The Liberators - Cairo Uprising

baby got back (UFe re-rub)

If you want to throw a successful block party, you need to get the sound, the system and the beats just right!' Mo' Horizons have done exactly that with their new album. 'Mo' Horizons and the Banana Soundsystem' is about putting the groove in place, as entertaining and profound as possible: 'We were touring to such an extent that we were nearly going bananas,' Mo' Horizons creative mastermind Ralf Droesemeyer recollects the last few years. 'It was as much fun as it was a colourful trip exploring the music of the world.

Mo' Horizons - In Love With An Old Man feat. Denise M'Baye

Sweet soul music, Africa inna funky and electronic stylee. When you combine the mezmerizing vocals, melodies, ngoni playing and soul of African master musician Yacouba Diarra (from Burkina Faso) with the production skills and multi-insturmental approach of Afrolicious founder, Pleasumaker, you get this funk biz!
Plus Izzy Wise on the flute!

The lead cut from their new LP, "Octagon."  A cinematic album that builds on the funk and afrobeat sounds of their previous work with psychedelic layers and fiery rhythms.

In their 6 years of existence, Akalé Wubé have never stopped widening the canvas onto which they lay their music, which keeps becoming richer and deeper just like their primary source of inspiration: the popular Ethiopian repertoire of the 60s and 70s. The band started off by covering music from the 'Ethiopiques' series, after which they immersed themselves deeper into Ethiopian music, all the while multiplying their collaborations with musicians and dancers from Ethiopia, Africa and Europe. Slowly but surely, clocking in at around 200 concerts in Europe, Asia and Africa, the band has become one of the world’s leading ambassadors of Ethiopian groove.

'Mèmona' is a traditional Ethiopian piece from the Tigray Region (the northernmost of the nine ethnic regions of Ethiopia), played at weddings. Akalé Wubé discovered the song as sung by Tèwèldè Rèdda on the 'Éthiopiques 5: Tigrigna Music 1970-1975' compilation from Buda Musique, released in 1999. They covered it in their third album 'Sost', and it has since grown into one of the great rockin' jams in their setlists. Nonetheless, saxophone and flute player from the band Etienne de la Sayette has decided to try his producing chops on a remix, trying to bring the tune into a gritty psychedelic afro-rock trip, with lots of sanza...

JUNGLE FIRE - Comencemos (Renegades Of Jazz Remix)

All-star Colombian ensemble Ondatrópica return with a new single featuring a cover of Fela Kuti's 1971 classic 'Chop 'n' Quench' and two remixes.  'Chop 'n' Quench' was recorded during the original recording process at Colombia’s famed Discos Fuentes studio early last year.  

A project originally conceived by Will ‘Quantic’ Holland and Mario Galeano (Frente Cumbiero) the self-titled album went onto be released via Soundway Records to critical acclaim. Preserving the vibrant sound of the past and taking it to new heights with modern approaches to production, arrangement and composition, Ondatrópica topped many end of year lists in 2012.

New York based Adam Partridge, also known as Atropolis, remixes 'El Caimán y el Gallinazo' a track originally written by Climaco Sarmiento, the father of Ondatrópica's legendary saxophone player Michi Sarmiento. French producer DJ iZem’s remix of 'Tiene Sabor, Tiene Sazón' was chosen by the band from over 50 entries to a recent remix competition. 

Speaking of DJ iZem's remix Will Holland said, "This was definitely the best and most innovative remix we heard. He went out on a good style that progresses throughout."  
 
Ondatrópica are currently on tour throughout Europe.

Afrolicious Bio -

Afrolicious, the live/electronic collective based in the San Francisco Bay Area started out not as a band but as a club night at the famed Elbo Room in The Mission District in 2007.  The format of Afrolicious party was very open and included the DJs spinning the latest soulful dance music including Afro-House, broken beat, modern funk and disco alongside classics and re-edits and remixes of their favorite Afrobeat, Salsa, and Brazilian funk alongside live percussionists and guest MCs and musicians. Eventually morphing into a live band led by the production and arrangement skills of Pleasuremaker, many dancers, DJs and producers began to take notice of their unique sound.  

Since the release of their first two EPs which were produced by Rob Garza of Thievery Corporation, the reputation of the band and founding DJs Pleasuremaker and Señor Oz have grown and they have performed everywhere from Red Rocks, Burning Man, Cielo and the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. "We never planned on becoming a live band, but like everything else about Afrolicious it happened organically," says Oz. "When we started the party, it was truly what we thought the Mission was about. It wasn't exclusive and it wasn't exclusionary, it was open to everyone. The youngest person in our collective is the rising soul singer Ziek McCarter who started with us at 19. Our oldest member is Baba Duru, who moved to SF in 1970 and toured with Stevie Wonder. Our vocalist is from Trinidad and our drummer is from Brazil. We all congregated in SF over our love of the universal groove. There are rhythms that connect all dance music from the beginning of time to the present day and we believed we could transmit them."  

In 2013 they released their debut full-length album, California Dreaming on their own label, Afrolicious Music. IN 2014 they assembled some of the finest DJs and producers from around the world to remix their debut album. California Dreaming Remixed features remixes from Jamaican dub legend Scientist, Rob Garza from Thievery Corporation, Peruvian electronic live hybrid Novalima, Brazilian nu-disco producer Trotter, Australia’s Omegaman, Miami’s Stereo 77 and the Bay Area’s DJ Smash, J Boogie, Izzy Wise and Antonio Guedes.



  Afrolicious is also loosely affiliated with a worldwide group of DJs, producers, bands, and labels who produce contemporary soulful dance music inspired by sounds of the African diaspora, including Antibalas, Chico Mann, Nickodemus, DJ Smash, Wonderwheel Recordings, Subsuelo, and Cumba Mela. 



Amazing Live band, sound system, weekly party, vibration!
For 8 years Afrolicious brought out an amazing crowd every week to an experience many compare to church in the sense of a weekly gathering for spiritual purposes.
Afrolicious continues to inspire and push the boundaries of music productions, events, and community. They are set to release a number of new releases in 2015. There are finished projects ready to be released and brand new songs being  added to the fold regularly. Stay tuned for new originals, remixes, and mixtapes. Plus some amazing collaborations in the works
