Singer and producer Brazen Rule comes from the city Lira in northern Uganda. He won the Pearl of Africa Music Awards for Northern Artist of the Year, was given 4 times the title as best producer at the Lango Entertainment Awards and was also chosen best northern Reggae artist of the year. He made himself a name as one of the most humble artists in the north because his lyrics are centered about the everyday people that hustle from day to day to earn a living, the market women, the single mothers or the orphans that were raised after the war in the north. 

Ancient Astronauts connected with Brazen Rule in 2017 when DOGU was part of the Rhythm Is Life Tour 2017 in northern Uganda and Brazen was one of the attendees of the workshop in Lira. For the final compilation of this tour he recorded the lyrics for “Bad Muje” to an older beat by Ancient Astronauts and Poldoore. And that version of “Bad Muje” became a big hit in northern Uganda and now people call Brazen Rule “Bad Muje” since that day. It is a saying for an older respected person, one with experience and skills.

But that original version of “Bad Muje” was never officially released. It only came out on the free download compilation of the Rhythm Is Life Tour 2017 that is available on Bandcamp. So for the upcoming label compilation “20 years Fantastic Freeriding” Kabanjak and DOGU of Ancient Astronauts decided to produce a new riddim for the song and give it a proper official release. And here it is!

"This Man"
by The Resolvers
https://ffm.to/thisman/




Hot off the heels of their popular and trending Sugarshack Sessions video and audio releases, The Resolvers are closing out the year with another brand new, original single. Sahara Kai Smith takes center stage on This Man, a dangerously sultry reggae soul tune.

From the start Sahara commands your attention with her lush and powerful voice combined with her cool, confident vibe, so listen up!  Sahara belts out a tale of Women's empowerment, and tells you how she adores This Man. She teases a little with  “He knows where everything goes”. This is a classic reggae-soul tune, with some soul-inspired vocals, and funky horns.

In a recent TV appearance and press feature by WSVN-7 Fox Miami they said “The horn section supplies the power in this group.”, and This Man showcases this strength.  The so-called “Hamsa Horn Section” keeps the whole track on pace, and then finishes strong with a Devon Heinrichs solo on saxophone.
This Man is the third in a series of new singles from The Resolvers this year. Mixed by Dean Fishback of 7 Hills Studios and Mastered by Lion and Fox Studios for that deep, authentic reggae sound. The Resolvers are currently planning Tour Dates for 2023 and working on new music, stay tuned.

Lord Sandwich - The Great Watusi

Incarner et chanter la femme africaine du futur. Éduquer. Transmettre sur les scènes internationales le matrimoine culturel et les traditions congolaises sur une musique inédite en Afrique. Les Mamans du Congo & Rrobin signent leur retour avec un EP et un nouvel album en 2023. 

Après le single Ntima, place au deuxième extrait de l'EP intitulé Sala Sala. Sala Sala signifie "travaille travaille" en lari. Dans ce titre, Gladys Samba et ses mamans incitent les jeunes congolais à travailler. Même s'il n'y a plus d'embauche, il faut créer ses propres emplois afin de s'émanciper et revenir aux sources. Ce titre incite au retour aux richesses du Congo Brazzaville et au travail de la terre.

The Ancient Astronauts are Kabanjak and Dogu, a bulletproof production and DJ duo hailing from Cologne, Germany. The phenomenon of “ancient astronauts, “a belief that extraterrestrial beings visited Earth in ancient times to mingle and trade ideas with early human civilizations”, isn’t an alien concept to these Ancient Astronauts.  The cross-pollination and mash-up of ideas, sounds, styles, and a collaborative spirit are their modus operandi.
Although, the long-time friends are quick to admit that they are not followers of the German music scene, Kabanjak notes, “for us music is and will always be an international phenomena”, and Ancient Astronauts are certainly not afraid to draw on influences from international artists and styles.
Self described as a “mash up of the distant past and far future”; these time travelers´ music is a mystic brew born out of an eclectic mix of ideas, sounds and styles. 
Already having remixed and collaborated with AM & Shawn Lee, Nickodemus, Fort Knox Five, Ladybug Mecca (Digable Planets), Zion I, The Pharcyde, Azeem, Analogik, Subatomic Sound System & Anthony B, Bajka, Vieux Farka Toure, Raashan Ahmad, Bajka, DJ Brace and Tippa Irie, the Ancient Astronauts always link up with a quality selection of sonic collaborators. 
 “At an early stage we realized that we are both big music heads so we started running parties in our hometown together”. Those parties became the catalyst for a production team that never forgot its roots. They specialize in diversity loosely glued together by a single thread. Like a good party, you don’t just listen to the music, you experience it. 
In 2001 Dogu of Ancient Astronauts started his own label Switchstance Recordings, which was developed as a way of allowing them total musical freedom. The label soon gathered momentum and built up an impressive international fan base. Switchstance Recordings is now famous in international club circles for the integrity of its production and style.
