-kasimir-presentent-surinam-disco-scant ).

Jumanne and Kasimir have dug deep once again and present over an hour of Suriname only tracks for your listening pleasure, expertly presented with voice-overs from TV and radio shows over the last 40 years, all involving Surinamese Dutch accents and we are told often funny moments for those who speak Dutch.  The gentlemen also have an Instagram account where they present record covers and labels from Surinam. Nobody is deeper into these sounds than these two. Check it out here: https://www.instagram.com/pokoemonster/ 

If you like African music, you’ll no doubt already be familiar with the work of Afro pioneer and digging powerhouse that is Jumanne and his website about African music that has been running for longer than some listeners of this mix now have been breathing on this planet. You can follow him here and you definitely should:

I wish there were more places on earth where clubbing crowds are open minded enough to dance like crazy to this kind of set. It took place on Saturday morning, playing into the sunrise of the Cosmic Stage in Chemnitz/Germany. All improvised and inspired by all the other outstanding dj sets that I have the chance to witness yearly at this very sacred spot called Cosmic Gathering/Camp Cosmic. I'm very grateful to be part of this ever inspiring community like no other. After 5 years it's the first time the recording of my set actually succeeded so I'm excited to share it with you, full of errors, fx overdosing, much laughter and crazy dancin'. Thanks to everyone involved and cya next year!

NTS - Doing Time w/ Fritjof Drake

Appearing extensively on @lvlvlv's <i>Sebenza</i> album for @hyperdub, South African MC @okmalumkoolkat has proven to be a force behind the mic on a diverse concoction of global bass rhythms. His very first solo EP sees its release on August 11th via Viennese connoisseur label @affine-records and we're proud to premiere this rompish cut from it.

Produced exclusively by @luckyme cohort @cidrim and RBMA graduate @theclonious, the <i>Holy Oxygen I</i> EP constructs a logical shared space between kwaito, grime, juke and experimental hip hop, making for a truly exciting listen from start to finish. The record's second track pays homage in name to footwork, but in fact sounds closer to some of the more forward-thinking excursions currently conducted in the world of grime. Okmalumkoolkat's cheeky lyricism serves effectively as antipole to the combative instrumental, making for a good-tempered dancefloor tune that can send feet off to work at any hour of the night. 

Lyrics written and performed by @okmalumkoolkat
Executive produced by @cidrim and @theclonious

Stilo Magolide - All On Me (snippet)

Jumanne presents a 2-hour mix for Penossi Radio, recorded live at Platypus Records (Amsterdam), 26 March 2024. 
A rare peek into boogie, modern soul, dancehall and reggae from 1980s and '90s Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten (the former Netherlands Antilles). While a few of these songs enjoyed local chart success back in the days, the majority of the singles and LP tracks disappeared into oblivion, until now. Some of the singles were self-released in small amounts, and they remain ungoogleable and little known. 
Big up Kasimir, Rozaly, Selwyn de Windt, and Platypus for their support! Stay tuned for a quality selection of music from the islands on Soundway, coming soon.

BOYZNBUCKS is bringing the streets into your headphones with their first official release MSWENKOfontein, better known to fans as vmswenko.

Featuring production by half-man / half machine Sibot, the single is an ode to the s'manje-manje street style that is putting South Africa on the map. The track goes in hard with a chanting chorus and uppercut vocals by OkMalumKoolKat, Stilo Magolide and uSanele, certified to be a chart topper and anthem for all the kids of mzansi.

Mswenkofontein (Feat. Okmalumkoolkat, Stilo Magolide & U_Sanele)

Four integrated mixtapes of Hip Hop and R&B. I wanted you to experience the proximity of R&B to Hip Hop. As with many popular waves, it's always the underground, the root that seeds and flourishes the blossoming tree. 

All tracks, cuts and selections mixed by yours truly.

Part 1 of 4

Fruit Of Love I

During a hot summer week in 2012 Kalaf Angelo, Gery Mendes, Bamba Nazar, Okmalumkoolkat and Nastio Mosquito came together to connect, compose and record at the Red Bull Studios in Amsterdam. The musicians, producers, visual artist and poet have a background in four different continents but rediscovered their joint heritage and passions rooted in the Motherland. During these sessions and conversations Boom Africa's first thematic EP was born: Boom Africa - The Love Affair.

Boom Africa was initiated by Metro54 and Africanhiphop.com to create a physical platform for music from all corners of Africa and the diaspora, and to promote dialogue and experimentation.

Boom Africa's first release is an ode to the love affair, reminiscent of what photographer Malick Sidibe captured in the imageries of the dancing lovers in the night clubs of 1960s Bamako. Festively, intimately courting your ears to travel with the music to Mogadishu, Luanda, Joburg or Kinsasha, cities that are being revived with injections of a generation of new dreamers and lovers. Boom Africa is a soft coup d'état on the domination of hyper-sexual dance music.
