DJ, edit maestro, buyer for Juno records and founder of the excellent Mukatsuku imprint, Nik Weston is no stranger to the world of afro- centric music. Having fallen in love with our two recent reissues of ultra rare records by Ghanaian afro-disco pioneer Rim Kwaku Obeng, Nik got to work re- editing a track from each release. Both versions are now extremely DJ friendly. "Love Me For Real" by Rim & Kasa is an instantly seductive disco killer with an ever-growing groove, cleverly looped up by Mr Weston for maximum impact. "Gas Line" has a real funk edge thanks to it's tight horn section and call-response vocal. Nick's edit takes it new heights, keeping that addictive groove going and going.
Already receiving support from Kon, Volcov, Faze Action and Marc Hype among many others, don't sleep on these stunning edits.

Afrolicious - 'A DUB FOR MALI' EP
released on 8/16/2011 on ESL Music 
Imagine stepping into a bumping dance party at the peak of the night and feeling the movement of the dancers around you; take a psychedelic walk through the Malian desert with a boom box, or meditate on some modern dub as the night winds down. Afrolicious brings musical treats for you to feed your mind, body and soul which mixes a love of dj and dance culture along with a passion for organic soulful live music from around the world. With their first official release "A Dub for Mali" they have created a recipe that will satisfy diverse musical palettes, with elements of Afro-Beat and Disco brought together for 'Thursday Night Kinda Swing', Electro-Dub, reggae and down-tempo on the title track 'Foolin' and a funky mix of Malian blues, psychedelia and beats on 'A Dub for Mali' the ep is a reflection and a taste of the wide spectrum of sounds that have been cultivated weekly at the San Francisco based Afrolicious party, hosted by real life brothers Pleasuremaker and Señor Oz.Afrolicious' debut features some outstanding vocal performances from Burkina Faso's Yacouba Diara and Trinidad's Fresh is Life; locked in percussion and scatting vocals of Baba Duru,tight horn work of Billy Magic and Aaron Lebowitz and the wicked slide guitar, funky bass and arrangements of Joey "Pleasuremaker" McGuire.Produced by Rob Garza of Thievery Corporation the tracks were recorded in an improvisational atmosphere that helped capture the magic of the Afrolicious party environment, a place where magic might happen if you give it a chance.The vibe of the Afrolicious party and the years of working with outstanding musicians, vocalists and djs in clubs all over are captured on this release.



THURSDAY NIGHT KINDA SWING

'Crazy' is the first single off of the upcoming full length album by San Francisco's Afrolicious. This disco banger is infused with Afro guitars, poly-rhythmic Latin percussion, fierce horn stabs and the soulful vocals of Trinidad and Tobago's Fresh is Life. 'Crazy' is a timeless dance floor anthem that feels like it could have been played at David Mancuso's Loft parties, Larry Levans Paradise Garage club, in a Lagos nightclub in the late '70's or in any contemporary club in London, New York or Tokyo. Musically composed by Pleasuremaker (who plays bass, guitars, keyboards and drum programming) and with lyrics written by Fresh is Life 'Crazy' is the culmination of the Afrolicious aesthetic: great melodies, funky rhythms, universal lyrics and good vibes. 'Crazy' will be making dance floors go crazy for a long time to come, and with remixes by the legendary Jamaican Dub producer Scientist coming out later this year the craziness is unlikely to end anytime soon.
